I recommend Corsair HS80 Max. The other suggestions are good too, I just have the Corsairs and they're nice.

Corsair hs80 Max pro is the best wireless Headset

Corsair HS 80 has the best microphone I've ever heard on a headset. It matches normal usb mics. However, DO NOT GET THE HS 80 MAX! They used the high bandwidth on the audio rather than the mic on the new hs 80 max. The hs 80 max has a terrible mic due to the reduction in bandwidth.

I use a Corsair hs80 max and it’s great, awesome audio and a good mic but it’s also a huge pain in the ass sometimes. It might just be an issue with my pc but it likes to forget that it’s connected sometime

I have heard a lot of good things about the Astro A50 Gen 5! There is a more expensive variant (A50X) but the only difference is the dock and some minor cosmetic differences. Defo give them a look! They can be a little pricy though Logitech Aurora headset is also quite good, but the mic is a little lacking. But the audio quality is nice and they are comfy! I only used them momentarily at an acquaintances home, but they seem to enjoy them. I would personally steer clear of Corsair and Razer. Pretty much everyone in my circle has had nothing but bad luck with their peripherals :') My Corsair headset (Virtuoso SE) I've had to RMA twice, and my friends Razer Kraken Kitty headset broke within a month. If you get lucky with the Virtuoso, they are really good. But Corsairs iCue software is terrible and I don't like how they sound without some heavy EQ tweaking. Similarly, the HS80 Max is comfy and has stellar audio & mic quality, but the build quality has seemed very inconsistent (my partner had to RMA his pair once already and has owned them for 6 months). The upside is that they seem to work well without iCue as opposed to the Virtuoso.

While I don't reeeally recommend either for their sound quality, Corsair HS80 Max and Corsair Virtuoso SE are both comfy with glasses imo! The sound can be tweaked with EQ software but I honestly find them both to be a bit sub-par and tinny. Mic quality is great on both! The Virtuosos are a bit heavy on the head as they have a metal frame

Having a great headset is not going to make you a better player it will help with hearing certain sounds better. It would be better to just EQ ur current headset for Bo6 or Warzone (**GadgetryTech is best),** there's also ArtisWar, but ArtisWar installs to many applications. (ArtisWar also in my opinion is basically cheating) Just go for a Headset that you like. If you really want a Pro's Headset you will most likely be paying a arm and a leg for it they can get very pricey. \[Not like it matters, but I use the HS80 Max, it's very easy to hear footsteps with **GadgetryTech** Warzone EQ\]
