PLAYSYNC brings your systems together
Switch between connected Xbox, PlayStation and PC/Mac systems from the headset. The HDMI base station handles your console picture and sound together, helping keep a multi-system desk organised.
Hear detail through PRO-G GRAPHENE
40mm PRO-G GRAPHENE drivers work with LIGHTSPEED wireless audio at up to 24-bit/48kHz. Compatible spatial-audio features can help present direction and movement in supported games.
Keep your voice clear and your chat balanced
The boom microphone supports a 48kHz sample rate and flips up to mute. On-ear controls let you adjust game/chat balance while you stay in the session.
Charge when you put the headset down
Dock the headset in the charging base between sessions, or use its USB-C charging port. Battery life reaches up to 24 hours at 78dB; actual runtime varies with settings and use.
Keep compatible 4K/120Hz display features
HDMI 2.1 passthrough supports up to 4K at 120Hz, VRR and ALLM with compatible systems, display and cables. HDMI cables are sold separately; use certified HDMI 2.1 cables for the intended high-bandwidth video mode.
Mix phone audio through the base
Bluetooth connects to the powered base station, letting you mix compatible phone audio with your game. The headset connects through LIGHTSPEED, so keep the base in your setup when using Bluetooth mixing.
