It covers the basics stereo game audio, a flip-style boom mic for party chat, and an in-line remote, without the price or complexity of a wireless setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've just picked up a console and want a usable headset out of the box, or you need a second pair for a sibling or a guest controller, the Instinct fits that brief. It works with the DualSense, the Xbox Series X\/S controller, the Switch (handheld or via Pro Controller), and any 3.5mm-equipped PC or mobile device.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the black variant - same hardware as the black version, different colourway. Audio quality and mic performance are tuned for clear in-game communication and casual play rather than competitive esports tournaments or studio-grade music listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003ePS5 DualSense (all revisions): yes - via 3.5mm jack on the controller\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eXbox Series X \/ Series S controllers: yes - via 3.5mm jack on the controller\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eXbox One controllers (with 3.5mm port - most post-2015 revisions): yes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eNintendo Switch (handheld) \/ Switch OLED \/ Switch Lite: yes - via the console's 3.5mm jack\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eNintendo Switch Pro Controller: no - Pro Controller has no audio jack; use the console jack instead\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003ePC, Mac and mobile with a 3.5mm combo (CTIA) jack: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003ePC with separate mic \/ headphone jacks: needs a splitter (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eCondition: New (Aftermarket)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eBrand-new KMD branded wired headset, sealed retail packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorth it if\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eYou want a no-fuss wired headset that just plugs into the controller jack\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eYou're after a budget-tier headset for casual play, family use or a spare\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eYou'd rather avoid wireless pairing, dongles and battery management\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProbably not for you if\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eYou're after audiophile-grade or competitive-tier audio, this is an entry-level set, not a premium tournament headset\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eYou want wireless freedom from the controller, this one is wired only by design\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eYour controller has no 3.5mm jack (e.g., a Switch Pro Controller used away from the console)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eBrand: KMD\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eColour: White\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eConnection: 3.5mm 4-pole combo jack (CTIA)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eDriver size: 40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eMicrophone: flexible boom, omnidirectional\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eCable length: approximately 6 feet, braided\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eEAN: 849172014848\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this work with PS5 chat without any extra setup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA: Yes.
