Yeah, that aspect of the headset + the comfort seem very good! However, from the digging I've done now it seems the microphone quite subpar, not sure what your experiences are with this. In addition, the charging port is not USB-C, which is a slight turn-off as I am trying to keep everything to USB-C these days. Not a massive negative, and fair considering its an older model, but a notable thing for me at least.
I've found a pair for $162.76, not a bad price, though from a second hand market but completely unused, box still sealed.
Edit: Watched more videos about the mic now, doesn't sound as bad as I initially thought...
The mic sounds fine. You can find samples online, ofc, but people have never complained that I'm unclear or quiet. It's not as good as the wired sets, and I think that's down to the wireless connection, but it serves the purpose of communication, and doesn't pick up on too much background noise, either.
The charge port not being USB C is unfortunate, but my G915 keyboard is also still micro usb.
Unfortunately neither peripheral has a newer equivalent that is as good.
Yeah, comes at a cost - I still might get these though, seem exactly what I need, and I really just want something that works out of the box with no additional software needed.
