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 don’t use their software suite – I can’t remember if it’s possible to get working on Linux, but when I used it on Windows I found it to be mostly a gimmick. I prefer the unfiltered audio.
The hardware is solid, but they’ve also got other options. I used to own an Arctis 5, which was also good. I think the drivers are just a bit higher quality in the Pro but I didn’t have sound quality complaints with the cheaper ones, they just failed after several years.
