If not a Research Nerd = Best Bang For Your Buck. PERIOD. TL;DR: Saved $120–$170 compared to SteelSeries Arctis Nova Omni Pro and Turtle Beach Stealth Pro II. The Glorious GHS Wireless InfinitePlay gives you unmatched 85-hour battery packs (170+ hrs total), an internal 3-hour Guardian reserve battery so audio never disconnects, an ultra-lightweight ~280g design (60g–140g lighter than rivals) for fatigue-free gaming, and a durable frame that survived my flex test Full Review: What makes the Glorious GHS Wireless InfinitePlay better than $300–$350 competitors like SteelSeries and Turtle Beach? Price. Pure and simple. After researching online reviews and analyzing common customer Q&A across all three brands, I landed on Glorious as the ultimate "Budget Premium" pick. I was ecstatic when this dropped because it gave me top-tier features while saving me $120 to $170 on my gaming setup. Here is how it hits the key points that I cared most about: 1. Battery Life, Fast Charging, & Hot-Swap Mechanics Does swapping batteries disconnect your audio? No! Unlike competitors that fully shut down and disconnect your game/Discord chat when swapping batteries (SteelSeries only gives you 5-10 seconds). How long does Glorious give you for swapping batteries? Glorious includes a 3rd internal "Guardian" reserve battery holding up to a 3-hour charge. It keeps your 2.4GHz/BT audio live so you don't miss a second of gameplay during swaps. How much time do you get with the Battery Packs? Massive Battery Runtime: Each swappable pack delivers up to 85 hours (170+ hours combined total). How fast does it take to charge up the Swappable Battery Packs? Fast Charging & Base Station Stats: Charging a swappable battery in the base station takes just 84 minutes from ZERO to FULL. Plus, a quick 15-minute fast charge gives you around 24 to 28 hours of playback on 2.4GHz wireless depending on volume! Swap & Orientation Tip: I didn't like the swapping at first, although with the internal battery I have 3 hours to get a free moment to switch out. The battery seems a little "stiff" popping out. I guess to prevent it from falling out. BUT I have gotten way BETTER swapping without looking. I have a trick. When inserting the pack, load it with the Glorious text facing your head—it pops out much easier that way when changing packs. I usually keep the battery writing facing up in the battery charger, too. But again...you have 3 hours to swap out with that internal battery with no signal loss. 2. Sound Quality & Audio Tuning Is the audio clear for footsteps and voice? Yes, out of the box, it offers clear, detailed sound with custom 40mm drivers and a detachable ENC boom microphone that keeps voice audio clear for teammates. You can also fine-tune equalizer profiles in the companion software for extra bass punch or competitive FPS audio presets. 3. Comfort & Build Quality (Stress Tested!) This is where Glorious blows the competition out of the water for long sessions. Sitting at roughly 280 grams, it is significantly lighter than the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro (~338g) and drastically lighter than the tank-like Turtle Beach Stealth Pro (~420g). Saving 60 to 140 grams on your head means zero neck strain or crown pressure during all-day gaming marathons. Is the headband durable? Super durable. I put it through multiple drop tests (not purposefully - it's just where I place them on my micro desk LOL...I'll have to get a hook) They are still working.! So...Quality test passed! (I definitely wouldn't risk trying that drop tests on the heavy $350 competitors!) 4. Design & Desk Footprint Does the base station take up too much desk space? The included charger/dock has a small, flat footprint compared to the competition that connects to your PC or console while holding the 2.4GHz wireless dongle. Desk Setup: Personal preference—I keep it resting on its side for a cleaner look, and I plan to 3D print a vertical stand for it down the road. Verdict = Best Bang For MY Buck. PERIOD. I’m not claiming Glorious beats $350 headsets on every flagship luxury (like Active Noise Cancellation or attaching to 5 audio sources). But if you prioritize unbeatable 85-hr battery life per pack, 3-hr internal "guard your play" battery, EASY + TRUE zero-downtime hot-swapping that keeps great audio without dropping, fast base station charging, 2 audio sources using 2.4Ghz & BT, durable design, and massive value for money, the Glorious InfinitePlay gives you max bang for your buck.

