Turtle Beach XP500s (call of duty version called Ear Force Delta) I had sounded great for audio and mic. They just got old, I think the base station died. Astro A40s sounded pretty good for audio and mic. Something internal to the headset broke so I had no mic audio anymore. I did have to RMA the original mic. Razer Nari Ultimate sounded great for audio and mic. After years of use the headband broke, entirely due to how I would put them on and take them off.

The only wired ones I tried was the Astro A40 I dont own the mixamp but they still sounded pretty good just connected to controller.

I’ve used Astro A40’s with mixamp for like 7-8 years then just recently got the wireless Astro A50’s about 2 years ago and I have never had a problem with them

Still absolutely adore my a40’s and will be a bit sad when it comes time to replace them

Honestly, go with Astro. Their headsets are really well built. They last so much longer than anything else on the market. I've been using the A40 TR for years at this point and I only recently had to replace parts on it which didn't cost too much either. Easily customisable as well because things like the ear cups, headband and the wire are easily replaceable, even the aftermarket stuff is good depending on where you go. Compared to the vice grip of Turtle Beach, Astro headsets literally feel like you have a cloud on your ears. Sound quality is good too.
