Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do these work with PC?

A: They are compatible with PC, Xbox, PS4

Q: Does this work with the ps5?

A: The headset works with PS5 and I would totally recommend them. I wrote a review about some of the pros and cons that I've ran into using them with my PS5

Q: How does it mute?

A: It mutes by a slide switch located on the cable.

Q: Can i use that headseat astro a40 with xbox one?

A: Yes you can, now that both ps4 and xbox controllers have a 3.5mm audio jack, however, you are going to need the adapter for the xbox controller to talk to your friends. If the adapter comes in the box you are set but if it doesn't you are going to need to pick one up. In theory the adapter should come in the box

Q: Do you have to charge it? Bc I see it doesn’t come with a charge

A: No the plug into your controller and run off of its battery

Q: Are the earpads cloth or that fake leather?

A: It is a super soft and comfortable cloth

Great headphones for PC and consoles
I was looking for headphones that worked on PC, Xbox X, PS4 and the switch. I own a pair of 3 yr old Astro A50s that I have connected to my Xbox and while the mic is a disaster; the rest of the components are of very high quality. I decided to give these 10 year anniversary Astros a shot and I'm glad that I did. The sound is just amazing and they work on PC and all my consoles. The PC splitter and audio converter cables are very robust and steady. The PC cable is approximately 5 feet long and the audio converter cable that you are going to need to plug into your consoles is approximately 6 feet . Also, the mic, the ear cushions and covers are all swappable. These are great and I don't see myself buying another pair of gaming headsets for a long time.

Astro a40 TR X-Edition
Overall these headphones are rather good and have good sound quality, but without the mixamp pro they're pretty bad. I only had them for roughly a year and the left ear went out completely and Logitech couldn't replace them since they were a limited edition, and had to swap them for the normal ones.

Not too shabby...
As a self-proclaimed “Steelseries fanboy,” I must admit, these Astro A40s surprised me. I reluctantly returned my Steelseries Arctis 9Xs, as I wanted one headset that worked with both the Series X & the PS5. Sans the bells & whistles, the sound quality is actually quite good, & they may be the most comfortable gaming headset I’ve ever worn. I also stream with the mic, & the quality isn’t terrible.
