I made the mistake of believing some dumb guide online that recommended the Razer BlackShark v2 Pro for Linux. Literally the volume control is broken out of the box lol.

I just want a wireless headset. For listening to audio. And a mic. Don’t care for fancy features. Apparently too much to ask for a linux user.

What are y’all using and how is it working for you?

    I had an old Arctis 7 that finally fell apart last month after 8 years of heavy use.

    I got a new Arctis 7. It is complete garbage. Cheap materials, smaller to the point that it just doesn’t fit my head, my ears don’t fit in the cups.

    And instead of having it register two devices for chat and game you get a single device and then have to use their software to mix the chat, which is a nonstarter for me on Linux. SteelSeries has enshittified hard.

      This was my experience exactly. Luckily my old arctis still works I’m just terrified of the day when it doesn’t

        Do you know about HeadsetControl? It supports various headsets. I added support for the parametric eq for my Arctis Nova 5 a while ago.

        Not sure how chat mix works on Linux though.
