CHARGE IT
BEACN Headset charges over the same USB-C port it uses for audio. Give it
a full charge before your first long session. With BEACN Headset turned on,
a short press of the power button announces the battery level.
1
Plug the USB-C end of the USB cable into the USB-C port on BEACN Headset.
2
Plug the USB-A end of the USB cable into your computer or a USB charger.
3
With BEACN Headset off, check the status light above the power button. It flashes red while
charging and goes green when the battery is full.

CONNECT WITH THE WIRELESS DONGLE
The dongle and USB-C are the two main ways into your computer, and the
dongle is the one most people use. It's already paired to BEACN Headset,
so there's nothing to set up: plug it in and you're wireless.
1
Plug the dongle into a USB port on your computer. The extension cable and the adhesive holder
are handy if the port is hard to get at.
2
Hold the power button for three seconds, then let go.
3
Wait for "Wireless connected" in your ears to confirm that BEACN Headset has found the dongle.
4
If the status light is not purple, press the power button twice until it is.
REACH FOR THE DONGLE WHEN YOU WANT TO
Get up mid-session without unplugging anything
Keep one more cable off your desk

C
USB-C is the other main connection. The mic runs at its highest resolution
here, 24-bit at 48kHz or 96kHz, and BEACN Headset charges the whole
time you're plugged in. The status light shows white while you're on USB.
1
Plug the USB-C end of the USB cable into the USB-C port on BEACN Headset.
2
Plug the USB-A end of the USB cable into your computer.
3
In Windows, set Headphones (BEACN Headset) as your default playback device and set
Microphone (BEACN Headset) as your default recording device.
REACH FOR USB
-
C WHEN YOU WANT TO

CONNECT WITH BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth is for everything that isn't your main computer: your phone, a
tablet, a TV, or a media box like a Roku or an NVIDIA Shield. BEACN
Headset holds two Bluetooth connections at the same time, and a second
incoming call doesn't cut off the first.
1
Start with BEACN Headset powered off. Bluetooth pairing runs from off, not from on.
2
Hold the power button for five seconds to start pairing. The status light fast-flashes blue.
3
On your phone, open the Bluetooth settings and pick BEACN Headset from the list. On Windows
11 it also turns up as a Swift Pair notification while it is discoverable.
4
Wait for the connected prompt to confirm it is paired.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Bluetooth audio plays at the same time as your other sources. With the 3.5mm cable in, or with
USB connected, you hear both together.

CONNECT WITH THE
3.5
mm CABLE
The 3.5mm cable works with anything that has a headphone jack, and a
game controller is where most people use it. PlayStation takes the dongle
or a USB-C cable directly, and that's the better option there. Xbox takes
neither, so the 3.5mm cable into the controller is how you get mic and
audio both ways on Xbox.
Pressing the power button won't switch to the cable and won't switch away
from it - the cable just works whenever it's plugged in. All three controls
keep working while you listen this way.
1
Plug one end of the 3.5mm cable into the jack on BEACN Headset.
2
Plug the other end into the device you want to listen to.

UNLOCK MORE WITH THE BEACN APP
BEACN Headset works out of the box with no software at all. The BEACN
App is where you go for more: the full mic chain, headphone EQ, mic
monitor, and app-by-app mixing if you make content. It's a free download.
1
Head to beacn.com/pages/downloads and download the BEACN App for Windows. It needs
Windows 11, an Intel or AMD CPU, and a supported BEACN product.
2
Run the installer and follow the prompts.

STATUS LIGHTS
BEACN Headset has one status light: the small round indicator
above the power button.
Its colour tells you which source you're on.
It turns red when the battery gets low.
The two charge states below only show while BEACN Headset is off
AND plugged in. Off with nothing plugged in, the light stays dark.
Powered on, the light keeps showing the source you're on, even while it
charges.
The red light on the boom isn't a status light. It only shows when the
mic is muted.

BATTERY LIFE
Three ways to read the level:
In the BEACN App - open Settings for BEACN Headset and look for the
battery line. It reads "Battery: 60%", and picks up a "(charging)" on the
end while it's charging. The level moves in steps of ten.
On the headset - press the power button once and BEACN Headset
speaks the level.
In your ears - BEACN Headset warns you when the battery is low, warns
you again when it's critical, and shuts down after that.
On the status light - it turns red when the battery is low.

CHARGING
Plug the USB-C end of the USB cable into the USB-C port on BEACN
Headset and the USB-A end into your computer or a USB charger. BEACN
Headset charges from a 5 V DC supply, so any standard USB charger will
do.
You can keep using BEACN Headset while it charges.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Charge only when the ambient temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F). Charging
outside this range reduces battery life and may be unsafe.

