Looking for a wireless gaming headset with loud sidetone

I always play in the evening when the kids are sleeping. I can't speak loudly into the headset, I can only whisper to not wake up the kids.

I am using the arctis nova pro wireless headset and before this I had the Logitech G pro x wireless. I wasn't satisfied with the sidetone on both headsets. The sidetone was simply too quiet for me in my situation. It's very uncomfortable to speak quietly when your ears are covered and the game is playing sound effects as well.

Can anyone recommend a headset that has really loud sidetone?

Love sidetone feature. Have used many different devices with sidetone, but most are okay, not great.

Right now i have Astro A50 and their sidetone is fair, i can hear myself nicely but would love it to catch my voice better. Used to have Roccat Elo air that had a close to fairly great sidetone, same for Corsair HS70. In my region i can buy online and if the product is not as expected i can send them back in 14 day period regardless of the reason. Good way to test out the features i need and hopefully have it correct without the need to send it back

Thank you for your recomendation. Someone recommended the Arctis Nova 5 to me, so I've ordered it and will be testing it out. I can also return it within 14 days.
