So my old headset finally fell apart completely. I’ve been trying to find a fitting replacement, but man is it hard… so here’s hoping I can get some guidance here.

I’m looking for a comfortable wireless headset with decent reach and mic. That’s it. No need for ANC. Or at least the option to turn it off. Don’t need RGB or fancy designs. It seems impossible to find a headset that fits the description without being subpar quality…

Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I’m rocking a Beyerdynamic MMX 300 that I bought about four years ago now. Still going strong, but the price tag is steep ($250). Has no RGB, and the sound quality and mic quality are both amazing.

    I’m in love with my SteelSeries Arctis 7. It wasn’t as expensive when I got it years ago. But it’s still the only sub 200€ headset that I know, that isn’t made entirely out of crappy plastic, and actually survives more than 3 months (looking a you Logitech…). Sound quality is good for a gaming headset, while it will not be enough for an audiophile. Wireless quality is very solid as well. The software is useless bloatware but you don’t really need it. The really cool part is the elastic band on top. Really adapts to your head and feels super comfortable.

    I bought studio monitors and a separate microphone.

    DT990 Pro headphones and some random microphone.

    I just started researching headsets (with Xbox compatibility) and I’ve pretty much narrowed it down to Audeze Maxwell or SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro. Turtle Beach Stealth Pro also gets a lot of recommendations.

    They’re all in the $300–$350 range though so pricy. I’ll be saving for a while before I ultimately need to decide which one.

    I think all three do ANC but can probably be disabled.

    Logitech G993 had been great for me. Solid build and battery life, good sound quality, and even good hub software.

    EDIT: The mic literally just broke on me today. Turns out this is common because the soldering sucks, so extending the boom can break it. Seeing if I can get a replacement under waranty.
