Short version: great buy for a picky gamer. She likes it, uses it daily, hasn’t killed it, and hasn’t asked to replace it — which honestly is the real test. Long version: I bought this as a gift for my gamer girlfriend who plays mostly on Nintendo Switch (on the go), PS5, and occasionally PC. I’ll admit it right away — I’m one of those people who reads way too many reviews and Q&As before buying anything tech‑related. I also knew going in that this was a newer headset, so yeah, I took a bit of a chance — but not a blind one. She already owns and really loves her Glorious Infinite Mouse with Power Booster Packs, so I felt better giving this a shot knowing their other gear has held up well for her. I was comparing this against the usual options in this price range (Cloud III, Nova 3, Kraken V4 X, etc.), and I kept seeing the same questions pop up everywhere: “Does this work on Switch?” “Is the mic actually clear?” “Is it sturdy or does it feel cheap?” That’s where this headset stood out. It just works everywhere. Plugged straight into the Switch, PS5 controller, PC, and even my iPhone — no adapters, no messing with settings. For a wired headset, that flexibility actually matters way more than people think. Sound quality surprised me in a big way. Besides gaming, I’ve borrowed it to plug into my iPhone for YouTube and random videos, and it sounds really nice. Good bass without being overpowering, clear mids, and nothing harsh. I was honestly pretty impressed for the price. It’s not studio headphones, but for a gaming headset it definitely doesn’t sound cheap. She was impressed too admitted it sounded like an expensive headset For games, directional audio is solid. Footsteps are easy to place and it doesn’t have that overly boomy or muddy tuning that some gaming headsets have. It feels tuned for gaming first — not productivity or music production — which is exactly what it should be. Mic nitpick: it can pick up some background noise if it’s not positioned well. Once you take 30 seconds to get the mic placed correctly, though, it sounds good and her teammates had no issues hearing her clearly. This isn’t a podcast or work‑from‑home headset — it’s a gaming mic, and for that purpose it works well. The mic also bends out of the way and detaches completely when she doesn’t want it in her face. One thing I didn’t expect but really liked is the software side. Using their Glorious CORE on PC, you can tweak the EQ and settings, and the headset actually remembers those settings on the headset itself. Once it’s set, you can unplug it and use it on a console or phone without needing software running in the background — the tuning stays. That’s a nice touch and not something every headset in this price range handles well. The ear cups and the suspension headband (that’s what I call the top strap) feel quality too. And overall, this feels like real gaming gear — not flimsy, not delicate. It can get tossed on a desk, twisted around, dropped in a backpack, and yeah… survive the occasional rage moment. It’s not a fragile flower — it fits right in with the rest of her gaming setup. The RGB is subtle but clean. It looks good on a desk and doesn’t scream for attention. More “nice addition to a setup” than “look at me.” Is it the cheapest option out there? No. Is it overpriced? Also no. After testing and handling a few cheaper and pricier options, this felt like a newer, better‑thought‑out headset rather than something getting cleared out or cut down to hit a price point. Bottom line: great buy for a picky gamer. She’s happy with it, uses it daily, hasn’t broken it, and hasn’t asked to swap it out — and that’s honestly the best endorsement I can give.

Five stars. I love my Glorious D3 mouse, so I thought I would check out one of their other products. I picked these up skeptical, expecting the usual trade-offs at this price. That didn't happen. The fit is genuinely comfortable. Plush ear cushions, no clamp pressure, headband that adjusts without fuss. I wore them through a four-hour session and never reached up to adjust them once. Audio holds up just as well. The sound is wider than I expected, highs are clean; the bass has presence without overwhelming dialogue or in-game audio cues. In competitive play, directional sound comes through clearly enough to matter. RGB looks good, controls are where you'd expect them, mic picks up voice cleanly with minimal background noise bleeding in. Nothing feels cheap. I've used headsets in the $130 to $200 range that don't outperform this one by enough to justify the difference. If you're on the fence, get off it. Hey Glorious ,,, please make a wireless set with the same technology you used on the D3 Mouse: InfinitePlay swappable battery. Thanks!

