I am building a gaming PC for my wife for Christmas, and I realized I completely overlooked a gaming headset.

My wife can be pretty picky, and I have been struggling to find her a good headset.

  1. I use the Astro A40, and she loves how they feel on her ears, as she has super sensitive ears, so leather/leatherette is a super bad choice, and even some fabrics are problematic. She says memory foam is typically to hard on her ears. So I am looking for a headset that uses the SAME exact material as Astro A40, some sort of cloth (their website only says cloth, I am pretty sure it is velour after research.
  2. She wants a Wired headset.
  3. She wants something that is light. Astro A40 is 369g or ~.81 pounds. She wants something significantly lighter than that. like 300g max. 20% lighter than Astro A40 at least.
  4. Not a requirement, but a preference on pink/purple, but she doesn't care about the color nearly as much as everything else.

So Does anyone have any recommendations for a Wired headset, that is light, that uses Velour for ear cushions, no memory foam or leather/leatherette/mesh

My current Idea is to buy a lilac Astro A10, and replace the ear cushions with replacement Velour ones.
