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.

Hi i also play alot of fps like CS2 and PUBG. I have been using Sennheiser HD560s what i was really happy with but i really wanna test out some wireless headset instead of wired. So i tested: Turtle Beach Atlas Air. Most comfy wireless headset i have tried! But I had a problem with software and the gunshot were to loud so i returned them. Razer Blackshark V2 Pro (2023) Was more happy with but razer downgraded eq in the software and the older version of the blackshark you could eq little higher or lower hz. Also the best mic i have tested for wireless headset! So i feeled little scammed so i returned them. Asus Rog Pelta I was more happy with than Razer Blackshark V2 Pro and Turtle Beach. And they're very comfy but i struggled a bit to hear where enemy came from. Good mic BTW i returned them aswell don't really know why. Hyperx Cloud 3 Wireless the second most comfortable headset. Incredibly good battery life! The mic is good to be wireless headset. I have tried a lot of eq with Apo + Peace but didn't manage to get what i want because im a little to new when it comes to eq. But there is a lot good there.The software of the headset is not so good i heard you have to open the software sometimes to get headset eq idk. But i was thinking returning them because i was to used with open back Sennheiser HD560S. I have it a try for some days stock out of the box without eq and good more and more happy with the headset over time where i could hear where enemy came from. So i think u have to get used and eventually you get used to it. I think the headsett is worth it especially if u get discount. I bought mine for 174$ but saw discount afterwards i bought headset so i got refund and payed instead 97$. So im happy with it :) Sorry for bad english norwegian here :P

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

I use the DT990 Pro on my PC but recently I was kinda surprised for my purchase for my new toy, the Playstation 5 Pro. I bought the Turtle Beach Atlas Air and though I expected it to be mediocre the sound is far from that. I chose it because it's an open bank but to be honest I didn't expect much of them which would have been fine until I put them on yesterday. Well, for 140 Euro I couldn't be more happy with them.

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.
