The same A40
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Same quality as the previous A40 headsets since release. Just don’t spit on your mic and cover your headphones after use and it should last. I use this for PC gaming and for discord chat. No problems, sound is crisp and clear. I don’t use the Astro app on the desktop, I don’t think it’s necessary. Used this for more than a year, the cables are pretty durable.

Amazing Heasdset. Works w/ Ps5 Get Optical Adapter
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible Sound & Quality! The A40 with MixAmp Pro is truly amazing and since I wanted to reaming with the best expirience possible I got the Optical adapter made my Best Buy Insignia which works great! Since the astro Optical adapter was sold out I couldnt wait and got the insignia adapter which does not come with an extra HDMI cord like the Astro one does. You will need to HDMI cords as one goes from the playstation into front of adapter and the second HDMI goes into back of adapter then to your tv. I have an extra 2.0 HDMI cords and after hook up everything sounds grest. Keep in mind if you have the newest 2.1 HDMI tv’s then these current adapters would not work properly for the best expiroence and hopfully Astro makes a 2.1 adapter so everyone old and new can enjoy amazing headset with Optical! Microsoft and Sony really should have left the optical port on their next gen consoles and that was a bad decision on both of them! Thank goodness this adapter is made because the optical set up along with the Mix Amp Pro makes gaming an even better experience! They are very durable, the quality is great and I reccommend always keeping headsets stored in a headset case for a longer lifespan. Hanging them in a room on a headset stand will shorten the life. Storing them in a case keeps it from invisible dust and humidity that can shorten the life over time.. Your headset will last longer keeping them in something like the Astro Headset carrying case. I know you might want to display the elegant look of them but keeping them in a case keeps them in better shape as the human eye cant see all the wear and tear always. I love the design of the Astro 40’s/50’s and the reason they hold around the same retail value for so many years is their disign was ahead of its time! Its that good from aesthetics to quality you cant go wrong with this headset! Now, with all mass produced items their will be some odd cases where someone gets a defective headset, but keep in mind no matter how high end the item somewhere down the production run will have defects! Every product has a defect rate so if you ever get a bad one with any electronic dont judge thinking like its a bad product since you were unlikely that time getting a defect. It happens and things like that can be resolved fast with the store. Its also. Some consumers think they tale care of their things when they really take care of them poorly. So, when someone trashes an item for not working or breaking I would suggest not just listening to them but what the majority is saying. When you pick up this headset you can feel the Quality and craftsmanship that goes into an a40 headset as well as the Mix Amp Pro feels like good quality with a nice soft bottom to the touch. I have the a40 Halo edition for Xbox with Mix amp Pro TR & the a40 for Ps4/Ps5 With Mix Amp Pro and... Both headsets I got the optical adapter and now my a40’s are sounding great on next gen consoles!

Good headset, p
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.(Using headset on PC) Great headset. Very comfortable. Quality is amazing, sound is good. My only issue is how on full volume it honestly isn’t as loud as I thought it would be. Also the Astro command center application is TERRIBLE. Otherwise, it’s amazing headset, and definitely worth the full price point.

Awesome headset for gaming
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best gaming headset I’ve had for the ps5. You can hear everything and the quality is amazing. They feel comfortable on your head and are adjustable. The microphone doesn’t echo or sound like you’re talking to yourself. Great deal!

Lives Up to the Hype
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been wanting to upgrade to a Astro Headset for a long time. Finally had the money to buy the A40s. And they do not disappoint.The sound quality is rich and full. The Dolby technology combined with the mixamp, which allows endless customization thought the Astro Command Center application, are what really put this headset above its direct competition. Save for buying a pair of Sennheiser headphones, you’d be hard-pressed to find a gaming headset with objectively better audio quality. It even handles the 3-D audio from the PS five pretty much flawlessly.

Very Immersive
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones are great. I use them on my PS5 and PC and WOW they are good. I use them all day and It's so comfortable that I feel like I don't even have them on! Dolby Atmos is so nice with these that when I hear a knock in the movie or Youtube video I feel like It's real!

Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went with the open box excellent condition, they looked amazing and had everything in the box. I am so pleased with the quality and comfort of these headphones. You do need to buy another box to connect HD for Dolby sound. Also have to pay for dolby to go on the headphones. Also need a computer or laptop to do all of this with a ps5. Once you’re dialed in though, the sound is amazing.

Q: QuestionIs there something else I have to buy to use this product and extra adapter I have I PS4 thanks
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer For the ps4, you don't need anything extra to use it. For the PS5 however, you need the hdmi splitter from Astro which is around 40 bucks (That's only if your tv or monitor doesn't have an digital optical port.) If your screen has that port, then you don't need anything extra.

Q: QuestionHow is the bass and overall music quality with these? I'm looking for something that sounds nice for games but I want to have good quality with music as well.
Asked by Waffle.
- A:Answer The sound is incredible with great bass and the app helps the mix amp enhance the quality to give you the ideal sound you desire.

Q: QuestionI recently purchased the older version and got the 2 year protection plan. My wire is broken so would I get these the new model or the old model?? My problem is that I bought the old model on sale for 170 and the org price is 249.
Asked by Gdog.
- A:Answer I think the cable might be the same between the old and new mixamp. But if you bought the protection plan then go have it replaced for free. Otherwise go to Astro's website and order a replacement cable from there. My kid broke his cable for his A10 headset and I just ordered a replacement from Astro directly along with an extra for my A40 just in case I broke mine.

Q: QuestionI see the side panels can come off. Does this act like an open ear headset? And does it diminish the sound quality?
Asked by Norm.

Q: QuestionWould these headphones pair Bluetooth with a iPhone 13 Pro?

Answered by GregoryR
Q: QuestionWill I be able to adjust party chat volume and game volume separately on ps4?
Asked by Jimip.
- A:Answer So the way this headset works is by using it with the mix amp that it comes with. On the mix amp, you have two separate volume controls, one for the overall volume that comes through both ear pieces and the other one for your voice speaking into the microphone attached to the headset. You can adjust both volumes on the mix amp according to your liking however, those two volume controls will not adjust the additional volumes on your game console/ pc. Those volumes on your console/pc can be adjusted through your settings.
