Overview
- Hands-on reviews confirm the Guardian reserve keeps audio running during mid-session swaps and that the cartridge-style packs slide into the right earcup without requiring visual checks.
- The InfinitePlay is listed at $229.99 and ships with the headset, a detachable boom mic, two swappable battery packs, and a charging base that stores and tops up a spare.
- Glorious advertises long runtimes but public materials conflict about the exact number, with 85-hour pack claims shown alongside a 70-hour entry on the product page, leaving real-world endurance unconfirmed.
- Reviewers praise comfort, sound and the foolproof swap design but flag clear tradeoffs: there is no active noise cancellation, the built-in mic performs poorly, and the headset does not include a hard carry case.
- The design builds on Glorious’ Guardian idea used in its V3 mice and aims to deliver the uninterrupted-swapping experience found in pricier headsets, a change that could shift buyer expectations if independent battery and long-term reliability tests validate the company’s claims.
