GravaStar Mercury Edge Series: Pro, Edge and Lite Headsets Open for Pre-Order

GravaStar Mercury Edge Pre-Orders Open October 29

The GravaStar Mercury Edge series is open for pre-order from October 29, 2026 at gravastar.com, and it is a refreshingly clear lineup: three headsets, three prices, one design language. Mercury Edge Pro costs $179.95, Mercury Edge costs $139.95, and Mercury Edge Lite costs $99.95. All three launch in black only, with more colours planned later, and all three share 53mm dynamic drivers, a detachable ENC microphone, virtual surround sound and seven colour RGB lighting. The differences are in connectivity, noise control and battery, not in the core sound. The full announcement is in GravaStar's official press release.

Mercury Edge Pro: The Flagship, and What $179.95 Buys

Edge Pro is the one to look at if you play competitively or take calls on the same headset you game on. It adds THX Spatial Audio with virtual 7.1.4 surround on compatible Windows 11 PCs, which is meant to help you place footsteps and movement in space, not just hear them louder. Active Noise Cancellation cuts up to 34dB of environmental noise, and the detachable unidirectional microphone uses ENC call noise reduction for clearer team chat. Connectivity is tri-mode: simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth audio mixing, so you can hear low latency game audio while staying connected to a phone call, with a roughly 20ms 2.4GHz connection, Bluetooth 5.3 and USB-C. The drivers use CCAW voice coils, neodymium magnets and PU composite diaphragms, and PC software handles EQ, THX, spatial audio and RGB controls. If you want one headset for ranked play, work calls and late night sessions, this is the pitch.

Mercury Edge and Mercury Edge Lite: Where the Money Goes

Mercury Edge, at $139.95, is the everyday wireless pick. It keeps the 53mm drivers, software based virtual 7.1 surround, detachable ENC mic and tri-mode 2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.3 and USB-C connectivity, plus a 2000mAh battery for extended wireless use. You lose the Pro's THX spatial processing and ANC, which is a fair trade if you mostly play at home in a quiet room. Mercury Edge Lite, at $99.95, simplifies further: it is a battery free USB-C headset, so you plug in and play with no charging, no wireless pairing and no battery anxiety. It still keeps the 53mm drivers, virtual 7.1 surround, detachable ENC mic, adjustable fit and seven colour RGB. For a second headset, a dorm setup or a kid's rig, Lite is the most honest value in the range.

Design, Comfort and the Honest Trade-Offs

All three models share GravaStar's skeletal architecture design: flowing contours, layered earcup geometry, memory foam cushions, 90 degree rotating earcups and a sliding headband. That is a distinctive look, and it will divide opinion in a good way, because at least you will know it on a desk. Comfort features are consistent across the range, which is rarer than it should be at these prices. The trade-offs are also clear. Only black is available at launch, so if you want colour, you wait. The Lite has no wireless at all, so do not buy it expecting Bluetooth. And the Pro's THX spatial audio is a Windows 11 PC feature, so console and mobile players should judge it on its drivers, mic and connectivity instead.

Which Mercury Edge Should You Buy

Buy the Pro if you want ANC, THX spatial audio and simultaneous game plus phone audio in one headset, and you play on PC. Buy the Edge if you want wireless freedom and long battery life without paying for ANC you will not use. Buy the Lite if you want a simple, wired headset that sounds bigger than its price and never needs charging. At $99.95 to $179.95, GravaStar is not trying to undercut the budget end or out spec the $300 flagships. It is aiming at the middle, where most players actually buy, with a design that stands out and specs that are easy to understand. Pre-orders are live now, so check regional availability at GravaStar's store before assuming shipping dates.
