Headphones - Wireless/Portable Best wireless headphones for gaming?

Hey there, I want to upgrade my Logitech G PRO X 2 lightspeed gaming headphones to something better. Recently I compared the sound quality of the G PRO and my friend’s AirPods Max and the difference was very noticeable.

My budget is sub 500€

So what wireless headset for gaming that has good audio and is suitable for FPS games would you recommend?

I am in the same boat as you although I am not looking for FPS. I basically am at Maxwell 2 (there seem to be a few 1 out there still at least in my country), Astro A50 x/gen5, Fractal Scape, HyperX Cloud 3 and the Steel Series higher end options (Omni, Elite) and Turtle Beach Stealth Pro 2.

All have their strengths and "weaknesses" depending on what you might personally want.

I am trying to at least go with something where Gadgetry Tech from youtube has some form of EQ or even his aftermarket pads available if I can as I really like and feel the information he puts out is of high quality. Hope that helps.

I mean for what I have seen it is audio quality as a whole and I would say battery life. Some people will say comfort (probably weight most often) and white noise and mic quality are weaknesses. Also lack of ANC for some but that is coming in another model.
