Looking for a very specific headset (sopuli.xyz)

Hi all,

Not sure this is the community to ask in, but I couldn't think of anywhere better.

I kind of hate switching headphones when I'm on my computer, so I wanted to find a wireless headset that sounded decent enough that I could use for music while working, but I have some very specific requirements:

  • Open backs
  • USB wireless (not Bluetooth)
  • Decent audio quality
  • Reasonably compact

Does such a product even exist? Ideally, it would also have swivelling earcups, so it can fit nice and flat in my backpack when I'm on the go.

I currently have a Philips SHP9500 paired with a cable that has a built in microphone. With this setup music sounds good, and my voice sounds good to other people, but it's neither wireless, nor compact.

Bluetooth operates in the 2400-2480 MHz range, maybe a dumb question, but how would looking for 2.4GHz avoid BT devices?

Because nobody knows why 2.4ghz means. But if it’s Bluetooth they sure know.

Because any device that uses BT would advertise as such? No company i've seen says they support 2.4ghz when they actually mean BT.

2.4 GHz is the most common WiFi frequency. All of the headsets that I've seen that support WiFi connections have "2.4 GHz" in the description.
