Hi i was using the Astro A40s but the mic stopped working and they only sell the newer TR model mics now. So I am looking for suggestions for a new headset please with a couple of stipulations 1, max spend £150 2, No Turtle Beach please hate them with a passion.

Thanks
 
I also hated turtle beach after being suckered into getting one that claimed it worked on all platforms and turned out to be terrible in every way.

However, when I went to a mates house and he had the TB Stealth 500x (completely wireless), I was actually impressed. The SQ was so-so, but the surround sound accurate, mic monitoring and other on headset settings gave quite a lot of flexibility, so I asked for a set for Christmas and haven't looked back. I love my music and wouldn't use these for critical listening, but playing online, the Mic and surround experience is top notch.

However, they don't sell them anymore, and I don't like the lack of boom mic on the newer replacement model.

Yeah, I have the Stealth 520 for the PS3. They're not bad. Even used it on the PC which they were great picking up the footstep directions etc with Quake Champions. Still, prefer my Steelseries though.

The battery is great on the Turtle Beach Stealth 520. Maybe 12 - 14 hours?

I have a pair of Astro A50's for sale in the MM here for £85. Near enough brand new. They are still up for sale if you're interested.
 
Kingston Hyper X Cloud 2. Tried a few headsets before settling on these. Sound and build quality is excellent. Regarded as one of if not the best sub £100 headsets.