I've used a lot of wireless gaming headsets over the years, and one of the biggest frustrations is having to remember to charge my headset and having to stop playing just because the battery dies. That's where the Glorious GHS Wireless InfinitePlay comes in and it immediately stands out. The biggest feature is the hot swappable battery system, and after using it, it's surprisingly difficult to go back to a traditional wireless headset. Instead of plugging in a charging cable or waiting an hour for the headset to recharge or having to plug in a USB-C cord while midgame, the GHS Wireless comes with a charging base station that keeps a spare battery topped off and ready to go. Swapping batteries takes only a few seconds, and the best part is that you don't have to remove any covers or panels to access the battery. It simply slides in and out, making the process incredibly fast and effortless. It's one of those features that sounds small on paper but completely changes the gaming experience, especially during long gaming sessions or marathon weekends and the headset will even still work while you are swapping between batteries. The included charging base is also a nice addition to the setup. It keeps the headset organized on your desk while simultaneously charging the spare battery, so you're almost always ready with a full battery waiting. It eliminates battery anxiety entirely, which is something very few wireless gaming headsets can honestly claim. It also has a USB-C slot of the wireless receiver so it frees up a USB-C port on your computer or gaming console. Sound quality is another area where the GHS Wireless delivers. The custom tuned drivers produce a detailed and balanced sound signature with strong bass response that doesn't overpower the mids or highs. Explosions have plenty of impact, footsteps remain easy to distinguish, and dialogue comes through clearly whether you're playing competitive shooters or story-driven single-player games. Music also sounds surprisingly good, making the headset versatile enough for everyday listening outside of gaming. My only complaint is that the headset doesn't get that loud. That being said, in the Glorious Core app, there is a toggle “Volume Boost” that is grayed out and says coming soon. So Glorious is aware of this issue and will be fixing it with an update soon. The Microphone quality is equally impressive. The detachable boom microphone captures voices clearly with good background noise rejection, making it an excellent choice for Discord chats, multiplayer games, or work calls. One feature I really appreciate is that Glorious also included a built-in internal microphone. If you don't want to attach the boom mic while casually gaming, watching videos, or taking a quick call over Bluetooth, the internal microphone automatically gives you that flexibility without leaving you completely without voice capability. In order to customize the Equalizer for the GHS you will need to the download the Glorious Core app on a computer and there is no smart phone app if you are using this for just console gaming. In the app you can customize the Sound Profile and they have presets for certain competitive games that you can pick from, which is a nice addition. You can also customize the Mic volume along with the side tones and enable ENC which will block out background noise. The controls are thoughtfully laid out and easy to learn. On the headset you'll find a dedicated volume wheel for a game/chat mix control that lets you quickly balance game audio with voice chat, a dedicated microphone mute button, and a separate button for switching between the low-latency 2.4 GHz wireless connection and Bluetooth. Everything is positioned well enough that after a short time I could adjust settings by feel without taking the headset off. Build quality also deserves praise. The headset feels solid and the earcups swivel so they can lay flat when they are around your neck. There aren't any creaks or cheap feeling plastics, and it feels like it can handle everyday use without issue. The headband provides a comfortable fit with enough padding for extended gaming sessions, while the ear cushions remain comfortable even after wearing them for several hours. Clamping force feels well balanced, providing a secure fit without creating unnecessary pressure. Connectivity is simple and reliable. The low latency 2.4 GHz wireless mode provides an excellent gaming experience with virtually no noticeable delay, while Bluetooth makes it easy to pair with phones, tablets, or other compatible devices. Switching between the two wireless modes only takes a button press, making it convenient depending on what you're using. Since I use this with my PC, PS5 and Switch 2, I have the battery docking station on my desk and then I will remove the wireless dongle from the charging base to plug into my PS5 and then I will connect it with Bluetooth to my Switch 2. That being said, there are two omissions that stand out for a headset at this premium price. The first is the lack of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The passive isolation is decent, but at this price point I would have liked the option to block out more background noise while gaming or casual listening. The second disappointment is that you cannot use Bluetooth and the 2.4 GHz wireless connection simultaneously. Many premium headsets now allow you to listen to game audio over the wireless dongle while taking a phone call or listening to music over Bluetooth at the same time. Unfortunately, the GHS Wireless requires you to choose one connection or the other. While this won't matter to everyone, it is a feature I expected to see in a headset at this price. Pros Innovative hot-swappable battery system No battery cover to remove for battery swaps Charging base keeps spare battery ready at all times Clear detachable boom microphone Built-in internal microphone for added convenience Comfortable headband and ear cushions for extended gaming Easy-to-use onboard controls Dedicated game/chat mix control Cons No Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Cannot use Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless simultaneously Volume doesn't get that loud (software update coming to fix) Overall, the Glorious GHS Wireless InfinitePlay stands out by focusing on solving one of the biggest annoyances of wireless gaming headsets: battery life. The real time hot swappable battery system is genuinely innovative, the sound quality is good, the microphone performs well, and the overall comfort and build quality make it easy to wear for long sessions. While the lack of ANC and simultaneous Bluetooth plus 2.4 GHz connectivity keep it from being perfect, those shortcomings don't overshadow what is otherwise an exceptionally well designed wireless gaming headset.

