Tldr: at bottom I have the Turtlebeach CoD edition from few years ago, $300 then, and they were uncomfortable. Plus they ATE thru AA batteries. So recently I changed to the Astro A-50's (again $300). These were comfortable, sound is decent, rechargeable, wireless and seemed to work fine for about 3 months or so. Then the mic just went out. Funny thing about them is the mic cannot just unplug. Frustrated and upset I went back to turtle beaches and purchased the 500x this past weekend. I read reviews between the 800's and 500's , and I am VERY pleased with my purchase. They are rechargeable, got mine for less than $200, mic is detachable, tons of options for sound adjustment, playtime is around 10 or so hours on a charge. tldr: [b][u]Highly[/u][/b] recommend Turtlebeach 500x's
