Fortunately, I was able to try the mod kit at PAX, otherwise it's practically impossible to try them beforehand. All I can say is that I've tried every other major gaming headset brand out there that offers headphones within the price range of what the Astro A40 TR headset would cost with this mod kit (Let's say $200-$300). The headphones with this mod kit is the only set I can use for very long periods of time without my ears and the top of my head hurting. The surround sound quality is amazing and everyone I ask says my voice is crystal clear on their end with no background noise whatsoever, even when purposefully making noise around me. The one thing I will say is kind of a bummer is that this kit doesn't cancel out noise as much as I'd like. It definitely dampens the noise considerably, but not completely. I'd say it dampened noise by about 25db, comparable to most standard each plugs. Other than that, I love it!

I got this because the headphones were boring. not really i wanted the longer boom mic because i'm a large male child. The ear pieces snap in place and are easy to change as was the mic. i'm still afraid to change the head piece because it looks fragile and may break if handled incorrectly. i'm looking for instructions on how to change it and so far none are to be found. other than that i love it :)
