Cosmic Byte Proteus RGB Gaming Headset Black

Cosmic Byte Proteus RGB Gaming Headset Black

Dual-Input Connectivity: Never worry about compatibility again. The Proteus headset features an innovative dual-cable system. You can plug it into your desktop computer using the USB connector to access advanced software features and power the RGB lighting. Alternatively, if you want to play on your PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or mobile device, simply use the standard 3.5mm analog audio jack. This cross-platform flexibility makes it the only headset you need for all your gaming devices.

7.1 Virtual Surround Sound: Pinpoint your enemies before you even see them. When connected to a Windows PC via USB, the Proteus utilizes advanced 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound technology. This creates a highly realistic, three-dimensional audio environment, allowing you to accurately hear the direction of approaching footsteps, distant gunfire, and subtle environmental cues. This spatial awareness provides a massive tactical advantage in highly competitive, fast-paced shooter games.

Detachable ENC Microphone: Clear communication is vital for team-based multiplayer games. This headset includes a premium, uni-directional boom microphone equipped with Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) technology. This smart microphone focuses directly on your voice while aggressively filtering out background noises like clicking keyboards, whirring desktop fans, or background chatter. Furthermore, the microphone is completely detachable, allowing you to easily remove it when you are just listening to music or playing a solo game.

Uncompromising Comfort: Heavy, clamping headsets can ruin a gaming session. Weighing in at an incredibly light 280 grams (without the cable), the Proteus is designed to prevent neck fatigue during marathon gaming runs. It features an innovative auto-adjusting headband that conforms perfectly to the shape of your head without requiring manual clicking adjustments. Paired with plush, high-grade memory foam ear cushions wrapped in soft protein leather, it provides a breathable, incredibly comfortable fit for hours on end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the 7.1 Surround Sound work on my PlayStation 5 or Xbox? No. The 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound is a software-driven feature that only works when the headset is plugged into a Windows PC via the USB connection. When you plug the headset into a console controller using the 3.5mm audio jack, the headset will output high-quality, standard stereo sound.

How do I turn on the RGB lights if I am using the 3.5mm jack on my console? The RGB lighting requires power that a standard 3.5mm audio jack cannot provide. To illuminate the headset while playing on a console, you must plug the 3.5mm jack into your controller for audio, and simultaneously plug the USB cable into a USB power source (like the front of the console itself or a standard wall charger) to power the lights.

Can I use this headset for work video calls? Absolutely. The Environmental Noise Cancelling (ENC) microphone is fantastic for daily video calls, as it will block out the noise of your household and ensure your coworkers hear your voice cleanly.
