What's the best headset to use for both PC and console right now? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

So, I currently have a HyperX Cloud Orbit S headset that I’ve been using for both my PC and my PS4. It’s served me pretty well for a few years, but over the past few months the band has snapped and been superglued/reglued 5-6 times. It still works fine, but I’m getting tired of repairing it over and over, and feel it’s finally time to just get a new headset.

So, I need some recommendations

Ideally, I’d like a headset that has similar features to my current one but is wireless - at least on PC. The 3D audio feature is really neat, but I could live without it. Also, my current headset only works on my PS4 in 2-channel mode, as opposed to 7.1 surround on my PC, which is odd because the PS4 has 7.1 support. I want one that will work with surround sound on both platforms.

Mic isn’t really of any concern, as I use a separate mic on my PC and mostly just use my PS4 for single-player games

I’m not trying to break the bank, but I don’t necessarily have a set price point either

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The 880s are bulletproof, I daily drove mine for a decade (even back then recommendation was also audiophile headphones and a mic) before replacing the pads and modding them to have a detachable cable. I use a pair of DT1990 now with the same dekoni audio pads I used on my 880s, I keep meaning to get some other headphones for variety but I've honestly had no complaints with Beyerdynamic.
