    At that price i would be looking at high end wired headsets, not wireless. Also looks like they are not for PC either, maybe as an xbox1 peripheral it can sell, but not seeing it. :/

    I really don't get the appeal of wireless peripherals that are used 99% of the time within range of a wired connection. My one and only flirtation with a wireless mouse happened 10 or 15 years ago and it was just annoying when I forgot to put it in its charging cradle and it would stop working at the most inconvenient times.

    I guess with a wireless headset you could get up and go to the can and still talk to your friends on Discord... they've got that going for them I guess :)
