If so, which ones? I am looking to game and talk to friends over discord on my Steam Deck. No FPS, more bullet hells, ARPGs, etc. Thank you!!

I use Sony wh1000-xm5 noise canceling, they are amazing for immersion. Using the built in mic for steam audio and it works well

First time to hear something positive about them. Only heard that they are a step down from xm3 and 4.

I moved from xm3 to xm5, the 5s are better. Also, handling multiple Bluetooth devices is a huge QoL improvement.

At least they fixed the breaking hinges. On my XM3 both are held on by super glue. Apart from that, they're great, over 5 years old and the battery still lasts 3 days of more than 10 hours a day usage

I had the xm4, the 5 is better. It wasn't a revolutionary change, but it was definitely an improvement, not worse

Thanks for your comment! I was thinking the XM4 for myself vs. The Bose Quietcomforts with like a V Moda Boom mic but was nervous about the latency and whether there were better set ups to be considered.

I switched from XM3 to XM4 after water damage. I am very happy with both and I use(d) both with the Steam deck on a regular basis. Recommended 🏅
