Wireless Gaming Headset

So if you can't tell by the title, I'm in search of a new wireless gaming headset. I'm currently rocking the Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum, but the power slider is going bad, and 90 percent of the time only powers on one side of my headset. I've tried fixing the switch and cleaning it, but it's supposedly a pretty big problem across the line. I was looking at the updated G935 just because I've loved my Logitech headset, but since it has the same power slider, I don't want to deal with that problem again. I was also looking at getting the Steel Series Arctis Pro Wireless, but I can't really justify the price tag on it considering how many posts I've seen about the poor build quality not even lasting 2 years. What are y'alls preferred headsets? Anyone have a favourite that they can recommend? Thanks!

I... hate 99.9% of all gaming headsets. Anyways. Do you NEED wireless? If you do then the HyperX cloud flight or cloud 2 wireless are gonna be the best for the price. Read my post in my signature below if you want to know how it is to switch from a gaming headset to a "real" headphone. These 2 are exceptions since HyperX's headphones are reskinned from great already existing headphones. Instead of just some made up headphone made by a keyboard/mice manufacturer.

PM/DM me if you have any questions about audio.

I definitely do prefer wireless since I get up from my computer often when I'm in Discord calls. I do have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880s that I could use, but I doubt they'd sound all that great with the onboard sound card, and again, they aren't wireless. I'll check out the Hyper X stuff, thanks for taking the time to post! I saw a lot from you on other posts on the same subject haha.

If you are still needing help. I found this great article about headsets. Not all of them are wireless, but quite a few of them are. And they include an analysis on the technical specifications, sound and performance, design and build and the connectivity. https://www.audiostance.com/best-gaming-headset-under-100/
