Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the superb sound quality and comfortable fit of the A40 Wired Stereo Gaming Headset, often citing its lightweight design as a significant plus. However, some users express concerns regarding the length and durability of the cord, as well as the headset's impact on controller battery life and its relatively high price point. A few also mention that the maximum volume could be higher.

    I didn’t have any luck with these. My communication kept cutting in and out.

    I was a bit skeptical in paying over 100 dollars for a headset but I'm glad I did! These are amazing and have great quality when playing video games. Plus you are able to mod these headsets which is outstanding!

    I purchased these headphones as a Christmas gift for my son. As it is not yet Christmas he has not yet received them but they were they number one item on his Christmas list. I'm sure he will be happy with them!

    I received these from my wife for my birthday! They are awesome if you are playing games at night while everyone else is sleeping and you still want to enjoy the games you're playing!

    I have used cheap head sets to more expensive like turtle beach. I think this performs a bit better than turtle beach and the quality of the physical headset is much better.

    Could not be any better for the price. The levels of high miss and owe are great. The MixAmp is a great addition. Audio and chat levels at a fingers touch as well as the equalizer.

    I was not impressed when I tried these since they didn't really sound too much better than my Turtle Beach XO Sevens. Traded them up for the A40 with Mixamp Pro for that Dolby 7.1. Makes a huge difference!

    Turtle Beach let me down a lot, switched to Astro been happy ever since. Would be 5 stars but they did that upgrade on the mixamp that was really a step in the past. I had to purchase the old mix amp on the Astro site to continue hearing my PC and game.

    These headphones are very good, however for the price you should be able to hear more detail like someone reloading or crouch-walking in the video games i play. Also sometimes i hear static in the headphones while I'm playing but not very often.

    I upgraded from an entry level headset to these and the difference is HUGE, especially in the chat clarity. Even if you are a moderate gamer, these are well worth the investment!

    Not good sound for the price.. The wire that connects to thw adapter is very cheaply made.. It will last a few months before it breaks.. Then the headsets will stop working.. DO NOT BUY!!!!

    I used my first pair of these a lot... 1500+ hours. Mic stopped working around 1.75 years into usage. Service plan FTW, got a brand new pair with zero questions asked.

    My boyfriend seems to like it. I’m not sure how much life these things are supposed to give but this is the second pair I’ve bought him in the last two years because the other ones stopped working.

    Bought this for my son who is a serious gamer and he loves it! He told me every game console should come with one of these headsets as standard equipment.

    My favorite feature on this headset is the mute button on the plug to the controller, most headsets you have to pop the microphone out of your ear.
