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?

    I use the steelseries arctis 7 (I think, it’s the non-pro version). It works great in Endeavor and is very simple. I don’t think I can tell how much charge the battery has but I charge it every night so that’s not an issue. Highly recommend buying a magnetic USB cord for it.

      I was looking into these but it mentions software a lot in the reviews as in you must use the software to ensure good audio quality. Is this true? How long have you had them?

      I was also looking into the Logitech Astro A30

        I have the Arctis 7 as well and the default EQ sounds just fine, although I do prefer the Bass Boost. You can run the software inside a Windows VM, passthrough the USB dongle and configure all your settings as well. They get saved into the headset and work just fine in Linux without Linux native software.

          Oh I didn’t know it saves settings to the headset itself. That would come in handy.
