IMYB Gaming Headsets
Gaming headsets for PC and console
An IMYB gaming headset plugs into a socket your console or PC already has. The A36 sends game sound and voice down one 3.5mm cable, so nothing charges and nothing pairs. The W82 adds 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.4 for people who bounce between a desk, a Switch and a phone. Then there is the V1, which is the odd one out: a small wired on-ear pair for children with its maximum volume fixed at 85 dB in the factory.

- 50mm drivers on both gaming models
The IMYB Range
A36 Wired Gaming Headset
One 3.5mm plug carries game sound and your voice, so a controller, a laptop or a Switch all work without setup. Each cup holds a 50mm driver rated at 32 ohms. The volume wheel and the mute switch sit on the cable itself, partway down its 6.5 ft of braid. A second plug goes to USB and feeds the RGB ring, nothing else.

W82 3-in-1 Wireless Gaming Headset
Three ways to connect, and the machine decides which one. The 2.4GHz receiver handles PC and PlayStation play at a rated 20 ms or less. Bluetooth 5.4 covers phones and tablets. Xbox takes the cable. Battery runs 35 to 40 hours with the lighting off, 15 to 20 with it on, and the boom mic pulls off when the game ends.

V1 Kids Headphones, 85 dB
The 85 dB ceiling is set at the factory and no switch gets past it. A pair weighs 5.6 oz, folds inward for a backpack, and takes the same 3.5mm cable a school Chromebook already expects. The 40mm drivers keep speech clear through lesson videos. Nothing charges, so these never die halfway through a car trip.

Which IMYB Headset Fits
Take the A36
A cable takes pairing, battery level and wireless range off the list of things that can go wrong mid-match. At a desk or on a couch within reach of the console, that settles most of the argument.
- One machine, and the cable is not in your way
- A 3.5mm headset jack is already on the controller or laptop
- Charging is one more thing you would rather not track
- RGB matters and a spare USB port sits nearby
Take the W82
One headset covering four machines beats the cheapest option in a house that runs a PC, a Switch and a couple of phones. Read the Xbox line before ordering, because it is the exception.
- You move between PC, PlayStation, Switch and a phone
- Low-latency 2.4GHz is worth the extra over Bluetooth
- 35 to 40 hours between charges fits how you play
- The mic should come off when the session ends
Take the V1
A child will use these for lessons, car trips and tablet videos, and what you actually want is a hard ceiling on how loud they get. The rest of the V1 follows from that one decision.
- The wearer is roughly 2 to 12 years old
- 85 dB maximum, locked, with no bypass switch
- School devices with a 3.5mm jack are the main use
- It has to survive a backpack and a dropped tablet
Four Things That Decide a Headset
The port decides, not the price
Compatibility comes down to one question: what socket does the device actually have? The A36 and the V1 need an analog 3.5mm headset jack. The W82 brings its own USB or USB-C receiver for 2.4GHz and uses Bluetooth for everything else. A phone without a headphone jack needs an audio adapter, and a charge-only adapter will not pass sound.
Teammates judge the mic
Position does more for voice chat than any number printed on the box. Both gaming models use an omnidirectional pickup, meaning it takes in sound from every direction, so moving the boom to the corner of your mouth rather than straight in front of it keeps breath out of the signal. Set the input level at the console afterward so normal speech does not clip.
Over-ear for sessions, on-ear for kids
A36 and W82 cushions surround the ear and rest against the side of the head, spreading roughly 0.77 lb along the headband and blocking some room noise by shape alone. The V1 sits on the ear instead. A 5.6 oz on-ear pair fits a small head that an adult-sized cup would swallow whole.
No app, no account
Every routine control here is a physical one. Volume and mute live on the A36 cable, mode and lighting are buttons on the W82 cup, and the V1 has nothing to press at all. No companion app has to be installed and no firmware step stands between the box and the first game.
What Works With What
| Device | A36 | W82 |
|---|---|---|
| Windows PC | 3.5mm, splitter if two jacks | 2.4GHz USB, Bluetooth or wired |
| Mac | 3.5mm on models that have it | Bluetooth or wired |
| PlayStation 5 | 3.5mm into the controller | 2.4GHz USB or wired |
| PlayStation 4 | 3.5mm into the controller | 2.4GHz USB or wired |
| Xbox Series X/S | 3.5mm into the controller | Wired only |
| Older Xbox One controller | Adapter may be needed | Adapter may be needed |
| Nintendo Switch | 3.5mm | 2.4GHz USB-C or wired |
| Phone or tablet | 3.5mm, adapter if no jack | Bluetooth, USB-C receiver or wired |
- Xbox does not support the W82 over 2.4GHz. Plug in the audio cable and it works on an Xbox controller like any wired headset. This is the single most common mismatch on wireless gaming headsets, and it is worth checking before the order goes in.
- The USB plug on the A36 powers the RGB ring and carries no audio. Connect only the 3.5mm plug and you get sound and mic with the lights off. Connect only USB and you get lights with silence.
- Desktop towers often split headphones and microphone into two separate sockets. The 1-to-2 splitter packed with the A36 covers that case.
- A phone or laptop with no headphone jack needs a USB-C or Lightning audio adapter. Check that the adapter actually passes audio, because a charge-only one will not.

