I'm looking for a headset as well with a budget of $200 USD or less. Really can't decide on a pair. :-\

Well under your budget. Plus free copy of Rainbow Six Siege.

I actually sent my Astros back to buy a pair of these, They're superb. For whatever reason, I didn't buy the one that comes with the free copy of Siege.

I understand you already have a mic, that being said I have a pair of Astro A50s and I love them to death. Had A40s before loved them as well. As long as Astro makes quality products I don't see a reason to buy a different brand. A50's are wireless 8 hour easy of play time, uses optical audio, and they have fantastic surround sound. Good deal.

Downside I had with the A40's was the mix amp rather than the headset. The Mixamp was consistently crashing, As well as many others complaining on the Astro forums complaining about it.

Do you know what year A40 you had? I had heard about this but it was on the model year after I had..Jesus I feel like we're talking about a car.