The sound quality has been great for gaming and voice chat, sidetone is a must for me which it has, and it feels like both the headset and mic were designed to just work without overcomplicating things. The headset is really comfortable too. The suspension-style headband feels soft on top of your head, and the earcups fit nicely around the ears without feeling too tight during longer sessions. The materials also feel surprisingly premium for the price. My daughter especially loves the RGB lighting. We used the software to change the colors, and it was actually pretty simple to do. It adds a fun touch without being too over the top. The software has EQ presets. I also liked that it came with both a USB-C cable and a regular 3.5mm audio cable and usb-c to usb-a dongle. Nice touch. I like the little features, the light up mic to show you when you are muted. the two control knobs, one for volume and one for mixing the chat volume and the game volume. I like the look of the headset, the design is clean. its a nice alternative to some of the more common gaming brands. Overall it just feels comfortable, solid, and well thought out for everyday gaming and more

I recently got these headphones to replace my old headphones that were starting to show their age. The Glorious Headphones so far have been great! The soundstage is good right out of the box, and I like that I didn't really have to do any tweaking to make them sound good. They are closed headphones, and do a good job of isolating sound so I can really focus when I use them. I like that it has an included volume and eq knob on the back of the headphones, which makes it easy to change settings on the fly as needed. The included mic sounds decent as well, or at least my friends say so in discord. The headphones are pretty lightweight too, and sort of become flat/compact so I can easily slip them into my bag when I travel for work. The detachable mic is a really cool feature as well, so I can take it off if I don't need to use it for the day. I was also very impressed that they added a 3.5mm cable, and a USB C cable that comes with a USB C to USB A converter. Overall I'm impressed with these for the price that they are, and would recommend these to anyone looking for some good headphones at a good price for the features that they offer.

Great headset! I've had this on for long games and never had any discomfort that I usually get. The ear pads are nice and squishy and the clamping force seems to be just right. The audio performance is a big step up from the competitors. The game sounds are accurate and positing noises is easier. The EQs also work well to listen to music or have a call and being able to change between them directly on the headset is awesome! The microphone is super clear and I get comments all the time. This is a big one for me! The RGB is a nice touch, not in your face but pointing forward so that you can see it on camera when streaming.

Feels great to wear even after a couple hours. It comes with 2 types of connection cables and an adapter so it works with most setups. It also sounds great right out of the box.

Fantastic headset with clear, crisp sound for both gaming and chatting with friends. Headset is light weight and comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. Really love the ability to independently change voice chat and game volume!

Picked this up looking for a decent microphone that I could use for both games and work calls under $100. After previous good experiences with Glorious stuff I'm not really surprised that this is another solid product. The mic is clear and the controls are right where you’d expect them. Sound-wise ranger is decently wide, highs and lows balance well and don't drown each other out which is great for games where sound direction matters. I like that I can just plug it into my PC for meetings, then switch to console or my regular setup at night. The RGB is subtle and you can turn it off for work but pretty easily customizable if you're trying to match it to other gear. Nothing feels cheap, and for the price it doesn’t feel like you’re giving up much. Really good product.

The headset is extremely comfortable and I the cord is a great size (hate it when others have shortened their cords). I have worn the headset for about 2 weeks including some long gaming sessions (10 hours) and it has been really comfortable and feels very light on my head. The suspension headband feels comfortable and it doesn't pinch (others have pinched in the past). I really like the forward facing lights (others point to the side and then if I am on camera, no one sees the lights). Also, the pricing is great, lower than others with RGB lights. It is a great value and a headset that I will continue to use PC gaming. Thank you Glorious, this may be my new go-to headset.

My laptop's headphone jack quit working a bit ago so I had been looking for a viable alternative for some time. Bluetooth options never worked well for me because of connection issues that arose between devices, so my only option left was to look for a USB option. The Glorious headset exceeded my expectations with its versatile functions and crisp sound! Could not have wanted anything more.

Good qualtiy sound and lightweight can be used for long hour use

At a very low cost to purchase this headset has all of the essentials plus the bonuses of being able to adjust audio volume adjust while in discord. Great value, great quality, looks pretty
CharlesE Posted
No complaints. Fits well and is very adjustable. Sounds good and being able to adjust game and chat volumes separately with the dials on each ear is very helpful.
DevinO Posted
Great value for the price point. The additional features for manually tuning different audio sources is both unique and convenient.

Would buy another! Lightweight and comfortable. Enjoyed item.

My gaming child wanted the lights. Loves that there is separate volume knobs for chat and game play. He thinks being able to setup the equalizer up with the other presets is cool. Def a good buy. Would recommend at the price.
