Glorious GHS Wireless Infinite Play Review: Hot-Swap Battery Innovation

Introduction

Glorious made a name for itself in the gaming peripheral space with its gaming mice releases. Now the company is aiming to do the same in the gaming headset category with the Glorious GHS Wireless Infinite Play. This headset brings a genuinely fresh idea to the table: hot-swappable batteries that let you keep playing and chatting without any downtime.

The package includes a quick start guide, a detachable microphone, two USB-C to C cables, a USB-C to A adapter, a USB-C dongle, a charging dock, two batteries, and the headset itself. A white version is also available. With so much packed into the box, the GHS Wireless Infinite Play is clearly trying to stand out in a crowded market.

Design and Build Quality

The Glorious GHS Wireless Infinite Play weighs about 348 grams with a battery installed. That is not the lightest wireless gaming headset on the market, but the comfort department is where this headset truly shines. The ear pads use a classic design with cloth material on both the inside and outside. They are plush, breathable, and replaceable. The floating elastic headband and tension sliding arms add to the overall comfort, distributing the weight well across the head.

The clamping force is medium to light, which makes the headset comfortable for glasses wearers and those with sensitive heads. The ear cups swivel forward and lay flat, and the ear pad dimensions are standard with plenty of room. Most users will not experience ear pinching or contact with the drivers. The only minor complaint is that the tension arms can be a little loose, requiring occasional micro adjustments during longer sessions.

Build quality is solid for an all-plastic design. The headset does not feel cheap when twisted or shaken, thanks to internal dampeners that absorb noise. The swivel mechanism on the ear cups feels lightweight and may loosen over time, but overall the construction inspires confidence.

Features and Functions

The standout feature of the Glorious GHS Wireless Infinite Play is its hot-swappable battery system. Each battery provides roughly 80 to 85 hours of use, and the charging dock can charge one battery while the other is in the headset. The batteries are spring-activated and fit snugly, requiring a small tug to remove. They can be inserted in either direction, both in the headset and the charging dock, which makes mid-game swaps quick and effortless.

What makes this system truly innovative is that the headset keeps its connection and audio running even when the battery is removed. You can take out the depleted battery, grab a fresh one, and swap it in without losing your game audio or chat. This is a first in the headset space and a feature that many competitors are likely to adopt.

The headset also includes a game-to-chat dial, a microphone mute button, a USB-C port for wired audio, a microphone port, and built-in microphones. On the left ear cup, there is a volume button and a multi-function button for calls and media. The Bluetooth button sits on the right side, and the Bluetooth connection turns off automatically when the headset powers down.

The companion software offers profile management, voice prompts, an equalizer in beta, and a volume boost feature. Profiles and EQ settings can be saved directly to the headset, allowing you to cycle through them without needing the software. The software is still being refined, and a minor bug was encountered when switching between the boom microphone and the built-in microphones, but Glorious is actively working on improvements.

Microphone Performance

The detachable boom microphone delivers solid voice quality, especially when the input volume is set high. The software offers low, mid, and high microphone gain settings, along with environmental noise cancellation. The ENC feature does a good job of reducing background noise from fans, air conditioning, and keyboard typing.

The built-in microphones are a convenient fallback when you prefer not to use the boom mic. They sound noticeably less rich than the boom microphone, but they are perfectly usable for quick chats. The headset automatically switches between the boom and built-in mics when the boom is plugged in or removed, though the software is still ironing out some bugs in this transition.

Sound Quality

The Glorious GHS Wireless Infinite Play uses 40mm drivers with a standard frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. The sound profile is balanced and natural, leaning slightly warm without becoming muddy. It delivers a typical gaming headset sound: nothing that will blow you away, but nothing that will disappoint either.

For gamers who enjoy immersive titles like Destiny or Battlefield, this balanced tuning works well. It pulls you into the game without forcing an aggressive V-shaped signature. The equalizer in the software allows for some customization, but the overall character remains fairly flat. Users who prefer crisp, detailed highs may find themselves wanting more sparkle, and the volume boost feature is a welcome addition for those who felt the default wireless volume was a bit low.

Running the headset over USB-C provides a slightly more energetic sound, but the wireless experience is the main selling point. The volume boost, once fully implemented, may help bring the headset to life, but as it stands, expect a clean and natural sound that prioritizes balance over excitement.

Buying Advice

The Glorious GHS Wireless Infinite Play is priced at $230, which undercuts several competitors in the premium wireless headset space. It offers exceptional comfort, solid build quality, and a genuinely innovative hot-swappable battery system. The balanced sound profile and the software’s ongoing improvements make it a strong contender for gamers who value convenience and long battery life.

If you are looking for a headset with graphine drivers, app control, or a more aggressive sound signature, this may not be the right fit. But if you want a headset that never runs out of power and keeps you in the game without interruption, the GHS Wireless Infinite Play is a compelling choice.

Conclusion

The Glorious GHS Wireless Infinite Play is a headset that nails comfort, build quality, and innovation. The hot-swappable battery system is a game-changer, and the price point makes it an attractive option in the premium wireless market. While the sound quality is balanced rather than spectacular, the overall package is impressive. With continued software updates, this headset has the potential to become a favorite among gamers who prioritize endurance and convenience.
