Review on ๐ŸŽง Renewed ASTRO Gaming A40 TR Gaming Headset for PC and Mac - Black: Affordable Excellence by Quc Bnhย  (MC) แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

My setup consists of an Astro A40 TR and a Mixamp Gen4. If you purchase the Astro A40 headset without also purchasing the Mixamp (external sound card), you will be unable to use any of the features of the headset. If you take away the mixamp, this is a standard, high-quality stereo headset. The size is quite versatile and can be adjusted to fit virtually anyone's head. The cups turn in accordance with the contours of the head. The A40 is a bit on the heavier side, but it does not make the wearer uncomfortable. Ears are unable to perspire.

Pros
  • 1) Superior reproduction of virtual surround sound on any device with an optical output that is also compatible with Dolby Digital 5.1. This mode was tested on the personal computer as well as the following gaming consoles: PS2, PS3, PS4, Xbox360. Whether using Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic, or DTS Headphone X on a personal computer, the USB connection is the one that provides the best sound quality. 2) These headphones perform very well as stereo headphones when used with devices that do not support Dolby Digital. For instance, a Nintendo Switch with stereo sound output can be linked to a TV with the use of an HDMI cable. Using an optical cable, link the headphone jack on the TV to the jack on the headset. 3) The USB port, optical cable, and 3.5-millimeter minijack are only three of the various ways that this headset can be connected to other electronic devices. 4) Mixamp is, in all practical terms, a mixer, which is specified in the computer as the combination of 2 sound cards: one for the voice, and one for the main sound. As a result of this, when you are playing the game, you may use the Mixamp knob to control the volume of the voice chat independently from the loudness of the main sound. In addition to that, the list of audio devices also includes a line port and a microphone. 5) An exciting development for streamers, as the digital line port that has been incorporated onto the devices is now capable of recording binaural sound (5.1 converted to stereo for headphones). With this method, I stream content from my PS4 (optical on PS4, USB on PC). Unless, of course, you view the stream with headphones on, the sound on the stream has a distinct impact that is similar to surround sound. Via the 3.5 mm line out port, you also have the option to record sounds in an analog format. 6) You are able to record up to four different equalizer settings and then switch between them on the fly while you are playing. This is a legitimate kind of cheating in online games; for instance, you can tell the sound of steps apart from the sound picture in a very clear and distinct way. With careful consideration of the surrounding noise, you should be able to locate the location of the foe using only your ears. Alternately, you have the option of creating individual presets for each distinct kind of music, film, and game. 7) You have control over the amount of noise reduction applied to the microphone. And to such an extent that, even in a chaotic environment, only your own voice will be picked up and nothing else will. This has a negative impact on the sound quality, but the feature itself is really cool. Your interlocutors will be grateful to you. It is preferable to turn it off when you are somewhere that is peaceful.
Cons
  • 1) The fact that the headset is only compatible with the PS4 and PC/Mac computers. There is also a version available for the Xbox One, as well as for personal computers and Macintosh computers. The method by which headphones can be used with anything. 2) Not accessible in 2022. I placed an order with Amazon.com, Inc. It would be wonderful if one of the stores carried both the A40 and the A50 models (the wireless version of this headset). The fit of the headset is unfathomable, but there is no place to purchase it. Already, I have the intention of changing A40 to A50.
