Gaming is still on the rise, as everyone—and I mean everyone—has integrated some form of gaming into their everyday routine. While handheld consoles like the Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, or the trusty Nintendo Switch offer excellent gaming experiences, adding a few accessories can significantly enhance your experience. If you plan on getting one or at least buying one, consider these items as well!

Sound is integral to gaming, and the JLab Audio Epic Air Active Noise Cancelling True Wireless Earbuds deliver a great, immersive auditory experience. Featuring active noise canceling (ANC), these earbuds block out distracting ambient noise, allowing you to focus entirely on your game. 

Their wireless design ensures no tangled cables, and the earbuds offer up to 24 hours of ANC playtime and 40 hours of standard Bluetooth connection—amazing battery life. 

 

Screen Protector

Please, please, please include screen protectors. A quality screen protector will protect your device from scratches and smudges that will become eyesores. Given the touchscreen functionality of many gaming handhelds, investing in a tempered glass or film screen protector ensures that your console remains responsive while adding a layer of defense against damage.

With these accessories, you’ll be well-equipped for long gaming sessions, immersive sound, and a well-protected handheld device. Whether you’re gaming at home or on the go, having the right gear makes all the difference, and you can get most of these items in your all-in-one hub– the Next Upgrade Shop
