FAQs

Is this headset compatible with all PCs?

It is compatible with any PC that features a standard 3.5mm audio jack. If your PC has separate ports for audio and mic, you will need a 3.5mm splitter.

Does this headset have active noise cancellation?

No, the GHS-05-B does not feature active noise cancellation technology.

Can I use this for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One?

Yes, it is compatible with consoles that feature a 3.5mm jack on their game controllers.

How long is the cable?

The cable provided with the headset is 2 meters long.

What is the microphone pickup pattern?

It features an omnidirectional microphone, meaning it picks up sound from all directions.

Do I need to install drivers?

No, this is a plug-and-play device and does not require any additional software or driver installation.

Troubleshooting

Microphone not capturing sound

Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted. If on a PC, check your Windows sound settings to ensure the correct input device is selected.

Audio only coming from one side

Check the cable for any kinks or damage and ensure the connector is firmly seated in the audio port.

Volume is too low

Check the in-line rotary volume control on the cable to ensure it is turned up, and verify volume levels in your OS software settings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple plug-and-play setup
  • Adjustable headband for a secure fit
  • Convenient physical volume wheel
  • Versatile 3.5mm jack works with consoles and PCs

Cons

  • No active noise cancellation
  • Analog connection lacks digital processing
  • Fixed cable cannot be replaced if damaged

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Connecting the headset is straightforward: insert the 3.5mm plug into the corresponding port on your computer, controller, or laptop. If your device uses separate jacks for audio output and microphone input, you may require a standard 3.5mm splitter adapter (not included) to enable both functionalities simultaneously. To maintain the headset, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the ear cushion material. Avoid wrapping the 2-meter cable too tightly around the headband, as this can cause internal wire fatigue over time. Clean the headset exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the unit in water.
