Removable microphone and audio cable

Both the microphone and the audio cable are removable. This reduces the chances of breakage and allows the replacement of these parts in case of defect. Remove both by gently pulling the plug. To avoid breakage, do not pull the wire.

Windows is using the wrong microphone when other devices are installed

When the microphone is not working, make sure that the microphone is set as the default device for sound input and output in the Sound Settings.


Open Sound settings and set the headset as the default device, for both input and output in the sound settings as shown in the images below.

(If you are unsure how to open Sound settings, you can check on the Microsoft site for more instructions)

The headset is ready to use.
