Headset recommendation (self.linux_gaming)

TL:DR; What wireless headset do you recommend (obviously works well with Linux)?

Just finished upgrading my gaming rig and monitor. Got everything up and running (EndeavourOS and the usual gaming things). The last piece to upgrade all my stuff is a new headset. I would like it to be wireless (if possible), works well in Linux (if that’s even a “problem”), lightweight, good quality audio and microphone (lots of Discord talking). I’m simply not up to speed as to “what’s a good gaming headset”. What do you guys have/recommend?

I use this Asus H1 headset works natively with Endeavour and Pop OS both steam and discord works out of the box with no tweaks or configs needed

I'd recommend staying away from anything Asus due to their extreme enshittification.

Fully agree by today's standards I got these years ago

I remember when they were the "go-to" MB manufacturers. Why is every good thing from yesteryear getting eshitified so fast? It's a sad world we're living in.

Do you really only get 15 hours of battery life?

More like 10 to 7 depending on how heavy the use
