If you want to use it across PC, PS4, and Xbone, I would suggest the A40 PC edition ($135) if you dont care about the mixamp, it would work on the xbone with a stereo adapter($20) and will plug right into your ps4 controller. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

For the headset that works ONLY for the Xbone - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Ok thanks I am going to go with the version that includes the mix amp and then buy the stereo adapter for the xb1! May I ask what the sound quality is like and the bass? as I cannot find a single vid that shows them off. Kind regards, Aidan
The sound quality if far superior than any Turtle Beach headset. If you use the MixAmp they can get very loud which I dont recommend playing at the max MixAmp volume, it really hurts your ears when an explosion goes off near you. The bass is quite terrific, nothing like having 2 12" subs but comparing to a headset, it is better than a pair of Kickers I had. Also, the A40s are very comfortable.

Good quality to you doesn't translate to good quality to me especially since I'm used too studio grade headphones.

Please speak up and name a pair of headphones that will support the xb1 ps4 and pc then. As that's what I will be using them for. Music yes Movies yes Gaming? Hell yeah

Do these have a mic? Any other studio quality headphones you'd recommend that have a mic(can be on the cord)?

I own the Astro A40 2013 edition and They are supper comfortable and they work will all the systems. Sure they are pricey but well worth the money. If you want wireless go for the A50's. Those work with all platforms. For PC you will need the Astro PC adapter. Get the 2014 editions though.

Thanks for this, I have decided to go for the Astro A40's 2015 edition seeing as its the only one they now sell on the actually astro website but newer should mean better correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks Alexyy I already have a pair of HD 595's so I could use them though. I really want a gaming headset to use for console gaming. I know I could do the old technique which would be to get a nice pair of studio quality headphones and a decent mic such as the podcaster or at2020 but again I would only be able to use it on the pc ( Will still get both of these xD)
