Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward due to the USB-C interface; simply plug the headset into your PC, console, or mobile device for instant recognition. For maximum utility, install the SteelSeries companion app to fine-tune your EQ settings and manage game-specific profiles. To maintain the device, keep the earpads free of debris by wiping them down with a slightly damp microfiber cloth after intense use. When not in use, ensure the cable is stored without sharp bends to preserve internal wiring. If you plan on moving, detach the microphone and store it in a protective case to prevent bending or damage to the connector port.
