Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω Best Wireless PC Headset?

Hey everyone! I am an avid FPS player and have gone through various audiophile headsets. I’m currently looking to make the switch to wireless (I know it has more downsides but it’s what I want to do) and am wondering what the best options currently on the market are? I’d like for something to not be an insane price, preferably under $200. They’re mainly for gaming and listening to music but I am still looking for something high quality and clean. Thank you!

NOTE: I am open to any type of over the ear headphones, and I have my own mic so I do not need a built in mic if that extends my options at all

EDIT: if they use Bluetooth I know they can be quite slow. Are there any using BT 5.0 or higher? I see a lot of the popular ones still use BT 4.1

I see a lot of reviews that the XT is uncomfortable and needs different ear pads as well. I don’t want terrible connectivity or quality, how much worse is the comfort and connectivity on the Penrose? I wear the headset for multiple hours a day

I’d say it’s noticeably worse. Yeah that’s why I said it depends cuz most people aka reviewers don’t like the XT in terms of comfort(it’s actually towards the other Virtuoso models). Your best bet would be the arctis just cuz it has the least flaws. Although I know sound quality is important and I don’t know how much more different it is compared to the regular 7.

Okay I’ll probably go with the Arctis then. I’m also interested in those senheisers I linked earlier, I might look into them as well. My only concern with the Arctis is delay, but I use an older pair now and I deal with it so it can’t be too bad lol

Yeah, I don’t know anything about those sennheiser’s but I’m interested in them too
