There is an abundance of good gaming headsets at any one time, and that was our main critique of the Glorious GHS Eternal in our review earlier this year. It's a good headset, but not special, and that makes it hard to stand out. However, with a tidy discount, it does become a little special, and it's worth a serious look now.
Over at Amazon, you can pick one up for yourself for just $40, which is a $20 saving. The only downside is that the black model is the only one available in the sale. The white model still fetches $60, and both RGB models are $80.
This wired headset offers pretty broad compatibility, with it working on PC, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation. Naturally, that's via the 3.5 mm jack, but that's still a lot of platforms for not much money. It's also got some solid construction, being sturdy and with a decent bit of bend to it too.
On the visual front, it's fairly understated, with the most vibrant part of the whole package being the orange 3.5 mm jack. The microphone is also detachable, which means it could feasibly serve as an out-and-about headset, as well as one for your games.
Our Jess says, "Beyond appearance and construction, this is a comfortable headset that sits securely and ticks the boxes for music-listening, video calls, and gaming."
The 40 mm drivers are more or less just okay, providing solid but not standout sound. There's almost no sound isolation, though, so you could annoy your housemates if you like your games too loud.
As well as this, the microphone quality is mediocre. But alas, you need to make some compromises when you are buying a budget headset, and the Glorious makes them in decent spaces, especially when you consider that price. The Corsair HS55 is perhaps a better budget pick when both are full price, but it's currently $20 more, so my money would be going to Glorious instead.
