I asked this recently and got fantastic replies:

I went with the super budget option and got the Nubwo (G06 I think?). I'm very very happy for the price I paid. Arctis Nova Pro Wireless appears to be the other end of the quality/price spectrum.
I use the one step down version of the Arctis Pro. Sound quality is OK being able to connect to my computer as well as my iPad at the same time is pretty sweet and I can move it over to my desktop and it works just fine which runs windows.
Any headphones that support Aptx LL will have a low latency when used with a hardware dongle. I have a pair of 1Mii E700 headphones and a 1Mii B10 dongle. The latency is barely noticeable and the dongle shows up as a sound card in Linux with no configuration needed. The headphones will connect to a phone, but will have the typical bluetooth latency.
Any recommended dongles?
It looks like the B10 dongle I used is not available anymore. I can't seem to find any other USB dongles that support Aptx LL and Linux. There are several that plug into a headphone jack though.
@Midnitte You are welcome buymeonce.co.uk/products/repea…
This doesn't seem to have 2.4Ghz connectivity? 🤔
@Anarki_ You are right - repeat.audio/en/product/prince…
I'm going to sound like a huge bitch but these don't have 2.4 either. OP wants wireless 😅
Either of these would work with a Bluetooth dongle for the PC though!
@Anarki_ What about these SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 steelseries.com/gaming-headset…
I have these and have quite enjoyed them, but the switch from Windows lost the Chatmix feature, which was very handy. Also, the mute button has gotten progressively more finicky over the years. Still would recommend though.
Lol see my problem!
BT dongle isn't an option? I don't know many options that have 2.4 and BT. Something like KDE Connect could bridge that gap with software though.
For gaming no - though I guess not also having Bluetooth isn't a deal breaker.
I use Hyper X Cloud Flight Wireless with a USB dongle on both Windows and Linux, they worked without issue on Bazzite
No bluetooth AFAIK
I use Audeze Maxwell (the 1st edition), I don't think it's sold anymore new but there is a 2nd edition (which i never tried).
Strictly speaking I would not recommend it, unless you don't use a mic very often - in which case it's awesome.
The sound quality is great (although I'm no audiophile). It works fine on both Linux and Windows. The chat control is part of the headset, not the software. Comes with a 2.4ghz dongle but can connect via Bluetooth too. You can also use them wired with a usb cable while charging. Battery lasts something like 60 hours and charges in about 30 mins (as above, you can use it while charging). It's rather comfortable, although I've replaced the ear pads.
I've mentioned the mic is the downside, the actual issue with it is that if you turn on sidetone it'll have static crackling noises. It's been a known issue for long and never got any fix for it. The mic can be removed or sidetone can be disabled, but since it's a closed back you might start shouting involuntarily. If you don't often use a mic, it's a great headset.
Gaming on the GNU/Linux operating system.
