Nubia launched the Red Magic Gaming Headset, a wired audio peripheral designed for gamers who need clear spatial awareness. The device targets players who want to hear specific in-game audio cues like footsteps and gunfire without relying on wireless latency. Nubia released two separate connectivity variants to accommodate different device inputs. The product is currently available for purchase in China.
Two connectivity variants offer 3.5mm jack or USB-C options
The headset carries the model number WH4008 and features a semi-in-ear design. Nubia chose this shape to avoid using silicone ear tips, which may improve comfort for users who dislike the pressure of in-ear seals. Each earbud houses a 14.2mm dynamic driver. The drivers deliver a frequency response range of 20Hz to 20kHz and have a rated power output of 5mW.

Nubia offers the headset in two distinct connection options. One version includes a standard 3.5mm headphone jack for traditional wired connections. The other version uses a USB-C connector for direct digital audio output. Both variants include a three-button inline remote on the cable. This remote features a built-in microphone for voice communication during gameplay.
Audio profile tuned for in-game cues like footsteps and gunfire
Nubia states that the audio profile is tuned to help players hear specific in-game audio cues. The composite diaphragm setup aims to make sounds like footsteps and gunfire stand out against background noise. This tuning supports spatial awareness, which is critical for competitive gaming. The headset relies solely on wired connections and does not feature active noise cancellation or wireless functionality.
