Hello
I'm in a rush for buying either an astro a40 pic edition with no mixamp which retails for $150 but I currently have a very good deal for a brand new one for only $50. Or I can buy a refurbished G930 that is going to be about $75. Please keep in mind I'm in Canada and prices above are USD. I don't care if they are wireless because I'm going to be in front of my pic the whole time. The only use I'll have for them is gaming fps and maybe listening to some music while gaming. If you have any other reccomandations then please let me know. Also if I buy astro a40 pic edition with no mixamp, I'll be soon getting the mixamp and hooking it up. I currently can't afford the astro a40 with mixamp but I soon will buy the mixamp to have the full astro a40.
Here are my requirements:
Clear Mic
Good audio (I'm not an audio expert but would like them to sound good)
Comfortable for at least 4-5 hour gaming secessions (I can take a break every few hours or so)

Thank you for reading.

Pc specs:
I7 4790k
Gtx 660
Msi z97 G45 gaming motherboard
No dedicated sound card
3TB hard drive.
What I play:
Bf4, Cs go, some gta v, and other games.


Current budget: $90 Usd or so.
 
You should be able to buy a new G930 for around $75.00 USD. If you want a decent wireless solution go with them. I owned a pair a while ago and loved them. From there I bought a wired Turtle Beach Ear Force Seven - they were amazing but a .30 cent piece of plastic broke on them and Turtle Beach doesn't sell parts or provide a repair service. 🙁

I just got a a pair of Steelseries H Wireless that I'm getting ready to RMA. Really bad hissing in the left ear cup. I never experienced that with the G930. The only thing to be wary of is the mic on the G930 can be wonky.
