Parts and Controls

The headset diagram identifies eight components.  

Technical Specifications

The Alpha Gaming headset specifications listed in the manual are shown below.  

Gaming Headset Setup

The headset uses separate connections for normal audio and microphone operation, while the USB connector is used only for the RGB LED display.  

1. Connect the Headset to the Audio Source

The headset should first be connected to the intended source, such as:

• A computer.
• A compatible gaming console.
• Another supported audio device.

The included 3.5 mm male-to-female Y-splitter cable adapter should be used when the connected device requires it.

2. Connect USB Power for the RGB Lighting

The USB connector can be plugged into any available USB port.

This connection is optional. Its purpose is only to activate the headset’s LED display.

The manual specifically states that the USB connection does not affect the headset’s overall audio or microphone operation.  

3. Adjust the Audio Settings

After the physical connections are made, the headset is ready for use.

On a computer, the system’s sound settings can be opened to adjust the headset configuration.

Some gaming consoles require audio to be routed to the headset through the console’s main audio settings. In those cases, the console’s own instructions should be followed for the required audio-routing procedure.  

Connecting the Headset to a Computer

For computer use:

1. Connect the headset’s audio plug to the appropriate audio connection.
2. Connect the microphone plug to the appropriate microphone connection.
3. Use the included Y-splitter adapter if the computer requires a combined headset connection.
4. Connect the USB plug to an available USB port if the RGB LED display is required.
5. Open the computer’s sound settings.
6. Adjust the headset output and microphone input settings as needed.

Because USB power is dedicated to the LEDs, normal headset audio does not depend on the USB connection.

Audio and Microphone Connections

The headset uses two 3.5 mm AUX connections as part of its interface.

Audio Plug

The audio plug carries sound from the connected computer, console, or other compatible source to the headset speakers.

Microphone Plug

The microphone plug provides the headset’s voice-input connection.

Y-Splitter Cable Adapter

The included 3.5 mm male-to-female Y-splitter cable adapter can be used when the source device requires a different headset connection arrangement.

The manual instructs users to use the adapter when necessary rather than treating it as a required component for every setup.  

RGB LED Display

The headset includes an RGB LED display built into the earcup area.

The LED system operates separately from the headset’s audio functions.

To activate the LEDs:

1. Complete the required audio and microphone connections.
2. Insert the USB connector into an available USB port.
3. The USB connection supplies power to the LED display.

The LED system operates at 3V with a listed working current of 20 mA.  

Volume Control

The headset includes a built-in volume knob.

This control is identified in the product diagram and allows listening volume to be adjusted directly from the headset.  

Microphone

The Alpha Gaming headset uses a flexible microphone for voice communication.

Its documented specifications are:

The microphone is listed as a high-sensitivity flexible microphone and connects through the headset’s dedicated microphone plug.  

Speaker and Audio Specifications

The headset uses 40 mm speakers.

The documented audio specifications include:

• 32 Ω ±15% impedance.
• 100 dB ±5 dB sensitivity.
• 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz frequency range.

Gaming Console Setup

Xbox One Controller Compatibility

The headset works with Xbox One controllers that have a 3.5 mm headset jack.

Xbox One controllers without that connection require the Headset Audio Controller, which is sold separately.  

Cleaning and Care

The gaming headset should be cleaned using a soft, dry cloth.

Abrasive cleaning agents and chemical cleaners should not be used because they may damage the headset.  

Recommended Cleaning Method

1. Disconnect the headset from the connected equipment before handling it for cleaning.
2. Wipe the external headset surfaces with a soft, dry cloth.
3. Avoid abrasive cleaning products and chemical cleaners.

The manual does not prescribe liquid cleaning or washing, so the documented dry-cloth method should be followed.
