After owning a pair of Astro A50's Gen 3 for years they slowly started to slowly fall apart. Just 2 months ago the headband cushion peeled off. It wasn't until last week when the right ear cushion decided to come off that I needed to find a replacement.I looked at these because of the many options of fabric they offer as well as the claim that you don't have to take a side off to charge.I got them this morning and wow what a difference! I ordered the Breathable Cool Fabric and replaced the ear muffs and headband and they are comfortable! I wish I would have ordered these sooner as I think i prefer them over the original ear muffs.Do yourself a favor and get these as they are ready to be switched out in seconds instead of the ones where you have to clean off the residue and neatly adhere the cushion onto the magnetic plate.Mine also came with 2 different headbands which appear to be the black protein and the velour.Also no need to remove the ear pieces when charging! Well worth the purchase!
