Wireless Headphones (beehaw.org)

Any wireless headphones people would recommend?

I currently have a pair of Arctis 7Xs that I use the Xbox adapter with while dual booting windows - I'd like to find something that isn't so finicky and works with both OSes (mostly so I can boot into Windows less...) while also working over 2.4Ghz for low latency.

Bonus points if you can also connect a phone other Bluetooth

Any headphones that support Aptx LL will have a low latency when used with a hardware dongle. I have a pair of 1Mii E700 headphones and a 1Mii B10 dongle. The latency is barely noticeable and the dongle shows up as a sound card in Linux with no configuration needed. The headphones will connect to a phone, but will have the typical bluetooth latency.

Any recommended dongles?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 3 days ago

It looks like the B10 dongle I used is not available anymore. I can't seem to find any other USB dongles that support Aptx LL and Linux. There are several that plug into a headphone jack though.

I use Hyper X Cloud Flight Wireless with a USB dongle on both Windows and Linux, they worked without issue on Bazzite

No bluetooth AFAIK

I asked this recently and got fantastic replies:

I went with the super budget option and got the Nubwo (G06 I think?). I'm very very happy for the price I paid. Arctis Nova Pro Wireless appears to be the other end of the quality/price spectrum.

I use the one step down version of the Arctis Pro. Sound quality is OK being able to connect to my computer as well as my iPad at the same time is pretty sweet and I can move it over to my desktop and it works just fine which runs windows.

This doesn't seem to have 2.4Ghz connectivity? 🤔

@Anarki_ You are right - repeat.audio/en/product/prince…

I'm going to sound like a huge bitch but these don't have 2.4 either. OP wants wireless 😅

Either of these would work with a Bluetooth dongle for the PC though!

@Anarki_ What about these SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 steelseries.com/gaming-headset…

[–] ArchEngel@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 days ago

I have these and have quite enjoyed them, but the switch from Windows lost the Chatmix feature, which was very handy. Also, the mute button has gotten progressively more finicky over the years. Still would recommend though.
