Hello, i'm looking for a new pair of headset because my current one is still working but it has some issues. I would like to replace them but i don't know which headset would be the best for me. I'm currently thinking about buying "Sennheiser PXC 550 Wireless". All reviews about these and other headsets are welcome.
The price doesn't matter as much because I will be using them daily I'm willing to spend quite a bit of money but probably not more than €300.

 

Need:
1) Good sound Quality when listening to music/youtube/watching movies/series.
2) Wireless (would be nice if I also could use a cable probably for charging but use the headset at the same time).
3) Long battery life (12h+).
4) Good build quality.
5) Active noise canceling.

 

Nice to have:
1) Good build in mic for meetings / when using discord / in game / phone calls.
2) Option to use cable (charge and use headset at the same time).
3) Button/touch to easily: lower/up volume, switch to next song, switch to speakers (could also be a shortcut on my keyboard. If someone has any idea how i could achieve this please let me know).
4) Surround sound when playing games like Counter-Strike Global Offensive would be nice.

 

Extra question:
My desktop doesn't have bluetooth. So a good usb to bluetooth adapter would be nice.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you are going to be gaming you do not want a BT headset, but a wireless gaming one with a dedicated wireless system.

 

BT has latency and forces audio quality to be trash "mono phone audio" anytime you use the microphone.
