Recommendations

For competitive advantage, enable X-Ray Hearing or game-specific presets in the companion app to emphasise footsteps and in-game cues. Keep one EQ profile tuned for 2.4G gameplay and a second for Bluetooth media to preserve optimal sound across devices. Charge the headset periodically during long gaming weeks to maintain the listed battery life.