I’ve used a lot of gaming headsets over the years, so it takes something different to really grab my attention. The Glorious GHS Wireless InfinitePlay did exactly that with its hot-swappable battery system, but after spending some time with it, I found there’s a lot more to like than just that one feature. Getting everything set up was quick and easy. I used the headset with both my PC and my iPad, and Bluetooth pairing was about as simple as it gets. As soon as I put the headset into pairing mode, it showed up almost immediately in my iPad’s Bluetooth settings and connected within seconds. Connecting to my PC with the included 2.4 GHz wireless dongle was just as easy, and I was ready to jump into a game within a few minutes. The headset also made a good first impression. Even though it’s mostly plastic, it doesn’t feel cheap at all. It’s lightweight, feels well put together, and the ear cushions are soft enough that I had no problem wearing it for gaming sessions that lasted three to four hours. My ears got a little warm by the end of those longer sessions, but never sweaty or uncomfortable, and the headband never created any pressure on the top of my head. I tested the headset with Call of Duty, Gears of War, and The Finals using the default sound profile. I never felt the need to install the Glorious Core software or change the EQ because it sounded good right out of the box. Footsteps were easy to hear, which is always important in competitive shooters, and explosions had enough bass to make the action feel immersive without overpowering everything else. If I had one complaint, it would be the maximum volume. I found myself turning it almost all the way up during gameplay, and I think it could benefit from having a little more headroom. Even so, the overall sound quality was balanced and enjoyable. The detachable microphone also worked well. My teammates never had any issues hearing me, and voice chat stayed clear throughout my gaming sessions. I also like that you can remove the boom mic when you don’t need it, which gives the headset a cleaner look for listening to music or watching videos. The feature that really sets this headset apart is the battery system. I never actually needed to swap batteries because the battery life is excellent, but I tested it anyway just to see how it worked. Swapping the battery while wearing the headset was surprisingly easy, and the headset stayed connected the entire time. Having a second battery charging in the dock means you’re always ready to keep playing without having to plug the headset into a charging cable. Overall, I was really impressed with the Glorious GHS Wireless InfinitePlay. It’s comfortable, lightweight, sounds good for both competitive and casual gaming, and the battery swapping system is one of those features that quickly makes you wonder why more headsets don’t do it this way. If you’re looking for a wireless gaming headset with some genuinely useful features and solid all-around performance, this one is definitely worth checking out.

