Yes, use the 3.5mm wired connection to a console controller, PC, Nintendo Switch...etc, and pair the Bluetooth connection to a mobile device. Audio from both sources is mixed together in the headset. The microphone signal automatically switches over to Bluetooth whenever a call is initiated.

The 3.5mm cable gets connected to the Switch tablet to receive game audio, and the headset’s Bluetooth is used to connect to the Nintendo Switch chat app on a mobile device. The game and chat audio is automatically mixed together in the headset. Only a single cable is needed for a super clean setup.

Bluetooth is a convenient wireless technology for streaming audio from a mobile device and for communications, but it isn’t ideal for gaming. Latency can be rather long, which means you will always hear your audio slightly later than you see the visuals on screen. Also, when using chat functionality Bluetooth limits the frequency range available, so audio loses some fidelity. Having wired audio for gaming ensures zero latency and maximum sound quality. Bottom line: wired game audio and Bluetooth chat is an ideal setup for a variety of platforms.

No, headset power is only used for Bluetooth connections. The 3.5mm wired audio can be used on its own with zero battery consumption.
