There is a pretty good deal atm on this headset and been thinking about getting my first wireless headset for a while. Am curious about how it runs on Linux, as I’ve seen some controversy on this headset on website that shall not be named, but that was 3 years ago now. I dont expect to be running their propriety software for equalizing sound - but would like to know if the headset performs as it should out of the box and if the additional sound system works well. If anyone has any experience with this i’d be more than happy to hear about it. Other headset recommendations welcome to (wireless though) :)

    I am regularly the first to identify the presence and location of enemies in multiplayer games with friends, purely based on audio. Using audio to outplay opponents on my 370s has been easier and more intuitive than on anything I’ve used before.

    The excuse that “gaming” headsets are “optimized” for footsteps or are improved by the “virtual surround” software they often come with, is bs.

      I completely agree. My game go to for this is Tarkov. Audio is so crucial in that game and I could not name the amount of times I could place exactly where someone was approaching from. Can’t say the same since I switched to the Steelseries. This convo is making me want to go buy another Sennheiser lmfao.
