Caveats
- Set the dongle switch to Xbox on an Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One, and to USB on a PC or PlayStation.
- SoundGuys measured 42 h 10 min on the dongle, short of the 60 h headline.
- There is no 3.5 mm input, so a flat battery cannot be bridged with a cable.
- PlayStation does not support ChatMix (SteelSeries).
