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?

I can second Hyper X for Linux. Using the USB dongle is perfect for wireless, as I dont like having Bluetooth enabled all the time. I only enable it when using my controller on my laptop. Headphones are great and not crazy expensive. I just wanted headphones that worked and they do exactly that.

Haven't had a single issue with my Hyper X Stinger headset across the distros I've tried (PopOS, Nobara, Cachy, Endeavor).
