Overview

Exceptional headphones with pure sound

Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding gamers, the Alienware AW988 headset is made of strong yet lightweight materials for durability and comfort. Its 40mm magnets combined with Alienware 7.1 Virtual Surround technology provide exceptional sound quality and the customisable RGB backlighting will delight the most creative gamers. With its improved noise-cancelling microphone, communicate with your teammates clearly while enjoying the freedom of 2.4GHz hybrid wired/wireless connectivity.

Superior sound quality

Immerse yourself in the action and never miss a sound effect with the AW988 headset, as its 40mm neodymium magnets provide excellent sound quality, with intense bass and an overall accurate soundstage. With the help of the Alienware 7.1 Virtual Surround system, you can even take full advantage of spatial sound - perfect for hearing where your enemies are coming from and gaining the upper hand. The headset's extensive range of features also includes a number of customisable profiles. This way, you can easily create different settings for your favourite games.

The microphone is unidirectional, expandable, noise-cancelling and provides excellent voice clarity, making communication with your gaming partners smoother than ever!

Freedom and comfort

Depending on your preferences, the AW988 headset lets you choose between classic wired operation (3.5mm audio port) or 2.4GHz wireless technology for more freedom. You won't be limited in this configuration, however, as with a battery life of 14 hours and a range of up to 12 metres, this headset has everything you need to accompany you during your longest gaming sessions.

Despite its large size, the headset is made of lightweight materials that allow for heavy use without any problems. As an added bonus, the soft ear cushions are made of a moisture-absorbing fabric. The left earcup has a number of quick access controls, such as volume control, so you can make adjustments on the fly without wasting time.
