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 got the $28 Nubwo headset and honestly have no complaints. Sound quality both in and out is decent. No connection issues. Has a mute button on the headset itself. Hasn't degraded at all. Battery lasts months. It's comfortable. The earcups breathe and don't make my head all sweaty. It comes with a tactile analog volume wheel, which I love so much!

How is the bass quality in your experience? I do also listen to music and would like at least decent quality

I'm not really an audiophile. It sounds as good as my ATHM50x.
