> All wireless gaming headsets that I've seen are Bluetooth.
Which have you been looking at? Typically it's just labeled as 2.4GHz in the spec sheet (yes, it's a bit silly since Bluetooth operates in the same band.. oh well).
I just went through my local IT store's cheapest wireless gaming headsets[0] (ignoring colour variations), and I saw:
- HyperX Cloud Mini Wireless[1], Bluetooth, 549kr (~$55)
Oh, I thought the Lightspeed protocol was only for keyboard and mice, as that is/was what they first claimed on their site somewhere. I guess that I always skip those headphones due to the design.
The problem I see here (and in other propietary protocols) is it's very difficult to know what's the quality of the audio stream. Can't find any information about the codecs, sampling rate, bitrate... and the microphone reviews that I've found for that kind of headsets sound very bad.
With the prices on good quality wireless headsets I sometimes feel like I'm going to end up buying a broadcast quality headset with a long cable and forget about it :D

- Logitech G435[3], Logitech Lightspeed (also optional Bluetooth), 799kr (~$80)
- HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless[4], custom wireless, 899kr (~$90)
- ASUS TUF H1 Wireless[5], custom wireless, 979kr (~$100)
That's less than half of them with Bluetooth support at all, and only one that requires it.
