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 have the fairbuds as my travel headphones. Overall very disappointed with these. The mic sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (both on PC and android). I have replaced the shitty plastic pieces on the sides three times, and the fourth is already cracking.

They recently (end of last year) released a redesigned version. That is the one I got because I read about the issues you described beforehand. So I hope they learned from those, I will see...
