I'm only trying to spend about 100$ I've had 5.1s and audio technicas over the years, even the beyerdyanmic dt990s but those have come and gone , I need something new what's best for about 100$? I know most 5.1s quality is garbage and I prefer something with a mic.

I considered a refurb astro a50 for 200$ straight from astro but wasn't sure how those performed.

Any input would be appreciated
 
Klipsch Image S4, but the Klipsch Image S3 is almost as good for only $20 on sale.
 
Just saw this, was going to suggest the G930, but you already found something.

Thanks, :) I appreciate the thought. My bro has the 930 and it is nice, but sometimes it disconnects and hisses and meh :( I'm more about audio quality then my games so I decided to go a bit nicer of a route.

Appreciate the input anyway.

Ah, the key to that is getting away from your router :)
 
Weird, I'll give it a shot, funny thing too because my brother sits about 5 ft from our primary AP in our home....
 
Very nice choice, the DT990 is an excellent set. I still have a pair of DT990 Prem 600ohm that I use strictly for fps gaming, cannot say enough wonderful things about them in regards to audio quality.

The G930 would be better if it were in the $70 range, as the audio quality is kinda meh...

That would absolutely destroy the connection.

I knew it was 2.4 interference because my microwave will do the same thing, just to a much worse extent.

But I can talk from downstairs in the garage to people over TeamSpeak now :D

Modern Bluetooth and Wifi chipsets are designed to coexist with each other. Some 802.11n APs allow you to disable Bluetooth coexistence, make sure it's not disabled in your case.
