Best use cases

This headset suits players who want wireless game audio and voice chat without giving up access to phone audio. For example, connect to a console over 2.4GHz and keep a smartphone paired over Bluetooth to hear alerts, music, or calls. The two wireless connections are intended to work simultaneously, so you can manage both sources without removing the headset.

It also fits gaming sessions where spatial cues, adjustable EQ, and mic monitoring are useful. Players focused on using Bluetooth directly with a console should note the connection distinction: Bluetooth is for phones, laptops, and similar devices, while Xbox and PS5 connect through 2.4GHz. The microphone is not supported on Nintendo Switch.

Getting the most from it

For Xbox, switch the headset to 2.4GHz adapter mode and connect using the supplied USB dongle, then adjust audio settings on the console. Use the 2.4GHz connection for supported gaming devices, Bluetooth 5.3 provides a separate link to a compatible phone or laptop. This gives you a practical way to keep game sound and personal-device audio available together.

Choose the Game, Music, or Movie EQ mode to suit what you are listening to. The mode can be changed with a double press of the mute button. Mic monitoring is useful when you want to hear your voice as you chat, and the directional mic is designed to focus on your speech. The headset cannot be used while charging, so plan charging between sessions.
