Not too long ago I reviewed the Nubwo HG04L (the wired one) and I was honestly surprised at how good the audio was for $20. So when I found out there’s a wireless version that looks basically the same, I had to test it. In this video I break down the Nubwo HG04 and why, at around $40, it’s one of those rare budget headsets that actually delivers. I go over the connection options (Bluetooth or the USB dongle), and I really like that the dongle can do USB-A or USB-C with the included adapter. That makes it super easy for handheld gaming—like plugging straight into my Steam Deck via USB-C—while still being able to go “virtually latency free” on stuff like a PS5 using USB-A. I also cover the mic: it’s not some studio-grade miracle, but for casual gaming your teammates can hear you and that’s the point. The big takeaway is value. The audio accuracy is solid for footsteps and directionality, and you still get a decent bass response for explosions without everything turning into muddy noise. It won’t compete with $200–$300 headsets, but I’m hard-pressed to find another brand-new wireless headset around $40 that competes this well—especially when $60–$80 options aren’t giving you a 50% better experience.
