Looking for wireless headset to replace HyperX Cloud Alpha wired.

Headphones - Wireless/Portable

Attempting to replace my aging HyperX Cloud Alpha with a wireless headset. Tried several different headsets and either the sound quality or comfort has been a breaking point when compared to my current wired HyperX Alpha. My head is fairly tall and no wide so some headsets fit oddly. Ears are a little on the bigger side so I prefer larger ear pads. Would like something around $150 but can go to $200 at this point. I would continue to use wired devices but my cat WILL NOT allow it. Ideally compatible with PC and Xbox.

Tested options:

Razer Blackshark V3 X - Just noped out as soon as I tried it on.

Arctis Nova 5X - Decent comfort but sound was weak and papery if that makes sense.

Cloud Alpha Wireless - Ear pads were so thin to me. Smashed my ears. Disappointing.

Being considered:

Cloud III S, Blackshark V3 Pro, Logitech Pro X, Arctis 7X, Turtle Beach Stealth 700
