That Arctis headset is great. The sound is quality is subpar for its price, the replacement band is hard to obtain, lateral pressure is sometimes slightly too low, but as a _headset_ it really is perfect.

The only two issues my older Arctis 7 is showing are that the mute button don’t mute anymore, but just heavily chatters, and that ChatMix dial(a second volume dial to crossfade Headset audio and Headphone audio), which is actually just an analog pot, is starting to build up carbon as well.

I don’t know why article states the wireless isn’t ideal. Thing’s maybe not YouTuber good but as good as an average mic.

I would argue against the boom mic style headsets because then you have something in front of your face which you can hit (BOOM) or brush if you happen to have a beard (WOOOOSH) and annoy the living hell out of everyone else on the call.
