Astro a40 with mixamp, I have not tried the a50s yet. Best headset I have found.

Yeah, the quality of the sound is just bounds ahead of other headsets and has been for years.

I personally use Astro a40s and they work great. A lot of people recommend the steelseries arctis nova 7, so if I were you, I'd go for those if you're able to afford them.

Hi, The A40 TR Headset, A30 Wireless Headset (can be used wired), and the A10 Headset are all available. However, if you are looking for the best audio from your console, the A50 X would be a great choice as it supports 24-bit audio quality. Is there a reason you prefer wired headsets?

Hi, The A30 Wireless Headset and A50 GEN5 and X use LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. I'll be honest, you'll need to be very good to tell any difference between them and the A40 TR Headset as the latency really isn't that high even on wireless. I used to have my A40 TR Headset as my daily driver but have since switched over to the A50 X for my Xbox and my PC and it matches up perfect to everything on my display from gaming to YouTube, etc. For battery life, the A50 X and GEN5 offer 24 hours which I think it perfect for a single session and you can dock it in between to top it up. You can also use it with a charging cable to play and charge at the same time. Obviously it's all down to preference, but wireless headsets have come a long way.

Astros. I have a40s that are over 10 years old, used daily for zoom & games.

Wired and no batteries, one that has no app to bug out. No batteries to die in 5 years. No firmware to bork and die. Oh the ancients made those it's a lost art.. Aliens showed us and we forgot. I got my MK1 Mixamp and A40s back when they were current, and with care and (replacing the stock mic entirely) are still going strong, and the surround function still just works. No firmware, no app. Just usb SPDIF and good times.

Think theres the gen4 astro a40s before the buyout and honestly they are really great the last time I owned a pair.

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

Big on the Astros. Have the A40s and they’ve been phenomenal going on 6 years.
