Do I need a dongle for the low-latency mode?

No. The charging case is the 2.4 GHz transmitter. Plug the case into your PC, phone, tablet, PS5 or Steam Deck and the earbuds connect to it.

Does it work with a Nintendo Switch?

Razer lists Steam Deck and PS5 for the 2.4 GHz mode. The Switch is not named, so treat Bluetooth 5.3 as the safer route there.

How long does the battery last?

Razer rates up to 10 hours on the earbuds and 25 more from the case. USB-C passthrough lets you keep playing while the case charges.

Is THX Spatial Audio available on every device?

No. It runs through Razer Synapse on Windows 11 version 23H2 or newer, so it is a PC feature rather than a console or phone one.

Can I use them for workouts?

The IPX4 rating covers sweat and light rain, so gym and commute use is fine. They are not built for swimming or heavy water exposure.

Do they have noise cancellation?

No. There is no ANC, so isolation depends on the ear tip fit.
