A50 Series

My wife and I got A50 gen 5' early last year and could not be happier with them.

You should use Badseed Tech or Gadgetry Tech on YouTube for your headset reviews then. Both of these guys talk specifically about the cup width, height, depth, and head fitment in every review. Badseed Tech guy has a pretty big noggin and will always evaluate that. If I were you, I would watch Badseed Tech's review of the Fractal Scape. It meets all of your criteria but I can't remember if he said it was comfortable for him or not. I've had the Astro A50 Gen 4 for a lot of years and found it very comfortable. The Gen 5 is like an identical chassis but they made the earcups smaller for some inexplicable reason. Since they didn't change anything on the physical product, all the dozens of replacement pads on the market for the years old Gen 4 fit the Gen 5 headphones perfectly and all of them have bigger ear openings. Nothing can be done about the headband though except there are better padded ones on the market.

I just got these I have the a50x and the nova pro 9 and the maxwells and these are my go to for fps. I just like that I can listen to music or watch videos on my phone while gaming. The software it's still in beta but it's been working fine for me. Plus they are super comfy can game for hours. And the foot steps are clear I can follow the enemy behind the wall. I don't use the mic because I have a stand alone mic on my desk but love that it's detachable and battery life is infinite. Haven't changed it since I got it and I play daily 6-8 hours. And it's still at 83 percent. Also I love that I can mute the headset on the DAC.

A50x with stealth pads. Trust

For me the Astros a50x are better for pinpoint especially if you eq them right. Plus better mic as well. And over all way more comfortable to wear. The Maxwell sound more clear and immersive. But my neck just kills after an hour or so.

Astro A50’s are the most comfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever owned

Yo, I just went through this process. Unfortunately, all the wireless gaming headphones are lack luster in some way. Maxwell was the closest to what I wanted but went through two broken pairs so there's quality issues with the current versions and they're heavy. Corsair Virtuoso XT are great for FPS shooters and with an EQ actually have decent sound for media consumption but they get blown out of the water by professional headphones, and the battery is really bad and have to charge 1-2 times a day, mic imo is decent. Astro A50x is good with everything but sound. In FPS games I was missing so much detail compared to other headphones with them. I bought myself a Fiio BTR17 portable amp and now settled with Sennheiser HD 490 pro with a 4.4mm balanced cable. The portable amp makes the wired headphones into a wireless setup. I keep the amp in my pocket with the wire down my side, but Im thinking of even other methods like attaching the amp to the side of the headphone and using a very short cable. I added a Tonor microphone: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DG2RSR77](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DG2RSR77) attached to the side of the headphones which has great sound quality. Also got a bluetooth USB that makes the wireless range ridiculously good. I like this set up because it's the best sound and microphone quality while keeping it wireless. I should throw in that the HD 490s are insanely comfortable and light headphones. People praise them for the comfort and I absolutely agree, you sometimes forget you're even wearing them because they fit like a glove. You can't even compare the sound quality of gaming headphones (apart from Maxwells) to professional headphones like the 490s. I can hear details, subtelties and separate sounds with them that you can't with most gaming headphones. Only draw back is having to charge the microphone and amp separately, and having to turn bluetooth on/off in windows settings at launch so it pairs with my amp (but could probably fix that with a script that launches when windows starts). I tried the MMX 330 pro before the HD 490 and that is very good if you don't mind wired.

Astro A50s, used to use them on my PS4 too and they’re still amazing. There’s an updated Gen 5 of them now too. They’re also much more comfortable than any steelseries headset for me
