I don't usually play games with friends, so I just use whatever pair I currently have available. Right now it's just a cheap enough pair of wired over the ear skull candy headphones. Don't know how good they'd be for things like audio calls that go on for extended periods of time, but they've been pretty good to me so far.
I've got some "fancy" $20 headphones right now. I used to use $10 headphones from Miniso, but they only last a year before one ear bud will go dead.
I've had expensive headphones, and have a nice pair of Sennheisers, but really it's cheap in ear headphones most of the time for me.
They are small, and I keep them rolled up in a little pouch with a USB drive that's pretty much always in my pocket. They never need to be charged. The audio quality is good enough that unless I start listening to FLACC files on my SD, I'm never going to notice. Their wired, so no lag or syncing issues ever. If something happens to them, I have another $10 pair tucked in a drawer, plus I can always buy more.
The Steam Deck is portable, can't beat wired earbuds for portability and reliability.
Also, the mic is fine. The mic is on a wire, close to my mouth. It's simple, but it makes the audio about as good as my Sennheisers. Or at least I've never noticed.
