Steelseries arctics 7
Reasonably comfortable, reasonably priced (if you catch a sale about $100usd), good mic with monitoring, wireless, but most importantly: they just work. I’ve had the same pair for 5ish years and have never had to troubleshoot.
Arctis 7 was truly the best headset, I have three pairs at this point. None of them broken - all were purchased because the headset was so good I wanted one for the office and for my wife.
However, Steelseries seems deadset on making worse versions of the Arctis with every iteration. The 9 was altogether disappointing and they are really trying to force all the features like the chat mix into Sonar software instead. Really disappointing.
Yeah. I've got an Artist Pro Wireless, and Sonar stuff has screwed it up in weird ways
I have a pair of these and I absolutely love them, so much so I convinced a few others to get them too.
Two of us have since had mic issues over he last couple of years where the mic is garbled and not clear. Not sure if it's a uemser error or issue with them.
Other than that they have good batter, good ange from base, easy to setup, good audio quality, good controls, don't weigh too much. Would buy again.
I've had mine for years and I really like them. The stupid band thing is all stretched out, and the poorly designed power button snapped internally so I had to drill a hole in the casing to turn them on now but otherwise working great!
I wish they had USB C.
