ASTRO Gaming A40 TR Wired Gaming Headset, ASTRO Audio V2, Dolby ATMOS, 3.5mm Audio Jack, Swappable Mic, for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - Black/Red

I’m writing this review rn while listening to music with them and i just need to say, they’re incredible even without the mix amp. First of all i’d like to say don’t buy these if you’re planning on going back to cheap headphones because they’ll be horrible. I can no longer stand to wear my old headphones because they’re not as deep, soft or cosy as these, the sound quality is night and day, rather than having headphones stuck to your head it feels like they’re all around you. They’re great for gaming, loud but never echo and Crystal clear, i loaded up a game and started noticing things i never knew made sound, the music listening experience is also great with these, 3D audio for music which is mind blowing and there’s no tearing, deep base and you once again you notice all the background that wasn’t there in your old headphones, also all the customisation stuff is cool and it means the headset isn’t broken if you accidentally ruin the wire, great build quality also.

Very sturdy & comfy, can wear the headset for a good couple of hours without getting uncomfortable, stays on perfectly for long times even when moving unlike previous headsets I’ve owned that like to slide off. Good directional sound & quality definitely worth the money especially compared to other headsets for the same price range. Only issue is without the Mix-amp, getting all your volumes to the right level can be tricky but with a bit of time can still set it perfect.

I can hear everything in competitive gaming. The quality is good, the only downside is that the mic sounds bad to other people and even if you dislike it you can replace it.

I purchased the black/blue headset mostly for Xbox One without the MixAmp (the box prominently states for PS4 though, not sure why it is ‘made for PS4’). I think the sound is great for Xbox gaming, music and movie watching. I have an issue with comfort unfortunately. The headsets hurt both of my ears and head around the ears, mainly the left side one – I can feel my ear on yeh speaker driver. It seems like the headset is very comfortable at first and it takes maybe 30 minutes or so to begin to get painful. The top of my head also aches a little with the thin padding and I have no hair at all so that does not help. It also starts to give me a headache, I think. I had considered buying the mod kit but I don’t want to pay another £45+ ish for them when I will only really want to use the ear pads and the top cushion. Anyway, the leather pads do not seem that much thicker than the stock ones. I prefer open backed design and apparently the mic is not as good as the stock one so I expect I would not use the microphone of speaker tags. Speaking of the microphone. I think it sounds good and it’s useful that it rotates all the way around. I am not bothered it cannot be muted because I attached the headset to the Xbox stereo adaptor which makes it easier to adjust volume and mute the mic (It’s a very good ‘thing’ and if you don’t have the adaptor you should get one). The cable is rubbery, long and removable but at the top and where the main jack is, is quite long before the cable material starts and it can interfere with clothes I am wearing if they have a high collar. I If turn my head to the left the cable kind of gets in the way because it’s so stiff. I hope that explanation is clear. It’s not too bad though and I could live with that minor issue. The headset is simple and quick to adjust and finding the right position is easy and the ear cups move a little bit while on your head. The volume of the headset while listening to music is slightly less loud than HyperX headsets I have tried and I can increase the volume to maximum on my Android phone, but I’d not want to listen to music that loudly. In-game sounds are loud enough and I would not want to play games at max volume as that would be too high. I tried Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos on the Xbox and IMO Windows Sonic sounds better I expect this headset will be returned to Amazon in the new year because of the comfort issue I have, if the pads were thicker or if there were third-party pads that would fit, I expect I would give them a go and hopefully that would mean I could continue using the headset. I am disappointed because the headset is pretty good otherwise. Definitely one of the best I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot! Interesting fact, there are currently 58 ratings on Amazon and 16 of them are VINE.

best headset ever wire stopped working randomly though

For PC, I've found the sound quality ok, nothing to shout about. The microphone is incredibly quiet, to the extent I've bought separate one and stopped using it altogether. One side of the adjustable headphones became loose after not having it long, so I've put some card in the side of it to stop it slipping. Reasonably comfortable, other than having to botch the sizing. Easy to setup and use. Alright for a £30-40 headset, not the £130 I paid. *Edit - the sound cut out in one ear yesterday and today has stopped working all together. They've lasted a year and a few months...

By far the best headset i’ve used for gaming, for both comfort & performance. I’ve been using this for almost a year for games such as Call of Duty / Warzone / Fortnite & the foam pads make this so comfortable. The mic is by far one of best qualities i’ve come across for a ‘headset mic’ - but still isn’t to the standards of an XLR mic for context.

Excellent noise cancellation and great price .

Says Wired USB on the sales information on Amazon yet no USB connector found in this box, is this correct or faulty or just plain false advertising?

waar deze headset in uitblinkt + draagcomfort uitstekend + geluid, muziek, gaming uitstekend het minpunt van deze headset, hopelijk toekomst gericht gebruiken ze een mic van betere kwaliteit - microfoon is zeer mattig

Comfortabelste headset op de markt vind ik. Heb er ondertussen heeel veeel besteld en op mijn hoofd gehad. Kwaliteit is goed en het geluid is super.

Muy buenos cascos, tanto por comodidad como por calidad de sonido. Solo con ponértelos ya se nota que es un producto premium. Obviamente son caros, pero porque así es esta marca, pero creo que si te los puedes permitir merecen la pena por encima de los a50. A mí por lo menos no me molesta el hecho de que tengan cable.

Comprato su Amazon seconda mano ad un prezzo ridicolo approfittando anche dello sconto extra del 15%. Le cuffie erano in "ottimo stato" ed erano vagamente sporche le coperture degli auricolari, pulite rapidamente con alcol e tornate come nuove. Cuffie facili da guidare, ottimo l'attacco da 3.5 con prolunga per attaccarlo sia su singolo jack audio più microfono o sui due jack separati. Prima impressione venendo da cuffie sennheiser, sembrano scomode sulla testa, dopo un paio d'ore ti "abitui" alla posizione e sono comodissime. Microfono di buona qualità, nella media per cuffie di questa fascia. Unica nota negativa il cavo non è telato ma solo di gomma e "sembra" un po' cheap. Sotto 100 euro best buy a mio avviso
