I have been looking for a great wireless headset as well and every so often, I will think I found the perfect one as the reviews are so positive, then I start finding negative reviews and everything gets scrambled again.
The only two gaming headsets I have bought in the last couple of years are wired and those were the HyperX Cloud II and HyperX Cloud Alpha, yet I still use my speakers instead.
Away from gaming, I love my Sony WH-1000XM3 wireless headset (microphone is horrible though), but I was fortunate enough to get an early firmware version that had great noise cancellation where future firmware updates were widely hated for greatly lowering the noise cancellation support.
Trying to find a good headset is very difficult because the quality of sound is highly subjective depending on the experience and preferences of the wearer. What sounds great to one person sounds horrible to another. Same goes for the microphones on those headsets.
In the past, you just had to buy "the expensive" brand/model to get the best wired headsets, but these days, there are sub-$100 headsets that sound better than $200+ headsets.
Well, I just noticed I wrote high instead of hi in my original post. lol I've been on a roll with typos lately
Anyway, I do that too!! I try not to get too entangled in reviews but sometimes it is hard not to. It just sucks, because no matter what, you are usually left questioning your decision. 10 people love this product and 10 people hate it. Well, now what? I have a Plantronics headset for my PC that sounds and works fantastic. I really wish I could use that but no such luck with the consoles.
