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 always vouched for fully separate headphones + mic for years, though admittedly that's probably less applicable for wireless preferences.

I swear by Sennheisers, currently using a Schitt DAC/amp, though offhand I forget the exact model of both. I used to stream and I sold off all my equipment except for mic RE20 XLR mic. I use an elgato stream deck plus with the xlr dock because funny knobs and buttons but their linux support is nonexistent and the foss alternatives aren't great, but it works.
