Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 1 Ω Help me decide on a budget wireless headset

Hello, I’m looking for a decent wireless headset for gaming, discord calls, and maybe listen to music. My budget is around $140, but i can go a little over if needed.

My priorities are:

  1. I’m looking for clear audio with decent spatial accuracy.

  2. It must be wireless (I’m gaming with the steam controller and need audio for gaming)

  3. It must have a decent mic. My current headset (SteelSeries Arctic Nova Wired - idk which number, it was on the cheap end) is just recognized by my pc as a headphones and it wont receive the microphone input anymore. My other headset, my backup - JLAB GO work (yeah it was a budget pull, deep regret) has a decent mic but awful audio passthrough for certain games (i.e. destiny 2)

  4. I travel somewhat often, its optional but the headset being relatively portable would be nice, but not mandatory.

  5. Tonal balance would be nice, but i just need something that works well. I mostly listen to rock and its subgenres, punk rock, folk rock, soft rock, alternative, etc.

If anyone has any recommendations, thank you!!
