DHGF: I don’t have much luck when it comes to headsets, regardless of what their perceived quality may be. I owned a number of cheap ones in college during my World of Warcraft days that had to be replaced on a regular basis, and this was in addition to the fact that they were simply uncomfortable to wear. Some of the “high end” ones didn’t do me much better, instead turning into a tangled wad of cords that became more of a hassle to use than just simply slipping on the one that came with whatever system I was playing on. When I tried one of the Astro A50′s at E3 2012, I had high hopes for a headset that I felt would address many of the concerns I had in investing in one. Now that I’ve had a chance to put one through its paces, it’s time to see if my impressions were lasting

The Astro A50 is a premium pair of headphones that are a perfect fit for gaming - which is good, as they can’t do much else.
COGconnected: Astro A50's have consistently been considered one of the best headsets in the gaming audio market. Astro recently released generation 4 of the A50 and once again these cans deliver a superb audio experience.
I've been using A40s for about 8 years. I really don't recommend them. There are better options that cost less. You're paying a hefty "gamer tax" with Astro.
