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?

Astro A50 that I got from work. It sucks, every once in a while it just refuses to work and I need to plug it into my wife's Windows PC to update the firmware to get it to work again. Audio and mic quality are okay, but that issue makes me definitely not recommend it for Linux users.
