SteelSeries - Arctis 9 Wireless

I have an arctis wireless and an arctis 9 wireless and they have worked perfectly for years and neither have broken in any way

I can wear my Steel series arctis 9 indefinitely because they are never uncomfortable. They never get hot either as they have fabric breathable earcups.  I also have momentum 4 wireless which are almost as comfortable but not quite. But they are on sale at the moment.  If you wait until 11/11 you can probably find great deals on whatever you end up wanting 

I will add, range is fine for your immediate surroundings, but I miss being able to walk downstairs and to the end of the backyard while still in a call with the incredible range of the old Arctis 9s

Ergonomic, lightweight. Thanks to the spare battery, you don't have to worry about the charge level. And this is now becoming a must-have feature. ChatMix is one of the reasons I chose SS in the first place. It's definitely worth using and is a high-quality product. I've praised it so much, but of course it has its flaws: In the previous series (my previous headset was the Arctis 9), the ChatMix feature was built into the hardware, but now it forces you to use the Sonar software. The GG can be frustrating when it occasionally becomes unstable. It would have been much easier to charge and remove the backup battery from the charging unit inside the DAC.

Buy an Arctis 9,expensove but I've only had to change the ear cups in 5-6 years.

I went from logitech G633 to corsair HS70 pro to steelseries arctis 9 and then to meze 99 neos, I have the exact same experience as you, except I disagree on the argument that gaming headsets are for people on a budget gaming headsets are only OK for people who are DEAD SET on having low latency wireless at any and all costs, you can get regular headphones at pretty much any price point that will smash gaming headsets out of the water in both build and sound quality (the AKG K72 is absolutely amazing at like 60 bucks, I'd get those above any gaming headset I've ever owned)

I really like my Arctis 9 headset. It appears they aren't available anymore - I imagine the Nova Pro would be a great choice.

Steel series 7 or 9, the 9 might be a little more but it’s more than worth it. I liked my steel series so much I got the Nova Pro eventually. Absolutely 💯 a solid brand.

I have gone through all the premium/best-reviewed ones and the Corsair Virtuoso is the best overall in my experience. I didn't like the weird headband on the Steel Series Arctic line. For me it was not comfortable at all. I had a previous version of the Arctis with the little dock and hot-swap batteries, and I LOVED that battery switch feature.

Gaming headsets tend to be garbage. Buy wired from audio companies. I have Seinheiser 6xx with Audio Technica at2020 mic. Wired has no lag and doesn't run out of batteries If you really must have wireless I recommend steel series I have an old steel series h i use for PS5 and I was able to open up and change the batteries on. The mic on it is just ok and audio is ok but it didn't break on me. Also don't buy razor overpriced junk that breaks don't pay the cute tax.

Dunno what headsets you've been using but I'm on my 3rd SteelSeries headset since I've been buying them since 2015. First pair I bought which is the Siberia v2s (iirc) are still working beautifully and I use them with my PS5 when I travel for work. My second pair is an arctis wireless pair, forget the model, but they only got replaced because I was given my current ones as a Christmas present. Zero issues ever.
