Pulse is basically an overpriced headset. In reality, most of “gaming” stuff is overpriced because you put a “gamer” tag and suddenly something worth 100 bucks becomes at the very least 125 purely for the title. If you do not have problem with not using direct Bluetooth connection and just like Sony’s products in general, buy a WH-1000XM6 (if you have the budget) and it will do an incredible job. If you do not care that much about Sony, Sennheiser Momentum’s are quite great too. That said, if you still want a gaming one because you feel like you actually get an advantage out of it, I had an Arctis 3 Bluetooth since 2018. Only stopped using it because the ear cushion fell and it is quite rare/expensive to buy a new pair in my country, so I bought an AKG N9, which I use including for gaming and serves me quite well, but the Steelseries were pretty awesome, so if you want a gamer tagged product, get something from them and you will have a great product.
I use a cheap cabled Steelseries 3(?) cabled one. Good enough for me, but just like my old bose headset I had the glue in the earpads give up the same week and the headset becomes more or less junk.
The fit and smart headstrap design is very comfortable.
from my research- i mostly used reviews sites like reddit vetted-these are a few safe bets:
HyperX Cloud II/III just because they’re comfy and you don’t have to fight with software. nothing fancy, just works and the mic is serviceable.
the AKG K612 or Sennheiser HD560S. super clean imaging, great for footsteps and they’re not hyped garbage. you’d just need a small dac/amp but even a cheap dongle drives them fine.
also the Steelseries arctis wired models are still around and pretty chill. very comfy headband, decent sound and you don’t have to pray the drivers don’t explode
Arc Steel Series is another solid option. I have a wireless one I purchased for $100 two years ago and haven’t had a single problem. Crisp, clear audio and super comfortable too.
