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 would recommend against buying any gaming headphones. I bought the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless for $330 and a year later regretted it so much because I could have bought a pair of audiophile headphones that would have been more comfortable and given me much better audio quality and directional sound, and a separate microphone that would have been better for the same price.

Yeah there's the Antlion ModMic which is quite good to add to regular headphones.

Yes I've heard a lot of great things about that one. I just prefer a normal microphone because it feels better to use for me.
