# Acer Gaming Headset, Aluminium Frame vs Acer HDMI to USB 3.0 Capture Card

Both are picks from our guide: Best Acer Gaming Headsets and the $20 Acer Capture Card (https://omorp.com/guides/audio/best-acer-gaming-headsets).

## Acer Gaming Headset, Aluminium Frame

Our rating: 7.6 out of 10.

Best for: Long wired sessions, with a metal headband and a detachable boom.

The Acer Gaming Headset with Aluminium Frame is the comfortable one: a metal headband that does not creak, bigger pads, and a boom that detaches so the headset works as headphones. It is wired over 3.5 mm, so it runs on any controller or PC with no battery to manage.

At about $80 it is the most expensive Acer headset and competes with wired headsets from HyperX and SteelSeries that have thousands of reviews. Owners rate it 4.1 across about 145 reviews.

## Acer HDMI to USB 3.0 Capture Card

Our rating: 7.7 out of 10.

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.
