Philips A88 7.1 gaming headset

The Philips A88 is a wired on-ear headset with a 3.5 mm connector and 7.1 virtual surround sound. It is built for gamers who want a single headset that works across PC, consoles and mobile devices without extra software.

Passive noise isolation and lightweight comfort

Weighing 280 g, the headset uses a double-layer hand-woven headband and protein leather earcups to spread pressure evenly. Passive noise cancelling blocks ambient sound while the 80 ohm impedance keeps power draw low on any controller or laptop port.

Detachable microphone and inline controls

A 120° flexible boom mic with 42 dB sensitivity and 42 dB signal-to-noise ratio captures voice clearly and mutes when flipped up. Braided cable with inline volume wheel and touch panel lets you adjust levels without leaving the game.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 3.5 mm plug to an Xbox Series X/S controller that lacks a headset jack?

The headset uses a single 3.5 mm four-pole connector. On older Xbox One controllers you need the official stereo headset adapter; newer Series X/S pads have the jack built in, so just plug the cable straight in.

Which part of the microphone will wear out first and need replacement?

The flexible 120° boom arm is the only moving part on the mic. Repeated bending can fatigue the internal wires, so if audio becomes intermittent the boom is the component to check or replace.

What limits comfort during marathon sessions with the 280 g on-ear design?

The on-ear cups press against the ears rather than enclosing them, so clamping force and heat build-up become noticeable before the 280 g weight does, especially after two to three hours of continuous wear.
