Glorious’s latest headset, the GHS Wireless InfinitePlay, champions extensive battery life and versatile connectivity, prioritising uninterrupted gaming sessions over luxury finishes, with reviews praising its core performance and innovative features.
Glorious has built a reputation for stripping gaming hardware down to the parts that matter, and the GHS Wireless InfinitePlay follows that pattern with unusual discipline. TechRadar’s review says the headset is aimed squarely at players who want strong core features rather than decorative extras, pairing wireless audio with a charging base, two hot-swappable batteries and a clear microphone system for £199.99 in the UK. The result, according to the review, is a headset that feels deliberately practical rather than overdesigned.
The headline feature is endurance. Each battery is rated at up to 85 hours, while a small internal reserve keeps the headset alive long enough to swap packs without powering down. Glorious says that the base station is central to the design, both for charging and for maintaining the wireless link, and the company positions the system as a way to remove battery anxiety from long play sessions. TechRadar, PC Gamer and GamesRadar+ all point to the same core idea: this is a headset built around uninterrupted use, with Bluetooth 5.4, 2.4GHz wireless and USB-C wired support broadening its appeal across PC, PlayStation, Switch and mobile devices.
Glorious has also taken a restrained approach to audio hardware. The headset uses 40mm drivers and, unlike many gaming headsets that exaggerate bass and treble, TechRadar says it delivers a flatter sound profile that is better suited to positional cues in shooters and racing games. PC Gamer described the tuning as balanced and useful, with Glorious Core software offering EQ adjustment and mic controls. That software is functional rather than elegant, however, and TechRadar criticised its size and reliance on a desktop app instead of a lighter web-based tool.
The microphone system is another area where the InfinitePlay tries to cover more use cases than most rivals. TechRadar notes a detachable noise-cancelling boom mic for desk use and a built-in mic for Bluetooth sessions on the move. That dual arrangement is unusual at this price, and it helps explain why the headset is being framed as a multiplatform device rather than a single-purpose PC accessory. The only major omission is Xbox support, which limits its reach for console buyers.
Build quality and comfort are the main trade-offs. TechRadar found the lightweight plastic construction sensible for the weight, but it reported pressure from the suspension-style headband during longer sessions. GamesRadar+ was more critical, calling the build flimsy and noting that output could seem quieter than competing models, while T3 was more positive on comfort and materials. Even with those differences in verdict, the broader consensus is clear: Glorious has prioritised battery life, flexibility and value over luxury finishes, and that approach gives the InfinitePlay a distinct place in the mid-price headset market.
