DURABLE headset and mic? (Off-Topic)

I need a durable headset and mic for Xbox One. Any recommendations?

What did you have before?

I have a pair of Astro A50s that seem like they're holding up well (only had them for a few months). My old A40s lasted for years, though. They broke when I tripped and stepped on them. ):

I can't really recommend the A50s though. They sound amazing, but it has nothing but issues when actually using the mic. It causes a very noticeable echo for everyone in the party (except for me!). I've tried every solution I've seen and nothing has fixed it.

So, really, this is a waste of a post, other than to say don't get A50s if that was even a consideration for you.

I'm not sure about durability, but I've heard nothing but good things about the official Xbox Stereo headset with mic. Apparently it's a good piece of equipment for the price.
