Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are amazing. Sound is awesome and adjustable for both game and chat volume. The mix amp feature is awesome. The cord can be cumbersome if you are trying to play games from the couch.

I waited a very long time to get these headphones and the Mixamp, mainly because of the price, but they are so very worth it! The surround sound is amazing when play FPS and the mixamp let's you mix the game sound and chat sound on the fly as well as change to 4 different sound profiles (all which are configurable with the desktop software available from the website. I'd like to address a few issues that people seem to have problems with , well with the Xbox version anyway. First off, the 'tinny and echoy sound' The default sound profile is pretty good, but tweaking it makes it perfect. Yes at first it does sound a bit TInny but I easily adjusted that out. IF there is too much echo for you, it's not really echo...it's actually the surround, try playing without the surround turned on and that will take all of it away. It is easily turned off with a single button on the mixamp. The second major issue is the delayed echo of your own mic and voice . I have tried a combination of mixamp, no mixamp, chat adapter, no chat adapter, astro 40 head phones and two other pair, Razors and Steel Series, they all produce the same delay and echo of your voice, even with side tone (mic monitoring) turned off. Sometimes it's there just for me, sometimes it's there just for people I'm chatting with, sometimes for both and sometimes for no one. Best I can tell it is a problem with Xbox Live, or party chat when used in conjunction with in game teams where team chat is available. When using skype to team chat, the echo is completely gone. These are fantastic headphones, and well worth the price. However, be warned that their customer service is pretty lousy. It's hard to get any information off their website about any issues. You will have to email them with questions or problems. Thy do respond to emails. It just feels a bit of a cop-out to have zero information on your website about the problems listed above, or any solutions for them, when it is obvious that SOOooo many people have this issue. Other wise, if you go into this eyes wide open, you won't be disappointed!

This headset works great with my XBox One. Good sound quality and comfortable. If I were to change one thing, it would be to make the mic easier to position in front of my mouth.

Great headset, Great sound,Very comfortable! 10/10

Exactly what we were looking for. Audio is clear and the surround sound delivers dynamic results. Comfortable and lightweight, definitely worth the price.

Best mic I've ever had little expensive but worth every penny. So comfortable and the sound of the game makes me feel like I'm in the game overall amazing mic

I've had astros for awhile now,but had to get the a40tr's.They are normally $250,but I got them on sale for $187.99(black friday),this are the top dog of headsets for gaming,if you want the best Dolby surround sound,the best quality,then this is the headset for you.Just for fun,play a game (your choice) and use the regular sound on your tv for a round on that game,then hook these bad boys up and play that same game.........life changing,you hear every little detail in the game ,you'll wonder what took you so long to purchase them....

I purchased this headset since it was on sale for the black Friday deal. First Astro headset i get and its worth it. A bit of a pain to setup but not too bad if you are a tech person. You must connect the Audio Mixer behind you Xbox One via the optical cord. After you plug in you Mixer to the outlet to get powered up. One wire then goes to your headset to the Mixer. So 3 wires in total. The sound quality is great, if you really enjoy gaming then this is a great headset. Original price is $249.99 but i got it lot cheaper for black friday. I do recommend paying for the insurance since with such a high price for a headset i only think its smart. I always put the insurance on the headsets since with the wires many things can go wrong even if you take care of your item very well, like i do. The only issue i have with this headset which might be fixed by changing the settings is that if you speak a little low the mic won't pick up your voice. So if you are trying to play late night and don't want to be speaking to loud this might not be best for that. Besides that great quality, durability, and amazing sound. 7.1 Surround sound is great on this headset, you can test them by going to youtube and looking audio 7.1 test some movie trailers offer it as well. You can even check a blu ray with 7.1 if you have one. Wire setup. 1. Optical wire between Mixer and Xbox One 2. Power outlet wire between your wall outlet and Mixer 3. Headset wire between headset and Mixer.

I've had the older Astro headset for some time now and needed a new headset for my Xbox One. Since I enjoyed the last one so much I figured I'd get this newer one for my Xbox. This one requires some specific setting up on your Xbox. You need to put HDMI Off// OPTICAL AUDIO Bitstream/ BITSTREAM FORMAT Dolby Digital. It also helps to sign onto your Xbox live account first THAN turn on the Astro TR. This allows you to assign the headset to your account. If you try to sign in your Xbox account after you turn on your Astro TR, it some times doesn't get sound.

The headset is the best money can buy. They are comfortable and the quality of them is great. You can't go wrong picking these up.

Great sound quality and the ability with the mixamp pro to fine tune sound. Let me first say i'm a 40+ year old gamer and was looking for a quality headset. I decided to go for the Astro A40tr du to other reviews but must say while the sound quality is there it isn't enough to offset the high price tag. Even on sale $200. CONS: (1) No quality instruction out of the box. You need to go to the website, update the drivers to the mixamp and watch their instruction video's. There is not one current video for the model A40tr nor are their good instructions on what each of the buttons actually do. (2) Mixamp pro will not turn off when plugged into any usb port on the xbox. A real pain to have to unplug this just to turn it off. (3) I don't notice that much of a sound or voice improvement to justify a 50 - 100 dollar price difference in other models. Pros: (1) don't get me wrong sound quality is good. (2) I like not having cords coming out of my controller. (3) Ability to better controll game and voice volume. This is what your paying for though. I rated a 3 for 3 main reasons: cost vs. performance, lack of instruction for the price and because the unit doesn't turn off when my console is shut down.

This headset works really good. I recommend it to everyone. Clear sounds and comfy padding. I love everything about it.

Amazing sound quality. Feels really nice I could wear this headset all day.

I do not use the mic for this headset...I use a yeti. So, this review is for the headset itself. The sound is amazing! It is really good, nice quality, very professional sounding. It is completely top of the line. When it comes to sound quality, this headset takes the #1 spot for me...and as a long time avid gamer, I have been through a lot of headsets! To say this one is the best is a major compliment to this product. Another thing worth noting is the comfort factor on this product. A lot of headsets are stiff out of the box and you need a few days or even weeks of wearing it before it fits "like a glove". Have not had a problem like that with this headset. From the moment it came out of the box it has been one of the most comfortable headsets I have ever used. My only gripe about the entire thing is the software. It does not have a lot of options...the software is minimal and if you are looking to really be able to configure your sound with the software, think again. However, if you are simply using this product for minimal sound use, this will not be an issue for you. But, if you are planning on really using this product to enhance or add to your sound options...you will most likely have to use another program to accomplish this. Aside from that minor detail...the headset is GREAT and completely worth the price!

Everything about them are great headsets are comfortable and the Dolby Digital is amazing.

Had the a50 took them back battery don’t last that long these are awesome headset.

Very good headset! Sounds great, look great, feels great, Astro’s are awesome.

I love them, they are really clear and the cushions for the ears are very soft

After having a bit of an issue with a pair or Turtle Beach headsets, I decided to switch over to this based upon reviews and I have to say I am pleased. I have never used Astro headsets before and they got a lot right to make me a return customer. The sound mixer is fantastic. The noise cancelling is even better. The bass and treble are both on point. I literally feel like I'm cheating when some fool is running nearby me on Call of Duty. I haven't found a thing wrong these after a couple of weeks of use. No complaints from myself or anyone I am communicating with over Xbox. Yes the price is steep, but boy is it worth it.

- Simplified setup from previous models (2 less wires, and audio is through Usb) - Audio quality is great and no static issues such as from charging a controller or interference - Padding is comfortable and makes the headset easier to wear for extended sessions - Decent preset sound mixes for quick audio adjusment Recommended for Gamers that want to really push audio and gaming quality to this next .
