Buy it if: You want to go wireless. You game on PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch, or mobile. You're looking for a good microphone packed into a gaming headset. You love long battery life. You want your ears to be comforted by memory foam.

Don't Buy it if: You exclusively play on the Xbox Series X. You don't really care for wireless headsets. You want to experience spatial audio on devices that aren't your PC. You want Bluetooth or hate using a dongle.
