Longtime fan of Astro headsets and this is by far my favorite so far. I had problems with the previous version of the A50 headset like many others. . The headset just wouldn't sit on its stand most days without a little tweaking and patience. Eventually I gave up and started plugging it in for charging. That was my only complaint, however, as the sound and comfort were top notch. I took the new version as it made sense to have the extra one for my PC and leave the other one plugged into my Xbox. i love the new man Smaller, nicer sound, slightly slimmer design and the base station is just fine. Thanks guys, STRONG recommendation.
