I made the mistake of believing some dumb guide online that recommended the Razer BlackShark v2 Pro for Linux. Literally the volume control is broken out of the box lol.

I just want a wireless headset. For listening to audio. And a mic. Don't care for fancy features. Apparently too much to ask for a linux user.

What are y'all using and how is it working for you?

It's less about the concept of a game-centric headset and more about the brands that sell themselves as "We Are Gamers" with angular shapes and RGB out the ass. Steelseries, Razer, Alienware, Aorus, ROG... I've had many bad experiences both personally and professionally. The only one I didn't end up regretting was Logitech G. The G502 mouse is a beast.
