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?

You might want to consider VoIP headsets, too. They often have better sound and build quality than many "gaming headsets".

As for compatibility, I would expect any headset to work as long as it connects as a USB audio device or with analog plugs. Just make sure that any nonstandard controls are on the device itself instead of requiring special software.
