One of the challenges when it comes to switching gaming setups from the Windows world to Linux, is fully-featured hardware support.
The Xbox Wireless Headset + official dongle does a decent job with a lot of bang for the buck. However, It's not (yet) supported by XONE or any other driver. I can connect it via bluetooth, but then it just sounds dull - no surprise!
That's why I'm now looking for a new headset which is approved by the community. It must offer decent (surround-)sound in games.
I use the "barracuda X" it's black no RGB. It has both Bluetooth and low latency wireless.
I use it mainly in Windows (work/gaming) and PS5 (gaming).
In Linux I used it for gaming too. The only difference is that sometimes the gain in the drivers is very high. But I think it could be my problem (for messing with the drivers in the past months) maybe I need a clean install.
Is there a reason why you chose the smaller X version over the default Barracuda? Was it just the price or did you expect any issues?
I can't remember well. But: price in the X was good enough for me like 100€ maybe a bit less.
And secondly. The detachable microphone that can be located close to the mouth. That was a deal breaker for me because I use the headset to work (Microsoft teams) and play with friends (Warzone). And I like my voice to be as clear as possible. Especially if I have the windows open and some background noise.
So in short. I prefer unidirectional microphones that point to your mouth and if they are closer (so the gain doesn't need to be high), better.
