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?

This is linux_gaming, any recommendation of Bluetooth headsets needs to account for latency. There's huge variance between models and the headset is only half of the equation, the transmitting Bluetooth device can have a big impact on the latency too.
