Suggestions for a wireless headset, anyone? (lemmy.world)

One of the challenges when it comes to switching gaming setups from the Windows world to Linux, is fully-featured hardware support.

The Xbox Wireless Headset + official dongle does a decent job with a lot of bang for the buck. However, It's not (yet) supported by XONE or any other driver. I can connect it via bluetooth, but then it just sounds dull - no surprise!

That's why I'm now looking for a new headset which is approved by the community. It must offer decent (surround-)sound in games.

I'm not sure AptX is capable enough. In LowLatency mode, it may sound dull again. But higher bitrates come with too much latency.

I guess LLAC would be the codec to go, but I lack the experience with it.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. I'm still on the tether.
