I made the mistake of believing some dumb guide online that recommended the Razer BlackShark v2 Pro for Linux. Literally the volume control is broken out of the box lol.

I just want a wireless headset. For listening to audio. And a mic. Don't care for fancy features. Apparently too much to ask for a linux user.

What are y'all using and how is it working for you?

I've just been using an old Plantronics Blackwire 300 since someone gave me several pairs of them. They are very lightweight and the audio is decent. The USB connection works fine on Linux. You can also disconnect the headset from the USB adapter and plug it into a 4 pin headset jack.
