I'm also looking for a decent (ideally wireless) headset that works fine on Linux, with as good microphone as possible.

Currently I have - wired Sennheiser PC 350 SE - mic quality is good - Sony WH-1000XM3 - mic quality is mediocre

I'm quite happy with my Sennheiser, but now more and more often I have noisy environment around, so I would prefer to have noice canceling + be able to walk around the flat when I'm on conf calls.

My understanding is that right now, even with BT 5.0, I shall not expect a high quality codec as all duplex profiles (HFP/HSP) use low quality codes (ref: https://habr.com/en/post/456182), but I would be OK something with a dongle too, as long as it works OK on Linux. I was contemplating EPOS Adapt 560, but after watching many tests by CallOne (https://www.youtube.com/c/CallOneInc/videos) I'm just not too impressed. And also, I have no idea how those will work on Linux... Any recommendations?

I also have the Sony and have noticed the mic issues. But they seem related to Linux, as the quality seems ok when using my iphone. I've never tried it on Windows.

If you don't mind having different gear for conferencing, I use a Jabra Engage 75 [0] which works great on Linux. Lag is unnoticeable to me. Audio quality is terrible for music, though, especially compared to something like the Sony.

Maybe a closed ear set that isolates better? Or my personal favorite is in-ear for sound isolation without needing active noise cancellation. I'm not sure what the wireless world for those is like, outside of adapters. I do have a Jabra 75T pair I use with mobile devices, that does some sound isolation and recently added noise cancellation (haven't tried it). Their newer ones have better support for noise canceling (must include a chip for processing).
