Astro A50 (Gaming)

So what exactly are the difference between the A50's and the A40's?

So far what I'm getting is that the A50's have better sound quality and other minor perks.

But I would rather pay $100 less for slightly worse quality as long as they cover three things:
1. Surround sound
2. Works with XBox One
3. Has a functional Mic

Does anyone know if the most recent version of the A40 has all of these? Or would I have to get the A50?
