I would recommend a pair of Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3’s if you’re looking to get a high end headset, on Amazon they’re $169.99 on sale, the PlayStation headsets are trash for longevity as in they literally fall apart but the wiring is good and the speakers still work regardless to their credit, my last pair of PlayStation one’s were the Silver’s and they literally fell apart from the adjusters, I had got a pair of Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 1’s and the only thing was that the ear pads disintegrated because they were imitation sheep skin, but I after those I got a pair of Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2’s which actually were an upgrade in quality because they moved towards memory foam ear pads, better drivers which sounded better and they’re still rocking, I gave them to my cousin and they’re working just fine still, I’ve moved on to PC and have a Hi-Fi sound system but for console I’d recommend Turtle Beaches high end (only high end bc they’re reputation is tarnished bc of their lower end $25-$60 range headsets) line up

This seems to fly in the face of what I see people say online, but I have had the same pair of Turtle Beach Stealth 700s for many years.

Depends on your budget, of course, but I have a pair of turtle beach stealth 700 and they're really good on Gentoo, 2 dongles, Bluetooth. There's an issue I have with Manjaro where the sound daemon doesn't pick up the device properly after it's been power cycled, and I have to replug the dongle on that machine. But I've never had that on my Gentoo box so I'm assuming it's either some oddity with that laptop or systemd being systemd again on that machine.

I switch between my turtle beach 700 stealth wireless and my Siennhieser. Both are wireless, over the ear cups so they don’t pinch or hurt my ears sitting ON, and they are eyeglass friendly.

I picked up a pair of turtle beach stealth 700 and they're pretty solid. I think I paid like 150, maybe less. Had them for a few years now with no issue

Solid mic, no complaints from friends about quality. As far as comfort goes, also nice for long sessions, especially if you wear glasses

I dropped the money on turtle beach stealth 700 series. Best headset I've used and durable. If you can, I would recommend it. They work for everything I've tried them with so far. Ps5 switch phone portal PC.
