"Return it. Get sennheiser hd 560s"
"Best wired headset you can buy for the money is the Snnheiser/Epos PC38x not super expensive ok mic great headphones for the money."
"Sennheiser HD490 Pro 👌"
"Pc38x, Tigr 300R, Audeze Maxwell. Or HD800s with a separate mic lol"
"I went on a headset/headphones journey last year, and tried about six different sets even audeze maxwells. I ended up with the Sennheiser HD 490 PRO Plus and I don’t regret it."
"Ended up picking a pair of Sennheiser 599SE on sale for like 90$ at the time on Amazon, open back headphones so ears don't get hot and by far the co"
"Sennheiser are great imo"
"Sennheiser Pc38x/ hd560s (same headphones)"
"I recently made the change to a Sennheiser HD599 ($99) open back headphones and a Hyper X solocast ($40) mic. I highly recommend it."
"Pc38xs are on sale for 140 rn. If headset is what you want you can’t get anything close to them for that price."

"I have my arctis 7 still after 6 years, I modded them to have a hotswappable battery, changed ear pads and headband a couple times as well."
"I been using a steelseries arctis 7+ for a few years now, only need to recharge it once every 3 days."
"Steelseries arctis nova pro"
"I effing love my Steelseries Arctis 7 headset."
"Upgraded to the Pro's now. They have swappable batteries which is an incredible feature."
"I use a SteelSeries headset. It’s got bluetooth and 2.4 Ghz, so you can get low latency, and compatibility all in one."
"The audio quality is surprisingly good for that price."
"I've been using the steelseries arctis pro wireless."
"I personally would save up to 2-4k and either get the HyperX Cloud (any variant) or the Steelseries Arctis 1."

HyperX
4.4
(11)
"Love my hyperx cloud 2s"
"I really love them. 10/10!!"
"The HyperX Cloud II is durable and provides excellent sound quality."
"HyperX headsets are still just about the best value you can find. $60 for a Cloud II is pretty tough to beat."
"I would recommend the Hyperx Cloud II Wireless. It's a great all arounder."
"Hyperx cloud 3 Wireless. I got them for 90 euros, was on sale though. But they are decent really, i'd recommend them."
"Better noice cancellation, but bigger earcups. And better sound quality"
"I've been using a hyperX headset... people always tell me i sound very clean"
"It’s a solid headset for the price. The sound quality is impressive for gaming."
"I assume they are better than most gaming headsets, but whereas I could always turn in the right direction with 850s, Hyper Xs often keep me guessing."

Audeze

"I’m very happy with Audeze Maxwell so can recommend that."
"If you really want a headset and are willing to spend the money the audeze maxwell are the way to go, good build, well known audiophile brnad, wireless, amazing sound quality and a great mic for about $300."
"I’m very happy with my Audeze Maxwell headset. The sound quality is impressive."
"The king of all gaming headsets right now is the audeze maxwell but its $300"
"Best headset for your use case: Audeze Maxwell."
"Amazing headset"
"Ive been using the Audeze Maxwell. For abour a year now. Its pretty good. Solid build construction. Heavy and the mic is detachable. Plus generous battery life."
"The only gaming headset worth buying is Audeze Maxwell, although its mic isn't good either."

Beyerdynamic

(7)
"Same here, i got a DT1990 Pro + ModMic, don’t want anything else."
"Beyerdynamic dt 990 pro"
"Had many gaming headsets in the last decade and now I have a DT990 and besides the fact that it is the best headphone I've ever had."
"Just buy beyerdynamics dt770 (closed) or dt990 (open), both 32 Ohms."
"770 will isolate sound coming out from your headphones. 990 will not, but the sound is much more open."
"A good pair of studio headphones like the DT 990 pro will absolutely do the job and is used by many pro streamers."
"Beyerdynamic DT770"

(8)
"For your use case the Quest 3 is really the best option for you."
"You should definitely go for the a standalone headset with pancake lenses, like the Meta Quest 3."
"Quest3. Pancake lenses make for a massive sweetspot."
"I can wear mine for hours so I'm happy with what can be done."
"Maybe the Quest 3 could work, since it has options to adjust for comfort."
"The resolution isn’t quite perfect, but it is better than working from a laptop screen."
"The Quest 3 is good for a few hours of productivity but won't replace monitors."
"The Quest 3's resolution is adequate, but comfort is a major issue for long work sessions."

Corsair
5.0
(1)
"I recently ordered a renewed Corsair Virtuoso XT from Amazon for $124. I'd have never bought it full price, but for this cheap, it was a no brainer.
