Review on ๐ŸŽง ASTRO Gaming A40 TR Wired Headset + MixAmp Pro TR - Dolby Audio for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, Mac (Black/Blue) by Chris Wyffels

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am impressed. Glad I took the risk.

I've been a Turtle Beach fan since about 2010. I ordered the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 and was very disappointed that game volume and chat volume are not separated. I returned them and then thought about buying a Stealth 700, which apparently I did until a friend recommended this Astro headset. It's not wireless and if you pay more you can get it that way. But I figured I could use a wired connection with my setup. The sound is excellent. Very convenient. The blender works fine. Game and chat are separate and easy to customize. The assembly is not difficult, but I made a few mistakes at first because I was in a hurry to assemble and didn't read the instructions completely. I thought I could see it with my eyes. When I first set them up I thought they sounded weak. Not impressed. But of course, when I came back to find that I had twisted the cable from the "mixer" to the headphones and hadn't fully plugged it in, the repair made a pretty big difference. So take a second and read the setup guide. It takes 2 to 5 minutes to read and set up, so don't be an idiot like me. Excellent headdress.

Pros
  • Nice item
Cons
  • Electrical outlet required