Slide the arms out until the pads sit fully over your ears and the band rests
on top of your head without pressing. The arms are high-tension and hold
where you set them, so you should only have to do this once.
Then set the boom. Closer picks up more of your voice and less of your
room, so don't park it out by your cheek. Leave about the length of the USB
extension holder, or two fingers side by side, between the capsule and the
corner of your mouth.

SWAPPING THE EAR PADS
Two sets of gel-cooled pads ship in the box. Leatherette isolates more of
the room. Fabric feels more open. Swapping them takes no tools.
1
Hold the ear cup in one hand. Push down on the inside of the cup while you pull up on the sides
of the pad. Four clips built into the pad hold it to the cup, and lifting from the sides alone can
break them.
2
Line the new pad up with the cup and press it on the whole way round.
3
Press harder than you think you need to. You're listening for a solid click, which is all four clips
home.

REMOVING THE BOOM ARM
The boom comes off, and nothing else changes when it does. BEACN
Headset doesn't sense whether the boom is fitted, so mute state, audio
mode and the lights all stay exactly as they were.
1
Hold the left ear cup in one hand. The boom socket is on the same side as the controls.
2
Pull the boom straight out of its socket. A small key bump on the plug means it only goes back in
one way round, so line it up and push it home.

CLEANING
Wipe the pads, the band and the boom with a dry microfiber cloth. For
anything the cloth won't shift, dampen it very slightly with water and wring
it out first. Keep solvents, alcohol and cleaning sprays away from the pads -
they break down the coating on the leatherette.

STORAGE
Use the carry bag. It keeps the pads from picking up dust and the finish
from picking up scratches. Keep BEACN Headset out of extreme heat and
cold, and take it out of a hot car rather than leaving it there.
IMPORTANT NOTE
BEACN Headset is not rated for water resistance. Do not use it in rain or other wet conditions,
and do not expose it to liquids. Moisture ingress may damage the electronics and voids the
warranty.

Nothing you change in the BEACN App reaches BEACN Headset

1
The BEACN App reaches BEACN Headset over the dongle or over USB, and over nothing else - not
Bluetooth, not the 3.5mm cable. Press the power button twice until the status light is purple for
ULL Wireless, or white for USB. With USB and the dongle connected at the same time, USB takes
precedence and the light stays purple rather than turning white.
2
Open Settings and check that a serial number and a firmware version show for both BEACN
Headset and the dongle. "Not Connected" in those fields means the dongle can't see BEACN
Headset.
Windows shows a long list of BEACN devices and you don
'
t know which one to
pick
.
1
For listening, pick Headphones. For your mic, pick Microphone. Those two are the physical
hardware.
2
Leave anything labelled "(Do Not Use)" alone. Mic Relay (Do Not Use) and LDM Relay (Do Not
Use) are plumbing the BEACN App uses internally.
3
Assign the rest - Chat, Music, Game, Browser, System, Aux 1 and Aux 2 - to the applications you
want to control separately.

HEARING SAFETY
PROTECT YOUR HEARING
Listening at high volume levels through headphones can cause permanent
hearing damage. The risk increases with both the volume level and the
duration of exposure.
As a guide:
85dB(A) — safe for up to 8 hours per day (comparable to busy traffic
noise)
95dB(A) — safe for no more than 50 minutes per day
100dB(A) and above — can cause damage in 15 minutes or less
Signs that the volume is too high: you cannot hear people speaking to you
at a normal voice level, others nearby can hear audio from your
headphones, or you notice ringing or muffled hearing after use.
Start each listening session at a low volume and increase only as needed.
Take regular breaks. BEACN recommends using the in-app equaliser to
achieve the sound you want at the lowest volume that still satisfies you.

READ BEFORE USE
The BEACN Headset contains a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Follow these precautions to prevent fire, explosion, leakage, injury, or
damage to property.
Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, or short-circuit the battery. Do
not attempt to remove the battery from the headset. The battery is not
user-serviceable.
Do not expose to heat or fire. Keep the headset away from heat
sources, open flames, and direct sunlight for extended periods. Do not
store in a closed vehicle in high heat.
Do not expose to water or moisture. The headset is not waterproof.
Charge only with approved accessories. Use only the USB-C cable
supplied with the headset, or a USB charger that supplies 5 V and
complies with the USB specifications. The headset is rated for a 5 V DC
charging input. Using unapproved chargers may damage the battery or
cause fire.

Charge within the rated temperature range. Charge only when the
ambient temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113°F). Charging
outside this range reduces battery life and may be unsafe.
Do not leave charging unattended for extended periods. Disconnect
from the charger once fully charged if practical.
Stop using immediately if the battery swells, leaks, emits an unusual
odour, or becomes abnormally hot during use or charging. Place the
headset in a non-flammable location away from people and flammable
materials. Contact BEACN support at suppor[email protected].
If electrolyte leaks and contacts skin or eyes, flush immediately with
clean water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Do not dispose of in household waste. See disposal instructions in this
manual.
Do not transport the headset in checked baggage if the battery is
