I've been using a Corsair Void Pro/Elite on both my work and gaming setups for years now, no issues. I really like them. Eventually the ear cups wear out, but you can buy new ones from Amazon for cheap enough.
No, gaming headsets aren't 'bad' and for several years I used Corsair Void Pros not just for gaming but for conference calls as well - and they worked just fine with 'for gaming headsets' damned fine audio.
See what audiophiles recommend in your price bracket. The only advantage that "gaming headsets" have is that most audiophile cans are headphones (no mic). So if you want to talk to people you may need a separate mic.
I have an Audio Technica R70X and have been pretty happy with them. They're a little light on bass and pretty flat, but good sound stage and detail. They definitely benefit from. An external DAC / AMP but I did run them off of my mobo audio jack for a while. They are also super lightweight which is nice.
For reference I had a Corsair Void headset before. Detail and sound stage isn't even close. The Void was also massively bass boosted.
Ultimately it depends a lot on personal preference and the type of games you play. Some people play slow single player games and want to enjoy the audio. Some people play PvP games where they want to tease out every possible advantage.
I recommend a headset with a mic that comes down in front of your mouth. Things like AirPods (in my experience) or headsets without a dedicated mic usually have shit audio quality and let in a ton of background noise!
I personally use Corsair’s Void headset but anything by Jabra is pretty standard in sales
Ive had the Logitech G522 Lightspeed Wireless for about 15 days now and I got it cause my Audio Tehnica wired m30xs were causing major pressure. I am prone to migraines, and have glasses, i even had bought different ear pieces and still no fix. And have a relatively just sensitive overall feel for things especially around the face/head.
Ive charged these suckers maybe twice? I use them everyday. (Rgb off) the lack of wire is very nice so there no tug and the ease to even press the Lightpseed/ Bluetooth mode switch is very fast, it switches between my phone and my pc within 5 seconds. The microphone is almost if not on par with the Astros a50s ive heard? Its the best phone mic you'll get tho thats for sure.
Sound quality isnt as good as my sony xm5's ofcourse but for calls it does the job, and Pc use like games and movies is a constant use for me.
For glasses what ive had help is raising the ear pieces a little up, sometimes even over the ears by more than they should. Occasionally I do so, depends on how sensitive I am to pressure that day.
9/10
Friendly considerations ive used are corsair hs80s and their void headset. I only recently got a Logitech as my mouse is already and didnt want to have another program on my pc, also heard good of the mic lol and it was on sale.
