Review: Best on market, especially at the price - This headset is the best headset I've used in a very long time. My astro a50 gen 4 recently stopped working, and I then proceeded down a deep hole of trying literally every headset I could get my hands on. Went through 2 different a50s and both were not working correctly. I went to the steelseries line, and those have absolutely zero base or even mids. Even the newest arcitus nova pro wireless, which is $350, had so little base compared to the a50. I tried razer nari ultimate, still not enough low end. I tried the hyperx cloud alpha wireless, which was great. But the mic had to essentially be in my mouth for it to pick up my voice, which I dont want to be eating the mic for people to hear me. I really really wanted a wireless headset, but nothing worked, not even replacement a50. So when prime day rolled around, the a40s went on sale. For $100 there is literally no better headset for gaming. It's essentially the a50s, but wired. Especially with the mix amp, allowing for really fine tuning of the sound. This headset doesn't come with the mix amp, but the mix amp is not a must have at all. The headset is ultra comfortable right out of the box, and astro sells mod kits to make them completely noise cancelling. My brother has the same set and the kit, and the passive noise cancelling from the upgraded speaker tags and leatherette earcups is almost dangerous. The headset becomes so closed with the mod kit, that almost creates a small suction on your head, completely blocking out outside noise when there's sound going through the headset. It also comes out of the box as a open OR closed back headset. Which I've not seen in any other headset on the market. Literally just pop off the speaker tags and you have an open back headset. Put them back on and you have closed back. Super easy with the magnets that hold the tags on. Mic can also be used on either side of the headset, if you prefer your mic to be on the right side of your head. There's only two things that bothered me at first. I say at first because I pretty quickly got over them. But the mic is not flip to mute. I don't know why, especially seeing how every other model they sell is flip to mute. The mute is on the cable itself. And the second is the cable. It's just about 6 feet long, which I understand why. It's so you can buy the mix amp and use that with the more convenient longer cable. But I don't have the mix amp, so having to juggle a six foot cable in my lap from the controller to the headset got extremely annoying, extremely quickly. I ended up buying the $20 astro a40 mobile cable, which is what should honestly come with the headset. Their mobile cable still works with any normal 3.5 Jack, but it's long 3ish feet long, and has a mute, hold to mute and volume wheel. That cable is what should come with the headset, but doesn't. Oh well Definitely the absolute best headset I've used. Only topped by the a50 in my opinion. But the $150, it's without a doubt my new main headset, probably for years to come
Review: just what i spected, maybe i little bit more - i have not try too many gaming headphones being my first and previous pair the sennheiser gsp 300, but it at least i can compare the experience of these. First the audio is incredible detail, ease to identify steps locate other players, compare the gsp im able to locate even easier other players. Something i realize when i use then for the first time is that the a40 have more impedance so the sound is a little bit lower than the gsp wich can blow your head off, byt the way i use then on a ps4 and i dont conect the headphones to the controller, i use a usb sound card wich emulate the 7.1 sorround sound, and increase the sound a little bit. The headphoes are basically open back headphones if you dont buy the mod kit, so keep in mind that if you are planning to use these on a ps4 controller you better make sure you are on a quite enviroment, otherwise you will need to get the mod kit to avoid noises to leak inside. Constructions is sturdy, compare to the gsp300 these are heavier, i mean feel like are double the weight of the gsp 300 from sennheiser, obviously the a40 is made with more durable materials. Taking appart the heavier the a40 feel(i was using the gsp 300 for 8 months so maybe thats why i feel that something unconfortable but maybe after a couple of weeks it will be all rigth) the a 40 are confortable, the earpads are super soft and just as i was expecting my ears dont feel war of swety, and now i can play more time without taking the headsets off every match because my ears are swet(i live on a very hot place so it become a anoying situation so if you dont an AC the a40 will work for you) Microphone is OK, i mean, iwas not expecting then to be great, my friends say the sound of my voice is clear but after using the gsp300 headphones i dont think there will be anything better on a headset, compare with other headphones its a lot better, specially compare to the headphones that come with the ps4. Noise cancelling works great and i love that i can change the headphones to the right side, i normally play with a fan next to me i can only use it on my right side so when i have the mic on my left this make a horrible noise because of the air and my friends always complain about that, so know i can move the mic the noise just disappear, i dont like that you need to use a switch on the cable to mute the mic, but you get use to it after a couple of hours(i still lift the mic to mute it like the gsp300 and then remember is does not work that way) In conclusion you won be dissaponted by getting this headset, i dont have to recommend then because you already got lots of recommendations for then, but if you have the money, and love to play on competitive, go ahead and buy then.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the mic flexible, because i might want the mic piece on the right side of my ear. just ocd issues please let me know?**
A: I don't think it can be moved side to side but it does have 360 degrees of movement. So if there was a way, in settings maybe, to reverse the speaker output side to side you could just wear them backwards. I'm not sure if that's an option or not. It is a GREAT headset though. I love it

**Q: Will it work on the Ps4 slim?**
A: Yes it does, connects to the controller

**Q: does it come with a case?**
A: It comes in a box that can be used as a case but the box is pretty large.

**Q: does this headset work with my a30 mix amp?**
A: It should, with any mixamp

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the best headset for the price
*by E***I on September 4, 2022*

Update: I will keep the original review below. Well after 1.5 almost 2 years of hard use i switched from 4/5 to 5/5 stars. I’ve stepped on this thing about a dozen times, rolled over every portion of the cord with my chair, dropped it a ton and even walked away from my setup and had the thing ripped off my head onto the ground, lol oops. This thing still feels and works like it did day one. I still don’t love the headset doesn’t have a usb adapter but besides that this thing is rugged and crisp. I still recommend HyperX cloud II’s but these Astros are a close second in effectiveness and quality, while admittedly being a little cooler looking. This has got to be my second favorite headset I’ve ever owned, and I’ve had a few! I would recommend you check out the HyperX Cloud II headset as well. After buying these new A40’s, I’ve gotta say they’re much less comfy and sturdy than the Clouds. Also the mic and audio quality are MUCH better on the HyperX cloud headsets. Along with that, the Cloud II’s include a small “mix amp” like adapter that allows change of game to chat volume, surround sound toggle, and mute button. Bottom line, the only thing these Astros have on the HyperX headset I had previously is looks, they definitely have a cooler design. My recommendation is you don’t buy these a40’s before you consider the HyperX Cloud II’s.
