The art of building a good headset can bring you to a set of vague rules that might well contradict each other – make it light enough to be comfy, but not so light as to feel cheap; bring huge battery life, but also small swappable batteries; make the microphone studio-quality but also retractable to hide away.
Really, only the most premium options among the best gaming headsets can afford to meet all these demands, and if you take a step down to the mid-range (but still pricy) bracket then you'll find headsets that make choices about what to prioritise.
