    I was wondering is there any 3.5mm jack wireless headset?

    I'm interested with Wow Creative Headset , It seem to have LED glow & portable wireless USB , but I don't really like the mic design.

    Anyone have better recommendation , Portable USB , Wireless Headset , Most Important is sound quality , this headset is for my alienware m14x.

    Price $200 below. Thanks.

    You could give a shot at the corsair vengeance 2000. I'm currently testing it right now and so far my only gripe with it is a slight hiss when there is a program that has an audio feed running, but nothing is playing. It is very faint, but i can see how it might annoy some. The logitech G930 also fits the bill. Personally, i don't really the construction materials and pleather pads which is why i went with the vengeance, sound quality is decent for a headset of that price, but for music i still go back to my headphones since they destroy the headset.

    To be honest, i got it yesterday and i haven't tested the surround function. Comfort wise, i gotta give it a 9/10 though. Sound isolation could be a tad better, but the headset is ridiculously light and it breathes compared to pleather pads.

    The only three wireless headsets i know of are the G930, Vengeance 2000 and Astro A40 which if i'm not mistaken still has a wire running to a mixamp. All have their pros and cons. I'd like to be able to sample the others i mentioned, but unfortunately, i'm the only one crazy enough to drop 150$ on a headset factoring in family and friends.

    Add the logitech F540 to the list although i don't know if the G930 replaces it or it's a different model altogether, razer also has a wireless model now that i think about it, but you'll pay for the razer name as well. A few members have a G930 IIRC so you'll likely receive input from them as well.
