Hello guys i am searching for a good headset for my pc.
It want it to be wireless as its very comfortable
To have the option to became wired if it has dead battery.
I would also love to have build in equaliser or simply to be able customise my sound as i have mild hearing loss , but the most important having quality sound to be able to hear as good as possible without too high volume to avoid damaging my ears.

I had a Razer Kraken pro and i disliked its bass. It was good for gaming but cr*p for music and hearing lectures.

I think i ll avoid gaming headsets as their quality of sound seems max average , and i ve read they re not so safe for the ears.

Some good headsets at the price range 100-175 i ve found are :

Sennheiser RS-165 & RS-175

Sennheiser RE-175

Sennheiser RS-165

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless (my mouse & keyboard are corsair)

Corsair Virtuoso RGB

Steelseries Arctis 7

Steelseries Arctis 7



You would be great help if you give me any other suggestions or your opinion.
Do not hesitate to suggest something not wireless or different from the above.
Thanks.
 
Best way to make a good sounding headphone wireless is to get a headset with a removable 3.5mm cable, and get a bluetooth adapter like one of these Fiio models https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FVN14FH/?tag=thewire06-20&linkCode=xm2&ascsubtag=AwEAAAAAAAAAAUXR&th=1

Or https://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-B...th&qid=1584233666&sprefix=tao,aps,238&sr=8-15

If you look at the left set of headphones it's what I use on mine

Solution
@hang-the-9 Thanks for the answer, i dont quite like the idea of having something hanging from the headset , but i if i dont find any factory wireless headset that with really good sound i might resort to that.
P.S. Nice sound centered built propably a studio.

You don't really notice the adapter hanging, maybe a tiny bit of extra weight. The benefit of being able to use it on any headphone with a 3.5mm jack, or in a car, or to make a speaker wireless is huge, if you play around with audio enough that is. You get a wireless headphone you are limited to that particular brand and what if you want to try another one?

Imagine looking to buy a flying car, you can buy one (or maybe a handful) specific model car with built in wings or a second option is to buy add-on wings that can be used on many other cars. Which of those would be more appealing?
