Hi all,

So i'm gatvol for wired headsets, always grabbing or pulling somewhere.

Headset.. Hyperx Cloud 2

I did some research and don't see many wireless choices out there, limited to a few i could see online....
-Corsair Void Pro
-Steelseries Arctis 7
-Razer Man o War
-Logitech G933

Anything under R3500! I saw the Steelseries 800 but damn they are expensive.

If you guys and gals know of any other decent sets that won't rip you bank account a new one..Please share, or else which of the top choices would you go for?
 
Logitech H800

I like it cause it has a dongle thing and bluetooth. So I can easily connect it to both laptop or cellphone. And charges via usb like a cellphone

Should retail like 1.5 or 2

Doesn't have the chunky "gamer" look going though if that's what you're after (it is judging by your pics thus far)

Nah i don't like the extreme looks and RGB in a headset doesn't bother me much

Why won't it work?

There are multiple integrated microphones and these are some of the best headphones around.

You don't want a dongle as that restricts you to a proprietary setup and limits you to less devices usually.

Bluetooth is an open protocol supported by almost anything these days.
 
I have the voids,was 2nd choice next to the logitechs,but I dont regret the purchase

If your PC doesn't support bluetooth, get a dongle: https://www.takealot.com/astrum-bluetooth-receiver-dongle-bt040/PLID40725285
Near all devices with WiFi support Bluetooth, so phones, Xbox, PS, laptops, etc. will all work.

EDIT: SauRoN, just quoting you as in continuation of yours.

Actually sadly both the PS4 and Xbox One aren't playing open cards with Bluetooth access.

Even though the PS3 did.

But there is always hope it could work eventually.

But for the simple reason of using it with mobile phones and future devices I wouldn't buy anything that isn't BT.

And the Sennies are amazing.

That depends, proprietary do have the advantage of using specific codecs to transmit audio. With bluetooth you have to check if you headset supports codecs like aac or apt-x, otherwise you will probably default to sbc which is barely reasonable for today's standards.

Wow, didn't know that, don't have a PS4/Xbox, only used a pair with a PS3 years ago.
 
I love my Void. Range is decent but doesn't go far around walls. Can completely turn off RGB if it's not for you.
