With Black Friday and Christmas coming, I figured I can get a deal on a new headset for my XB1 and PC. I'm currently using the crappy mic that came with my phone with an XB chat adapter. Most headsets are too heavy and/or large because they're made for guys and I'm a smaller girl. TB X12s were a great weight but a little large for my head, my bf's Titanfall headset was a good size width- wise but way too heavy. After reading tons of reviews, I think I've narrowed it down between:
The Siberia v3 ($99) are way cheaper, lighter, and more comfortable but less durable though they have similar sound quality to the Astros according to reviews.
The Astro a40s ($250) are definitely more expensive and bulkier (about 2x weight of Steelseries), but I've heard they're great quality overall and the mixamp is has great reviews.
Is it worth the extra $150 for the Astros? Any other headsets I should consider?
Thanks in advance!

Astro is overpriced imo

Since I am sponsored by Astro gaming I am required to tell you to purchase an Astro headset as well as a Scuf. Use code "REKT" for 5% off.

Anything more than the 25 dollar headset that comes with the XB1 is a waste of money.
-
I don't understand why you would ever spend more than $20 on a headset. Get a surround sound.

Well cant say much for A40's but I tried many headsets and by by the most crisp clear sounding headset is the astro a50's which is whay I stuck with, might have cost $350, but if your going to be using them quite a bit a few years for example its wortg that little bit more now for a much better headset
