You game with the best, so it's crucial that you're always aware of the environment around you. Every snap of a twig or communication among teammates is critical to getting the win. With the A40 Wired Surround Sound Gaming Headset, you can hear every detail in stunning clarity thanks to ASTRO Audio and an optimal balance between in-game sounds and vocal transmissions. It's easy to deliver instructions or just chat after a legendary victory with a precision microphone — and when you're done playing, simply remove the mic to enjoy your favorite tunes or movie audio. Pro gamers and livestreamers will appreciate the digital components of the included MIXAMP Pro, which help make lag and interference a thing of the past. Enhance your next gaming session with bold, crisp sound that puts you in the heart of the action.

Technical Review Of Headset
on February 17, 2016
Posted by: Kent
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ok, so hopefully this will be a thorough review for those of you wondering about this headset. I did a ton of research before purchasing and may answer some of the question you have.
First, let me start by stating that Best Buy has mislabled this item. It is actually the A40TR not the A40. The picture and the model number both are of the TR version, which is newer, however the listing that Best Buy has is of the A40. If you are wanting the TR version, which I did when purchasing, please note you are getting the newest version even though Best Buy mislabeled it.
Second, let me note that this headset requires the mixamp. If you are thinking of getting just the headset you would need to find some way to adapter the single 3.5mm to both headphones/mic for pc. I did not have a spliter handy so I could not test to see if it works. That said I did just try to plug directly into the headphone out on the pc and could not hear anything.
As for the headset itself, I will break it down into a few different categories below and rate each one.
Comfort- 10/10 - This is definitely the nicest feeling and most sturdy headset I have ever purchased. Previously I was using a Razer Kraken Pro and after a few hours my head would hurt from the pressure and it felt like my ears were going to melt from the heat. I switched to the A40TR and immediately felt the difference. After 3-4 hours my head doesn't hurt and my ears aren't hot.
Sound - 10/10 - The sound on this headset is absolutely incredible. I am hearing sounds in games I never heard before. It is most noticeable in FPS games. Sounds are clear and distinct without any distortions.
Connectivity - 8/10 - So yes the mixamp does what it should and connects to my PS3 and PC. PC via 3.5mm and PS3 via optical. That said, the transition between the two definitely isn't seamless. That might be because of the software, which I will address next. Going from PC to PS3 has no issue, but going back to PC often doesn't work and I have to power recycle the mixamp to hear the sound again. Definitely not a defect in my unit as I had the same issue in 2 different ones.
Software - 2/10 - This software is flat garbage. It is almost as bad as their support, which I will get to next. It frequently crashes, has numerous issues with firmware prompts (which I turned off), and has very little customization. The tournament sound mode is by far the best all around. Other than that the software is just intrusive and annoying. The frustrating part is that the headset/mixamp don't work without the software being installed and open.
Support - 0/10 - Ok, so as an IT Tech I have dealt with difficult and frustrating support before. In fact, I deal with it on an almost daily basis. That said, Astro sets a new low in their assistance. I contacted support, which by the way can only be done by email (I wonder why), and received a response to my email within a day. The time was respectable but the email was a literal copy and paste of their website, which wasn't even related to my email. The next email was also a copy and paste of their website. On the third email his solution was to send the headset in for repair. I told him there was nothing wrong with the headset and that the issue was their horrible software. He said that was the only solution available. I took the headset back to the store and exchanged it for another one. Same issue. I responded that I replaced it with another one and had the same issue. He said I should sent that one in for repair. Clearly their support team has no clue what they are doing. Don't expect any help from them.
Overall the hardware is incredible. The software is pretty bad but is functional. If you are good with handling equipment then feel free to purchase it. Just don't expect any support or help from them.

Played the beta and loved it, love the actual game even more. Tons of game modes available to play. The game itself reminds me a lot of BF4 with the vehicles but has all the Star Wars elements. Only 3 days in and I am dropping tons of hours on this game. Its definitely a must have game.

Nice Smooth Mousepad
on November 19, 2015
Posted by: Kent
Verified Purchase:Yes
I actually have 2 of these. They are much nicer than standard mouse pads and get the job done. Nothing flashy, but if you are a gamer like me they don't wear your wrists down as much. They also seem to help with sweat.

Good Price - Tied With Amazon But No Wait

Considering these toothbrush heads can easily last for 6 months 3 for $28 isn't bad at all. Bought a pack with the toothbrush, which is a good idea. As time goes on the brush heads get harder to find and more expensive.

Works the way it should. Doesn't have features like interval timer to switch sides. Brushes are fairly inexpensive. Purchased on sale for around $40 each so I can't complain.
