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?

    Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. My biggest recommendation for wireless though is just to avoid Bluetooth. Get something with its own dedicated base station. Not that Bluetooth doesn’t work with Linux, but it’s just not the best tech and introduces a lot of potential failure points.

    I would recommend against buying any gaming headphones. I bought the Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless for $330 and a year later regretted it so much because I could have bought a pair of audiophile headphones that would have been more comfortable and given me much better audio quality and directional sound, and a separate microphone that would have been better for the same price.

    SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless.

    Plug-and-play on Linux, features a hot-swappable battery so you literally never have to worry about charging.

    It’s been a life changing headset. I can never go back.
