Gaming wireless headphones

That surround part is pretty much marketing BS for selling junk.
Especially when closed design of basically all gaming headphones is more or less very bad thing for sound stage needed for binaural sound to work.
Small sound stage with common for closed stuff strong bass makes bad headphones for picking up game environment from sounds.
From wireless headphones I would trust Sennheiser RS models to have sound quality more in line with price sticker.
(though of course plenty of wireless extra)

I use sennheiser rs180 headphones. They're okay but crackle at low volume. Never had the battery run out. No mic tho.
That's precisely BS used for selling garbage.
No matter how big garbage truck load of cheapest garbage drivers there's crammed in it's physically impossible for them to simulate sound of proper surround speaker set.
Principle how human hears in 3D with two channels/receivers has been known for over century.

All it needs is two channels and stereo headphones capable to reproducing that signal well.
Which is where lots of headphones fall short, because binaural sound is lot more demanding to them than any stereo sound.
