There is a pretty good deal atm on this headset and been thinking about getting my first wireless headset for a while. Am curious about how it runs on Linux, as I've seen some controversy on this headset on website that shall not be named, but that was 3 years ago now. I dont expect to be running their propriety software for equalizing sound - but would like to know if the headset performs as it should out of the box and if the additional sound system works well. If anyone has any experience with this i'd be more than happy to hear about it. Other headset recommendations welcome to (wireless though) :)

Also, easyeffects can be used to apply audio processing, if you want to. (Should be in basically any distros default repos)

I don't use any effects on the output, as they sound great, but I do use dynamic range compression on the mic for the benefit of my friends.

It levels out the loudness, so whether you whisper or shout, you sound the same level of loud. That way they can hear you even if you speak quetly, or don't get their ears blown off if you loudly swear in frustration.

Doing the same on windows was way too much work to ever bother with, on linux, easy peasy.
