Schiit Audio Gunnr
Get serious about gaming and ditch weak, unreliable Bluetooth audio with Gunnr, the only super-high-power gaming interface with soundstage control. Bring details closer, and hear more accurately with the twist of a knob—no software or apps needed!
Get Into the Game
Gunnr gives you our exclusive Width and Presence controls, which work on any game, any music, any source, regardless of surround standards. Turn a knob to expand the soundstage and hear farther into the mix, and turn the other knob to bring voices and other sounds into sharp focus. Hear your opponents before they hear you…or simply use it to enjoy your favorite playlist.
Feel Insane Power and Impact
Gunnr delivers up to 2W RMS per channel—more than enough for any headphone—while rendering every detail with a 32-bit ESS DAC. Plug in to any PC, Mac, PS4, PS5, Switch, iOS, or Android device, and you’ll get powerful, lag-free, dropout-free sound…while also sounding amazing to your friends with a podcast-quality microphone input with dedicated TI ADC.
Enjoy Ultimate Convenience
Want to take Gunnr on the road? Sure! You can use it with a single USB-C cable, and no additional external power. Or, connect the supplied wall adapter to activate the Linear Override power supply, for even more power and volume.
Extreme Protection and Reliability
Gunnr was engineered from the ground up for mission-critical gaming. High-reliability USB-C connectors, quality Neutrik headphone jack, and exclusive custom high-match Alps potentiometers are just the beginning. We also include our exclusive over-current protection to eliminate potential problems with shorts or wrong connectors, plus integrated thermal protection, and extensive ESD hardening of all inputs and outputs. We’ve even decoupled the USB connections to eliminate most ground loops.
Designed and Built in the USA
By “designed and built in the USA" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Gunnr—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made in California. Our PCBs are made in California or Nevada, and it all comes together in our Corpus Christi facility.
3-Year Warranty, 1-Year Rapid Return/Exchange
Gunnr is covered by a 3-year limited warranty that covers parts and labor, as well as a 1-year rapid return/exchange to make sure you’re always ready for the game. And if you don’t like your Gunnr, you can send it back for a refund, minus 15% restocking fee, within 15 days of receiving it.
