Headset recommendation (lemmy.world)

TL:DR; What wireless headset do you recommend (obviously works well with Linux)?

Just finished upgrading my gaming rig and monitor. Got everything up and running (EndeavourOS and the usual gaming things). The last piece to upgrade all my stuff is a new headset. I would like it to be wireless (if possible), works well in Linux (if that’s even a “problem”), lightweight, good quality audio and microphone (lots of Discord talking). I’m simply not up to speed as to “what’s a good gaming headset”. What do you guys have/recommend?

I won't recommend a particular model, but I will say that my experience with "touchpad control" based headsets, as compared to ones with mechanical buttons and switches, has not been very good. Controls are unreliable and too prone to being bumped. Unfortunately, a number of high-end headset makers seem to like making these

I’ve watch a few videos that compare a few headsets and for the “lower” audio and mic quality ones, they usually say that with their tweaking software you can make it a bit better. I was wondering about it since usually those type of programs are made for Windows only plus I don’t really think I want something that I must use software to make better. Long story short, thanks for the heads up!!
