I use the steelseries arctis 7 (I think, it's the non-pro version). It works great in Endeavor and is very simple. I don't think I can tell how much charge the battery has but I charge it every night so that's not an issue. Highly recommend buying a magnetic USB cord for it.
I was looking into these but it mentions software a lot in the reviews as in you must use the software to ensure good audio quality. Is this true? How long have you had them?
I was also looking into the Logitech Astro A30
I've had mine for at least 5 years, probably more. You don't need any software on Linux, it's picked up as a normal USB audio device:
SteelSeries ApS SteelSeries Arctis 7I'm no audiophile, but audio quality is great. I had the Logitech G930 before and I like this better. The one USB device actually presents 2 audio devices to the computer because it has this neat dial that lets you mix your game sound and chat sounds right on the headset.I have the Arctis 7 as well and the default EQ sounds just fine, although I do prefer the Bass Boost. You can run the software inside a Windows VM, passthrough the USB dongle and configure all your settings as well. They get saved into the headset and work just fine in Linux without Linux native software.
Oh I didn’t know it saves settings to the headset itself. That would come in handy.
