Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward due to the plug-and-play nature of the 3.5mm wired connector. Simply insert the plug into the headphone jack of your PC, controller, or mobile device. For PC users, ensure your sound settings are configured to recognize the headset as your primary output and input device. To maintain the longevity of your headset, avoid wrapping the 1.3-meter cable tightly around the device, which can lead to internal wire breakage. Clean the ear cushions regularly with a slightly damp cloth to remove oils, and ensure the boom microphone is positioned correctly to avoid excessive breathing noise.
