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!
im very satisfied with the hyperx cloud2
doesnt have fancy lights, but its lasted a fair amount of time, has pretty okay quality and does look kinda sleek
I’ve been really happy with my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Max headset. Their reach is far better than the Razr ones I had, and I can adjust their volume on the headset itself if need be which is a really convenient feature when I’m not at my desk.

Sounds is great, mic is fine, battery is excellent, connection is great I’ve walked into my back yard no distortion.
I’m rocking a Beyerdynamic MMX 300 that I bought about four years ago now. Still going strong, but the price tag is steep ($250). Has no RGB, and the sound quality and mic quality are both amazing.
Got a price range you’re looking for?
I bought studio monitors and a separate microphone.
DT990 Pro headphones and some random microphone.
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.
Logitech G993 had been great for me. Solid build and battery life, good sound quality, and even good hub software.EDIT: The mic literally just broke on me today. Turns out this is common because the soldering sucks, so extending the boom can break it. Seeing if I can get a replacement under waranty.