Most of the appeal is in what the A36 leaves out. No battery, no pairing menu, no receiver to lose behind a desk. The 50mm cone gives the bass-forward tuning gaming headsets usually aim for, and ordinary stereo still tells you which side a footstep came from, though how clearly depends far more on the game than on the hardware.
W82
3-in-1 wireless gaming headset
- Drivers
- 50mm dynamic
- Frequency
- 20 Hz to 20 kHz
- Connections
- 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.4, 3.5mm wired
- Latency
- 20 ms or less on 2.4GHz

- Battery
- 35 to 40 h lights off, 15 to 20 h lights on
- Charging
- USB-C, 5V/1A, about 4 h
- Microphone
- Detachable, omnidirectional
Double-click the mode button and the side lighting switches off, which is where the extra twenty hours come from. Charging deserves attention: the manual rates the input at 5V/1A and warns against any charger pushing more current, so the fast brick from a phone is the wrong one to grab. A voice prompt repeats as the battery runs down before the headset powers itself off.

Fit matters more here than any line in the table. Size the headband before it goes on the child rather than after, then check that both cups cover the ears evenly without the band pinching. The frame folds inward and gets compact, not flat, so it drops into a school bag but will not lie completely flush against a laptop.
- Driver diameter describes how wide the moving cone is and nothing else. Tuning, the seal around your ears, the source device and the game mix all shift the sound further than 40mm against 50mm ever does.
- Microphone noise reduction and active noise cancellation solve opposite problems. Noise reduction cleans up what your teammates hear. Active noise cancellation, usually written ANC, quiets what you hear, and none of these models have it. Over-ear cushions block some room noise by shape alone, which is a long way from silence.
- An 85 dB cap is a ceiling rather than a target. Hearing damage depends on loudness and on how long it lasts, and WHO safe-listening guidance for children works from a much lower reference, near 75 dB across 40 hours a week. Set the tablet quieter than it will go and build breaks into long sessions.
What Owners Say
This thing has been a beast. After over 3.5 years of regular use (not the most gentle either) it works just like it did on day one! The audio quality is honesty really good, way better than most budget headphones I've tried. The cord comes with a splitter with was a lifesaver for me (I used to have an old pc with separate audio input/output ports) and it's made it really easy now to isolate mic tracks in OBS now. They fit really well, which is something that surprised me, because I have large ears that most headphones don't fit quite right, but these are so comfy to wear, and the RGB lights are always appreciated! Genuinely a super great buy, when mine eventually do break (however long that takes), I'll be buying this again. I seriously love it so much!
Paul Poore
Very sturdy headset, good sound quality. Durable cord. Have had this headset for over a month now and have dropped my set several times and do not see any signs of cracking or poor quality materials. The LED lighting is cool touch. Great headset for the cost.
J.
bought for a friend for christmas so she could play with her boyfriend & his friends. quality is good for the price. too bad i wasted my money on it since they never bothered to use it once. I used it to tested the quality before gifting it (didn't want it to be a bad product for her) and overall it's a good beginner headset if you don't want to drop an arm and a leg on one.
Kodi
These headphones are adorable and perfect for kids. The pretty colors and fun design make them especially appealing to girls, and my child loves wearing them. They are lightweight and comfortable, with soft ear cushions that make them easy to wear for longer periods. The sound is clear and works great for listening to music, watching videos, or using a tablet. I also like that they have a simple wired connection, so there's no need to worry about charging or pairing. Overall, these are cute, comfortable, and practical headphones for kids. A great choice for everyday use, travel, or school!
Mayra Duran
These headphones are an excellent choice for school use. The 85 dB volume limit helps protect children's hearing while still providing clear, high-quality sound. They are lightweight, comfortable for extended wear, and the adjustable headband fits kids well. The wired connection is reliable and easy to use with tablets, laptops, and other classroom devices. The fun colors are a bonus, and the build quality feels durable enough for everyday use. Highly recommended for school and learning!
Elennis Gonzalez
Bought these for my child and they have been working perfectly. The purple color is really pretty and the padding on the ears is soft enough for long car rides. I love that the volume is automatically limited so I don't have to worry about hurting their ears. The wire feels sturdy, which is great because kids can be rough on cords. Just keep in mind they don't fold up completely flat, but they still fit fine in a backpack.

