Highlights of the EPOS GSP 670 for me include:
- Fantastic build quality with a stylish finish
- Excellent adjustable clamping force and headband size
- Great microphone with adjustable noise cancellation settings and more
- Comfortable padded ear cups
- Insane passive noise cancellation (I can't hear my wife)
- Good battery life
- Dual connectivity with Bluetooth and wireless modes or plugged in
- Intelligent sleep mode helps it save battery
- Removable/replaceable earcups
- Game/VOIP balance and intelligent buttons like the switch to tell you how much battery is left
Lowlights of this headset:
- Ears get hot
- Sidetone is too low even on max meaning it's hard to hear yourself
- It might block out too much noise
- Micro USB connection only so no 3.5mm or USB-C options
- Wireless range is fairly poor
- Verges on being too tight on your noggin.
- Microphone cannot be detached
- It's chunky AF

Astro A50 Wireless
My favourite wireless headset for PC. It's not as robust as the G Pro X Wireless in terms of build quality, but it's comfortable and convenient. The charging base station makes it dead simple to charge and use and it has great sound and features too. The base station also means you can plug in other devices including an Xbox or PS4 as well as 3.5mm or optical devices and it'll work with the GoXLR (for example).
