I'm actually really interested in this as well as I'm in the same boat. I heard that Astro is the king in terms of comfort and convenience. It has a charging dock, as well as comfortable ear paddings. I heard it has 2 variants, one's for playstation and other for xbox. Both work for PC, but I "think" (don't quote me here) that the xbox variant supports dolby atmos(?). Corsair virtuoso XT has the best mic quality for any wireless headset, less muffled. It also has great audio quality compared to Astro. But the padding isn't much comfortable for long periods of time. It also has bluetooth connectivity and can connect wireless and bluetooth at the same time for 2 different devices. That said, I'm intrigued to hear what people who owns one or both have to say. I wish I could try them out to decide. Will follow this post. Answer from Ash_Valor on reddit.com

So i wanted to know what all of you would recommend of the three In term's of Audio Itself, Mic, Comfort: Corsair Virtuoso RGB SE, Steelseires Arctis Pro Wireless, Astro A50 Gen 4, HyperX Cloud Orbit S, Coolermaster MH752.

Of the headsets you mentioned, there are only 2 real contenders: the HyperX Cloud Orbit S, and the CoolerMaster MH752 -- the rest are a waste of time & money, IMHO.

Audio: Orbit S is supposedly a re-modified version of the Audeze Mobius gaming headphone, so in terms of audio quality, it's a big step over the MH752 -- but the MH752 has very good audio quality for its price (MH751/752 is based off the respected Takstar Pro 82, a very good bang-for-buck headphone).

Mic: Orbit S has the pop filter that Audeze (oddly) left out of the Mobius, so the mic should be perfectly fine. The MH752 has a solid mic that works quite well (nothing special, but clean and clear). Toss-up between the two.

Comfort: Orbit S is quite comfortable, but the MH752 takes the win here, easily (one of the most comfortable headphones or headsets I've ever tried in my life).

My Recommendation: pound-for-pound, the MH752 is the better deal; however, if you have cash to burn, try out the Orbit S.

Notes: I have the Audeze Mobius (which the Orbit S is, essentially, a slight downgrade of) and the CoolerMaster MH751 (MH752 is the MH751 w/a attached 7.1 sound card on the dongle).

Hey guys! I’m considering buying one of these headsets, but I’m not sure which one is the best bang for my buck. I value for most to least (but still greatly): sound quality, connectivity, and comfort. I like listening to music, playing FPSs and open-world games, and watching videos. I would be using the headset for both Xbox and PC. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

I currently have budget headphones from JBL. The quantum 100. Honestly been pretty happy with them, but I feel like its time for the next step. My budget is around 300-350 euros and I am in the Netherlands. I'm looking for gaming headphones. I mostly play FPS games. I would like to be able to use them wireless, but also wired. I've done a little bit of research, which had me come to either the Astro A50 or the Corsair Virtuoso. Mainly because I also need a decent mic for voicechat, but also for the occasional livestream. Also because the HyperX Cloud III are not widely available here and I think I can get something better with the money I am willing to spend.

Budget and location - How much would you like to spend? What are some local or online shops in your country? - Max 350 euros, in the Netherlands

Preferred tonal balance - Are you a bass-head, focused on accuracy, looking for sparkly treble, or wide soundstage - Good for FPS gaming

How the gear will be used -Use at home, on the go, in an office? - At home

Past gear experience - What did you like about it and what didn't you like about it? - JBL Quantum 100. Liked them. Mic quality is ok, but looking for something with a more expensive feel.
