Competitive 2.4 GHz Wireless Gaming Headset

The AOC Captain 300 is a new over-ear headset built for competitive gamers on PS5, PS4, PC and Switch. It connects through a low-latency 2.4 GHz USB dongle and also offers Bluetooth 6.0 for mobile devices. A 3.5 mm cable is included for wired use on Xbox controllers. The closed earcups weigh 360 grams and use 50 mm drivers tuned for footsteps, reloads and dialogue in FPS and action titles.

20 ms Latency 2.4 GHz Connection Decides Platform

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 2.4 GHz wireless link rated at 20 ms latency. This dongle delivers lossless audio and microphone support on PS5, PS4, PC and Switch. Bluetooth mode does not work for game audio on PS5. Xbox consoles do not support the wireless or Bluetooth connection at all; only the 3.5 mm cable functions there. Switch microphone support varies by game and system limitations.

Detachable Mic and Simple Dongle Setup

Installation is straightforward: plug the USB dongle into the console or PC, power on the headset and select it as the output and input device. The detachable omni-directional microphone must be fully seated in its port and unmuted for voice chat. Common issues arise when the mic is loose, muted in software or the wrong input device is chosen. Charging takes three hours for up to 45 hours of battery life.

Questions about this item

What does the 20 ms latency mean when I am actually playing?

The 2.4 GHz link keeps audio within 20 ms of the game action so footsteps and gunshots stay in sync during competitive matches.

How does the 2.4 GHz connection and Bluetooth 6.0 differ in what they can do?

The USB dongle gives low-latency wireless audio and mic on PS5, PC and Switch; Bluetooth 6.0 is for music and calls on phones but adds too much delay for gaming.

What do I need on the headset itself to wear it or plug it in?

It weighs 360 g with over-ear pads, a detachable boom mic that clicks into the left cup, and a 3.5 mm jack for wired use when the battery runs out.
