frequently asked questions
At AceZone, our goal is to deliver the ultimate gaming immersion, and for that reason we advise against using our A-Spire and A-Rise headsets wirelessly for intense competitive gaming. While our A-Spire and A-Rise models do offer Bluetooth capabilities, it will introduce latency and compromise speaker sound quality. When the microphone is active, bluetooth only offers mono speaker sound.
Instead, use the A-Spire Wireless headset with the newest true wireless technology.
AceZone headsets come with built-in advanced digital amplification, meaning the AUX connection doesn't provide a direct link to the speakers. This intricately designed system ensures that your gaming audio is optimized and uncompromized, providing you with unparalleled sound quality. Direct is technically feasible, the benefits might not align with the premium experience we've engineered into our headsets.
In order to uphold the exceptional performance standard we strive for with the A-Spire headset, the existing design doesn't provide an option to swap out the ear pads. However, this deliberate choice ensures that the ear pads are meticulously crafted from top-tier materials, guaranteeing both durability and prolonged usage.
For upkeep, we recommend gently cleaning the ear pads using a slightly damp cloth, while being cautious to avoid contact with the drivers or any of the headset's connection ports. This practice will help maintain the longevity and premium feel of your gaming experience.
The A-Spire Wireless features interchangeable ear pads.
Yes, the A-Spire Wireless gaming headset features interchangeable ear pads.
If you're not getting audio through your headset, don't worry – let's troubleshoot together. Here are a few common scenarios that might be causing the silence:
Loose Connections: Check if your headset's cables are securely plugged into both the headset and your device. Sometimes a simple reconnection can do the trick.
Audio Output Settings: Ensure your device's audio output settings are correctly configured to use your headset. You might need to manually select the headset as your audio output source.
Muted Sound: Double-check that your headset's volume isn't muted or set too low. This includes both the in-line controls on the headset and any software volume settings.
Software Updates: Make sure your device's operating system, drivers, and any associated gaming software are up to date. Outdated software can sometimes cause audio issues.
Broken Cables: Examine the cables for any visible damage. Sometimes, worn or damaged cables can lead to audio problems.
Audio Jack Issues: If you're using a wired headset, check the audio jack for any debris or dirt that might be affecting the connection.
Wireless Pairing: For wireless headsets, ensure that your headset is properly paired with your device via Dongle or Bluetooth, and that the connection is stable.
In-Game Settings: If the issue occurs while gaming, take a look at the in-game audio settings. It's possible that the game's settings are muting or redirecting the audio.
Try Another Device: To rule out headset issues, try connecting your headset to a different device. This can help determine if the problem is with the headset or the original device.
Remember, if you've tried these steps and you're still not getting audio, feel free to reach out to our dedicated customer support team. They're always here to assist you and get you back into the gaming groove!
If your microphone isn't picking up your voice, no worries – let's tackle this together. Here are a few common hiccups that might be silencing your mic:
Microphone Mute: Make sure your microphone isn't muted, either on the headset itself or in your device's audio settings.
App Permissions: For apps like voice chats or recording software, ensure that the microphone has been granted permission to access your device's microphone.
Audio Input Settings: Confirm that your device's audio input settings are properly configured to use your headset's microphone. You might need to manually select the headset as your microphone source.
Software Updates: Keep your device's operating system, audio drivers, and any relevant software up to date. Outdated software can occasionally cause microphone issues.
Physical Mic Check: Inspect the microphone on your headset for any debris or damage that could be blocking sound input.
Microphone Privacy Settings: Some operating systems have microphone privacy settings. Check if your microphone access is enabled.
App-Specific Issues: If the microphone works in some apps but not others, it could be app-specific settings causing the trouble.
Testing on Another Device: To rule out headset issues, try connecting your headset to a different device. This can help determine if the problem lies with the headset or the original device.
If these steps don't get your microphone back in action, don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated customer support. They're here to assist you and ensure you're heard loud and clear in your gaming adventures!

You are not delusional - your PC is not broken. This is an intended feature; the technical name is 'Sidetone'.
When your ears are blocked (wearing a headset) your own voice perception changes drastically. This makes you change the level of your voice; and the change is very different from user to user. Some start to whisper [the mic has a hard time picking up speech], others start shouting [the neighbours will complain].
Sidetone is applied to aid your own voice perception and thereby help you speak at the right level.
On the A-Spire Wireless it's possible to disable sidetone in the mobile app.
A-Live is an event business model designed for large esports organizers and game publishers. It comes without buttons, making it ideal for plug-and-play. It also features an Admin Detection System with illuminated nodes for headset status indication. The A-Rise is made very similar to the A-Live and the perfect choice for professional or serious gamers.
