    I like to game and I like bluetooth not taking up any ports. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good gaming headset that works over bluetooth.

    There aren't many (if any) gaming headsets that go by bluetooth and are considered good gaming headsets.

    You are better off looking for "bluetooth headsets" in google.

    You don't want a Bluetooth headset for gaming. Too much latency in the A2DP profile, and the headset profile sounds like crap. The PX5 and other gaming headsets that have Bluetooth use it for cell phones and such in addition to non-BT RF which doesn't have the issues BT does for gaming.
