The Sony PULSE Elite are decent for wireless gaming. They're reasonably comfortable and have a long, continuous battery life that's perfect for gaming marathons. They have a low-latency wireless performance using their dongle, while their boom mic has a very good recording quality and excellent noise handling, so you'll be crystal clear on the comms. That said, they have some caveats. The sub-par frequency response consistency means they struggle to reproduce audio in the same way between gaming sessions, especially if you wear glasses or have a larger head. They also lack low bass, which can rob cinematic sequences of some intensity. Depending on your unit, there might be some planar crinkle present during everyday listening, which can be frustrating to deal with.
