A40 vs. A50 - and what is the estimated lifespan of the mixamp?
Trying to decide between the A40 and 50. Of course there is the $50 price difference... but while I really like the wireless aspect, the contrast to that is that if I purchase the A40 with the external mixamp, I could then use the mixamp in the future with other headsets/phones.
