GHS Wireless InfinitePlay EQ Guide: How to Add More Bass with the Parametric Equalizer
Guides & Resources
Oct 14 2026
To change the GHS Wireless InfinitePlay EQ, open Glorious CORE on your PC, select the headset, and pick a game preset or build your own curve in the parametric equalizer. Raising a low shelf around 100Hz adds bass. Custom EQ saves to the headset itself, so your sound follows you to PS5, PS4 and Switch.

We tuned GHS Wireless InfinitePlay to sound balanced straight out of the box. Some of you want more low end than that. Good news: the parametric equalizer in Glorious CORE lets you push the bass as far as you like, and whatever you build saves to the headset. Here's how to do it without turning your game into a subwoofer demo.
Why GHS Wireless InfinitePlay sounds balanced out of the box
GHS Wireless InfinitePlay uses custom tuned 40mm angled drivers with a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. We tuned them so no part of that range shouts over the rest. Footsteps, callouts and reload sounds live mostly in the mids and highs, and a balanced tune keeps them from getting buried under explosions.
That balance is a starting point. Bass is personal, and the only ears that count here are yours. That's what the EQ is for.
What a parametric EQ actually does
A basic graphic EQ gives you a row of sliders fixed at set frequencies. A parametric EQ gives you three controls per band:
* Frequency: which part of the sound you're changing, measured in Hz. Low numbers are bass, high numbers are treble.
* Gain: how much you boost or cut it, measured in dB.
* Q: how wide the change spreads. A low Q makes a broad, gentle change. A high Q hits a narrow slice.
More control means you can add weight to explosions without smearing voices, or pull out boominess without thinning everything else. It also means more ways to make your headset sound like it's underwater, so go gently.
How to add bass to GHS Wireless InfinitePlay
1. Connect GHS Wireless InfinitePlay to your PC with the 2.4GHz USB-C dongle or the USB-C cable, and open Glorious CORE.
2. Open the Equalizer tab. Click GHS Wireless InfinitePlay in CORE, then pick Equalizer from the tabs along the top. The equalizer is still in beta, so the tab reads Equalizer (beta).
3. Open a custom slot. Hit Edit on Custom Slot 1 or Custom Slot 2. That's where the full custom EQ lives. Starting flat gives you the balanced tuning to build on.
4. Add a low shelf. Set the frequency around 100Hz and raise the gain by 3dB. Play something you know well and listen.
5. Adjust in small steps. Go up another 1 to 2dB at a time until it feels right.
6. Hit Save. Your EQ saves to the headset.
Tip: use the Test sound player at the top of the Equalizer tab to hear changes without launching a game.

One thing to know about boosting: EQ gain and volume share the same headroom on any headset. If a big bass boost sounds rough at full volume, take a couple of dB off the boost before you reach for the volume knob. If the headset also feels quiet overall, switch on Volume Boost first. Our GHS Wireless InfinitePlay volume guide shows you how.
Your EQ lives on the headset
Here's the bit that matters if you play on console. Custom EQ saves directly to GHS Wireless InfinitePlay, so it travels with the headset. Set it up once on PC, then plug the dongle into your PS5 or Switch and the same sound comes with you.
You set it once and you never have to open CORE on a console, which is handy because there isn't a console version of CORE.
Game Presets
Not every game wants the same sound. A tactical shooter rewards clear footsteps. An open-world RPG sounds better with weight behind it. Glorious CORE has five general presets: Glorious Mode, Music, Immersion, Voice Call and FPS. It also has game presets for Valorant, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Battlefield 6, CS2, EA Sports FC 26, Marvel Rivals, 007 First Light, Dota 2, Fortnite, GTA V, League of Legends, Minecraft, PUBG, Roblox and World of Warcraft. Hover over a preset to preview it, click to switch it on, or hit the plus to add it.
GHS Wireless InfinitePlay holds two custom EQs at once. The easy setup is one for your main game and one for everything else. That's a long list of presets for two slots. Choose wisely.
Treat the presets the same way as the starting points above. Load one, play a match, then nudge it until it sounds like yours.
