HG04 Wireless Gaming Headset

The NU HG04 is a lightweight over-ear headset built for gamers who want cable-free play on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, Mac and laptops. It weighs 270g and uses 40mm drivers to deliver 7.1 surround sound with three selectable EQ modes for games, music or movies. A 2.4GHz USB-C dongle provides a low-latency link rated at 20ms, while Bluetooth 5.3 keeps a simultaneous connection to a phone for calls and notifications. The battery runs for up to 80 hours on a 2.5-hour charge and the set folds flat for travel.

Ideal for Multi-Platform Gamers

This headset suits players who switch between console and PC and still want to hear phone alerts without dropping game audio. The detachable microphone handles team chat and the 3.5mm jack adds wired compatibility with Xbox and Switch. Buyers who need active noise cancellation or the ability to play while the headset is charging should look at something else, as neither feature is supported.

2.4GHz Dongle Plus Bluetooth 5.3

The deciding specification is the dual wireless architecture: a dedicated 2.4GHz USB-C dongle for low-latency gaming audio and a concurrent Bluetooth 5.3 link for mobile devices. If your setup requires only a single wireless connection or relies solely on wired 3.5mm, the extra versatility of this dual-channel design may be unnecessary.

Questions about this item

What devices accept the 2.4 GHz USB-C dongle that comes with the NU HG04?

The 2.4 GHz USB-C dongle works with PC, PS5 and PS4 for wireless audio.

How do I pair the headset to the 2.4 GHz dongle and to Bluetooth 5.3, and which step is often missed?

Plug the dongle in, power the headset on, then hold the Bluetooth button to enter pairing mode; the step often missed is putting the headset into Bluetooth pairing separately after the dongle is active.

The memory-foam ear pads and the built-in rechargeable battery are the components that wear out over time.
