DO NOT get the Ps Pulse Elite. Dont listen to people. Not only do they break, but they are tight on your head, not comfortable with glasses, and they can flake. What do I recommend? STEEL SERIES ARCTIS 7P+. That is what I use and the 3d audio is AMAZING.

I've got a Steelseries Arctis 7+, it's the best headset I've owned and has a retractable boom mic

I agree completely, I got mine a week ago and I am so happy with them. I had SteelSeries Arctis 7+which absolutely sucked, terrible fit and super uncomfortable plus their software is garbage. I also had Sennheiser GSP600's and the Game Zero's which were better but completely blown out of the water by the HD560's. I paired mine with the BAM500 mic which is great but the cable is very short so I would suggest an extension if you get this. My ability to hear people in game has changed completely, distance as well as direction. My mate was joking last night that I must be using hacks as I could simply tell where people were like never before. He retracted that after I whiffed every spray and just died anyway.

Got my first Steelseries headphones around 2016, served me well until last year. It still works perfectly only the leather started to scrapping and the cat chewed the microphone (still works tho!). Bought a new Arctis 7+ wireless and I love it. Battery life and wireless range is almost unbelievable, sounds great, comfy. This is one of their cheapest headphones so I guess the expensive ones are even better. The only thing I don't like is the GG software but it's not a big deal.

SteelSeries Arctis 7+ has been serving me well for a couple years now. Looks a little nerdy if I have to be on a call with my camera on...but people know I'm nerdy before they see the gamer headset...

I've purchased 3 headsets specifically to play Hunt and here's my thoughts #1 Title Beach Atlas Elite Best sound quality I've used, hands down. There's no fine tuning since it's an older headset but it's never needed it. This version is wired and the wire has some issues so I'd go for the wireless Aero version if available. Build quality is flawed in one area and plastic will crack after about 12-16 months of daily use. #2 Razer Kiara Decent headset with a snappy double door wireless connection. It can be linked to with an app and it's adjustable. I use it for casual gaming because I couldn't get used to footstep sound distance no matter what I adjusted. #3 Arctic Silver 7 Just don't. Especially for the price. The sound is very small and tin-like. It's adjustable but bad bass rumble completes with the tin footsteps and it's impossible to hear any distinct sounds. They're also uncomfortable for too small ear cup size . Note: I was just looking at the TB Stealth 700 Gen 3 to replace my current TB in using. Since it has bigger drivers and just as comfortable fit I think it'll be the best headset.

I have the steelseries arctis 7p (Playstation version but works just fine on pc) I've had them for over 5 years now and have had absolutely no issues with them. Idk about other brands but steelseries gg/sonar eq just makes them even better. They are very comfortable as well and I wear glasses too! Granted, not all glasses are the same but that's definitely worth noting

I don’t have a lot of experience with wireless headsets but my gaming cans (steel series arctis 7) claim to have a 40ft range compared to the standard 33ft that BT connections have. These are over the ear though. It might be worth your time to look at other gaming focused headsets since they tend to have dongles with dedicated RF transceivers that can operate outside defined limits vs BT headsets. If at all possible it wouldn’t hurt to place the receiver for your headset (whether it’s usb c and RF or if it’s Bluetooth up high and away from things that can attenuate the signal. If you’re using a USB dongle maybe use an extension cable to get it placed in a more strategic location as well?
