New headset replace Astro a40 tr & mix amp

DT788 · 2 Feb 2021 at 08:20

Morning all,

So I currently have Astro a40 tr gen 3 and mix amp pro, I have had nothing but problems with connectivity issues while gaming so thought I'd upgrade.
They are not bad headphones but I guess I fell into the whole 'I saw a probably sponsored streamer wearing them so they must be good' ploy.
I play pretty competitive warzone at the moment and would like something that just works with better sound quality..
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated .
Budget would be around £300 - also does not need to be a gaming headset as I am aware that most are gimics.

Cheers

I have never tried Beyerdynamic, hear a lot of good things so far.
Do you use an amp or sound card?

Searching which dac/amp to go along side new headphones and mic is a headache

Thanks for the tip, ordered a G6.
Now to decide which headphones.. any experience with the DT990 pros?

The TYGR are pretty hard to source in the UK are they not?

Pretty keen on the TYGR, out of stock most places.. only really want the headphones not the bundle

Ah it feels like an absolute age I have been reading reviews going back and forth to make a decision on a set of headphones to go with the G6.. I am still keen in the tygr 300 but keep leaning on the akg 702 and 712 then something else pops up!?

Thank you for your help.
I have just ordered the DT990, took me a while to decide then impulse took over.

I built my office more or less sound proof.
Funny thing is I only got back into PC gaming etc at the start of last year. Built an office on the side of my house, reasonable pc and now ticking off the audio.. The wife loves it.
