Nova pro wireless. They’ve also got extra ear cups with a cooling gel in amazon if the normal pads are a little too hot or trap too much heat. I game the majority of my day because I’m retired and can do that lol. So I have my headset on a lot. I’ve tried many many different brands and such. It also comes with 2 batteries and the dock is a charging station. You just switch them out and keep on keeping on. They also duel connect, which I love. Sound quality is top notch.
I actually ran into this a month ago. I had Astro Mixamp Pro TRs for 8 maybe more years. Best headset I’ve ever owned ( up till now), went wired because at the time I played competitive Siege and a few other shooters. Now I don’t play PvP almost at all besides RL. Anyways , after much research I got the Steel Series Arctis Nova pro wireless and I’m loving them. The base station is also a charger and it comes with two batteries so you always have a charged battery pack. They have a lot more of tuning options when used on PC , but still have a lot to offer for consoles. They can work with any console. I used to just buy parts to my Astros when they went bad, but the company sold to Logitech and they in turn stopped all support of my headset. I didn’t want to drop money on new wireless Astros even though they are highly rated and recommended. Anyways that’s my very long and unnecessary story.
TLDR Arctis Nova Pro wireless
Almost all wireless headsets have crap mics. Sure there are a couple that are decent but overall if mic is that important person should go with wired.
I also have nova pros and they rock
I got the steel series actis nova pro wireless and its amazing. Has a swappable battery so no charging (no downtime) and you can be connected to 2 different sources at the same time which is awesome. It frequently goes in sale to up to 50% off.
Wired will always have better clarity amd quality. If you want wireless, arctis nova pros are pretty legit, has a swappable battery, and can connect to 2 different sources at once.
Bought these the other day, and boy do they hate any close 2.4g signal. So I would say it's not a great solution to use at a tv computer rig setup. 2.4g mouse and keyboard, 2.4g controller and of course WiFi in the vicinity. Tried turning off the 2.4g WiFi signal and using only 5ghz. But it didn't make a difference. Bought the audeze Maxwell to compare and those aren't having issues.
These don't sound bad, but I've had issues with the connectivity, some distortion when too many 2.4g signals in the area.
If you care about the features and want something that can handle multiple sources and don't have a ton of 2.4g signals around I'd get these.
If you care about sound quality, these audeze maxwell are some of the best wireless sounding headphones you can get right now, though used is about $50 more than these
Ya it's a BIFL for me. Mine came with 3 swappable batteries which should easily last several years. The base station runs off 2.4 and allows for 2 inputs, which is great for WFH. Range seems shorter than BT, though. Comfort will vary based your head shape and size but it's fine for me. The classic retractable mic and mute button are handy.
I was wary of the lack of ChatMix going in, but I don't miss it. Looking back on it now, ChatMix really only created confusion.
