I bought an Astro A50 Gen 1 back in 2013/2014 when i wanted some late night gaming. They served me well and i was impressed with them from the start.

After I moved house a few years ago, they were tucked away in a box and haven't seen the light of day until this week.
The battery is now proper FUBAR and even after an overnight charge, the headsets last about 20min max.

I've seen that i could take apart the headset and replace the battery, but i bought these back in 2013/2014 and I'm guessing that tech has moved on since then.

Given that the A50's were a premium headset at the time of purchase, what's the current premium go to headset?
Cost isn't too much of an issue, i just want to make sure that that headsets that i buy will last for years and are of a high quality.

This will be used on my Xbox Series X. The optical cable will connect to the back of the TV for sound.

The Xbox wireless headset that came out recently seems to have good reviews. Quite tempted myself.

Thank you, i like the idea of the direct connection to the Xbox, rather than through the TV.
Also the Dolby Atmos spatial technology seems like it could offer something different too.
