I need wireless, mainly for watching movies and tv, i use speakers for gaming but mainly because i hate my Sigma 3D headset. I was looking at either g930 or astro a50, mainly because I think RS160 might be a hassle to connect to a pc and would need a mic solution any thoughts?

I have a g930, I have occasional mic issue with it. People will say they can't hear me, I move the mic around, and it fixes itself, that may have accounted for a total of 1% of the total use. Bought in 2011, so after almost two years of use, there is a plastic cover at the base of the headband on either side that cracked. Wouldn't be a big deal, but it's holds the pivot point in place that attaches each ear piece to the headband. Has a two year warranty, I'm sending it in to be replaced though since it has a two year warranty, Logitech support was good, just required me to confirm my address, upload my recipe from newegg, and take a picture of the defective plastic.

The only truly annoying issue I've had is that when near a microwave it disrupts the signal, and it will automatically do an off/on cycle to try to autocorrect, which means there's a 5 second period that it turns off. But you won't find any RF headset that won't be disrupted by a microwave, so it's not the fault of the headset... I just wish it wouldn't try to reconnect and continue to receive a poor signal.

If I had to purchase a new headset right now, I would buy a new g930. With every other headset I've owned (all wired), they have broken after 4-6 months. Adding up the cost of 4+ x $25-30 headsets, it's less than what I paid for my g930 originally, but they are only $110 these days. It's worth the cost to me.

I can't comment as to the Senn RS 160, I've never used/owned it, but as for the g930, by far the best headset I've ever owned, regardless of minor microphone issues I've had every once in while. I'll probably by a one after receiving my warranty replacement once they go out of production to make sure I have one for the next -45 years.

Thanks for the input, although with some research, I think I would prefer open back speakers, this leaves the Astro a50, which comes with a mixamp or the rs180 without any amp. I think I am leaning towards the Senn.

I had an astro a50 which I kept for all of two days before returning it to best buy for a refund. Check their forums before you buy and you will see a trend among owners that does not bode well for any company trying to stay in business. My a50 was fubar out of the box as in the mixamp did not accept any input signal other than usb and that connection was only supposed to be for the mic and recharging.
