Yes.. I use a philips shp 9500 for years, never want to go back to a "gaming headset" they make my ears vomit every time I compare to my Philips 🎧 but I haven't try gaming headset nowadays, the one I'm comparing and I still have it for occasional usage is steelseries arctis 1 wireless.. just because it's wireless and it can produce sound and bass that's it.

Pro82 juga problemnya sama 🤣 gw punya 2-2nya, yang Pro82 malah lebih sering kena bongkar karena masalah2 kayak kabel putus didalem, engsel bagian swivel patah (kinda crazy karena udah punya dari Pro82 dari 2018-2019). Iya port jack yang diheadphone dia ada locking mechanism sendiri (ngide banget lmaoo). Aga sayang karena kalo emang ngomongin suara sama comfort ini udah bagus buat range harga segini, meskipun suaranya tipikal V-shaped tapi vocalnya masih oke menurutku (comparable lah sama M50X/M40X secara vocal). Kalo dari headset gaming, pernah punya Cloud 2 juga (ini aslinya barang dari Takstar juga tapi yang Pro80), lebih nyaman Pro82/MH751 jauh, suara prefer di Pro82. Sama dulu pernah punya SS Arctis 1 Wireless sama Arctis 5 (versi Dota), tutup mata aja sih prefer Pro82/MH751 Kalo dari headphone lain, prefer Pro82/MH751 daripada Audio Technica M40X kalo cuman buat maen game aja karena M40X kureng nyaman juga, harus di modif ganti earpads dulu waktu gw masih punya. >kulit sintetiknya ngelupas Selama masih pake kulit sintetik bakal ngelupas kok, headphone apapun sih

I have the cheap Arctis 1 Wireless and they're so nice and comfortable. I have been using them daily for 4 years without many issues. I would imagine the higher priced ones must be even better

I went wireless for my Series X too because I kept snapping cords. The Turtle Beach Stealth 500 feels solid and works fine....but honestly I ended up liking the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless better.

Check out the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless. i think its under $100, solid positional audio, and comes with a USB-C dongle. Super comfy too. If you can stretch a bit, the Corsair HS80 RGB Wireless is great for around $130 with better soundstage and mic quality
