Iconic by design
Customize your lighting: 16.8M RGB lighting with two zones and AlienFX allow personalized in-game lighting and looks, so your games and accessories reflect your style. Program effects, colors, brightness, tempo and custom animations on over 150 supported games. You also have the ability to create and download unique themes.
Mindfully made: We designed our gaming headset both strong and lightweight with ultra-premium materials for maximum comfort and stylish wearability. With a well-made headband, comfortable ear cushions with moisture-wicking fabric and easy-access controls, you can game for hours and look good doing it.
Take sound seriously
Don’t miss a beat: Your headphones take you deep into the game with sophisticated sound technology. Expect polished, professional in-game sounds with Alienware 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound and a clear, broad acoustic signature. Hi-fidelity 40mm neodymium drivers round out the deep, rich bass and expansive soundscape for an unparalleled gaming experience.
Amplify the action: Multiplayer games demand crystal-clear communication. Make sure your entire team hears every directive and every battle cry with the enhanced, uni-directional, noise-canceling mic with natural voice communication.
MASTER YOUR CONTROLS
Tailor your sound settings in either the Alienware Command Center or the Headset Center to enhance gaming, music and movies. Then adjust on the fly with a click of the audio preset button on the headset’s left ear cup.
Alienware Command Center: Create profiles and tweak settings within the Command Center’s Sound Center. Program specific game genres for more dynamic cues. Change focus from team chats to gameplay with the volume mixer. And count on audio prompts to deliver notifications on connections, mic status and battery levels. Available on the new Alienware 15 and 17 laptops or the new Alienware Area-51 desktop.
Headset Center: Select from preset EQ profiles or create your own. Adjust audio effects like bass boost, reverb, and volume. Customize your mic settings, including leveler, noise cancellation and voice-shaper. And enable audio recon in specific games to localize sound through a custom overlay and indicator. Available on the Alienware Aurora desktop or non-Alienware systems.
