I'm using a SteelSeries Arctis 1 ($69) and I like it overall.
Only minor flaws: the battery life is good but not exceptional (magnetic charging helps), the charge port is micro USB (despite the fact that the dongle is USB-C), the wireless range is good but not exceptional, the shape of the dongle is wide and tends to block nearby ports, but the biggest flaw is the power button which you have to hold down for an eternity to turn it on or off. Everything else about it (functionality, sound, comfort, reliability, compatibility, etc) is perfect for me.

I own SS Arctis 7 (2 gen) and can't really recommend them. 4 out 5 at most. Despite claiming increased ear space they still hurt my ears after prolonged sessions, and rubber headband is also not comfortable over long time. Another minor thing is that low charge notification is raised very late and while it is on it can't be suspended and very annoying. Dull sound, if understand correctly it's for bigger bass response, but for me bass is irrelevant.
Controls and features are nice though. Microfon and it's controls are very good.
Personally I would not buy Arctis series again, not because it is bad, but because it is not a compelling offer for this price.
Those power buttons have a tendency to pop out just ouf of warranty. A few of my friends have them and its 50/50 as to whether theyve survived 6 months longer than warranty
I swear by my Corsair Void Pro headset. I have recommended it endlessly and everyone is extremely happy. Good price (less than $100 usually), great battery, great sound, the mic mutes itself if you flip it up...
Best thing is that they are quite hackable, and when the battery life starts decreasing you can just change it for a bigger LiPo and be done with it.
