Glorious GHS Headset Too Quiet: What We Changed and How to Get More Volume
Guides & Resources
Oct 27 2026
If your Glorious GHS Wireless InfinitePlay headset sounds too quiet, update Glorious CORE. The update adds Volume Boost, which raises maximum output, and changes the chat mix so game audio always runs at 100%. The left knob now sets chat volume only, and the right knob sets overall volume.
One piece of feedback on GHS Wireless InfinitePlay keeps coming up: it could be louder. We agree, so we changed two things in Glorious CORE. This post covers what's new and what to check if your headset still sounds low.
What we changed
Volume Boost
Volume Boost is a new toggle in Glorious CORE. Switch it on and GHS Wireless InfinitePlay's maximum output goes up. It resets the headset's volume scale to get there, so the extra headroom stays clean. The setting saves to the headset, so it stays on when you move to a PS5, Switch or Bluetooth.
A new chat mix
GHS Wireless InfinitePlay's left knob controls chat mix, the balance between game audio and voice chat in 2.4GHz mode. The game channel is now pinned at 100% all the time. The left knob controls chat volume and nothing else. The right knob still sets overall volume.To set it up, start with the left knob around the middle, jump into a Discord call, and nudge it until your squad sits just under the game. Then leave it. Turn Discord down later and your game stays exactly where it was.
Your squad stays audible, and so do the footsteps they're shouting about.
Step-by-step instructions are in our GHS Wireless InfinitePlay Volume Boost guide.
Still quiet after the update
Volume Boost raises the ceiling on the headset. If something earlier in the chain is turned down, you'll still hear a quiet headset. Work through these in order.
1. Check Volume Boost is on. Open Glorious CORE, make sure the headset firmware is up to date (firmware updates need the USB-C cable), and confirm the Volume Boost toggle on the My Headset tab is switched on.
2. Check your connection. Chat mix works in 2.4GHz mode. In Bluetooth, the left knob won't affect chat.
3. Check your device volume. Windows Sound settings, the PS5 Control Center, the Switch volume buttons or your phone's media volume. Any of them can sit below 100%.
4. Check the app. Windows Volume Mixer and in-game master volume both cap what reaches the headset. A lot of games don't start at full volume.
5. Check your EQ. A profile that cuts a lot of bass or mids makes everything sound smaller. Reset to flat and compare. Our GHS Wireless InfinitePlay EQ guide covers how to add bass back in.
Got a different GHS headset
The fix depends on which headset you own.
* GHS Eternal RGB: gets Volume Boost too over USB-C, plus the same chat mix change. See our GHS Eternal RGB volume guide.
* GHS Eternal (3.5mm): plugs straight into your device's 3.5mm jack and doesn't connect to Glorious CORE, so its volume is set by your PC, console, controller or phone. Push that to 100% and check the in-game volume.
Keep it sensible
Volume Boost gives you more headroom. You decide how much of it to use. The WHO-ITU safe listening standard uses 80dB for 40 hours a week as its adult reference level. Set it where footsteps are clear and leave the rest in reserve.
FAQ
Why is my Glorious GHS headset so quiet?
Glorious GHS headsets get louder with the latest Glorious CORE update. On GHS Wireless InfinitePlay, switch on Volume Boost to raise maximum output, and use the left knob for chat only, because the game channel now stays at 100%. Then set your listening level with the right knob.
What is Volume Boost on Glorious headsets?
Volume Boost is a Glorious CORE setting that raises maximum headset output by resetting the volume scale. It's available on GHS Wireless InfinitePlay and on GHS Eternal RGB over USB-C. Switch it on once in Glorious CORE, then use the right knob to set your listening level.
Does the GHS Eternal get Volume Boost?
No. The wired GHS Eternal connects with a 3.5mm cable and doesn't connect to Glorious CORE, so Volume Boost doesn't apply. Its volume comes from the PC, console, controller or phone it's plugged into. Volume Boost is available on GHS Wireless InfinitePlay and on GHS Eternal RGB over USB-C.
Does the chat mix change affect Bluetooth?
Chat mix on GHS Wireless InfinitePlay works in 2.4GHz mode, so the new chat mix applies there. In Bluetooth mode, the left knob doesn't balance game and chat. Use the right knob and your phone or device volume to set the level when you're connected over Bluetooth.
Turn it up
Update Glorious CORE, switch on Volume Boost and set your chat level once. Then follow the step-by-step Volume Boost guide for the full walkthrough.
