I’m trying to find a decent wireless headset for day-to-day use. It’d be for a lot of teleconferencing as well as some gaming, music, and other normal stuff. In particular, I’m looking for a pair of over-ears, since wearing on-ears or in-ears for longer periods is uncomfortable (esspecially with glasses), want something with a fold-up or removeable microphone to prevent damage, and have a pretty limited budget: $200CAD, equivalent to about $100USD.

My standards aren’t that high for general quality, but I wasn’t finding much that met my criteria. As-is I was debating between the Logitech Vibe 100 (Seemed like it was decent all-around, and it comes in white or pink, which is a bonus) or the Corsair Void RGB Elite (mainly for the large ear cups). I know both these options are pretty gamer-y, which is usually bad, and the Corsair headset is ancient, but I haven’t really found anything that looks better. Does anyone have any better options?

Edit: The Logitech G733 also looks promising.

    I gotta disagree with you. I’ve tried the Arctis 1, 5, and 7 and they were all trash at audio conferencing - lots of complaints of static and audio cutting out from my clients. When I contacted their support they said that their headsets aren’t meant to be “business quality” and only to be used for gaming. I returned them and went Logitech.

      Sounds like there was something wrong with your audio jack. I’ve had stellar comments about all of my Steelseries.

        They’re wireless, so no, it’s not an audio jack issue lol. Other brands worked fine. Steelseries used to be godly in the 2000s but they’re trash now.

          Lol. Guess you’re just cursed. Lol. I have multiple styles, wired and wireless, and work perfectly on multiple computers. Lol.
