Can verify that Arctis headsets are awesome. Partner has had the 9 for ages and it works like new. I have the Nova 5 for two years and I love it.
Buy an Arctis 9,expensove but I've only had to change the ear cups in 5-6 years.
I can wear my Steel series arctis 9 indefinitely because they are never uncomfortable. They never get hot either as they have fabric breathable earcups. I also have momentum 4 wireless which are almost as comfortable but not quite. But they are on sale at the moment. If you wait until 11/11 you can probably find great deals on whatever you end up wanting
I really like my Arctis 9 headset. It appears they aren't available anymore - I imagine the Nova Pro would be a great choice.
I have the wireless Steelseries Arctis for games and music and such, but get much more mileage out of [these](https://www.amazon.com/NUBWO-HW02-Cancelling-Comfortable-Computer/dp/B0DM7J2CVV); the sound quality isn't completely awful, works on PC/laptop/phone and cheap enough if travel becomes necessary I won't cry if they get lost/broken/stolen. Yah, they're wired, but I prefer the lack of fuss and worrying about running out of charge for wireless, etc.
Dunno what headsets you've been using but I'm on my 3rd SteelSeries headset since I've been buying them since 2015. First pair I bought which is the Siberia v2s (iirc) are still working beautifully and I use them with my PS5 when I travel for work. My second pair is an arctis wireless pair, forget the model, but they only got replaced because I was given my current ones as a Christmas present. Zero issues ever.
Steelseries arctis wireless sound great and they are the most comfortable headphones I’ve worn.
I love my steel series arctis, the extra battery it comes with on the wireless version to dock in the amp thingy is awesome and truly makes a fully wireless experience. Plus when they get to end of their life you can replace the batteries too
Yeah Idk my steel series lasts for like 8 hours and it comes with two batteries so I always have one ready to go on the dock... Voice sounds great. It's like anything else, some things are shit some aren't.
I liked the sound quality of the Arctis but the hinges broke after about a year. I ended up going with Beyerdynamics and they are holding up well.
