I would like to hear more from Astro users (Gaming)

I have an A40 headset I've been using with my PS4, and I've really enjoyed it. My Mixamp died a while back so I hadn't been able to use the headphones and pretty much given them up for a lost cause. The PS4 made them relevant again since I can cut the Mixamp right out of the system. I didn't have any huge issues with game audio overwhelming chat audio, though having to manually adjust those settings is a little tedious.

Could people hear you OK? Some reviews suggest that the Astro mikes aren't great.

Ear buds never fit in my ears (they always drop out) so, for daytime use, my ideal solution would be a headset that was very open and so let me hear my surround sound well but still held my mike and has a small speaker near my ear to let me hear team mates talk.

Or perhaps someone should do a mike only package that puts team speak through the surround sound speakers. For daytime use that could be the best of all worlds. I would have proper surround sound with a mike.

Does anyone make such a thing? Is it any good? Anyone here got one?
