Product Information
Full details
The G-Lab Korp Cobalt is a wired gaming headset designed for gamers seeking a balance of comfort and immersive audio during extended play sessions. Featuring X-TRA Bass technology and breathable e-sport fabric ear cups, this headset provides a lightweight and ergonomic experience that keeps you cool while you play. While it excels in comfort and multiplatform compatibility, users should note that it features a passive supraaural design rather than active noise cancellation, meaning it does not isolate external sound as effectively as closed-back studio models.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this headset require drivers or software?
No, the Korp Cobalt is a Plug and Play device. It does not require any additional software or drivers to function.
Can I use this headset with my phone?
Yes, as long as your phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack. If your phone only has a USB-C or Lightning port, you will need an official audio adapter.
Is the microphone removable?
The microphone is not removable, but it is flexible and can be swiveled out of the way when not in use.
How long is the cable?
The headset comes with a 2.5-meter long cable, providing plenty of room for console or PC gaming setups.
Is this headset compatible with Xbox One?
Yes, it is compatible with the Xbox One via the 3.5mm jack on the controller.
What does 'Supraaural' mean?
Supraaural means the ear pads sit directly on the ears rather than enclosing them completely.
Troubleshooting
Microphone is not picking up my voice
Verify that the microphone is not muted via the in-line remote control and check that the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into the input port.
Audio is only coming out of one ear
Ensure the 3.5mm plug is pushed all the way in and test with another device to rule out a failure in the host console or PC port.
Sound quality sounds muffled or distant
Check your system sound settings to ensure the headset is set as the default output device and verify that all audio enhancements or equalizers are balanced correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward due to the Plug and Play nature of the 3.5mm jack connection. Simply insert the connector into the corresponding audio port on your console controller, laptop, or mobile device. For PC users with separate audio and microphone ports, a splitter adapter (usually included with console gaming setups) may be required depending on your specific hardware configuration.
To ensure the longevity of your Korp Cobalt headset:
- Clean the Fabric: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe down the breathable fabric ear cups periodically to prevent dust and salt buildup from perspiration.
- Cable Management: While the 2.5m cable is durable, avoid wrapping it tightly around the headset frame, as this can strain the internal wiring over time.
- Storage: Store the headset on a dedicated stand or in a drawer to prevent the swivel microphone arm from being accidentally bent while not in use.