I've only ever seen keyboards and mice from Glorious and wasn't even aware they had stepped into the headphone market until seeing the GHS Wireless pop up. When reading about them I found they had released a wired version (the GHS Eternal) earlier this year, but the GHS Wireless InfinitePlay (as the same suggests) is a wireless offering that has a hot-swappable battery setup allowing for, you guessed it, "infinite" playability. It's a really interesting concept, provide users with a charger and two batteries, one to charge, one to use, so long as you stay on top of keeping one of them topped off, you're good, never have to worry about running out of juice. That's awesome and a dongle slot for charging is also nicely integrated. Everything has a very nice feel to it, pops of orange on anything of interest to draw your attention and eye to it. But that's about it, after that you are left with some run of the mill headphones that don't really have all that amazing sound. They sound good, don't get me wrong, but they aren't going to have you running to your friends saying "omg, you *have* to hear these...!!!" But the battery setup really is nice, and you still have the option to played wired and there's a detachable mic. All of these aux items are of the same great quality. The mic is thick and not flimsy like many others, as such you aren't able to position it in an infinite (sorry) number of positions, but it also won't break or move on you once it *is* set. The type-c cables (you get two of them) are a thicker gauge than what you get with most other devices and as a result I will likely use for other devices. The two buttons and knobs (one each per side) are a nice metal with knurled bumps on them for added texture. The knobs spin and depress, allowing for multiple functions. Again, the quality of everything from feel, to texture, to "heft", all very well done. It's all 8 out of 10. The should quality is where you're in that 6.5-7 out of 10 *at best* and is why I can't give this a full 5 stars, not at this price-point anyway. Bass is lacking and when using EQ to adjust you can tell you are at the limits of what the speakers are able to provide. Recommended so long as you know these are not going to win any audio quality awards, everything else about them is awesome. They'd definitely do the trick if you have never had nice headphones before and aren't familiar with what else is out there, and they more than make up for that detraction in build quality and of course the awesome battery swapping feature which really is huge to know you never have to worry about them going dead.

Really nice gaming headphones. They include a battery charging station, two removable batteries, two USB C long cables (with one adapter to type A), the headset, a USB dongle and a removable boom mic. The install was pretty easy. Just plug the charging station (which I think should have been the wireless dongle too, but the dongle plugs into it), insert one battery into the headset (clicks into place with a nice click) and one into the charging station. The mic is removable too. Then you install their Core software and it told me there was a firmware update. You need to plug the headset via USB cable to update its firmware (not wireless) and the dongle. After it, it was ready to go. The software is very nice and easy to use. They got several settings like sidetone/mic monitoring (more on this later), mic noise canceling, EQs (this section is pretty nice, they show you what it changes in some nice frequency range graphs and gives you a short explanation of what each preset is emphasizing). They also have presets for some popular games (like Battlefield 6, valorant, etc.). The batteries last a long time and the best feature is that when you are swapping one, the headset does not turn off, stays on long enough for you to plug in your new one. The major win of this headset is the comfort, wow, they are so comfy. I own several other brands, and these hands down are one of the comfiest ones I have. They have a floating headband that feel good on your head, and apart from that the sides also extend. The earpads are breathable and nice fabric. The headset controls are very nice and super intuitive and easy to use. They have two rotary knobs, which their main functions are the main volume and also game/chat mix volume (great win here, game/chat mix I think is a must on a gaming headset). If you press or long press on them, you activate other functions. There is also a lone dedicated mic mute button. Now, there are 2 major cons right now and 1 minor one: 1- The volume levels are too low, almost make the headset unusable. They say they are working on a volume boost feature update, but they should not have been release with such low volume levels. Far lower than any gaming headsets from any other brand you may find out there. From what I could barely hear, they seem to have nice sound quality and specially with the EQ presets, for what I could try on Rainbow six siege with the FPS presets, footsteps were clear (its just that the the low volume is too bad right now). This needs to be fixed ASAP. I may provide an update if/when they do so. 2- The sidetone/mic monitoring volume is also super low, even at max level (all it does now the max level is introduce a white hiss noise), I can barely hear my own voice, I have to stick the boom mic so close to my mouth, almost kissing it. 3- Minor con, no simultaneous Bluetooth. You can switch from it to 2.4ghz mode quick, but not simultaneous. If they can iron out the kinks quick, they have a winner in their hands. Specially on the comfort (again, this is its major win, you would not believe how comfy they are you have to try them!), features, battery life/swappabiltiy.

