    You're not getting "top end" for $400. Maybe an Arctis Nova Pro is an option.

      $400 doesn’t get top end? - danggggg

      I am totally out of the loop for gaming peripherals it seems

      Damn, this one I saw got good reviews but this one is wired :(

      He said "top end gaming", not professional or audiophool. Seems like plenty of money for a toy :-)

    Not a gamer so can someone explain what gaming headsets have that regular ones don't? Would a Sony WH-1000XM not be good enough?

      I think latency and directional sound would be subpar for gaming.

      Rgb lights for a start which science shows improves gaming abilities **

      Interfacing with a dedicated sound card for 5.1 / 7.1 positional sound and latency

      Dedicated boom mic for clearer comms

      Typically more padding on band and larger ear cups since don’t need to care about ability to stow in a bag

      Jesus, sorry everyone is a bonehead here.
      1) Independent volume controls for voice and sounds.
      2) Microphone
      3) Low latency (i.e. NOT standard Bluetooth)
      4) Some connect to USB

    Sony INZONE H9, just under $400.

    Is highly recommend a SteelSeries headset for their dual audio channel ability and good battery life. Plus they’re comfy for extended use.

    I have the Arctis 7 which you can probably pick up on sale otherwise their new Nova Wireless model will be found under $400.

    Personally if you can save half the price going the Arctis 7 I’d do that.

      ^^^ I second everything here. Also own an Arctis 7, and it works well. Very happy with it, and I'd buy it again. You will be able to find it under $400 for sure.

    You could get an Astro Mixamp for ~$200 (need to choose the PS or Xbox variant - choose either if you are solely using it for PC) then pair it with the HyperX Cloud Alpha for $160 from JB

    Edit: Never mind, missed wireless in the title.

    What did you end getting? Thinking of getting either Nova 7x vs Turtle Beach 700 Gen2 Max but can't decide
