Gaming headset

3 years ago by NotInTheFace to c/gaming

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 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.
