Good deal on the A50. These are Gen4, which are relatively new. Don't think there's been any sale yet, and previous A50 models rarely dipped below $200.
As the pictures would allude, the mixamps are included as well.
Very happy owner of 2 A40's (older gen). I'd recommend these not for only gaming but I use a set for work all day as well. Solid mic quality and the noisegate customization is a great solution to help reduce background noise others hear from you in meetings. I can comfortably wear mine for 12+ hours and not experience a bit of discomfort.
Still upset at myself for not grabbing that A50 for 139$ on aafes
Damn I didn't even know about that deal until you mentioned it... Have an old pair of a50s that won't connect anymore so do need an upgrade but I can't buy these knowing they were $100 less just a month ago. I blame you!!!
The A50's I bought in Black Friday of 2017 are still going strong. They are so comfy (even with my glasses on) I forget to take them off after a movie or game.

Same here, I have older gen a40s and they're super comfy. I use them for work as well like you mentioned and even with my kids yelling in the background, majority of the time it doesnt pick up their banter.
Like the other user mentioned too, I wear them with glasses and they dont pitch whatsoever. Turtle beach and logitech both pinched my head a bit too much and eventually made my temples hurt because of my glasses. I've never experienced that with Astro headsets which is why I'll use them forever. My head hat size is 7 1/4 so it's not like I have a huge head either.
Great find here OP. Tempted to get the A50s to give wireless another try.

The ones that were $139 at AAFES were not these, the latest version. They were the previous model.
I'm not sure if the latest model is worth $100 more, but I know there are supposed to be some significant improvements between versions.
After 4 years of many hours I had to change the battery in my a50s. Now they're like brand new again. Would like an upgraded version though since I think mines are the gen 2s

GREAT headsets though for the money!
Still going strong, but wouldn't mind a second pair.
