Acinaci might not be the first name that pops into your head when you think about gaming headsets, but they’re getting there, and fast. Much like how many budget-friendly brands try to pack in as many features as possible without pushing the price into “ouch” territory, the Acinaci Wireless Gaming Headset manages to hit a sweet spot between practical, comfortable, and surprisingly good for everyday gaming.

This headset comes with triple connection modes: 2.4GHz wireless using the USB dongle, Bluetooth for your phone or tablet, and a 3.5mm wired jack for literally anything else you might have lying around. Lightweight, comfortable, and tuned for gaming clarity, the Acinaci surprised me in the best ways, especially for its price.

There are a few areas where I think Acinaci could have made different choices, but looking at the price, I think they’ve made a headset that’s easy to recommend to anyone who wants something reliable for daily gaming.

Design and Build
I love some of the details that have gone into the Acinaci headset. Anyone who has used budget gaming headsets will instantly recognise the black-on-black colourway with LED lighting on the earcups to add a bit of game atmosphere. It’s not overdone, which I appreciate, and you can turn the lights off if you’re not feeling the glow.

The earcups are generously padded with breathable protein over-ear pads, and the flexible headband has just enough give to fit comfortably without squeezing your head like a vice. I’ve worn these for a few long sessions without getting that hot-ear discomfort that cheaper headsets can cause, which is a big plus in my book.
The construction feels solid, with no creaks or wobbly parts when adjusting, which is something I didn’t realise I cared about until I started using a headset that doesn’t sound like it’s going to fall apart every time I put it on. It’s chunky but not heavy, and it doesn’t feel like it will snap if you drop it on your desk mid-game rage quit.
The headset is well suited for glasses-wearers like myself, as the padding is soft enough that it doesn’t press the glasses into your temples uncomfortably, and I can keep them on without getting that weird headache after an hour.
Features and Controls
All controls are located on the earcup, which is where they should be. The headset powers on with a single press, which is a tiny detail, but honestly, after using headsets that require holding the power button down for three seconds while hoping you pressed it correctly, this feels like a luxury.

Switching between Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, and wired modes is straightforward, and the one-key mute for the mic is easy to access during calls or while gaming if you need to quickly mute yourself when the dog starts barking or your coffee spills mid-round.
The USB-C charging is fast, and with up to 36 hours of battery life, you’re not going to find yourself tethered to a charging cable constantly. I’ve managed to get a whole weekend’s worth of gaming and a couple of work calls in before needing to plug it in, which is honestly more than I expected.
Connectivity
The plug-and-play 2.4GHz dongle connects seamlessly with PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch while docked, providing a stable wireless connection without any noticeable lag. Bluetooth works well for phones and tablets when you want to take calls or listen to music, and the 3.5mm cable is there for everything else, including devices that might not support wireless.

Walking around the room or grabbing a drink from the kitchen while in a Discord call didn’t drop the connection, which is all I ask from a wireless headset. It’s easy to use, requires no drivers or additional downloads, and you can switch devices quickly when needed.
One thing worth mentioning is that Bluetooth isn’t supported natively on PS5 or PC, so you’ll want to use the dongle for gaming. I don’t see this as a drawback since most wireless gaming headsets use dongles anyway for a more stable connection.
Sound Quality
The Acinaci Wireless Gaming Headset uses dual 50mm high-precision drivers with a dual-chamber design, promising 3D stereo surround sound that actually holds up during use. The headset has a clear, gaming-focused audio tune, emphasising mids and highs so you can hear footsteps and in-game audio cues without the bass drowning everything out.
The bass is still present enough to give some punch when explosions go off, but it’s controlled, and the clarity in gunfire and environmental audio stands out, especially in FPS games where every sound matters.
I spent a few evenings testing this with some rounds of Valorant and Warzone, and it genuinely helps with positioning and awareness, which I didn’t expect from a headset at this price point. If you’re someone who also uses your headset for movies or music, it holds up well, but it’s clearly tuned for gaming first.
At high volumes, there can be a slight muddiness when there’s a lot going on, but if you keep it at a reasonable level, the audio remains clean and clear. For its price, it performs above average, and you get more than what you pay for in terms of game audio clarity.
Microphone Quality
The detachable noise cancelling microphone is what you’d expect from a headset in this range. It’s flexible, easy to position, and clear enough for team comms during gaming. It does a decent job at cutting out background noise, so your teammates aren’t hearing your keyboard clacking away while you play.

If you ever encounter the mic not working, check your device’s input settings first. I had an instance where it didn’t pick up, and it turned out my PC had switched to a different input device automatically, which is a common issue, not a headset fault.
The mute button on the mic is handy, and the detachable design means you can take it off entirely if you just want to use the headset for music or movies.
Battery Life
Acinaci rates the headset for up to 36 hours on a single charge, and while I didn’t track every minute, I can say it easily handled multiple gaming sessions and calls over a few days before needing a recharge. USB-C charging is quick, and even a short charge gives enough juice for a gaming session if you forget to charge it overnight.
Summary
I’m genuinely impressed with what Acinaci has pulled off with this headset. It’s lightweight and comfortable enough for long gaming sessions, the battery life is solid, and it connects to almost everything you might need it for without fuss.

The game-focused audio tuning with 3D stereo surround sound, clear microphone performance, and practical design make it an excellent option if you want a daily gaming headset that won’t let you down. It doesn’t try to do too much, but what it does, it does well, and that’s often all you need.
If you’re looking for a headset that’s straightforward, comfortable, and delivers clear audio without costing as much as your GPU, the Acinaci Wireless Gaming Headset is worth adding to your shortlist.
The Acinaci is available on Amazon.
