Yer nan's knickers
I've used my Astro A50s for a few years now. The only issues I've had is that the top bit on the headband broke off (my fault) but another very annoying fault is that sometimes they freeze up completely and won't start responding again until they've been completely drained and charged again as there's no way to do a hard reset (this is extremely frustrating too, not being able to adjust volumes and stuff can ruin a night).

That said, I've absolutely LOVED these Astros. The sound quality is phenomenal, battery life is good and they're very comfy.

I need to see if there are good alternatives for less than £250.

Features they must have:

Compatible with PC and PS4.
Mic must be very easily turned off (on the A50s you simply raise it).
Must have optical and USB, and the ability to increase / decrease the volume of both (so I can change the ration between chat / game volume).
Wireless.
Comfy.

Not too fussed on price, and tbh it'll take a lot for me to get anything else but I thought I'd give it a go in case there's a contender.

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

An easier way to fix this is to unplug the USB cable at the PC end and plug it back in to another USB socket.