Glorious is definitely bringing some changes to their peripherals they previous made their first swappable battery on their gaming mouse and now glorious looks like would to continue the same the sign approach on things, now we got the GHS Wireless Infinite Play Gaming Headset UNBOXING: unboxing the headset though was very uninspired boring experience but you do get a quick start guide quickly highlighting the headsets feature and your typical manaul. also inside the box we get the headsets, the charging dock for the headset with 2 sets of battery to switch around to, you also get a detachable microphone 1 dongle and 1 receiver and 2 USBC adapter. PRODUCT & FEATURES looking at the headset the whole casing is pretty much plastic and the earpad is very mushy that is very comfortable around the ear and it’s detachable and can be change for other ear cups online . the headset is fully wireless, its. a great size. headset is light weight and also pretty flexible compared to other headset ive tried, the best part about this is the fact that you can swap the batteries that last over 80 hrs. headset has the ability to switch up to 5 profiles. you do will need to download their software if you would like to fully customize the headset with its EQ which right now it shows currently on beta, but from my testing its very customizable. one of the coolest thing ive seen so far is how this headset features a detachable microphone and a built in microphone, so if you prefer not having a boom microphone hanging over your face you have an option to just use the built in. this headset has 40mm angled drivers and 2.4ghz for ultra low latency connectivity EXPERIENCE: when it comes to experience during gaming nothing special when it comes to the audio, this headset definitely just sounds standard but then again for that price i think its fine, i’ve experienced testing this on The finals, Battlefield 6. I would highly get on pc and change the EQ you just have further customization when using the software. also tested using on my PS5 and the only thing I wish that this headset have was a separate receiver for convenience. I also notice that even without battery the headset audio will continue to produce audio that it doesn’t disconnect you on the experience while gaming. CONCLUSION: my honest thoughts on this GHS infinite play wireless headset is that from price point to feature this gaming headset packs with great features than most headset specially the price point. the software is a huge plus to have your own custom EQ setup the ability to use for nintendo switch, PlayStation, PC and mobile is what makes this headset a great one to own or a perfect gift for your kids, I would put the volume of detachable mic on software to the highest settings, the ability to swap battery is the major win when buying this headset, I think the price point is sitting right where it needed to be, my experience has been great the headset is comfortable to place around your head not too heavy, the sounds quality is very normal on what you would expect for a gaming headset.

This is just my opinion on the Glorious GHS wireless 2.4/Bluetooth over-the ear wireless headset + Base Base Station for PC, PS5, PS4 and Switch this is the first time ever that I know of for a hot swap a battery setup to which I'm very impressed with after downloading the software and firmware for the headset and setting everything up for them which was so easy to do via the clear instructions in the guide that came with them. I found out that this headset actually has two mic's, one that you plug in and the other one is built in which is a plus. The sound from these head phones is very crisp in my opinion as well as clear and being a person who is deaf in one ear and going very slowly deaf in the other this is a very important to me as I wear hearing aids one side is just a mic which sends sound to the other ear which then gives me the sound for both sides this is the first set of headphones that have not caused my hearing aids to squeal with the high pitch they give off when you first turn the sound on (feedback noise) so yes I'm very impressed with them. They are very lightweight and just like the video I saw after getting them you can actually twist them but I honestly don't advise anyone to do so as you could break them. The batteries come fully charged but I do recommend on putting the second one in the base station so you don't misplace it as well as keeping it charged the dongle to make it wireless also goes into the base station and it does pair with your blue tooth fast they with actually work with your phone as well. the only bad thing that I did find for a con with them is the fact of with using either the plug in mic or the built in mic when talking to someone in game or on discord you can't really be heard clearly and I noticed this right away when setting up and testing them in the discord settings and what I heard was in fact cutting out and kind of popping sound. If your a streamer and you talk a lot it tends make thing hard on you and I talk a lot when gaming even though I don't stream yet but someday it will happen lol. The items this comes with are two batteries, the base station, a dongle the headset and a wired cord so you can turn them into a wired headset. I personally can say that these are well worth every penny you spend on them and are a 100% get even with the cons I have mentioned

