This is what i use to do exactly what you just said.
I know you stated you only want to go 150 but is saving another 30 possible, if so....

The set i use in white, I know alot of people say their hyped up but i can attest to their quality and overall comfort, I've worn them for hours on end and if you wear glasses like i do they do not bother you at all. Either way hope you find a good set.
Also they do say 360 but they are compatible with all systems.
I've recommended these to people in the past - I myself bought a pair about two years ago, but I'm not so sure these days.
I've seen a lot of reviews from people saying they got headsets that were still broken, or headsets with broken mics.
Buyer beware.
Amazon also sells the refurbished ones and they qualify for Prime. So if you want them a bit quicker you can get them on their as well.

I'm not sure, if they are hard wired into the M80 then you won't be able to. You can get the normal ones with the mixamp pro refurbished from astro for under $200. http://www.amazon.com/ASTRO-Gaming-Refurbished-Audio-System-Black/dp/B00FBV6V56
They replace everything so they are basically brand new. I ordered my A50's refurbed and there was no signs of them being used. Plus you still get the warranty with them.
If the retail price is too steep take a look at Amazon for the refurbs for $170 AstroA40

Are these the ones? It says xbox 360 but they work on all platforms right?
Refurbished a40's. I have the a50's, so I can't really tell you about this one. But they seem to fit your criteria (idk about mobile support) and come with a 1 year warranty from astro.

about the use of the xbox adapter, what you're supposed to do is turn the game volume all the way down (press the button with the controller picture on it and then minus button all the way off) and turn the chat volume(button with the person on it) all the way up. That lets you get all the game volume from your mixamp for surround sound.
I looked it up adn its the (PC) kit so it only comes with whats needed to use on pc. This is the right one. (Audio System)

No dac or mixamp in the controller makes the sound quality subpar not to mention a serious lack of volume and bass. I ditched my soundbar and went with a refurbished pair of A40's from amazon and couldn't be happier.

I actually just bought some Astros yesterday, I got some refurbished 360 A40s and the mixamp pro for 170 before tax. All the reviews said they were amazing, they're hardly different than the new ones, and about 150$ cheaper.

There's a link, I'll report back with how they are if I remember.
