- Software doesn't work like it should ( Check the Logitech forums).
- There is some distortion coming from the low end, even at low volume. example Armored Warfare the count down clock tick distorts, CS:GO I also noticed some high and low end distortion. Never had this problem with my G35 headset.
- EQ settings in The LGS software does not work. Yes you can adjust the EQ settings, BUT the sound does not change.

Conclusion
After reading up on G633, even with the negative reviews on Logitech's forums, I still bought these.....Shame on me. Most of the time I get lucky and its user error. I can safely say its not user error, But Logitech's error. The Logitech forums is bottomless pit of problems relating to the software. The Logitech Gaming Software 8.75.30 has been problematic for G930, G35, G933, G633. Thank GAWD it has not effected my G502 mouse or my Orion spark keyboard. SO, don't walk, RUN way from these until Logitech fixes all the problems that they have with the software. I will be returning these today, Sad cause I really wanted to like these. I am using Windows 7 64. Z97 motherboard with on board sound

Not bad printer, If on sale
on September 7, 2014
Posted by: JD1970
from Calif
This is a nice printer, IF you get it on sale.
I bought this printer to upgrade from my Epson 600 workforce. I figured newer model might have new features and possibly use less ink. I have other canon products, Trust name ext, ext, ext......
Cons
First off WIFI setup was a PITA ( Compared to my Epson).
Seems to use more ink Then the Epson ( Not by much)
Ink Cartridges cost more then the epsons ( not by much)
Not a big fan of the tray that holds the printed documents. Papers easily fall off
Instructions are average at best
Pros
Looks nicer then the Epson lol
Printing speeds are just a tad slower the then Epson
WIFI works great (Once you get it to work)
Has a paper cartridge holder at the bottom.
Has a few more features ( Software)

This a decent printer, but not for 199.99 . I prefer my old Epson to this printer. I guess I could have taken this back to try the newer epsons, but this still works ok and still meets my needs.
In the software this has a few more cleaning programs that are really nice. Don't get me wrong this this is a nice printer, but folks if your heart is set on getting this ONLY BUY IT, IF IT IS ON SALE. I have seen BB list this on sale for as low as 99.99.

WIFI setup- spent a hour trying to get this printer to connect to my computer. Followed the instructions over and over and over again. I was about to package it up and take it back, then I tried it one more time and it connected. I didn't do any thing different........
I recommend before you hook this printer up , let it sit on your lap, pet it, talk really nice to it, again BEFORE you connect it ;-)

What's great about it: Not to loud, Print speed ok
What's not so great: Ink usage, WIFI set up

Take control of the on-screen action with this Logitech G710+ 920-003887 mechanical keyboard, which features 124 responsive, high-speed keys for enhanced tactile feedback. Six G-keys can be programmed to map a wide range of functions to the keyboard.

Pros - While the brown mechanical switches are a pleasure to type with. Not that noisy, If you are coming from a membrane keyboard you will notice some sound, But it is not that bad. Coming from a Logitech 510.
Cons - Why only have half the key backlit? Don't get me wrong this is a fully backlit keyboard. BUT only half the key lights up, If you do not know the layout of a keyboard you better have a lamp on your desktop or a flashlight handy. Example: !@#$%^&*()_+}{":?>< among others cannot be seen unless you have some lighting in the room. Logitech dropped the bomb on this. Even with the brightness set to blinding, you still only see half the key lit up.

Conclusion - If you know the layout of a keyboard the backlighting may not be a problem for you. It really is a pleasure to type on brown switches coming from a membrane keyboard. Sorry to say just picked this up 2 hours ago, packaging it up and returning it tomorrow.
Side note - If you look at the one they have set up at best buy, It looks all the keys Fully light up.

I actually returned this item because it didn't do everything it stated. (Said 3D, when it wasn't actually 3D unless you used different components etc.) not worth the price for the features, found a better TV with better features that I use as a monitor now and it was cheaper.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that while gaming the 7.1 feature is all messed up also. This is due to the software issue. I sure once Logitech figures out all of the problems, this will be a sweet sounding gaming headphone

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.

4 out of 5Overall Great Headset
By BigSid22

Extremely comfortable. I've own all the high end headsets. My previous Turtlebeach Elite 800 crapped on me so I returned them. (Get warranty!!!!!). The reason I gave them a 4 out of 5; is because for some odd reason after updating the firmware before using them. On the ps3 side of things the chat isn't working, but the PS4 & PC are working flawless. The Astro command center is a great feature even though they delayed it from 12/2013 Astro Gen 1&2. With the new digital mixamp vs the old gen analog version. It definitely sound cleaner and much richer. The sound quality is awesome. Mic quality is great with the exception of the PS3 on day 1. So take that into consideration. Great job Astro but fix the minor kinks.

Sound Quality
November 8, 2015
How is the sound on these things? I know Turtle beach I had in the past where heavy on bass, the mids and high where none existent, I couldn't stand it. So trying to find out how the sound is. I prefer a equal natural sound then adjust to my taste thru the EQ. Any insight would be appricated. Thanks!

Had these for a week and ended up returning them.

- Nice warm bass
- The Amp + pro nice feature for if you want to turn down your friends volume when they are talking and listen to more what's happening in game.

Pro -Like I said Hands down these are the most comfortable headphones you will ever wear. I put them on and experienced the WOW factor in comfort, even with glasses on.
Pro -Like I said Hands down these are the most comfortable headphones you will ever wear. I put them on and experienced the WOW factor in comfort, even with glasses on.
Pro- The Mixamp +pro has some nice features. You have two knobs, one for volume and one for game and voice If you want to hear more what's happening in game and less voice chat from your friends, turn the knob more to game side. The voice chatter will lower and you hear more of the effects of the game. Big plus in my book
Con -The microphone would stop working, Then would work ext..... Tried unplugging and then plugging everything back in, checking to make sure they where plugged in all the way. Tried different USB ports, Still wouldn't work. Tried synching the software. Nope,. still would not work. Then after awhile, out of nowhere, The mic would start to work again (TS and CS). Very frustrating.
The sound quality
Con -While the bass had a nice warm sound, The mid's and the highs sounded terrible. Mid's sounded muffled, Highs not crisp at all ( almost none existent). No matter how much I played with the EQ and the software, I could not get these to produce a descent sound.

Conclusion
I gave this two stars, One for comfort and one for bass. For the asking price of these (249.99) IMHO it is not worth it .If you are into a bass sounding headphone, you may like these. If you are like me and prefer a more neutral sound, I would suggest getting a good sound card and a good pair of headphones. Then adjust the sound to your listening flavor. Motherboard sound has come a long way in my 10yrs of gaming and looks great on paper, But still will not produce a good sound quality like a dedicated soundcard will.

I ended up with a Creative ZX soundcard and Sennheiser G4ME ONE headphones. Much better (not perfect) sound for around the same price. The G4ME ONES headphone have better Mid's and High's and a nice warm bass ( not punchy) and Yes, The soundcard did make a difference. As you can tell I mainly game on PC and did not try the Astro's on a console

I enjoy our new Alpine car stereo with Bluetooth. Bluetooth links easily with my iPhone for both music and phone for hands-free operation. Dislike: radio channel options. Still reading the manual to see if I can manually select what radio stations I want instead of the first six strongest stations the radio picks up when setting the "preset" channels.
