I'm looking for some recommendations from the hard community on a Xbox headset. Budget would be mid range 100-200 dollars. I've done the forum and Google search with some results but not great. I'd like to hear the opinion from my fellow hard console gamers before pulling the trigger.

Sennheiser HD 598 ($120-$140) + Modmic ($40). You need a Y adapter for the Xbox with this setup.

I use an older version of the Astro A40 headset. This is the new one ($150). Most comfortable cans I've ever had.

FYI: The MixAmp is not worth the money they charge for it. Have not yet read anything about the new modular one that attaches to the controller. Better to spend the $15 ($10 on sale) for the Dolby Access app for headphones.
