Short answer
Between the Acer Wireless Gaming Headset, Flip-to-Mute and the Acer HDMI to USB 3.0 Capture Card, we recommend the Acer Wireless Gaming Headset, Flip-to-Mute ($49.99 when we checked it on 2026-09-14) as the better acer gaming headsets and the $20 acer capture card for most people. The same money with a 70-hour battery and Bluetooth for a phone at the same time.

Our take on each
Acer HDMI to USB 3.0 Capture Card
Best for: A console or a second PC into OBS at 1080p60, for $20.
The Acer HDMI to USB 3.0 Capture Card is a UVC stick: HDMI in from the console, USB 3.0 into the PC, and OBS lists it as a camera at 1080p60. No driver, no software. It is the same class of device sold under twenty no-name brands, with Acer's name and support behind it.
It captures 1080p60 and nothing higher, has no HDMI passthrough and adds a frame or two of delay, so play on the TV and capture the copy. For 4K passthrough, that is Elgato or AVerMedia money. Owners rate it 4.4 across about 90 reviews.
Acer Wireless Gaming Headset, Flip-to-Mute
Best for: The same money with a 70-hour battery and Bluetooth for a phone at the same time.
The Acer Wireless Gaming Headset with Flip-to-Mute is the newer wireless model. It keeps the 2.4 GHz dongle and adds Bluetooth, so a phone can ring through the headset while the console plays through the dongle. The battery runs about 70 hours, which is a month of evenings.
Sound and mic match the original. It has slightly fewer reviews and a slightly lower score, which at this sample size is noise. Buy it if the battery or the Bluetooth matters. Owners rate it 4.1 across about 120 reviews.
