The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I have both the Steelseries Arctis 1 & 7 headsets. I’d happily recommend either of them, though 7 might be out of your budget.
The 1 is my office pair. It has long battery life, the wireless range is decent, and the usb c dongle means you can use them with a cell. The sound insulation is good considering it uses mesh pads and as a glasses wearer they’re pretty comfortable.
The audio quality isn’t amazing, it’s a bit boomy for my tastes. There is also a physical mute button on the back of the cup that sometimes gets knocked to mute when I put them down which is a bit embarrassing in calls. Otherwise I haven’t had any issues with them.
I gotta disagree with you. I've tried the Arctis 1, 5, and 7 and they were all trash at audio conferencing - lots of complaints of static and audio cutting out from my clients. When I contacted their support they said that their headsets aren't meant to be "business quality" and only to be used for gaming. I returned them and went Logitech.
Sounds like there was something wrong with your audio jack. I've had stellar comments about all of my Steelseries.
They're wireless, so no, it's not an audio jack issue lol. Other brands worked fine. Steelseries used to be godly in the 2000s but they're trash now.
Lol. Guess you're just cursed. Lol. I have multiple styles, wired and wireless, and work perfectly on multiple computers. Lol.
I was a big Arctis 7 stan two years ago. I had three pairs at one point
But then they started pushing Steelseries GG and the experience just deteriorated from there. The new Arctis models are just awful, it's like they didn't understand why people liked chat mix
I also have an Arctis 1- I paid ~$70 USD- and I'd recommend them as well. They're very comfy, and the mesh pads mean they're reasonably breathable. I have zero complaints with the battery life- I've never had it manage to die during a very solid day of use. Though if I forget to charge them overnight they usually die sometime the next day. And that's after nearly 2 years of use- I bought them in June 2023.
Interestingly, I've had a very different experience with the mute switch. I find it pretty stiff. Which I'd say is a good thing. The volume wheel next to it, however, is really easily moved. I occasionally turn the volume down accidentally just taking the headset on and off.
Also: If you have a phone case the USB C dongle might not fit. I have to remove my case to use them with my phone. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.
Maybe a plus, maybe not depending on your preferences, but I think they look normal. They're not explicitly gamer-y, or anything. I wouldn't feel embarrassed wearing them in public like I might some jagged RGB'd monstrosity.
I bought the Arctis 5 back in 2020 and its been solid. I've used it for meetings basically every work day since then and it is still going strong, never had any issues. I agree about the audio quality not being the greatest, its fine for voices but not good for music.
