If you're primarily gaming or watching TV, the Razer Kraken V3 headphones with their good sound quality, excellent build, and boom microphone, are suitable, but they're not portable due to their size and don't support wireless connection. For a versatile option, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds are more expensive but offer good sound quality, active noise cancelling, and are excellent for travel, exercise, and optimized for both Android and Apple devices, with the convenience of being wireless, though they may not be the best for gaming due to latency and have a lower score for calls and meetings.

"This Razer Kraken V3 is a great headset for gamers who want comfort, surround sound, and software customization for a reasonable price. It's primarily a headset for PC gamers since THX Spatial audio is only supported on Windows. If you want something more multifaceted for multiple systems, this won't be an ideal headset for you. Luckily, there are plenty of competent Kraken V3 alternatives available to you."
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
