"The only way to go for gamers who want surround sound with chat"

I had been waiting quite a while to buy a headset for my ps3/360 needs. I regularly used my friend's Tritton Ax Pro till it broke and was leaning towards that one instead since the surround is pretty awesome and the price was less than the the Astro.
Pros:
  • Clarity
  • good surround
  • new astro 5.8 mixamp gives you more bass than before with your a40s
Cons:
  • Not as much bass for movies/music for movie fans
  • Pricey

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 wondered aloud, "Who would pay $160 for a...

Amazing! Great Buy!

Amazing! Out of all of the gaming headsets i have owned, ( TB x31, Razer Carcharias, Tritton AX Pro's 5.1), these are by far my favorite and then ones i feel are the best with everything from sound quality to mic performance. The headset works flawlessly and took almost no time at all to set up.

Astro A40 Headset

I got these for my son's birthday and he loves them. I did a bit of research online beforehand as teenagers can be careless. I found out that this headset is plastic so these cant be thrown down or left where they could be stood on accidentally but apart from the plastic thing these earphones are...

Decent but complicated

I'd recommend these for the comfort and sound quality. The only reason I don't give it a higher score is the annoyance of having to use their software for a headset that should just be plugin and use.
Pros:
  • The sound quality is great
  • The headset is probably the most comfortable I've ever worn
Cons:
  • Setting up the microphone is probably the most cumbersome thing I've had to deal with
  • You need to download the Astro software and every time you want to use the microphone you have to start it up, go into the settings and select Stream Once you do that other people will have no issues hearing you.
