Wired or wireless — which is better for competitive gaming?

Across the reviewers we read, wired headsets like the Razer BlackShark V2 X and Logitech G Pro X are still favored by competitive FPS players because they avoid wireless latency and have no battery to manage. RTINGS notes that modern 2.4GHz wireless (Arctis Nova 5, Cloud III S, Astro A50) is low-latency enough for most players, but die-hard competitive users on r/headphones and r/GlobalOffensive still trend wired.
