This is overall a great headset. Let me get into specifics for you. It is one of the top headsets and all pro cod players use it. The price between the mic amp version and non-mix amp version is totally worth it. I had both and the amount of control and customization features on the mix amp is insane. Not just is the sound great, it has a great feel on your head, grey cushions and has options for other cushions. Honestly I gave it a 5 star because it’s been 2 weeks and I have no complaints or anything I’d change about it. Also since I stream I can say that streamers, this is a great headset and honestly can change the way you play. Now some people may over hype it but until you own it and actually experience it you can’t say anything. Huge streamers like NickMercs and Swagg also use this headset and it’s the most used headset by professional e-sports players. I hope my review convinced you enough to but it even though in no way do I get anything out of this except satisfaction that I hopefully help someone make the right decision.

This is a great headset. It has a ton of options for audio quality and allows you to fine tune it in the Astro app. Uses a USB port to work on Xbox series x also supports optical. Headset is light and comfortable. The mixamp is very useful and nicely built. Some issues are that the firmware has to be updated on pc and should be able to be updated while connected to the console. Firmware required even on ONe X it was frustrating to learn that because it didn’t work out of the box. Also I use keyboard and mouse on the Xbox and prefer to have controller wired to console but it only has 3 USB ports more of an Xbox issue but still something to consider if you have usb Hdds or something similar. Also doesn’t come with stand like the original a50s. Overall the audio is great and mixamp makes it easy to change on the fly.

Best audio I ever had in headset. Yeah maybe not as cool looking as some off the shelves or as comfortable. But if you get the A40 (not A50) I don’t care for wireless, And also purchase a mod kit for them, which increases sound proof durability. It is all worth the purchase trust me. Plus the mod kit changes the feel for the entire headset if you ask me. I’ve owned turtle beaches, (new and old) I literally owned every steel series headset out. Way more comfortable. BUT the audio is not there. In hand tried razors, and also tried hyperx. None of which can compete with the Astro A40 I have had. My picture I have own those 3 years. Yes the plastic gets old and starts to peel but they stay durable on my head and I just swapped out my mod kit for a new one for $70 and to me which was like purchasing a whole new headset for $70. Almost like a remodel on the whole headphones for half the price. Made them fresh again. Ok everything I said was true but I just went that hard because hopefully they see the effort and I win that $400 gift card for leaving a review thanks.

I love these Astro A40 the sound and easy of adjustments for fit are awesome. I have had A40 for many years. You can purchase replacement parts online. I game almost everyday for about 2 -4 hours. Destiny and MWIII with family and friends. I have had no issues with any sounds in game or chat.

They are extremely comfortable and great sound quality! Lots of customization with the equalizers. And adaptable to every gaming situation!
