I have loved the quality of this headset for work purposes, video games and movies in my home office. It's been fantastic and I have had no issues with the quality. ********NOTE********* If your MIC audio is not working, check the cable to the headset.

Astro Gaming is one of the biggest names in high-end gaming headsets , and for good reason. The wired A40 and wireless A50 headsets have been around in some form for years, and they remain highly regarded tools for team-based competitive gaming.

Solid design and build; Good sound quality; Custom art options available; MixAmp Pro TR puts plenty of physical controls within reach

Very expensive, especially for a wired headset; Surround sound isn't effective in a headset

For someone who isn't a huge audiophile, I end up using a variety of headsets any given year. I mean, sure, at full disclosure, most of them are sent to me for review purposes, so therefore it is my job to wear them and then write about them, but out of the many, there are only a handful I will go...

Finding the right headset can be difficult these days. With an overabundance of products on the market, purchasing the piece of equipment that is tailored to your specific needs can require a fair bit of trial and error.

Something can be said about how Astro Gaming keeps taking it up a notch. The Astro Gaming A40s is an incredible pair of gaming headsets, and when you combine them with a Mixamp gaming magic happens.

If you want a wired gaming headset that delivers top-notch audio quality then the Astro A40 TR should be very high up your list.

Comfortable over long periods; Class-leading audio quality; Great customisability options; Optional MixAmp works well

Design won't be to everyone's tastes; Relatively expensive; Slightly nasally microphone

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.

The sound quality is great; The headset is probably the most comfortable I've ever worn

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.
