Hey so i just bought the pc 360's and planned on doing a review of them, my pc 350's and my a40's all using the astro mixamp.

I only have those 3 headsets, the pc 360's ran me up quite a bit so these 3 are the only ones being reviewed.

If there's anything you guys want me to mention/focus on, now's the time to tell me, thanks :)

i'm interested in reading anything you have to say about them, as i'm in the market for a new headset. from what i've heard pc 360's + mixamp is the way to go, but if the a40's are good enough i'd rather not buy 2x headset

I'll try not to let you down then :)

Btw forgot to add that i have Beats studio headphones. So for the music portion of the review i'll use that for comparison.

Durability. My Astros took a hell of a beating before finally breaking, and was wondering if PC 360s would even come close to that.

There's a much larger review on mlgpro, you should check that out.

BTW, you don't have to buy the A40 headset to get the mixamp, you can buy it separately (still costs ~$130-150 IIRC).

P.S. Happy 25,000th thread, Halo Series!

They don't have pc 360's in that review, i'm not even sure if they have pc 350's... Plus it's hard to do a good job when you have so many headsets to talk about, so i'm hoping i can do just as good or better because i'm just focussing on 3.

I don't know about your experiences, but I'm hard on all of my equipment, and they lasted me a year and a half, lol. They're still usable, just have to solder a wire back to a board.
