The Best Headphone on the Marker Astro A40…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

BEST headphone I owned.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Astro Headset
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have given it 5 stars total, but the interface was a little wonky and the instructions were not the best. Once I got it going I fell in love with it and will most likely buy another. I use this on my computer now and want one for my xbox

Great once firmware is updated
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

A40 fr With Mixamp review.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

NOT FOR NEXT GEN CONSOLES
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product has potential to be an amazing product but the fact or the matter is, it does not work for next gen consoles. There is supposed to be a firmware update however the update gets stuck! I have tried on 6 different pcs including 2 laptops, and 2 different macs including 1 MacBook and one desktop. There is no support from logitech I will be returning this item. If you have a next gen console do yourself a favor and stay away. If you are previous gen then you are in luck.

Astro A40 TR X-Edition Gaming Headset Review: 10 Years of QualityWhen you consider that the A40 TR has basically not changed in the past 10 years, it's remarkable how well the headset has held up. It still sounds great, looks great and works with just about any system effortlessly. At the same time, it's missed

Asked by SydH.
- A:Answer yes it does have a inline mute button on the cable.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between the amp and amp pro that justifies the extra money, and is it worth it?
Asked by Art34.
- A:Answer The pro offeres surround sound while the basic amp just offers stereo.
Answered by Jakes
Q: QuestionCan you use the Xbox astros on a ps4 ?
Asked by Michael.
- A:Answer Yes you should be able to because both consoles use the same digital audio converter. Just use the optical like you do with your Xbox. Be aware though that the PS4 won’t be able to provide atmos support like the Xbox does as according to my own research, Sony didn’t program the console to support Dolby’s atmos format. Beyond that though you should still be able to get digital 5.1 and likely even 7.1 surround off the PS4.

Q: QuestionI have updated to the latest firmware but it is still not letting me assign the headset to an account and I can't hear or talk to anyone. How do I fix?
Asked by Braxton.
- A:Answer If you are using an Xbox One, once you have logged into your xbox unplug the USB cable and plug it back in. I don't know what the issue is with the Xbox One USB ports but once you do this it should assign your headset. Works every time for me. The other option is to flip the switch on the back of the MixAmp from Xbox to PC and back again. My understating is this is an issue with the Xbox if you don't power it completely off and use low power mode when turning it off for faster startup. The USB ports suspend and don't go completely off. This has something to do with the Xbox not seeing the mic on startup.

Answered by ChristopherB
Q: QuestionWill this work with ps5 and Xbox series X? Looking for a really good set of headphones that I could use for both and if you have any other suggestions I'd appreciate it
Asked by Danny2582.
- A:Answer Yes but the next Xbox doesn’t have an optic cord. You need to buy an hdmi converter for the optic cord to get the full bang from the a40s
