bruh what, such a good review and a high quality video and theress barely any views. u deserve more recognition
Very much appreciated
@muhdadam5601!! Thank you for the support and checking out the video!!
That’s what im saying
@@ronnstackz Much appreciated my friend 🙂👍
wtf is a bruh?
I am still rocking my astro a40s from xbox 360 nearly 9 years dont have any sign being worn out
Such a high quality review, many congratulations. However, dividing it into parts like: Intro, mic test, etc I think helps the public a lot. Just a small thing tho, the video in general is perfect enough, thank you.
Thanks a bunch @Elariramirez5902! I will definitely try to include more time stamps in future videos. Greatly appreciate the feedback!
I also love these! I had them forever and then I tried a few wireless ones but these are just my favorite, never have issues with them and the quality is all great! I enjoyed the review thanks for posting!
Thank you for checking out the video @TortoisesBL!! It is a great headset, good bassy sound and comfort.
Solid review and great video quality 👌🏽 cant wait to see this channel grow!
Thank you @SenorPelican56!! Greatly appreciate the kind words and support! 🙂
I gamed for 8 to 10 hours everyday 4 years with this headset very solid . Yes, eight to 10 hours every day
I got my first A40s when the xbox one came out. I always found them so comfortable. Eventually I developed a hatred for wires, so I went the wireless route with another brand. Recently realized the quality of wired over wireless is incomparable and ordered another pair for myself for Christmas. Glad I kept my gen3 mixamp and my Mr. Meseeks speaker tags. I'm super excited. Excellent review!
Thank you @HoppusBarker44 ! I agree, I tried wireless one time and the sound quality was so bad, I've stuck with wired ever since.
Are you selling the speaker tags?
one thing not everyone knows/covers is that over the years the headset starts to become “heavy” and slowly starts to hurt your head.
fantastic content as usual!! this channel is only going up
The mix amp is what makes the headset
H2O delirious still uses it in 2024 so I think you’ll be fine
I’ve had mine for about 7 years only thing I’ve replaced is the ear cushions absolutely love them
They are a staple headset Kyler! I really hope Logitech does not destroy the Astro name and product line.
Just a warning if you get the a40s with mixamp for series x/s you’re gonna have a very hard time or basically impossible time getting the amp to update
would recommend the A40s had to just replace mine after 9 years of using them nearly daily 10/10 headset.
i used 2 sets of astro a40's (old and new gen) and a lot of steelseries arctis including the pro version.. astros are far beter for sound hearing imo
ive had a40s for 10 years. ive heard the ARCTIS NOVA PRO with the dac are better and im a astro fan boy. can you elaborate?
Did you use Dolby atmos or just the regular sound of the headset
@@julianhtx713 regular (the star icon) in combination with the dolby atmos app on pc
I'm disappointed that the ear tags on the website is gone for customization
I have the Astro a40 headphones with a gen3 tr mixamp and my microphone doesn’t work . The firmware is updated and the sound quality is amazing. I use them for my Xbox series s. HELP ME PLEASE!
Naa man my headset has a female port error it sounds like static or maybe it's the cord but idk I think something is wrong with the headset itself or the cord idk.
The links in the description are the A40 TR links. The headset you are reviewing in the video is the 2013 version, correct?
Hi @pryo6382! I believe they are the same year/Model, the ones in the video are also the most recent TR Astros, they were just purchased from the design lab.
Where can I get white astro a40? I can only see the black red variant 😢
Hi @notreally2257! This was ordered through Astro's Custom Lab, which looks to be closed down since Logitech acquired Astro gaming 😞
Do you find that the ear cushions aren't big ( tall and wide ) enough on the inside and hurts your ears after awhile?
Hi Matt. I haven't found this with the A40s yet, but have experienced it with other headsets I have tried.
I really love this headset but I might have to move away from it.
I love the Mix amp and the game/chat audio. However on ps5 there is no digital audio port. The astro hdmi audio extractor does not let me do 1440p 120hz.
I’ve been trying to find a workaround for months now. I spent $400 on this headset about 4 years ago, any options remotely close are about $450 now.
If anyone has a workaround for PS5, please let me know
use the tv optical port.
you think its worth to put a Pop Filter on the mic
great video
Lol i love the halo weapon props
Thank you Blake! For a while I didn't have much decor, so just decided to 3D print some props 😂
I had a question about downloading the software it won’t let me use it if I don’t have a Astro controller is there a way to get around that
I have the A40 TR’s with the amp
Hi @espiridionhinojosa5260. There unfortunately not a way around this since the headset its self doesn't have any sort of chip built in for adjustments.
Will the a40 tr pc work for my Xbox series S
Hi Mantic. I believe they would work for both, some TR headsets can be purchased for PC/XBOX or PC/PlayStation, but I think that is for the Mix amp compatibility, not the headset itself.
Astro a40 plus soundblaster g6 kils a40s with astro amp
How’d you get an orange one? Please
Hi McFlurry! This was ordered through Astro's Custom Lab, which looks to be closed down since Logitech acquired Astro gaming 😞
@@JakeVirdenTech oh thank you 🙏
Don’t forget to tell people how you cannot use this headset unless you have a pc to connect this to for the required update :) absolute bonkers
i use this headset on ps5 controller works just fine
@@9intrachtyou are using them without mixamp, so no dolby 7.1
The headset needs a pc shut up the amp can be updated via a pc and the amp is pants get a sound blaster g6 instead and yes that needs apc to to go into the app so what g6 and a40s is amazing add in dolby atmos and boooom god level
@@audie-cashstack-uk4881speak english
@@audie-cashstack-uk4881how u update on the pc?
Do Astro a40s work on ps4? I would love to know.
Hi @kuxxololyt4256. The headset itself should be compatible, but depending on if you are using the Mix amp, the amp will need to be PS4 compatible.
@@JakeVirdenTech I got the ps4 version and no mix amp came with it. Does the mix amp make the volume get louder and should I buy it?
@@one2oo.the mixamp gives you dolby 7.1 technology
Of course they do there headphones they work on everything do not get the amp get a sound blaster g6 instead set to stereo and use sonys 3d 360 sound instead of other suround formats just use the amp to boost quality of stereo sound set to 3d suround and enjoy take of the back plates open backs sound way better
It's worth!!!! If you have the money
