Gaming Headset Devices
Wireless gaming headsets — USB-A 2.4GHz dongles, USB-C charging, 3.5mm aux, and on premium models, base stations with optical TOSLINK switching or HDMI 2.1 passthrough. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless and Astro A50 X Gen 2 lead the multi-input base-station category; ear-cup-only designs like the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro and HyperX Cloud III rely on USB-A dongles plus USB-C charging.

Razer’s 2023 refresh of its esports-favorite BlackShark V2 Pro pushes wireless battery life past 70 hours and adds Bluetooth 5.2 alongside the existing 2.4GHz HyperSpeed link, but it controversially drops the 3.5mm wired jack that the 2020 original offered.

-
Razer Kraken V4 Pro (2024)
The connectors that matter on Razer’s flagship live on its OLED Control Hub, not the earcups: the hub carries two USB-C source inputs plus a 3.5mm input and can keep up to three systems connected at once, switching between them on the fly.
