USB+Bluetooth sucks for gaming.

If you want to use the mic then the quality will drop back to a low khz mono level.  Battery life would not suit gaming either. If you want to use it for vox only you'll still have issues with battery life. 10 metres? Yeah right. Bluetooth range is effectively 4 max depending on the hardware.

I use a Plantronics 590A. But it uses a 3.5mm stereo to bluetooth adapter for the PC. And you cannot use the mic while gaming.
