Then I made a terrible mistake. I plugged my Sennheiser's into my Xbox series x, and it was over. I couldn't go back to my chorded cheap over-the-ear headphones. I remember how clean and clear the background sounds and crisp highs became. I needed quality gaming headphones, which is how I began my love-hate relationship down the road of headphone collecting. My next purchase… the Astro Gaming A50 base station 4th gen. Over a year later, I'm happy it's what I went with.

What if I told you, you haven’t seen a color? You come over to my house, walk into my kitchen, look at a backsplash, and ask, what color is that? I look at you and say Blue. Only your response is, “Blue… blue can look like that?” That is what happened when I put on the Sennheiser HD 599 headphones, and I assure you, I thought I was going to be overpaying for a middle-of-the-road sound experience.
