WAVE Model 3
Ultralight Triple Mode Wireless Gaming Headset
Focused play, steady control. The QPAD WAVE Model 3 is an ultralight wireless gaming headset that connects three ways, over 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.3 or a USB-C cable, and comes with two magnetic swap batteries in the box. Fifty-millimetre drivers handle the sound, and the boom mic clips off when you want a plain pair of headphones.
Triple Mode Connectivity: Switch between 2.4 GHz dongle, Bluetooth 5.3 and wired USB-C audio from the headset itself.
Two Magnetic Swap Batteries: Up to 80 hours (40 h + 40 h), and both batteries come in the box.
50 mm Drivers: Big drivers, wide range: 20 Hz at the bottom, 20,000 Hz at the top, in stereo surround.
Detachable Boom Mic: An omnidirectional microphone, foam cover included, and the earcup has its own mute button.
Ultralight: Around 296 g, made for long play sessions.
Protein Leather Cushions: Ear cushions of memory foam, clad in premium protein leather.
Aluminium Ear Forks: Aluminium alloy forks for durability.
2-in-1 Dongle: One 2.4 GHz dongle covers both USB-A and USB-C, so laptops and phones need no adapter.
Multi-Platform: Works with PC, PS5, Switch 2, iOS and Android; which features run depends on the mode.
Extra Earcaps: The box also holds a spare pair of earcaps in topographic design.
Swap Batteries. Never Stop.
40 h + 40 h: Two 800 mAh magnetic batteries come in the box, one fitted and one in reserve: up to 80 hours before you need a socket.
Swap in seconds: The spare clicks on with a magnet, so a dead battery takes seconds to swap rather than the evening.
Charge by USB-C: A full charge over USB-C takes roughly three hours from empty, and the headset stays usable while plugged in and charging.
Three Ways In
2.4 GHz: One dongle, two plugs: USB-C on one end, USB-A on the other, so a desktop, a laptop and a phone all take it directly.
Bluetooth 5.3: Link it with a tablet or phone for calls and music. Press the microphone button to pick up or hang up.
USB-C wired: Once the 1.6 m cable is connected, the headset moves over to wired audio on its own and charges as you play.
50 mm of Focus
50 mm drivers: Stereo surround sound in high fidelity, covering 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz with an impedance of 32 Ω.
Detachable mic: The boom mic picks up in every direction and wears a foam cover for clean team chat. Take it off and the headset looks like plain headphones.
Built to last: Ear forks in aluminium alloy, memory foam cushions covered in protein leather, and approx. 296 g of weight on your head.