The Glorious GHS Wireless "InfinityPlay" gaming headset isn't as unique of an idea as you would think. One of the reasons these really come to the forefront, is the affordability, compared to other brands that quite frankly aren't that much better than these. The box is a little heavy, but not from what you'd initially think. The headphones are surprisingly lightweight, giving you the luxury and comfort of having those late-night gaming sessions, without missing a beat. The weight actually comes from the accessories. Things like the 2 rechargeable lithium batteries with up to 85 hrs. of continuous power. A charging dock, for aforementioned batteries, dongles for PC use and console use. And then there's the detachable boom mic. It is of optional use, but I personally think it's a recommended use. And finally, you get 2 charging cables. We're not gonna talk about the booklet. My time using this headset is a hit or miss scenario. While I do like the comfort and longevity, I'm not crazy about the sound. Even though the boom mic has integrated noise cancelling, the drivers don't seem to muffle my background very much, at all. My viewers (while streaming) gave constant feedback on how quiet I sounded to them, vs using my previous headset. I'm sure all of this can be improved upon, through possible software updates. I do look forward to doing streaming marathons, and I enjoy taking calls on them. Plus, music is pretty decent, coming out of the 40mm drivers. Plus, you won't miss anything, while changing batteries, thanks to the internal battery that holds a charge, while you swap out for a fresh battery. The hard truth is, there are other options out there, for long lasting gaming sessions. But do they really compare to what you're looking at, right now? Well, if you're looking for decent pair of Bluetooth, that can function as your daily driver and still come home to give you hours uninterrupted game-play, these could be what you're looking for. I do recommend using these in cool environments. You don't want to sweat these out. I'm hoping for a possible software update. That will firmly place these as must-have headphones, for sure. Just take into account, those qualms. If that's not a deal breaker for you, these are exactly what you're looking for.

The Glorious GHS InfinitePlay arrived nicely packaged and had me excited to try them out. They sit comfortably on my head and remain comfortable even during extended gaming sessions. The ear pads feel really soft and don't squeeze my head or put pressure on & around my ears even though I have a large dome.. They're rather light weight which also makes a positive impression because you barely notice the headset after a while, which is great. Setup is very easy: simply plug them in with a 3.5 mm jack or the provided usb dongle and you're ready to go. Also included is a detachable microphone, which is a perk & completely sufficient for Discord or in-game chat and transmits voices in a clear & understandable way. The gamechanger is when it comes to battery life & charging, no more plugging in a cord after every gamning session. You get two swappable battery packs, Glorious claims they are rated for 85 hours of play however I have not had them long enough to test this out. One battery sits in the included charging base charging up while the other powers your session, so you rotate them instead of tethering the headset to a cable overnight. This is possible without ever losing a connection because there is a third battery built in to the headphones that supplies power while you swap the batteries, it's great! When it comes to the sound there will always be the audiophiles that will complain because they are not perfect but I find them to be quality devices. The sound sometimes can seem a small bit tinny and not quite as full as I would have liked but this is minor & only noticeable when playing certain music or bass-heavy games. I think the sound is great for normal gaming, voice chat and everyday use. In my opinion the only thing that would possibly keep me from purchasing would be price since they are above $200 but if you can afford them you will be happy with the purchase. I have enjoyed them & have gotten quite a bit of use from them since they arrived.

