sorted byYou can get much better and reliable headphones for the same money
Not sure if they're different now though. I paid over £200 each.
On the bright side, they did refund it after taking it back, but still a waste of time.
I can only assume a lot of people can't be bothered with the hassle of returning which is where the money is. Amazon really aren't that convenient to return things to currently, and when I last returned an item from their warehouse storefront it took over a month to receive a refund through after being told multiple times by chat agents it would be sorted after 14 days. Eventually had to get someone to push the refund through manually on live chat at the 5th time of asking.
Bought an ASUS ROG router recently which was supposedly in "very good" condition, with the only drawback being a missing manual which is pretty trivial.
What turned up was covered in sticky fizzy drink stains, ports filled with what I assume was cat hair, and a thick layer of dust accumulation.
God only knows what stains you'll find on these headphones.
Edit, ah I see I have the Xbox base unit with these. (edited)
Any suggestions, please? Interested how this would work. (edited)
How bad do these sound?
I'm looking for something that does a decent job and has atmos.
1) USB only - average sound (Defeats object of a premium headset).
2) With Astro adapter but lose 4k 120 (Don't mind buying, but losing picture quality is not worth it in my opinion).
3) £100+ for 4K 120 adapter, cannot see an official branded adapter however.
I would maybe settle for option 3 if the headset arrives and is in good condition, but I am having buyers remorse on the fact it is a minefield and not straight forward with many wires to boot. I have the Pulse 3D headset, have I made a mistake do you think? I may return.
EDIT: Do have an LG OLED CX, I might be able to use the TV opticals option, but jesus this is a ton of work for a headset! (edited)
Search for 'Zalias Astro A50 presets'. Some of his EQ's are very good. The one I've been using the last year or so is called 'Dystrylation' or something like that. Superb, clean punchy sound and not over the top bass or anything. There are many to choose from so take your pick. (edited)
Research suggests these are still top tier and I will be further researching that later today when I have charged mine up.
