I made the mistake of believing some dumb guide online that recommended the Razer BlackShark v2 Pro for Linux. Literally the volume control is broken out of the box lol.

I just want a wireless headset. For listening to audio. And a mic. Don't care for fancy features. Apparently too much to ask for a linux user.

What are y'all using and how is it working for you?

Wireless with a USB dongle. Analog will never have issues, but this fancy wireless one doesn't either :)

How does this dial work which lowers game volume so you can hear voices?

The headset presents 2 separate audio devices to your computer, so you direct your games to use the headset game output and Discord or whatever to use headset voice. It's pretty magical honestly, no tabbing out when you can't hear a dude.