The Glorious line up has seem to offer a decent variety in their line up in the way of gaming keyboards and mice. With their recent entry in to the headphone market it really begs to ask the question, is the current market price worth everything you get? So lets talk about the basics. Out of the box you get everything you need to get you started including the charging dock with back up battery. First impression gave me the feeling of a really cheap composite build of the chassis. The unit felt cheap and flimsy and the only reason why i care about its make up is due to longevity. Over time, constant pulling and tugging of the headset wears it down and i have found that cheaper headsets tend to crack within the first year and i truly worry about Glorious ability to stand the test of time. There is a free downloadable software that allows for basic features such as firmware updates and EQ accessibility. Run time yielded about roughly 60 hours which really doesnt matter to me as you have a back up battery ready to go which helps prevent you from being tethered to your pc via a usb cable. Diving right in to the meat of things as to what makes this headset average is two things for me, build and sound quality. The build doesn't just look cheap it feels cheap even when you wear it. After 2 hours of game play my head was hurting. I have a average size head and ear cup fitment did not feel secure and i ended up getting a lot of outside noise bleeding in during my game times. And because good ear fitment was an issue this meant sound quality suffered as well. Playing audio deep games like COD left the headset lacking as it struggled to hit those high bass notes from explosions or gunfire. If your a lover of deep bass and impact felt through your headset then your going to be disappointed for sure. Im not saying audio is horrible im simply saying its lacking and if your a video game audiophile you will 100% be disappointed. Voice chat was great and very clear. My team mates heard me with no issues and not once did i experience any drop outs. The bottom line is this, is the dual battery with charging dock nice? You bet, it means you can keep gaming with no down time or without being tethered via a wire. Is chat crystal clear? Absolutely, probably some of the best sounding chat audio out there to be quite honest. But what makes it hard to give this five stars is the fact the build truly does look cheap and feel cheap and audio is average at best even with my EQ settings all set up. The only way i can see my self buying this headset is if its price point was $150 USD or less. Past that price point there are so many other heavy competitors that have been doing this much longer that offer much better quality.

I bought this headset as I had an Arctis Nova Pro Wireless that was fading. Simply put it was a lot cheaper and I love the battery swap technology. So, pretty straight forward.... Once I got it though, I realized I am not going back. This headset is more comfortable (sometimes I get that squeeze on the earcups with headsets and not this one) and the band on top does a great job (not sure why that is more comfortable than others, but seems to be). When I used my other headset I was swapping the batteries about once every 2 days. With this one, it runs at least a week! I think the battery lasts way longer than they claim! The sound is great, others comment on how clear my mic is (kind of surprising given what I used before) and the ear cushions are great. I thought I wouldn't like the detachable mic but I always have the mic attached so it really doesn't matter. Overall great headset and not sure why it took so long to get battery swap (and honestly true hot swap as I never again will have that 10 second disconnect that was so irritating) to this price point. Just surprised the bigger brands didn't come out with this earlier.

I'm new to the wireless headset game - I never wanted to spend a fortune only to have to worry about battery life or losing connection, so I've used wired headsets for work and play. I had previously purchased a Glorious wired headset and was impressed with the quality and features at the price point, so when I saw the announcement of the Infiniteplay I was intrigued. The early reviews were strong but I was still skeptical given the lower price point. My curiosity got the best of me and I took the plunge into the wireless realm, and this headset has not disappointed. The battery life is truly insane - I have a second battery charging in the dock but have yet to even use it. I have been using the headset all day, every day for work and this battery just keeps on ticking. For fun I swapped the batteries, and as advertised, it was simple and I didn't lose connectivity. They're also extremely comfortable, especially given the length of time I'm wearing them in a given sitting. Glorious is now two for two on audio for me - highly recommend this product!

I have a handful of gaming headsets, each with their pros and cons. Of course the more features the higher the price. I would consider the Glorious GHS as on the lower scale of the high end headsets based on features and price at $230. So what I like... + They are very comfortable. The ear pads are soft and fit well. The top band is super flexible and has suspended soft padding so it sits nicely on my head without a heavy feeling. + The sound is great, tilting the drivers a bit help direct the sound a bit better to your ears... maybe. + Wireless is boss! Nothing is worse than cables when you are playing a game. No more sliding my chair back and popping the plug from the jack. + Removable rechargeable battery that slides into slot in the right ear cup. A charging dongle and second battery come in the box so when you burn up the 85 hour battery life you can do a battery swap without having to open up the headset and while swapping batteries the headset has a bit of residual charge so the headset doesn't drop connection when swapping batteries. I think there are only a couple of misses or I'd call these perfect. - The mic boom is flexible but not enough for me. I can push it out but not get it out of the way. It would have been great to have a more flexible boom or one that pivots to mute. - The batteries are really snug to get out of the charging dock and the headset for a quick swap. For me it was a bit of a pain to do that swap, maybe because of my fat fingers. This might not be an issue in real use because I never game more than a cuple of hours a night when I get the chance. - I would have preferred to have one of the included cables be a bit shorter. I have enough cable clutter and I have no need to move the charging dongle more than a foot or so from my PC. - A volume control on the charging dongle would have been great. There are really cheap alternatives out there but if I have that dongle close by then why not have a volume knob. I have the GHS InfinitePlay hooked up to my Steam gaming machine (nope... not a Steam Machine but an affordable alternative running Bazzite) so I haven't played with the Glorious software to tweak settings. As is it connected via Bluetooth fine after a bit of messing with the Linux sound hardware settings but it works great now both with 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth. There are cheaper alternatives out there but these might hit decently in the sub $250 price range.

