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.

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.

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.

I've switched to Astro years ago and never looked back. Amazing audio, comfort and durability. Have both the a40 tr (10+ years old) and the A50.
