hello everyone i want best wireless gaming headset
Any recommendation for a wireless headset for gaming ?
I've had Hyperx Cloud Flight for probably close to 5 years, and had no complaints. The battery still lasts 20+hours, and the only thing thats happened was needing to replace the cups after 4 years due to wear, but it was super cheap and easy to get a new set
More on reddit.comShould You Get Wireless Earphones or Headphones?
Earphones (or in-ear headphones) offer a slightly different sound profile compared with conventional headphones. Generally, you get better sound from a full set of "cans" around your head than from buds you stick in your ears, but earphones now offer excellent sound quality. More importantly, they are much more appropriate for exercise because they are smaller and often at least moderately durable. Headphones, on the other hand, turn into a nasty mess if you start sweating. For our top exercise picks, check out the best true wireless earphones for running.
At this point, most wireless earphones don't have a connecting wire like earlier iterations. Instead, you get two discrete earpieces and a charging case. This setup wasn't always reliable, but you aren't likely to have any connection issues now. All of the earphones on this list are true wireless earphones.
If you aren't primarily looking for a set of wireless earphones for the gym (be sure to check the IP rating for water and sweat resistance), you still have to choose between on-ear and over-ear models. On-ear headphones rest against your ears but don't surround them, while over-ear headphones completely enclose them. The latter block the most outside noise and usually provide more powerful, richer sound, but on-ear models are less bulky and distracting to wear.
And if you're shopping for your little one, we also have a collection of the best wired and wireless headphones for kids.

I'm looking to make a significant upgrade over my thoroughly mediocre Razer Barracuda X wireless gaming headset — specifically with regards to audio fidelity.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but what I'm hoping to find is one unit that combines the sound quality of studio-grade headphones that would be satisfactory for the likes of an audiophile and/or adequate for professional video/audio production work, with the practical features and functionality of a gaming headset — or at the very least just the addition of a microphone — so that I can use them in that capacity as well.
I have not had much luck searching for guidance online. There doesn't seem to be any real consensus or a clear "go-to" product offering even for people who are prepared to just throw money at the issue.
Wireless is a must for me for the ability to get up from my desk and walk around without losing my audio feed throughout my work day or during long conference calls and webinars. I'd prefer 2.4ghz wireless as opposed to Bluetooth for the low latency while gaming, although it would be nice to have the option of Bluetooth as well just for wide compatibility with devices other than my PC. A generous battery life would also be a big plus (so I'm not losing power in the middle of a call or a match just because I haven't charged them in the past 12 hours), as would an on-unit mic mute button for the and/or a flip-to-mute microphone arm. All-day comfort is a also must, so a relatively light-weight, good ergonomics and high quality padding / ear cups are all big value adds for my needs.
I've taken at the Hyper X Cloud Alpha Wireless headset that's currently on sale at $150 for Amazon Prime Day, which seems to be loved by gamers everywhere, but while they would surely offer much better audio quality than my current headset, reviews on their sound quality are mixed, and I hate that it is only offered with one color option with its garish anodized bright red accents — not a good look on work-related video calls, and also don't match the rest of my setup. I'd much prefer something that looks and feels vaguely professional in straight black.
I also found the JBL Quantum 910 Wireless headset which is currently on sale at the same price point of $150, but doesn't look like they have fantastic build quality, and I'm again finding mixed reviews on their audio quality. Their integrated microphone also seems to be of very poor quality.
I've also looked into several Sennheiser headsets marketed to the gamer niche because I've been a fan of theirs after having been thoroughly satisfied with several other pairs of their headsets/headphones I've owned in the past, although a lot of the customer reviews seem to indicate that they're not even true Sennheiser products and that they've just licensed their brand name to another company to slap it on a family of middling-quality units in order to sell them at a premium price.
I figure that if I'm going to be spending at least $150 even for a decent headset with several apparent trade-offs in quality and feature set, I may as well adopt a "buy once, cry once" mentality on this purchase and go ahead and look into the even higher price range offerings to see if I can find something that will truly impress.
So what are some of y'alls picks for the absolute best wireless gaming headsets out there, that would make an audiophile blush, at any price range?

It’s simple. Don’t get a headset from a gaming company. Instead, get a gaming headset from a high end audiophile company. The Audeze Maxwell just came out, and if you know anything about audio then you’d know Audeze makes some ridiculously good stuff.
