*saw gaming in the headphone name*

No. Probably excessively expensive for the quality.

I would buy these if I wanted wireless gaming headphones that are durable. But then again, I think spending $300 on headphones alone is silly unless you need the utility of them (portable, doesn't bother neighbors, etc).

I want to point out those wireless headphones were marked down from $130. Though they lack a mic, you can buy those separate and still be under the price of the A50's.

Unnecessary font size bro...

But yes, Astro A50s are probably the best wireless gaming headsets you can get.

If you also play on console then the A50s might be worth it(i would get A30 or A40 wireless though). They are some of the best wireless headsets one the market and one of maybe 3-4 that have proper console integration. Astros have also been regarded as very comfortable.

I've tried a mate's A50s. Without the mixamp they're a very average wireless headset. Better off spending the cost of the A50 on some good headphones + mic.

Maybe he's console player. In that case he should buy astro mix amp and headphones. I think that works.