Battery life on these have been phenomenal. To the point the swappable battery is almost unneeded. It is great to have available for when you forget to recharge overnight. I have used these for 12 hour shifts 3 days in a row and never had to swap the battery. I did charge during my off time. As a test, I swapped the batteries just to see that it works. It swapped without losing power. The headset holds enough charge to swap batteries and not require speed to do it. The sound is quite full. Worked perfect during my meetings. My coworkers could hear me without issue. The mic does a good job. The dongle for 2.4 works really well in the base or on its own. One concern is how to get it out of the base if the string that is used for removal should happen to break? Build quality is excellent. The weight is minimal when on head. I have a large dome, but these adjusted quite well and fit comfortably. I had one small issue, so take this as a quick trouble shooting. If your red light at the end of the mic does not turn on when muted, make sure the mic is fully inserted in the headset. I do wish the mic could be flipped up to mute, but that is a minor gripe. It is far enough out of the way that you really do not notice it. In game the sound is great. You can feel the sound, if that makes sense. Overall, these are great headsets that have a great build and the swappable battery is awesome so you never have to play with a cord hanging off your head. But that works too. A last warning...when opening open all the boxes in the box. There is a small yellow one that looks like it is packaging, it is the batteries. If I remember correct it is on the left side. Very easy to miss. The base and dongle I think were under a cardboard pullout. In other words, don't throw the box away until you know you have all the pieces.

The Glorious GHS Wireless InfinitePlay headphones are an amazing set of over the ear headphones designed to bring you into the game and enhance your audio experience for hours on end without having the hassle of plugging in. the set up is a breeze with easy set up instructions and the batteries are topped off and fresh out of the box so no need to wait for charging. the packaging boasts a whopping 85 hours of gameplay PER BATTERY! (which as of the time of writing I still haven't been capable of fulfilling to see if I could exhaust even one of these batteries.)While in hadn't they do feel a little flimsy, once on your head the cups adjust well and are snug enough to offer a fair bit of external sound dampening while still being light enough for extended wear. button placement and controls are very intuitive and easy to manipulate, and downloading the app on your computer to help set up custom sound profiles works really well to get everything just the way you like it for an optimal experience. Changing the batteries (should you need to) is a literal snap and takes a matter of seconds guaranteeing you never miss a thing even in the heat of battle. I love these things and they will certainly be my go-to headset for the foreseeable future!

I have used so many headsets over the years from beaches and their turtles to pulses and they're innovation. But these things right here are definitely a cut above. I've seen in the past where companies have added base stations and sometimes they make sense and sometimes they don't. In this case, it definitely does. Not entirely sure what technology goes into this, but it made a lasting impact of Sound. I play a lot of shooter games so listening for footsteps in the distance and which way is everything. This headset help me depend on exactly where the threats were coming from. Furthermore, the ability to connect radio frequency and Bluetooth is awesome. Simple to hook up. Easy to hook up and I connected it to my PlayStation 5 and the living room and my Nintendo switch and my gaming room. Both very easy and very simple to connect via radio frequency. Again amazing sound. I wasn't entirely sure there would be any drawbacks but I would say some of the connection is a little tedious and there's a lot of cords. The best part is the rechargeable battery. This unit comes with two batteries and it really is like unlimited gameplay cuz you never run out of batteries. Pick one up as soon as humanly possible. You'll never run out of battery.
