I use a pair of Corsair HS80 Max , they use a USB dongle, and can connect to a Bluetooth device as well. They are the most comfortable headset I have used. They were $180 when I got mine, currently on sale at Amazon for $140.
Corsair HS80 max or virtuoso is my rec Don't get the pulse it has poor build quality and underwhelming battery life
Corsair hs80 max with some different ear cup pads from aliexpress
I recommend Corsair HS80 Max. The other suggestions are good too, I just have the Corsairs and they're nice.
Corsair hs80 Max pro is the best wireless Headset
Corsair HS 80 has the best microphone I've ever heard on a headset. It matches normal usb mics. However, DO NOT GET THE HS 80 MAX! They used the high bandwidth on the audio rather than the mic on the new hs 80 max. The hs 80 max has a terrible mic due to the reduction in bandwidth.

I use a Corsair hs80 max and it’s great, awesome audio and a good mic but it’s also a huge pain in the ass sometimes. It might just be an issue with my pc but it likes to forget that it’s connected sometime
I have heard a lot of good things about the Astro A50 Gen 5! There is a more expensive variant (A50X) but the only difference is the dock and some minor cosmetic differences. Defo give them a look! They can be a little pricy though Logitech Aurora headset is also quite good, but the mic is a little lacking. But the audio quality is nice and they are comfy! I only used them momentarily at an acquaintances home, but they seem to enjoy them. I would personally steer clear of Corsair and Razer. Pretty much everyone in my circle has had nothing but bad luck with their peripherals :') My Corsair headset (Virtuoso SE) I've had to RMA twice, and my friends Razer Kraken Kitty headset broke within a month. If you get lucky with the Virtuoso, they are really good. But Corsairs iCue software is terrible and I don't like how they sound without some heavy EQ tweaking. Similarly, the HS80 Max is comfy and has stellar audio & mic quality, but the build quality has seemed very inconsistent (my partner had to RMA his pair once already and has owned them for 6 months). The upside is that they seem to work well without iCue as opposed to the Virtuoso.
Having a great headset is not going to make you a better player it will help with hearing certain sounds better. It would be better to just EQ ur current headset for Bo6 or Warzone (**GadgetryTech is best),** there's also ArtisWar, but ArtisWar installs to many applications. (ArtisWar also in my opinion is basically cheating) Just go for a Headset that you like. If you really want a Pro's Headset you will most likely be paying a arm and a leg for it they can get very pricey. \[Not like it matters, but I use the HS80 Max, it's very easy to hear footsteps with **GadgetryTech** Warzone EQ\]
If you can stretch your budget. I personally recommend this: [https://ecommerce.datablitz.com.ph/products/corsair-hs80-max-premium-wireless-rgb-gaming-headset-white](https://ecommerce.datablitz.com.ph/products/corsair-hs80-max-premium-wireless-rgb-gaming-headset-white) I've been using this before I switched to Arctis Nova Pro wireless. Although i was using the non-max version. Pros \-Good sound quality and sound stage for gaming. Was using it for Tarkov and the footsetps are clear. \-Very good mic. I think this has the best mic out of all the ones I used. (Blackshark and Nova Pro are the other ones I used) \-May code na kasama for Dolby Atmos if I remember correctly. \-Super confortable sa ears at di mainit ang cup. \-The max version can be used for phone as well. Not sure if pwede simul connect tho. Cons \- Low Bass sabi ni gf \- Small battery time if you prefer to have the RGB on. Pag naka off, lagpas 20 hours.
That's a good question, but everyone perceives sound a little differently. I can only tell you that I'm very happy with my HS80 Max with Dolby Atmos. Of course, the Virtuoso has a slightly better sound, but it doesn't make my teammates' voices any better :D
Let's put it this way (even if some people will now give us the thumbs down): ICUE itself isn't bad; it would just be easy to develop software without errors. Then Windows would work without any problems from day one. The advantage of the HS80 Max is that it is a multi-platform gaming headset. This means that you can also connect it via Bluetooth and don't necessarily need iCUE.
