I have an a40 Gen 1 that works perfectly, I had an a40 Tr that was stolen. I had an a50 Gen 2 that I sold and bought the a50x a year ago and it never had any problems with it.
I have the og a40 from ps3 days, a pair of a50 ps4, and a50 ps5. They all still work fine. Only issue is every had was the a50 would lose connection to the dock after a couple months. Just put them back on the dock and restart the sysyem. I swear, people must be throwing their stuff into walls and expecting them to still work... I don't how my friends and I can use these for a decade with no issue but reddit says they are trash?
Astro a40 with mixamp, I have not tried the a50s yet. Best headset I have found.
Astros mix amp A40's are really good and buy the dolby atmos pass. They're not to expensive too.
Astro a40s with mixamp are very good. I had a pair that broke, so I tried an expensive Audeze headset that seemed good but it wasnt the same. About a year of use I swapped back to A40s, they were so much better imo.
I got the wired Astro A40 pro with mix amp almost 8 years ago. I’ve replaced pads once. They’ve been great throughout multiple consoles, and now finally on PC. Highly recommend.
8 years with the Astro A40’s + mixamp
