The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB is one of two headsets released by GLORIOUS in 2026. The brand is more commonly known for PC peripheral releases like the GLORIOUS Model O3 Wireless Mouse and GLORIOUS GMMK 3 Keyboard, and this headset is a relatively cautious first step into the gaming audio market, serving as an entry-level wired-only headset with rudimentary software features. Still, GLORIOUS manages to sneak in a suspension headband and, as the headset's name indicates, RGB lighting.
Our Verdict
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB isn't designed for sports and fitness use. It's a wired headset, so its cable can be a potential snagging hazard. Plus, the headset isn't very stable and will fall off your head after any kind of vigorous movement. That said, you can probably get away with wearing it if you use a walking pad at your desk while working.
Cable can be a snagging hazard.
Unstable with intense movements.
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB is mediocre for travel. The headset is impressively comfortable and has a 3.5 mm cable option for connecting to some modern in-flight entertainment systems. However, it doesn't come with a carrying case for safe storage and doesn't isolate you from low-frequency engine noise very well (due to the lack of an active noise cancelling system).
Comfortable and lightweight.
Middling noise isolation performance and no ANC.
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB is passable for office work, especially if you can control your environment. The headset doesn't have active noise cancelling, so it's not the greatest at keeping you isolated from the hustle and bustle of a busy bullpen. However, if you work remotely or in a private office, it comes with a great microphone you can use to take calls with. The headset is also impressively comfortable thanks to its suspension headband, lightweight, and low clamping force. And while its wired-only design eschews any battery life mishaps, the lack of Bluetooth multi-point means you can't monitor multiple devices simultaneously.
Clear and natural-sounding microphone.

Middling noise isolation performance and no ANC.
Wired-only, so no Bluetooth multi-point.
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB is a wired-only headset.
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB is good for wired gaming. It's impressively comfortable for long gaming marathons and supports both USB-C and analog connections across a variety of consoles, making this headset a flexible pickup for gamers who bounce between consoles for their exclusive titles. It also has a microphone that sounds great for calls on Discord or in-game voice chat. That said, the headset's default sound signature has a very exaggerated mid-bass that can overwhelm the finer details of emotional soundtracks or important sound cues in competitive titles. There's also an audible hiss, which may annoy you if you're traversing through a silent hallway in a horror game.

The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB has decent audio reproduction accuracy performance. The frequency response is smooth and doesn't deviate from the headset's boosted bass sound signature. The L/R drivers are well-matched for a consistent stereo image in typical content, and they don't generate any audible harmonic distortion. Still, you may find the sound signature's heavy emphasis on bass muddies complex orchestrations or songs with plenty of layering. To make matters worse, the headset only offers EQ presets via its USB-C to USB-C (USB-A with adapter) connection, so you'll have to use an EQ on your source device if you want to tweak its sound.
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB isn't designed to isolate you from noise. While the headset features an over-ear, closed-back design, there's no active noise cancellation system. As a result, the passive isolation provided by the ear cups only attenuates mid- and treble-range noise. Background voices won't be as loud as if you weren't wearing a headset, but the low-frequency rumble of construction across the street will remain fully audible.
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB features a detachable boom microphone with great performance. The mic renders your voice naturally and intelligibly and, when confronted with background noise, ensures you stay audible above your environment.
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB has sub-par frequency response consistency performance. Due to differences in bass delivery based on your physical characteristics, our frequency response measurements aren't the most reliable indicator of your listening experience. Still, you can expect consistent audio between wears if you take the time to adjust the headset.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB comes in 'Black' or 'White.' We tested the 'Black' version and photographed its label. You can also purchase a different version of the headset, the GLORIOUS GHS Eternal (non-RGB), though it's a different product: the non-RGB version uses a 3.5 mm jack exclusively, has no RGB, and likely performs differently.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB is an entry-level headset that, while not a clear winner against the competition in performance, provides consumers with another welcome option if the style or fit of other headsets isn't what they need. The wired-only GLORIOUS naturally can't offer the same mobility or flexibility of wireless entries like the HyperX Cloud III Wireless and the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (Gen 3), but it has the fundamentals down: it's comfortable, has a smooth sound, and a natural-sounding microphone.
Still, the GLORIOUS is somewhat lacking in customizability, even when compared to headphones with wired-only connections like the HyperX Cloud III. Both work with a USB-C connection, but the HyperX's app allows for deeper sound customization with a graphic EQ in contrast to the GLORIOUS's presets. Features aside, a potentially more glaring issue unique to the GLORIOUS among the listed competition is its default tuning, which features an exaggerated bass response. While you can EQ your way out of the problem on devices like a PC, console players have fewer ways to correct the bass-heavy tuning.

The HyperX Cloud III and GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB are both affordable wired gaming headsets. Each device supports USB and analog connections, but the HyperX have a more comprehensive app with a graphic EQ, while the GLORIOUS only uses presets. The GLORIOUS and HyperX are similarly comfortable to wear, but the GLORIOUS allows you to control more functionality like game/chat balance directly from the headset.
The Corsair VIRTUOSO PRO and GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB are both wired-only gaming headsets. While the GLORIOUS can be used with a USB-C connection, the Corsair are exclusively analog. As a result, the GLORIOUS has access to an app and active features like RGB while the Corsair are stuck with its default balanced tuning. You likely won't need to adjust the Corsair, while the GLORIOUS will likely need its EQ presets to compensate for its bass boosted default sound. If you have a larger head or wear glasses, you may also prefer the Corsair, since their audio delivery is more consistent between individuals with varying physical characteristics.
The GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB and Turtle Beach Atlas Air are both gaming headsets, but have radically differing approaches to sound. The GLORIOUS is closed-back with a very active bass response, making them a pickup for bassheads. Meanwhile, the Turtle Beach are an open-back with a bright sound and a low-end that rolls off quite aggressively; if you play competitive shooters you might find it easier to identify footsteps with this sound signature. Still, both are excellent options for gaming and have boom microphones that render your voice naturally and intelligibly.
The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 (Gen 3) and GLORIOUS GHS Eternal RGB are both gaming headsets. However, the Turtle Beach are wireless only, while the GLORIOUS is wired only. If you don't care whether your headset is wireless, the two perform similarly. The GLORIOUS is more comfortable and has more bass output than the Turtle Beach. But you can customize the Turtle Beach with its app (using the graphic EQ, for example) more than you can with the GLORIOUS. The Turtle Beach also work with regular Bluetooth on top of its wireless dongle, so you can connect them to your phone without a cable as well.
