I did a fair amount of research between turtle beach and astro. Both sides have their own likes/dislikes and i almost settled for TB because I really did not want to spend so much. However, I really hate wires going onto the controller and for every other headset you need to plug it into the controller to have voice.
This headset is absolutely incredible. The build quality is superb; nothing is loose and nothing looks like it can break easily. The ear pads are SUPER comfortable, you can easily wear this headset 4+ hours straight. Sound is completely immersive, you will hear every single footstep and effect in the game.
Setup is extremely simple, just make sure you first hook up the mixamp pro to your PC(mac should work as well), download the astro command center, and update the mixamp. Then the mixamp pro plugs right into your console via optical and usb and you plug the headset right into your mixamp pro. From the mixamp you can control all the sound.
Don't think twice, there isn't a better gaming headset
