SeekerAstro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019
The Astro A50 are great for wireless gaming. Their wireless base station transmits audio with very low latency, and they feel comfortable enough to wear for extended periods of time. Their boom mic yields excellent recording quality and does an amazing job of isolating your voice from background noise. They also feature on-board controls for volume adjustment, channel mixing, EQ preset cycling, and enabling their virtual surround sound feature. They have companion software too, but there have been reported issues using it.
