Introduction

Just a couple of weeks ago, I took a closer look at the Endorfy Viro Wireless, a sensible wireless gaming headset whose main selling point is a battery that lasts for weeks. Its launch was accompanied by a cheaper sibling, the Viro Infra Wireless, which brings the price down from €87 to just €60. At first glance, the two look almost identical, and the Infra even offers a few things its pricier sibling doesn't, such as wired USB audio, two built-in sound profiles, a lower weight and a more compact wireless dongle. But to hit that price point, Endorfy had to make some cuts, and some of them run deeper than the spec sheet suggests.



The Viro Infra Wireless uses a pair of 50 mm dynamic drivers inside closed-back ear cups, which hang from metal yokes. Endorfy advertises four connectivity options: 2.4 GHz wireless via a USB-C dongle with a USB Type-A adapter, Bluetooth, wired USB-C, and 3.5 mm analog via a supplied USB-C to 3.5 mm cable. The detachable microphone comes with a foam pop filter, and a dedicated button on the headset cycles between two sound profiles, Gaming Mode and Vocal Mode. What you don't get is the Viro Wireless' marathon battery life, its hybrid 2.4 GHz + Bluetooth mode for taking calls while gaming, the microphone's ENC noise cancellation, and any kind of companion software. The battery is rated for up to 24 hours over 2.4 GHz and up to 40 hours over Bluetooth, which is perfectly fine for a €60 headset, but a far cry from the Viro Wireless' 130 and 240 hours.
