Product Manuals

Q: Does it connect with a USB on a PC?

A: No, rather it fits in where the head phone plugs in. The mic will work through that connection as well. I found out that it works well with external computer speakers that have the head phone jack, with the mic very well, therefore muting the speakers while doing a video chat session. I hope that this helps Charlie

Q: Are these actual noise cancelling headset

A: They may not be noise cancelling headphones but they do block A LOT of sound out. About not being able to hear yourself, you just adjust the sidetone up in the software and it helps tremendously. If you don't know what sidetone is, it plays back your voice through the headset so you dont end up talking louder than needed. Before you ask, no it doesn't sound funny or echo it actually just feels right. NOTE if you turn up sidetone too much it will make a terrible feedback squealing sound that will make you want to rip the headset off and throw it across the room to get away from the awful sound. Just take care when adjusting sidetone, normally only need to set it to 1 or 2. Love these headphones though.

Q: Will this headset work with a scuff controller

A: Hi. I don't see why it wouldn't work. It just plugs into the 3.5mm port on the controller. With best buy, you can always return the open headset within 30 days I believe

Q: Does it come with a pc aux

A: no, but works fine with splitter

Q: If I put the mike back in will it mute

A: No that's why there is a mute button right next to the volume wheel.

Q: does it work for PC?

A: I’m pretty sure it’s all platforms

Q: Does it work for an Xbox S?

A: I'm not sure why it wouldnt. Works exactly the same for every console with a controller with a 3.5mm jack
