Astro A20 Gen 2 Wireless

The Astro A20 Gen 2 are decent for wireless gaming. They're decently comfortable and have very low wireless latency, so you shouldn't miss a crucial audio cue or line of dialogue in the moment. They also have a fairly well-balanced sound profile with just a little added bass, which should emphasize sound effects without overwhelming more delicate audio. Unfortunately, while their boom mic is fairly effective at isolating your speech from ambient noise so teammates can hear you clearly in noisy environments, recorded speech sounds a little thin and muffled.
