I’m trying to find a decent wireless headset for day-to-day use. It’d be for a lot of teleconferencing as well as some gaming, music, and other normal stuff. In particular, I’m looking for a pair of over-ears, since wearing on-ears or in-ears for longer periods is uncomfortable (esspecially with glasses), want something with a fold-up or removeable microphone to prevent damage, and have a pretty limited budget: $200CAD, equivalent to about $100USD.

My standards aren’t that high for general quality, but I wasn’t finding much that met my criteria. As-is I was debating between the Logitech Vibe 100 (Seemed like it was decent all-around, and it comes in white or pink, which is a bonus) or the Corsair Void RGB Elite (mainly for the large ear cups). I know both these options are pretty gamer-y, which is usually bad, and the Corsair headset is ancient, but I haven’t really found anything that looks better. Does anyone have any better options?

Edit: The Logitech G733 also looks promising.

    Have you looked into bone conduction headphones? I’ve had a set for about 3 years now and it’s still going strong. It has its pros and cons for sure, but I’m a huge fan. Mine is the Openrun Pro by Shokz. Maybe a hair beyond your budget, but should last really well for you

      I find the fit very nice, bit I would not recommend it for doing calls nor for having. Whenever I’m calling anyone with it, they hardly understand me. And for gaming is Bluetooth not the way to go if you’re playing any multiplayer games sadly, due to the used protocol when having speech enabled turning the audio in a mono shitshow. I find the audio decent enough when outside, but if you want to actually listen to music, there are loads of better options.
