Headset recommendation (lemmy.world)

TL:DR; What wireless headset do you recommend (obviously works well with Linux)?

Just finished upgrading my gaming rig and monitor. Got everything up and running (EndeavourOS and the usual gaming things). The last piece to upgrade all my stuff is a new headset. I would like it to be wireless (if possible), works well in Linux (if that’s even a “problem”), lightweight, good quality audio and microphone (lots of Discord talking). I’m simply not up to speed as to “what’s a good gaming headset”. What do you guys have/recommend?

Why not get a separate standing microphone like a Blue Yeti or snowball and have much better audio quality with no wires on your headphones and you are free to choose whatever headphone that you like?

Standing mic plus a Bose quiet comfort is top tier wireless setup. Or you can even use earbuds at that point.

That's what I did for my wife and no complaints yet.

A good mic is essentially "buy it for life," whereas wireless headphones are "consumable." It's much better to not have to find a good mic and good audio at the same time, just get a good mic and then feel free to experiment with headphones.
