Thanks

£250.

get the Skullcandy PLYR1, its basically an Astro a50 but cheaper.

Skullcandy now own Astro.

Skull candy seems even more expensive than Astro and nobody seems to have any stock

Yeah thanks, nobody seems to have any stock though, need them in a hurry so was hoping to find somewhere with next day delivery

Are any of the Turtle Beach headphones any good, Skullcandy PLYR1 looks good but I can't get them delivered in time.

I always found TB have horrible leather everywhere, not something I personally like.

i find turtle beach a bit budget, what's the hurry? id rather wait and get a good set then rush and waste money.

Xbox one you don't have a lot of scope, its astros, skullcady or turtle beach really.

Great thanks (you might want to delete the above as they could be considered a competitor)

antijoke · 30 Oct 2014 at 15:07

Who limexb360? I'm sure it's fine, we've linked/discussed them before.

Where does one purchase Astro A50's and how comes some people rave about them but others say they're crap?

Plainsong · 26 Nov 2014 at 14:47

I've never seen anyone on here say they're crap.

I think in the grand scheme of (audiophile) headphones they arent the best (for the price) but when it comes to gaming headsets they are at the top end of such a niche. Id still go for a Sennheiser headset at that kinda price range...

Sound quality is very subjective

Astrogaming.co.uk or www.limexb360.co.uk

People who say they are crap are probably audiophiles. As above, they are the top end of gaming headphones.

I have used them for three years and they are the best ones I have used (I used to have TB X11's, then the X11's with the TB DSS adaptor).

I could tell the difference between the two. I also despise the leather that Turtle Beach insist on using on all of their headsets.

HEADRAT · 26 Nov 2014 at 16:13

I got the Skull candy, the boy seems to like 'em so no complaints from me

pioneer2000 · 26 Nov 2014 at 20:03

Hmmm the Skullcandy PLYR1 seem the same as the Astro's but £100 less? :confused:

I take it i'd need to factor in a xbox one chat adaptor though so another £20 on top to match the astro's?

What do the Astro's really offer for an extra £80-100?
