Fast charging over USB-C gives up to 9 hours of play from a 15-minute charge, so a flat battery costs you a short break, not your session. A full charge runs up to 30 hours on 2.4GHz or up to 40 hours on Bluetooth, and the charging cable is in the box.

Custom-designed 40mm neodymium magnetic drivers produce clear highs, precise mids and deep bass, with a frequency response of 20 to 22,000Hz. The headset also supports 360-degree spatial audio, so you can tell where a sound is coming from in the game.

The wireless dongle is a nano-sized USB-C adapter with an L-shaped design, so it sits flat against the device and leaves the ports next to it free. Plug it into a PC, a PlayStation, a Nintendo Switch or a USB-C handheld and the headset is ready to use, with no drivers to install.
