Lenovo has introduced the Legion Y960 gaming headset during its latest hardware launch event in China. It is priced at 599 yuan (around $88) and stands out by offering a physical 7.1-channel surround sound system. The headset comes in black and silver colors.
Lenovo Legion Y960 Headset Specifications
To achieve this physical 7.1 setup, Lenovo has engineered a patented six-driver acoustic architecture inside the earcups. The system pairs two primary 40mm drivers with four secondary 20mm drivers.
According to Lenovo, this hardware-level separation of audio channels is designed to help players better distinguish overlapping in-game sounds, like footsteps, gunfire, and environmental cues, with improved directional accuracy and lower latency than standard virtual processing allows.
The headset has Hi-Res audio certification and a frequency response range of 20Hz to 40kHz. It uses titanium-coated diaphragms, which are designed to help with audio clarity and dynamic range.
Lenovo also included a feature called Soundprint Perspective, which is tuned to identify and highlight specific in-game sounds to help players understand where sounds are coming from.
For communication, the Y960 comes with a detachable, unidirectional microphone. It features a cardioid pickup pattern and AI environmental noise cancellation. It also supports sidetone, so you can hear your own voice through the speakers and avoid talking too loudly.
The headset includes an inline controller with a dual sound card setup. This allows users to switch between 7.1 and 2.0 channel audio, and change between Game, Music, and Cinema sound profiles directly from the cable, without needing to install extra software.
In terms of design, the headset features customizable RGB lighting with 16 million colors and works with Microsoft Dynamic Lighting. For comfort, it weighs 346 grams and uses a suspended dual-side headband design to distribute the weight across the head, which is intended to make it more comfortable for longer periods of use. The ear cushions are fully enclosed to block out background noise passively.
The Y960 connects via a cable and comes with USB-C and USB-A options, plus a dedicated 3.5mm microphone port. It is a plug-and-play device, meaning it does not require you to download drivers to use it. It is compatible with PCs, consoles, handheld gaming devices, and phones.
At the same event, Lenovo also unveiled the Yoga 32 Ultra Aura all-in-one PC featuring a 4K 165Hz OLED display and Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processor, alongside the new YOGA Air 14 Ultra Aura laptop powered by Intel Core Ultra chips.
