Product Information

Like all A40s, these are quite comfortable. I didn’t experience any head fatigue, no matter how long I was playing, and I have a seven 5/8ths head. Astro A40 TR + MixAmp Pro TR – Gaming Software

Astro’s very own wireless A50 is a model I wish other companies would emulate, with Game/Chat mixing (or chat-mix), volume, EQ, mute, and Dolby all easily accessible and relatively intuitive. But on the A40? There’s a mute toggle on the cable and that’s it—not even a volume wheel. Mix it up If that sounds like a lot, well, the A40 isn’t for you. Astro A40 TR + MixAmp Pro TR – Gaming Performance The MixAmp is where Astro’s undertaken the bulk of this fourth-generation redesign. The previous MixAmp was oriented vertically, with one enormous volume dial over the smaller one for chat-mix.Update 02/23/2021: Some users have reported that their headphones' sound profile changed when used wired via USB on the Xbox Series X|S after firmware update 36797. While we don't run sound testing on consoles, we did a subjective sweep to compare audio quality when connected to a PC via USB and the Xbox Series X via USB. We noticed that audio sounded tighter and sharper on the PC, while audio from the Xbox was more bass-heavy. Unfortunately, we don't have a measurement of the Xbox's audio pre-firmware update to compare it to.

All current ASTRO Gaming products designed for Xbox will offer continuous compatibility on Xbox: Series X|S. The Windows 10 version ASTRO Command Center software, from the Microsoft Store, enables full configuration of the adjustable settings for these ASTRO devices:The A40's microphone sounds excellent. Test recordings were clean and warm, neither sounding fuzzy nor overly sibilant. This is a very good headset microphone for voice chat, commentary, and even podcasting (though we recommend getting a dedicated USB microphone if you're serious about audio recording).
