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 have a Logitech headset I keep as my backup if some other audio things go wrong. It works fine, and I think there is a GUI application for the settings if I really need. My primary audio input/output system right now is an audio technica mic connected to a Focusrite Scarlett duo with both speakers and in ear monitors as output options. There’s a GitHub project to give you a GUI for full access to the audio interfaces full settings.
