Astro's latest A40 headset lets you customise your gaming cans (hands-on)

Astro A40 Wireless System review: Astro A40 Wireless System

Astro A40 Wireless System

Great 5.1 to 7.1 surround simulation; fairly easy to set up; comfortable and lightweight headset; wireless audio transmission; completely adjustable/removable boom mic; customizable volume levels; optical in/out; can work with any headphones.

Pricey; not exactly fully wireless; some items sold separately; no direct solution for multiple console connections.

While a bit pricey, the Astro A40 Wireless System is easily one of the best virtual surround-sound gaming headset systems we've ever tested.

Review: Astro Gaming A40 Audio Gaming System

If you frequent LAN parties, or an ill-tempered roommate / significant other/ downstairs neighbor disapproves of muzzle fire thundering from your speakers at 4 AM,...

Comfort, for multiple head and hair sizes. Clear voice quality is a plus for smack-talking. Connectivity options to complement most setups

PC gamers won’t mind, but wireless La-Z-Boy warriors probably don’t want to be tethered to their audio system. Add every component up and you’ve got an expensive setup on your hands

Astro A40

If you're looking for a headset that can work with just about anything you can play games on, the A40s are worth looking at.

Very comfortable.; Angled drivers.; Solid design

Cumbersome cord

At the end of the day, what you get with the Astro A40s is certainly very impressive, if you’re looking for a headset that can work with just about anything you can play games on. While it is very pricy compared to some of the lower-end headsets, you...

Astro A40BXR 2011 Edition Gaming Headset – PC/Console Hardware Review

The other day, as my 12 year old daughter's tennis lesson was about to start, the tennis pro was approached by a parent who had borrowed a racket. The conversation was open and as the parent received an answer as to the price of the racket, my daughter...

Professional grade headset. Superior sound, mic, and ergonomics

Astro Gaming A40 + MixAmp M80 review

A great-sounding pair of gaming headphones with handy extras for Xbox One owners, but everyone else can hear what you're playing as well

As a result, the A40 & M80 MixAmp set comes with a rather large caveat. They sound superb and the M80 attachment is incredibly useful if you have an Xbox One, but their noticeable sound bleed will likely annoy anyone else in the room. This won't be a...
