That looks pretty sweet. $300 does seem like a lot though.

OpieWinston3475d ago

It is Wireless. They usually add a bit more to the price.

FITgamer3475d ago

It's worth it. I'm currently using the A40s(wired version). Best headset i've ever used.

lipton1013475d ago

I've been using the A50 since january, best headset I've ever owned. Battlefield 4 on the second setting max volume will literally hurt your ears. The mic is very loud so you'll have to move it back farther from your mouth. Overall it's worth the $300 asking price. Easily.

If Astro managed a deal like Tritton then I'd go for it. Give me complete wireless and I'm sold. Looks to be just another color offering which is fine, more power to the die hard Master Chiefs.

Scatpants3475d ago

Their new year models always cost $300. If you wait until the next years model is out you can get it for like half.

Looks amazing, let's hope it gets a price discount.

qwerty6763475d ago

looks like they put no effort into this one, make it green and slap 117 on it.

pretty meh.

Ripsta7th3475d ago (Edited 3475d ago )

I thought so too but then if they made it too flashy it would look bad
Edit: The sliders on the side to adjust your headset look badass, dont know if they are on the original

n4rc3475d ago

Gonna try out the tb 500x I think..

$70 cheaper and fully wireless.. Curious how the DTS headphone stuff works

lipton1013475d ago

The A50 is fully wireless. I've used it every night since January

54LK3475d ago

You need a controller adapter for the astro's. The 500x apparently doesn't need one. That in itself is cause to acquire. Dts is interesting, we'll see how that pans out. Quality goes to Astros however.

54LK3475d ago

I'd definitely go for them if they were TB best offering. They seemed to have gone all out on the elite which is for PS4. I for one am a bit jealous so I'm going to look a closer at POLK audio.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic65d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8965d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

jznrpg65d ago

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
