Switch audio across three systems

PLAYSYNC AUDIO connects your consoles and computer through USB. Leave each system connected and use the headset button to choose where you want to play.

Graphene drivers for clear game audio

40 mm PRO-G GRAPHENE drivers and 24-bit/48 kHz LIGHTSPEED wireless bring detail to busy scenes. Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic support add spatial audio on compatible platforms.

Talk clearly and bring your phone along

The omnidirectional boom microphone samples at up to 48 kHz. Bluetooth mixing lets phone audio join your game, while G HUB and the mobile app provide EQ and microphone adjustments.

Ready when you sit down

Return the headset to its magnetic charging cradle between sessions. It supports up to 24 hours of play at 78 dB and charging through the dock or USB-C; battery life varies with use.

Plan USB Audio Switching across the Desk

PLAYSYNC AUDIO selects among three connected USB systems using the supplied base station. This A50 Gen 5 arrangement switches the audio source; HDMI display switching belongs to the separate A50 X model and is not a function of this base.

Keep Phone Mixing and Charging at the Base

Phone Bluetooth audio is mixed through the base station, which also provides the magnetic charging cradle. Include the powered base in the setup instead of planning this feature as independent portable Bluetooth pairing directly to the headset.

Plan the Platform and Chat Connection

Choose the exact platform version and check whether its connection uses USB, a wireless receiver or an analogue headset socket. Set the playback and microphone devices deliberately in your game or chat application. Compare related options such as HyperX Cloud III Gaming Headset, Wired and Wireless Options or ASTRO A10 Wired Gaming Headset with Flip-to-Mute Mic, keeping the exact model and configuration in the decision. For the wider setup, explore RODE Wireless ME Compact Wireless Microphone System and check the connection, size or mounting requirements before pairing accessories.
