ASTRO Gaming A40 TR Headset + MixAmp™ M80

Really happy with this product. Headphones look nice and are pleasantly comfortable. Setup of the mixamp on my xbox was relatively easy. Also as I already had an xbox wifi adaptor for my pc it also very easy to setup there. I love the mixamp controls right there on my controller for ease of use. All features of the mixamp worked the same on both xbox and pc. It was great that a two year subscription of Dolby Atomos was included. This feature is fantastic. Recommend.

After using the Astro A50’s for years and loving every minute of the sound, I needed a replacement because the battery life was shot and moving and unplugging the amp multiple times messed up the amps circuit board. I have noticed no difference (or loss) in sound quality moving from the a50’s to the a40 with the mixamp M80, and I enjoy having the sound controls right on the controller. Unless you need the wireless or multiple sound options, this Is a great headset with quality sound.

You get what you pay for, and these are on par to be as good as you can get for wired Xbox one headsets. Comfy, sturdy, and great sound. It came with Dolby atmos so I compared it to stock surround sound settings; I liked the atmos for deeper bass, but I might flip flop between them just to test some more. I love everything about the m80 adapter: layout, feel, lighting display, knob control with push mute and mute backlight, chat/game audio mixer, and the cord is permanently attached on the underside so I no longer accidentally yank the cord out of the standard Xbox adapter. They hit a home run on this one. It’s far and away the best and most streamlined audio controls for an Xbox headset, period. Mic and chat are sufficient and clear. I was a little worried about the interchangeable parts coming loose, but thankfully they’re nice and snug. Only con I can think of: the adapter feels kind of light for having so many controls. Has me worried it might be susceptible to normal wear and tear. Other thing is the ear muffs seem like they’ll be annoying to clean due to being very soft and absorptive material. But, those are just afterthoughts to a splendid purchase.

I have no complaints, good quality. Sound quality is the best I’ve ever experienced with a headset.

I had been using Turtle Beach products for years, and while the audio was always impressive, regardless of the price point, I found the quality to be lacking. Ear pads would develop tears and the band would often crack or break after some time. I chose these Astro A40 TRs because the band was metal and the ear pads were cloth. These were fantastic. Comfy and durable. The mix amp software allows you to tune profiles for whatever you're listening to. I didn't think it was a gimmick but I admit I was surprised at how profound and tangible the tuning could be. I bought these for FPS games I play and ended up using them anytime I consumed any media. Highly recommend.
