I gave up on Astros (Destiny)

Still use a gen 2 mixamp in my setup, but from the get go I was replacing parts or having periodic troubles. When an earpiece fell off, I decide to move on from my A40s, which is disappointing because I assumed I was getting the best. Caveat: never owned the A50s.

I really like my A50s, but they do feel like cheap garbage compared to the Sennheisers I paid less than a third of the price for. I'm not sure where my $300 went for the Astros, but it doesn't feel like much of it was to build quality.

I've heard great things about Sennheiser from Blackstar and other folks. Love my AKGs. The only bad thing about them is the bumpy uncomfortable headband, but I just ordered this, which should fix that problem.
