I bought these instead of the pricier Xbox version as I already had an adapter for the controller with my Turtle Beach headset. I ended up returning the headphones after trying them for a couple of hours as I couldn't justify the $150 price tag without getting any more comfort or sound quality than I already had with my less expensive Turtle Beach headset. Still a nice headset with good sound quality, but just wasn't a big enough upgrade from my current setup.

We heard these were good. Son got them for Christmas and his friends and others were saying that when he'd talk over them he came in stacticy. He said he heard static as well in one ear. Maybe it was just that pair. I can't say I wouldn't recommend because maybe it was our pair only. We exchanged for "wireless" different brand "logics" (which he's not to excited about wireless as batteries get eaten up) BUT because he didn't have an option with stock he had to get the wireless and he ended loving them as he's able to charge them while playing.

I have Astro A50's, HyperX Cloud, HyperX Cloud Pro, and Turtle Beach XO 3 headsets, and previously had a Steel Series Arctis 7. My Astro A40's are more reliable, and provide as good or better sound than them all. That's all anyone needs to know.

I am using these with a Creative z series sound card. When I can get them to work, they are comfortable and sound great, but I usually have to fiddle with all my settings for 20 minutes, and I cannot always get them to work, or the sound stays on my primary speakers and I can't game. It's probably my system, but it is frustrating when I cannot use them.

I upgraded from a pair of Corsair Void RGB to these, and seeing as its on console, they weren't optimized so nothing really worked too well. But these, oh these, are like my ears being caressed by God himself. They are definitely worth the $200 I paid.

My son's headphones are worn every day after school to game with his friends. He says they are great, and is very pleased with them. Our local Best Buy had them in stock, so we bought online and picked them up at our store.

This was probably the best headset purchase ever. Simple setup, no installations what so ever. Also very very comfortable even during extended gaming. I highly recommend this more than a razer headset.

This is an awesome headset with terrific sound. To really reap the benefits of it you will need to by the separate Astro mix amp. I would suggest the last generation no amp that works with all consoles.

These headphones are top notch for gaming. I use them with my PC the majority of the time. They also keep out the noise around me too which is why a spent the money on them.

there was a short in the splitter cable & the headset would echo sound into the mic when it was muted for some reason. Had to return it. Great sound though.

I had returned turtles 3 times because they kept breaking so the salesgirl suggested Astros. A little more expensive, but definitely worth it. They are hands down the best!
