Overview

Wireless gaming headset

A wireless gaming headset that pairs very long battery life with 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connections that run at the same time. Its 2.4 GHz receiver is a desktop base station with programmable controls, which most reviewers found useful mainly at a desk.

  • Very long battery life

    It is rated for up to 250 hours over 2.4 GHz, or 125 hours with Bluetooth also connected. Reviewers found that far longer than most rival headsets.

  • Simultaneous 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth

    It can play game audio over 2.4 GHz while taking calls or music from a phone over Bluetooth. The Bluetooth radio is in the headset, not the base station, so it also works away from the desk.

  • Programmable base station

    The base station has a volume dial with tap-to-mute and six buttons for mic level, game/chat mix, EQ presets or macros. Most reviewers found it handy for desk setups but more than many people need.

Wired and Xbox use

A 3.5 mm cable is included for wired listening, and Xbox works only over that cable. The base station connects over USB-C, with a USB-A adapter, and also has 3.5 mm line-in and line-out jacks.
