Suggestions for a wireless headset, anyone?
(lemmy.world)
One of the challenges when it comes to switching gaming setups from the Windows world to Linux, is fully-featured hardware support.
The Xbox Wireless Headset + official dongle does a decent job with a lot of bang for the buck. However, It's not (yet) supported by XONE or any other driver. I can connect it via bluetooth, but then it just sounds dull - no surprise!
That's why I'm now looking for a new headset which is approved by the community. It must offer decent (surround-)sound in games.
I have a pair of Sony WH-H900N and they work fine over bluetooth. I use it for Hunt Showdown, in which hearing your enemy is very important. I can tell pretty easily which way another player is, what they're stepping on, if they're running or walking, if they're above or below, etc.
The build quality however is not very good, it always starts in noise canceling mode which I don't want, and recently it has started to try to deafen me by playing a loud buzzing noise at max volume. I'm careful now not to put them on before turning them on.
I've been looking at a pair of SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless to replace them but I can't justify the purchase right now.
