I wish they stocked Astro headsets locally, even getting hold of the sennheizers and turtle beach is next to impossible unless you go through one of those importing online stores (have2have etc) which are just way too overpriced (R3800 for Astro A40’s are you serious?). For this reason this article is quite useless, thanks for showing us awesome gear we can’t have at a reasonable price.