Getting Set Up
- 1
A36: one plug for sound, one for light
The 3.5mm plug goes into the controller, laptop or Switch. On a tower with separate headphone and mic sockets, run it through the supplied 1-to-2 splitter first. USB is optional and only feeds the RGB.
- 2
A36: set the cable controls before the match
Slide the mute switch open, roll the volume wheel to about halfway, then swing the boom down to the corner of your mouth. Trim the input level in the game or console audio settings once you can hear yourself back.
- 3
W82: charge it, then pick a mode
Hold the power button roughly three seconds to switch on. A single press of the mode button moves between Bluetooth and 2.4GHz. Plug the USB receiver into a PC or PlayStation, or the Type-C receiver into a Switch, and the link establishes itself.
- 4
W82: pairing, and the Xbox exception
In Bluetooth mode the headset appears as IMYB-W82. Holding the mode button for eight seconds clears stored pairings when a phone refuses to reconnect. On Xbox, skip both wireless modes and use the audio cable.
- 5
V1: size the band before it goes on
Extend the headband to roughly the right length, place it, then adjust. Both cups should cover the ears evenly and the band should hold position without squeezing.
- 6
V1: start quiet and work up
Set the tablet or laptop volume low, start playback, then raise it only until speech is clearly audible. The 85 dB limit caps the top end. It does not pick a sensible level for you.
Pull the plug, not the cord. Yanking a 3.5mm cable sideways is what kills the connector, and it damages the jack on the tablet just as easily as the one on the headphones.
Clean the headband and cushions with a dry or barely damp cloth. Keep liquid away from the drivers, the microphone opening and the USB-C port, and skip solvents entirely.
The W82 manual specifies storage and use between 0°C and 45°C. Keep pocket lint out of the charging port, and stay at or under 1 A of charging current.
Take the headset off now and then during a long session. Heat builds under the cushions, and a few minutes without them does more for comfort than any amount of headband fiddling.
About IMYB
IMYB makes headphones for two jobs that barely overlap. One is gaming on a PC or a console. The other is listening at school. Recognizable connections carry the gaming side, with 3.5mm on the A36 and a mix of 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and cable on the W82, and the school side comes down to a single model, the V1, built around a fixed 85 dB output.
Physical controls run through the whole range. Volume and mute sit on the A36 cable. Mode, lighting and mic muting are buttons on the W82 cup. Nothing depends on an app being installed or an account being created, which is a deliberate choice rather than a missing feature.
Public certification records name Shenzhen Huamingze Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. as the FCC applicant for the W82, filed under that model number in 2025. Those filings cover the wireless side of the tri-mode headset.
The model number carries the meaning here, not the color. A36 means wired gaming. W82 means three connection modes in one over-ear shell. V1 means a light wired pair for children with the volume ceiling already built in. Two headsets in different finishes are the same headset.
Frequently Asked Questions
IMYB is an audio brand focused on practical headphones for gaming, school, travel, and everyday listening. Its current lineup includes wired gaming headsets, multi-mode wireless gaming headsets, and volume-limited headphones for children.
IMYB offers gaming headsets for PC and consoles as well as wired headphones for younger users. The A36 is a wired gaming headset, the W82 supports wireless and wired gaming connections, and the V1 is a lightweight kids headphone with an 85 dB maximum volume limit.
