not great headphones to be honest, there actually pretty naff. the amp that you get with the A40's is the only good thing about this brand. eBay just The amp and ebay a good quality pair of sennhieser headphones around the £100 mark or alt brands and get a MOD mic for better sound than what astro headphones provide.

This is Gen2, reduced to this price from 25th.
Game reduced the price of Gen3 with base station (and it is a step backward because if you want to use Gen3 with Ps4 and Xb1 you need to buy second base station for around £100)

These are a different model to the ones Game have on offer. This one is the older Gen 2 where as Game have the latest Gen 3. Main differences are this can be used on PS4/Xbox/PC but the new ones have different base stations for PS4 and Xbox. However those base stations are now a charging dock on the new Gen 3, they have longer batteries and they have mod support (you can swap the ear cushions)

Excellent deal. They look like gen 2 Astro's and if so make sure you are getting the headset to controller cable for your device. Heat.

I disagree completely. I've had mine for 2+ years and I've never had a single complaint. Very comfortable, legitimately fully wireless unlike a lot of console designed headsets and excellent build quality.
The sound is superior to any other headsets I've used, personally.

I got the Sennhieser 598 Cs that were on sale at Amazon the other day for £89.99. Can you recommend an amp and boom mic to use these with my PS4?

Thanks a lot for this post - I need a solution to my PC sound, and I was thinking along these lines, but I had no clue where to start looking - MODMic is a great new search avenue I know nothing about. Ideally I'll find a wireless solution.
In terms of amps, I'm still floundering but I was looking at T-amps, like the TOPPING VX1.

Love my A50s
The battery life is great, the sound & mic are crystal clear and they are ridiculously comfy.

if you have ever used a quality pair of headphones you will know that the sound from them is far superior to the astro headset and any other gaming headset on the market. but if there good for you that's fine. just trying to help anyone out that wants a better experience as gaming headset including astros tend to be VERY bass heavy and but suffer elsewhere.
