Wired headset with 3.5 mm jack
The Altec Lansing ALGH9602 is a wired gaming headset built around a 3.5 mm stereo connector. It uses 50 mm drivers rated at 21 Ω impedance and 112 dB sensitivity for direct connection to controllers or PC audio ports. The flexible boom microphone measures 6.0 mm by 2.7 mm with a sensitivity of -42 dB and 2.2 kΩ impedance. RGB backlighting runs from the USB power feed included on the cable.
50 mm drivers and 112 dB sensitivity
The 50 mm drivers deliver a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 112 dB sensitivity, providing ample volume headroom for competitive shooters and immersive single-player titles. The 21 Ω load is easily driven by standard controller jacks or onboard audio without a dedicated amplifier. The microphone captures clear voice chat at -42 dB sensitivity but lacks active noise-cancelling circuitry, so very loud environments may bleed into comms.
USB-powered RGB on a 3.5 mm analogue chain
A single 3.5 mm plug carries all audio while a parallel USB connector powers the RGB lighting only; no software driver is required for basic stereo operation. The adjustable headband and dual earpieces suit extended sessions, and the inline volume control lets you adjust levels without leaving the game. Builds without a free USB port lose the lighting but retain full audio and microphone function.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.5 mm connector work with my older controller that only has a single audio port?
Yes, the 3.5 mm stereo jack carries both audio and microphone signals through one port, so it plugs directly into older controllers or laptops with a combined headset socket.
How can I confirm the 50 mm drivers are delivering the rated 112 dB output after I plug it in?
Play a familiar track at maximum system volume; the high sensitivity means loud, clear sound should arrive well before the slider reaches the top, confirming the drivers are performing to spec.
Does the box include a USB adapter for the RGB lighting or must I buy one separately?
The headset draws RGB power from the USB plug on its cable, so no extra adapter is needed; everything required for audio, microphone and lighting is attached.
