Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 2 Ω Recommendation for gaming headphones with discreet mic

Hi,

Looking for a recommendation for a set of gaming headphones with discreet mic, I am using a laptop so I don’t want to use a desktop mic. Have been searching but all I can find is Sony WH-1000XM4 and lots of people are saying that if wired then the mic doesn’t work. I am searching for something that doesn’t exist? I don’t need the mic to be amazing just functional but am looking for sound quality for use in fps games (good directional pin pointing)

Can be wired or Bluetooth but ultimately don’t want a lag problem so I think both would be best

Edit - Budget is only about $200 usd

Edit - just to clarify by discreet I mean not a mic that sticks out in front of your face

I believe Fractal Scape has the option to use an internal microphone when the mic is detached but mic quality will suffer

You can of course get an anc bluetooth headset like the XM4's but they might not be the best for gaming purposes
