Open-back design for positional audio

The open-back construction creates an expansive sound field that lets you pinpoint directional cues such as approaching footsteps during competitive play. Large 45 mm dynamic drivers reproduce a frequency range of 10 Hz to 35 kHz with 98 dB sensitivity and 45 ohms impedance for high-resolution detail.

Weight under 220 grams for extended sessions

At less than 220 grams, the headset remains comfortable during marathon gaming sessions without the clamping force that causes fatigue. The lightweight frame and open earcups reduce heat buildup so you can keep the headset on for hours.

Two detachable cables cover PC and console

A 3.0 m cable with dual 3.5 mm plugs connects to computer mic and headphone jacks, while a 1.2 m TRRS cable plugs directly into PS5 and Xbox Series controllers. The flexible boom microphone detaches for transport, and both earpads and headpad are replaceable for long-term hygiene.

Questions about this item

How does the 45 mm driver size translate to in-game audio?

The 45 mm drivers deliver high-resolution audio with detailed sound reproduction, and the open-back design creates an expansive sound field that helps you localise sounds such as approaching opponents.

What do the two 3.5 mm cables connect to, and what limits their use?

The 3.0 m cable splits into separate 3.5 mm mic and headphone plugs for computers; the 1.2 m cable uses a single 3.5 mm TRRS plug for PS5, Xbox Series X and other consoles. Both are analogue wired connections.

Will the headset fit my head without feeling heavy?

At under 220 grams the headset is extremely lightweight, and the detachable earpads and headpad can be replaced for a customised fit during long sessions.
