FAQS

CAN I USE WITH ANY BLUETOOTH HEADSET?

No, PLYR Wireless Transmitter is designed specifically for the PLYR headset.

CAN I ACCESS SKULL-HQ SOFTWARE USING PLYR WIRELESS TRANSMITTER?

Yes, PLYR wireless transmitter connected to your PC will give you full access to Skull-HQ features.

**CAN I USE THE PLYR WIRELESS TRANSMITTER TO DUAL-CONNECT TO PC OR

CONSOLE AND MOBILE DEVICE VIA BLUETOOTH AT THE SAME TIME?**

Yes, this is Dual-Connect, and means you can connect your PLYR wireless transmitter to your PC, or console and simultaneously connect to any Bluetooth enabled mobile device. However, you can only receive one audio source at a time and not simultaneously. Your PLYR will auto switch between the wireless transmitter connection and mobile connections. When your PLYR is using the wireless transmitter connection during gaming, it is in HFP standby mode for mobile device. When a phone call is received coming and user is talking by phone, it will be suspended for 2.4G dongle.

WHAT IS THE LATENCY AND AUDIO QUALITY SPECIFICATION?

PLYR wireless transmitter has a ultra-low latency rating of 20ms and audio quality 48KHz/16bits/256kbps

WHY IS LOW LATENCY AUDIO IMPORTANT IN GAMING?

A rate from 20 to 100ms can be an acceptable latency for most gaming, and really won’t affect. Anything from 100-150ms can be workable but will be noticeable. If your gaming audio lagged in the past, it’s probably because you were operating over 150ms. Anything over 150ms is going to be noticeably frustrating. Most First Person Shooter (FPS) games require instant feedback for shooters. In order for you to be effective and for these games to function well, there needs to be around 30ms or less of latency. Other games may be able to function well at around 50ms, but the FPS genre is very demanding.

**WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR CONNECTING TO THE SKULLCANDY MOBILE APP AND

WHAT LIMITATIONS EXIST WHEN THE DONGLE IS CONNECTED?**

For mobile app connection, dongle must be unplugged. While the dongle is unplugged, the Skullcandy Mobile app can be used in tandem with Aux connection
