The sound is fantastic but the color is peeling

I've been using this headset on my Playstation and PC for 6 months now and the sound is fantastic. If you have the money, buy the booster pack, the improvement is huge. Performance is top notch. The bad news is that the paint is peeling off the headband and ear cups and my hands are covered in small grayish black dots every time I use them. You can see the clear plastic underneath, which is disappointing for a high-end headset. I love and care for them very much and keep them on a padded…

  • Hands-free

One star is still too generous.

Where do you even start with these A40s? I already had two or three pairs of Astro A10s and decided it was time to switch to their big brother. What a mistake. From the moment I unboxed the A40s I admired the solid frame and design, but that's where the positives end. Cons: Even at maximum volume, they're half as quick to respond to noise as the A10. The microphone is an absolute joke. Half the time it doesn't even work due to a defect in the bezels on the side. This keeps Jack from fully…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Out of style

Disappointed - Accessories

I've been looking for a good gaming headset for a long time. Contacted Astro for reviews and recommendations. After receiving the headset, I plugged it in and tried to set up the mic. The microphone didn't work. I've tried several things to fix this but to no avail. Feel a little cheap. The ear pads are soft but uncomfortable due to the material. I think that's why they sell "upgrade kits" so you have to shell out an extra $60 for soundproofing and softer materials. I see the benefits of…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Not sure

Quality and comfort!

I have had Astro headphones for 4 years now. I started out with the A10s, which sound great but (at least in my opinion) get pretty uncomfortable after a few hours. About a year ago I upgraded to the A40 TR 10th Anniversary Edition because they were the only ones available without a mixamp (personally I just prefer not to juggle more wires and cables than necessary, just plug and play ). There is nothing wrong with them, they feel and sound great, they just don't match my gaming rig aesthetic…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some trouble

An expensive headset shouldn't have this problem

I just got my ASTRO A40 for PS4, might use it for PS5 too. The headset is a good weight and the quality seems better than any other headset I've bought. Also very comfortable. However, there are two problems for which I cannot find a solution. Firstly, I always leave my headset plugged into the controller after I'm done playing and when I turn on my Ps4 for the next session, the mic doesn't work. I have to unplug and plug my mic back in every time I log into my PS4 for it to work. It's a minor…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Nothing here

Do not buy this if you have a PS4

These are the worst headphones I have ever bought. I use it for my PS4. Without the mixamp, the headphones sound even worse than the $30 headphones that come with the iPhone. I've tested in every game I own, from FPS to survival games (Apex Legend and you can barely hear their footsteps and shots, CoD with a high boost sound but still crap, and Dead By Daylight - generally no heartbeat). So, even though there might just not be enough headphones out there (stupid of me), I bought myself a…

Enjoyable, no complaints so far

I've only had this headset for 2 days so keep that in mind as you read. My Astro A40 TR was well packaged and undamaged. As soon as I opened the box I fell in love with the look and style of the headset. Black and blue with a silver trim is my favorite color combination which is why I bought it. I have an old Astro A40 headset that I received as a gift but it was in the brown/green Xbox camouflage which I didn't really like but still appreciated. Given that I bought a Ps4 Pro I decided to buy a
