Had many many different makes of headphones. Over the years. As they all tend to break. But I got a set of steal series quite a few years ago now. And they are still solid and working great.i got the wired version but they do a wireless version as well. https://steelseries.com/en-gb/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro?color=black&connectivityType=wireless&primaryPlatform=pc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=steel_dtc_standardshopping_emea_uk_all_en_shopping_evergreen_conversion_mixed_dotcom&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23506699177&gbraid=0AAAAADmCu9qoWfH622ZF-c5CO4IX-crAh&gclid=CjwKCAjw14zPBhAuEiwAP3-Eb9WecR7bd8ku2UlpaF0GcKllvdPiuOaIBNIcFf3MvUXm1kjCeCA3ExoCGbUQAvD_BwE

Use them for exactly that. People always comment on me sounding like a radio dj compared to other people's mic. Mind you, the mic is just okay. But most folks on calls are on airpods I did recently get the Elites. They are better in every way, but I was happy with the pros. It's the only headset I know of that let's you run a line out so you can automatically use speakers when the headphones are off, as well as hot swappable batteries. Hope you enjoy.

Second this! I have a [Steel Series Arctic Nova Pro](https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro?connectivityType=wireless&color=black&primaryPlatform=pc) and I love it. It's very high quality, not all plasticky. If I have both ears covered, I can't hear shit around me, lol. I think the ear cups they came with are quite comfy, but I did still switch them out with a pair I found on Amazon, purely for aesthetic reasons. I have what I think are pretty standard sized ears but I have a lot of piercings; I've never experienced any discomfort with the cups. My husband has a pretty big head and is also a glasses wearer, and he has the same one - he finds it comfortable as well! The swappable batteries are my favorite feature. I wear this headset for over eight hours a day sometimes (WFH) and it remains comfy and doesn't cause me any strain!

Hi, so about half a year ago I bought the arctis nova pro: [https://steelseries.com/de-de/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro](https://steelseries.com/de-de/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro) Also I added these Ear Cushions (default are not comfy, these are super super confy for me) [https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BK5DTYT8?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title&th=1](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0BK5DTYT8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) Pros: \- has 2 battery packs, you can charge them in the station. (easy swap in 20 seconds max), you never have to put them away to charge them (if, obviously you dont charge one battery while using the other and have both empty) -- ALSO: You can buy battery packs online, for really cheap (15ish €) \- Connection holds outside of my room nearly to the end (around 20ish meters?) \- Im not a sound guy, but it sounds perfectly fine for me \- The black from the headphones + the white from the cushions look nice \- two usb input cables means you can switch around two devices in a few seconds (I have my PC and PS5 attached) \- you can have a main connection (PC) and connect it via bluetooth and for example make a call with your phone while having PC sound) \- has ANC but I dislike it/dont use it Cons: \- I heard the Software is shit but idk, I dont use it. \- kinda pricey For me they work, I heard for some they are too tight but I find them perfect after a few days of use.

A bit pricey but it’s on sale right now. https://a.co/d/b7Olfwr I’ve had mine for two years and haven’t had any issues. Comes with two interchangeable rechargeable batteries that utilize the interface to charge. No more waiting for your headset to charge.

Hands down agree with this guy I was actually going to say the same set of headphones because I'm wearing them Never died yes I am pretty good at keeping them charged but there's been a day where I forgot two days in a row and never had this issue They are so lightweight I forget that I have them some days and the mic just being a tuck away is so clean too
