Universal Wired Headset for Consoles and PC

The Nyko Core 80801 is a wired stereo gaming headset that connects through a single 3.5 mm jack. It works with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC and mobile devices. A USB plug powers the red LED lighting while the audio runs over the analogue connection. An audio splitter is included for separate headphone and microphone ports on desktop computers.

Who Benefits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Gamers wanting one headset for every platform with a 3.5 mm socket will find this model convenient. The retractable boom microphone folds away when not needed and an inline dial provides quick volume changes with a mute switch. Buyers who need wireless freedom or a purely USB digital audio connection cannot use this analogue design.

40 mm Drivers at 16 Ω Impedance

The 40 mm speaker units present a 16 ohm load, making them easy to drive from console controllers and mobile devices without an external amplifier. This impedance figure determines how loudly the headset plays from low-voltage sources and is the key specification to check against your device's output capability.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a USB cable for the red LEDs and an audio splitter for PC use?

The package lists only a user manual; the red LEDs need a USB connection and an audio splitter is included for PC use, so both cables come with the headset.

Should I choose the Core 80801 or the heavier NP5-5000 model listed in the comparison table?

The Core 80801 weighs 1.06 lb and uses a 3.5 mm wired connection, while the NP5-5000 is marked as heavyweight; pick the Core for lighter, universal console and PC use.

What does the 40 mm driver and 16 Ω impedance mean for everyday gaming sound?

The 40 mm drivers deliver stereo audio with deep bass, and the 16 Ω impedance lets the headset run loudly from any 3.5 mm jack on consoles, PC or mobile without extra amplification.
