I’ve been using the steel series 7x wireless for 3 years no issues. Sennheiser makes great wired headphones but the ear pads often need replaced. The steel series uses rf and not Bluetooth for wireless, so better, more consistent quality. But they are wireless and battery is an issue (I get two days between charges).

The old Arctiz 7's with the micro USB charging are probably the better option. The new USB c ones force you to use their software, which is a steaming pile of shite. To elaborate, old uses hardware to switch between audio channels, new forces you to use the software.

Steelseries 7p or 7x probably gonna be your best bet and finding them used will be even cheaper. There are others id recommended but there over 100

Quite happy with my Arctis 7X, but I don’t expect it to last me more than 3-4 years. I’d splurge for a Nova with ANC if I was buying today, though For me the biggest factor is comfort and the extra stretchy head band that is on these is amazing. I get pressure headaches when a hard band rests on my head too long.

I've had a Steelseries Arctis 7X for years now (and I'm a bit bitter they came out with a USB-C version a few months after I bought mine). I will be using this thing until it gives up the ghost and even then, only if I can't find the parts to repair it. The main downsides are that the battery life isn't amazing and, unlike other Steelseries headsets, does not have any hot-swappable batteries.

I use the Steeleseries Arctis Nova Pro and love them. The only other brand I'm familiar with is Turtle Beach, and both the Arctis 7x and Nova Pro have sounded a lot better than the Turtle Beach headsets I've used.

I bought the arctis 7x like a month or two prior to SteelSeries releasing the usb-c version and I was out of return window. I was so pissed lol. It’s literally my only device that doesn’t accept usb-c and I hate it so much that I just use them wired so I don’t have to worry about battery issues or even charging them. I can’t stand micro-usb.
