Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm loving this headset had to buy a new one due to my rig500 being torn to pieces by my dog lol best choice I've made also came with 2 yrs Dolby Atmos its great!

One of the best headsets I have used in while. A lot of customization with the headset you can change around. I can only imagine how much better it is with the Mix amp pro.

I have only recently started using gaming headsets, and at first it seemed like making a decision on which one to get was overwhelming. Without knowing much at all about them I still knew that the ASTRO A40's were one of the most popular choices out there. But is it worth shelling out a few extra dollars to get your hands on a set? I ended up trying several different sets before landing on the ASTRO A40's. Mostly Turtle Beach sets, and while they were fine for what they are the ASTRO A40's are on another level. First off they come with the M80 MixAmp. This cradles right into an Xbox One controller, and not only gives you options to adjust your EQ modes, volume, and more, but it also looks great doing it. All of these features are available right at your fingertips. Excellent design. When I am playing a game I usually switch through the 3 EQ modes to find which I like best for that particular game. One has great bass for being immersed in single player story driven games. Another EQ mode turns up the treble, and allows you to hear footsteps better while in multiplayer. Overall excellent sound. None of these features would be any good if the headset wasn't comfortable, and luckily it is. Big comfy over the ear headphones, and the mic can be worn on either the left or right side. I am told my voice sounds crystal clear through the mic, and I don't hear any echoing either. So is it worth spending the extra dollars to get the ASTRO A40's with the M80 MixAmp? Let's just say there is a reason these are so popular. That reputation I mentioned earlier is well earned. In short yes. They are worth the price tag, and I would recommend them to anyone in the market for a set of gaming headphones on the Xbox One or PC.

These headphones are great! No complaints from my son at all. This is the second pair we’ve owned and my husband loves his too. I strongly recommend!

First impressions: Nice packaging, attractive. More substantial than some competitors flimsy and plasicy packaging. Easy to open, no need for a pocket knife to force open a plastic clam-shell. Inside you'll find the headset, the chords and MixAmp M80 control. These are good looking headphones. They have a substantial look and feel. Some other competitors offer a worthy challenge but they have a plastic look and feel feel and do not have the substantial feel these have. So for, I'm impressed. As for sound, there are pros and cons. The pros are impressive sound and you have more control over your game experience than most competitors. The highs are crisp, the mids are balanced and the lows are rich and lifelike. One of the better headsets we have ever used. The cons are nitpicking on my part but noticeable. Admitting that it's by design, these units (as shipped) do not isolate background noise nearly as well some of their competitors. For some environments, that may be a good thing, but my son and I prefer the immersion of isolation to disappear into game-play. That said, you can buy a mod-kit that offers the ability to isolate and eliminate most background noise. The mod kit comes with several designs to create a semi-unique headset and includes isolating modules, another mic, upper head-pad and additional ear pads but that does cost around $60 list price. Is it a deal-breaker? By no means. but it is worth noting and additional cost for an already pricey (but worthy) unit. Another nice feature is that the microphone is easily moved to either let or right side depending on your preference. Overall, these are quality in both appearance and performance. The mix amp is cool. I like the options it gives over most competitors to afford customized in-game audio experience. In addition to easily controllable volume and mute button, it also comes wit 3 pre-set mix options for game mode, voice mode or chat mode, but also the customized buttons to adjust to your liking. There is also a great volume adjusting wheel and mute button that will light up when in mute mode so your teenager does not need to be embarrassed when you remind them that its time to shower or walk their dog or do the dishes. I know my 17 year old son appreciates the visual acknowledgement that he is indeed muted when mom or dad remind them of their domestic duties The one item that some other competitors offer that would be a :nice to have is mic muting by simply flipping to mic upwards. There is a nice big button that is a simple thumb move away for muting but it would be nice to have the second muting option. In all honesty, this would not even be something we would know we would miss unless other headphones we've used hadn't had it but if you are used to that feature, it's worth noting this does not have that option. End of the day, I am impressed with this setup. It does have more high-points than lows and even the lows are easily overcome. If you are ready to take the next step in improving your audio in-game experience, these are a great starting point. In all, I would easily recommend to a friend or as a gift for the gamer in your life. Disclaimer: This product was provided free, or at reduced cost, for the purpose of reviewing the product.

Can’t complain at all This headset is just another level Fits perfect with my elite series 2 controller And they are really ease to use

We have 4 children and have been through bout 20 headsets over 5 years. And this is definitely the best and most dependable one purchased to date.

My husband loves this head set. All of the headsets we own are astros. Its easy to hook up and now he can leave this on only for the xbox.

It’s good just wish I had gotten one without the wire. I sometime poke my shoulder with the cord that’s plugged in to the headphones

This is a good quality headset. I would like to have better control with the voice volume. I wish it was possible to lower the voice of team chat with more accuracy .

These was recommended by our sales person. I was not disappointed. These are amazing and very reasonably priced.

Hands down best gaming headset I’ve owned! Superior sound quality, comms work to perfection as well.

Excellent headset but expensive but I don’t like because I need to keep wired connect

awesome sound and easy to install a mod kit to make noise canceling even though not necessary seeing how great the base unit is.
