Is wireless mature enough?

I'm getting sick of all the wires on my desk, and so I'm considering moving to a wireless headset (don't want to add wires for a desk mic). I have a pair of Bluetooth Sony headphones for just music, and wireless audio quality is fine to my luddite ears, so I'm mostly concerned about latency and battery life and whether I'm adding more faff rather than removing it by getting ride of the wires.

I was looking at the corsair virtuoso SE due to the decent build quality and mic (headset mics are usually crap so this appealed as I'd use it for work calls a lot).

Looking at sub £200 ideally.

What you guys think?
 
The sony headphones I have support APTX HD, but I don't really want to use them as they are more my "out and about" headphones, and I would be concerned about the latency with bluetooth for gaming.

What I mean is that I want a decent wireless headset but want to know what they are like to live with
 
Thanks gents. I'm mostly looking at the wireless gaming headsets like the corsair virtuoso which uses WiFi not Bluetooth (although the new version can do either) and my main query was whether they are livable or not in terms of battery life, connection stability etc. Like I want to get rid of my headphone cord, but not if it's going to be more hassle going wireless than just having a cable over my desk
