Wireless gaming headset

I'm looking for some wireless gaming headphones. It's been a while since I've last looked, and the number of options is through the roof. 

 

Ideally I would like some which:

A) sound good

B) have a removable mic

C) don't look "gamery" /ugly

 

My budget is around £200.

 

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard they are good. Unfortunately, I just think hyperx headphones all look pretty terrible 😕 I know I'm being picky, just hope there is another good option. 

 

I'm potentially going to try and save a bit more for audeze maxwell, but if I can get good ones for less then why not look haha.

Really HyperX look bad? Have you see other gaming brands, some are true meaning of ugly.

But aside from Audeze Maxwell I'd look at Beyerdynamic MMX 200 they are cheaper yet not really worse.

I think it's the overly bright red accents and the logo. I'm not sure, just not a fan haha I generally think all "gaming" brands look terrible unfortunately 

 

Annoyingly ever since... Brexit... Its hard to get beyer in the UK. I was looking at the mmx 300s but they aren't wireless. Can't seem to get the 200s here.

Try their European site for purchase.

Saving for Maxwell is always the right choice, they're an absolute market breaking headset
