Headphone / Microphone Combo
Headphone / Microphone Combo
What headphone with microphone hardware do you have? I am looking to buy some soon and was wondering what the community uses.
Do you prefer wired? I feel that it is kind of rare to find wired stuff these days, but Bluetooth has really matured in battery and reliability.
Dont buy anything steelseries, especially an arctis
Thanks for the tip
I haven't found a bluetooth set that works well with the deck yet. Everything seems to have a second of lag in the headphones when on bluetooth, that I never experience with wired. I've used both an old pair of Samsung earbuds that cane with an android phone over 5 years ago, which worked fine, and my personal go-to pair of Turtle Beach earbuds, with detachable boom mic. I leave the mic in my case unless I'm using it, and everything works well with that setup.
Jabra Elite 45h, via Bluetooth. Use the same for work and the sound cancelling is nice. Also they are very comfortable, pair easily, and the battery lasts a long time.
I use the jabra evolve v2 65 because I had it for work, and the headset works great for the steam deck.
Battery life is amazing.
The headset can even be changed while in use, which has come in handy trying to game after a day of long meetings.
Not a gaming headset, but I just use the Pixel bud A-series I got for free when I bought my phone. They work pretty well, and I haven't had complaints about mic quality.
I'm using a pair of Corsair HS55 via Bluetooth without any issues. Got them on sale cheap-ish and I'm happy. Only used the mic when I've had it connected to my phone and been told there's no noticable difference between the headset mic and the phone mic.
Have you tired using the mic gaming at all?
I have not
