I am extremely rough with my headphones to the point that I'd always break the cable on wired headsets in a few months. Yeah, wireless isn't on par with wired headphones in every single way yet, but once I switched to Bluetooth, I was able to keep using my headphones for years at a time before the battery would give out. Add in that I can wander around freely with my headphones, and yeah, the latency is a pretty good tradeoff for my situation
The biggest issue imo is the microphone quality. Audio quality and latency have improved a lot over the years but so many wireless headsets still have garbage mic quality. The Logitech g pro lightspeed costs $250 and sounds worse than a $10 Webcam mic. I only went wireless after the razer blackshark 2023 came out. The microphone is by far the best mic I've heard in a wireless headset.
I've always used desktop microphones, but that's an issue I didn't even consider. Tbh it seems like most "gamer" headsets slap on the shittiest microphones because they affect you the least and it ticks another box on the product page.
my biggest issue with (my specific) wireless headphones is that the sound is shit when i am also using the mic. other than that, theyre fine
Ironically, if they were analog wireless, thered be no latency at all
I wish they made open wireless. I know you lose quality in wireless but I love the sound stage.
Grado makes the GW-100x and there's also the wireless Koss porta pros
Oooh! Thank you. Those are the first I've seen. Going to look into reviews and see if the GW-100x will work for me.
