Logitech G Pro X Wireless is what I wanted it to be. In other words it's fantastic, but with some caveats. That being, it's ONLY good if you're using it on PC. It has no other connection options. So there's no Bluetooth, no 3.5mm connection and you can't even use USB-C to USB-C to play tunes from an Android phone. SAD :(

There are other headsets with more features for similar money. That said, it's uber comfortable, really well built, very nice looking and has joyful sound too.