The A36 is the better choice for a simple wired setup, especially when a 3.5mm connection is already available on the controller or computer. The W82 is better suited to users who want 2.4GHz wireless gaming, Bluetooth, and a 3.5mm wired option in one headset.
Yes. The A36 can connect to PS5 and PS4 through the 3.5mm headset jack on a compatible controller. Its separate USB connection powers the RGB lighting and is not required for normal game audio or microphone use.
Yes. The A36 works with Xbox Series X/S and compatible Xbox One controllers through a 3.5mm headset connection. Some older Xbox One controllers without a built-in 3.5mm port require a separate headset adapter.
No. Xbox consoles do not support the W82 2.4GHz wireless connection. Use the included 3.5mm audio cable with a compatible Xbox controller instead. The W82 can use 2.4GHz wireless with supported PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch setups.
The W82 supports 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.4, and 3.5mm wired audio. The 2.4GHz mode is intended for low-latency gaming, Bluetooth is useful for phones and other general audio devices, and the wired connection provides compatibility with devices such as Xbox controllers.
The W82 is rated for approximately 35 to 40 hours of use with RGB lighting turned off. Battery life drops to about 15 to 20 hours with the lighting enabled. A full recharge takes approximately four hours under the specified charging conditions.
No. The A36 should not be treated as an ANC headset. Its over-ear cushions provide passive noise isolation, and the microphone is designed to reduce some unwanted background noise during voice communication. Active noise cancellation uses separate electronic processing to reduce ambient sound reaching the listener.
The current IMYB V1 version uses a factory-set 85 dB maximum output limit. There is no switch that allows a child to bypass that limit and select a louder mode. The limit is an upper boundary, so the source device can still be set to a lower listening level.
The V1 is designed for children approximately 2 to 12 years old. Its adjustable headband, swiveling earcups, lightweight frame, and on-ear construction allow the fit to be changed as the child grows.
No companion app is required for normal operation of the A36, W82, or V1. Basic functions are handled through the headset physical controls, the connected device audio settings, or the relevant wired or wireless connection mode.
Yes, provided the device supports the required connection. The A36 and V1 use 3.5mm audio, so devices without a headphone jack need a compatible USB-C or Lightning audio adapter. The W82 can also connect over Bluetooth or through compatible wireless receivers.
Color selection depends on the model and current product configuration. The A36 is offered in finishes such as Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, Red, and White. V1 options include colors such as Green, Black, Blue, Pink, Red, and Cyan. Availability can change by market.
The A36 is a wired over-ear gaming headset with a microphone, 50mm drivers, inline controls, and RGB lighting. The W82 adds 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, wired operation, a rechargeable battery, and a detachable microphone. The V1 is a smaller wired headphone for children, with 40mm drivers, a foldable frame, and an 85 dB volume limit.
Start With the Port, Not the Color
Three questions settle the order. What socket does the device actually have, does the wearer need the 85 dB ceiling, and is a cable a problem where you play? Finish comes last, and stock on any given color moves around anyway.
