A detachable wired option adds real practicality: reviewers like being able to fall back to 3.5mm analog (often via the included USB-C converter) for controllers, handhelds, or when you forget to charge. While wired USB audio support varies by platform, having an analog backup keeps the headset usable across more situations.
A detachable analog cable enables passive wired playback when the battery is drained or the headphones are off, which multiple travel-focused reviews highlight as a key advantage for flights and low-latency use. Some also note that passive mode loses ANC and active EQ features, so it’s best seen as a backup option.
A 3.5mm analog jack and included cable make it easy to go wired for controllers, handhelds, or low-latency listening, and some bundles include a notably long cable for desktop setups.
A detachable 3.5mm analog cable is included, enabling easy wired listening and quick cable replacement. This also provides a fallback when the battery is low, though best wired sound is generally reported when the headset is powered on.
The cable is detachable for wired backup listening, but the 2.5mm headphone-side connector makes replacements and adapters less convenient than standard 3.5mm-to-3.5mm cables.
