If you want the best and are OK with weight and cost, Audeze Maxwell (I think there's a new version out). My personal daily driver? The Atlas Air. It's stupid light and comfortable, and open which makes the sound great if it's silent in your listening space... but also allows you to hear what's going on around you (I have children) more naturally than the audeze sidetone mode.

Got the maxwell from Audeze directly and the asus atlas air from Amazon on sale, i got it as a backup but i like it so much I use it nearly exclusively now. I've had a bunch of headsets over the years in the $200 to $600 range and these are my two favorites.

I have the Turtlebeach Atlas Air, which has both bluetooth and 2.4 ghz wifi connection. The problem with a lot of headsets using bluetooth only is the terrible game sound because windows wants to do handfree mode. But with the atlas air wifi 2.4 Ghz connection, the sound is awesome whether using the mic or not. They sound really good.

Atlas Air. Use the wifi (not bluetooth) connection. Awesome sound, good mike, perfect connection, and long battery power. Oh and: incredible sound.

Turtle Beach is fine if you avoid the Gen2s. Get a gen3 or Atlas Air or something and they are genuinely good headsets.

Atlas Airs are literally the singular best wireless headset under $300. And are arguably better than those because they are open back and have better comfort. The rest of their lineup isn't as good, but they have ok sound quality for a gaming brand headset and fixed the flaw in gen2s.

Epos+Drop is the best for wired. (H3x, H6pros) Otherwise Cloud III's or Turtle beach Atlas Airs for wireless.

Wireless and open back doesn't leave many options, so Turtle Beach Atlas Airs. Closed back the Fractal Design Scapes might be in budget, otherwise maybe the HyperX cloud IIIs

Atlas Air by Turtle Beach is the best headset I have ever used.

Have toy had a look at the Atlas Air. By far the best sounding (due to open back) and comfortable I have used. I’m 43 now and been through all the main headsets.

I say this on every thread - the Turtle Beach Atlas Air. Great sound due to open back, light and comfortable.

I avoided wireless headsets forever because they were all closed back and I don’t like the confinement of that. Well, they finally got around to making open back wireless gaming headsets and I picked up the Turtle Beach Atlas Air. The software and connectivity are a little bit shitty, but they sound good, the microphone is fine, and most importantly, they are super comfy. They have a really loose clamp force.

Big fan of my Atlas Airs. I am a sweaty beast so the open back is excellent. Comfy, good range and great battery life. Six months in and going strong. My only gripe would be I am not a fan of having to raise the mic to mute it. If anyone has an external mute button gadget they can reccomend I would love to hear it.

I have the Atlas Air, and they're pretty good. No issues but won't work wireless with Xbox. The Stealth Pros I had issues like mic and random disconnects, but the best sound for fps. If you dont want Turtle Beach, I recommend Hyperx Cloud 3 wireless S or Logitech a50 gen5 if you want all the bells and whistles of a gaming heaset along with an open back sounding headset.

Atlas Air I've tried everything but nothing works as well as these. They're much better than their price point. They're open back, wireless, great mic, beautiful clear sound, big bass.. they are so lightweight youll forget they're on your head.

As someone who's gone through every steel series, and currently uses Sennheiser momentum 4's for day to day life.. Your answer is Turtle Beach Atlas Air. Yeah, I know you're gonna say wtf to TB, but dude they've hit the spot with the Atlas's. They're super light, sound is fantastic, lots of bass, battery life is exquisite and saving the best till last... They're open back, audio cues are on point. Cons: lots of plastic, I don't know how you look after your headphones and if you get through sets regularly. I've had mine over a year, not a scratch on em I've gone through every headphone pairing I can think of, my last set was the pc38x which EVERYONE loves, however I wanted to make do without the wires. The Atlas's are better than those in every aspect. First set of gaming headphones I'm fully satisfied with. Edit: because they're so lightweight, youll forget you're wearing them. Stupidly comfy. Edit 2: I've reread my comment, I don't work for TB and I don't have a hard on for them lol but I feel you're in the same position I was in before I bought these. Tried everything, bought, returned.. I'm staying with these until they die.
