hello internet. im looking to buy a new gaming headset. so I have a few questions because I cannot find the answers online.

Q1. are there any headphones that are wireless using a usb stick (like the Corsair hs70) and can connect to phones with Bluetooth? the closest ones I can find like this are the Arctis 3 Bluetooth and the Hyperx Cloud mix, but neither of these are quite what I want. I want to use it wirelessly with my computer and phone, but I want usb dongle wireless sound quality while using it on my computer. 

 

Q2. What in the world is the difference between the Arctis 3 Bluetooth 2019 and the Legacy version (amazon link to both) https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-All-Platform-Headset-PlayStation-Nintendo/dp/B076XCMXGV?th=1

 

Q3. Can someone tell me what the major differences are between the Arctis 3, 5, and 7? this info is surprisingly hard to find online. I mainly care about ways they can connect. which ones are wireless, wired, Bluetooth, usb or 3.5, stuff like that. do the three versions have any major differences in sound quality?

 

Q4. what are your guys recommendations for headsets? right now, I'm thinking about the Corsair hs70, Arctis 3 Bluetooth, or another version of the Arctis (once I actually know what the differences are. I'm trying not to go over $150. 

 

Q5. does the mic on the Arctis 3, 5, and 7 mute when it is inside the headset?

The Bluetooth one I bet quality is lower then the hs70 or arctis ……..

 

Grab a used Razer Megalodon 7.1 Virtual surround usb with pod.  You can adjust the front volumes and sides and rear..  and bass and what not.  Or you can get the Tiamat 7.1 and what not.
