Easy to use and set up just plug and play. The volume is not all that high and once you mix game volume and chat volume in the PS4 its alright. I suggest buying the MixAmp Pro along with the headset definitely worth the purchase. Fairly comfortable, customizable, boom mic can be replaced if broken.

Without the mixamp pro the audio is good, but it feels like it’s missing something. I tried them without the amp, then with. I prefer them with the mixamp pro. However, the mic quality suffers my friends say. They say it’s hard to hear me sometimes and choppy, but it’s not constant. Im not sure what that issue is, I’m assuming it has something to do with the digital optical cable and the mixamp. Personally, the extra $120 for the amp isn’t worth it, but then again the $150 headset doesn’t sound as good without it. You don’t really have a choice. So the price is ridiculously high I’d say, but I love how the audio sounds. Except for the mic issues. I just purchased these not long ago, so I’m hoping they stay the same as they’ve been so far. I bought the warranties with them so hopefully I stay covered.

The sound quality is great and it is very comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions. My only grip with this headset is that the wire is like 3 feet long so it can get caught in places and you have to be careful with that.

I bought these to replace a Turtle Beach 700 while they were in for replacement. They are very comfortable and sound great but not having volume controls on the headset doesnt work for me.

This is the nicest gaming headset I have ever purchased. I'm using it on PC and the sound quality is great. I also appreciate the ability to customize it. The ear cushions can be removed and hare held on by magnets, as are the speaker back covers. The covers can be swapped so that the microphone can be plugged in on either side of the headset. The construction feels sturdy despite being mostly plastic and the cushions are very comfortable during long gaming sessions. The cord is also removable/replaceable and seems to resist tangling pretty well. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Reviewing these on behalf of my son who uses them with his XBox One X. He used the Plantronic RIG 400 set for a while which are great, but wanted to upgrade. Tried a couple pair, including a HyperX Cloud II, but they didn't seem to be an improvement over what he had. Got these for him and he is very happy with them. Only slight complaint would be that the cord provided is too long...like do you really need a 6 foot cable to go from the headset to the controller that is always in your hands?

I've owned several brands of gaming headsets and Astro has been on par with theirs. Obviously I own the astro mixamp and wow these sound really good. They are very soft and hopefully last me another 5 years at least. I had the a50s before this one and they are identical in sound. The reason I switched to this one, is no more having to charge the headphones while playing long hours. The only flaw I found is that the mic is too good at canceling most noise, especially my voice, which I later found out it was the mixamp and not the headset , simply had to plug it into the computer and changed the mode to home on the mic. I've owned turtle beach and they don't come close to the richness of the sound. I've had sharkoon and I felt they weren't as good as astro.

I consider myself a tech savvy person, but for some reason, this was not a set up and play. I already had the Astro A-50’s so I expected a similar setup. With the Astro software already downloaded, I expected at some point it would work. I never could get it to work through the Astro software but with a little tickering, and about 2 hours of time, Windows 10 finally recognized the headset. It sounds superb, and is comfortable to wear for hours. and I’m definitely ordering the mod kit. This is the best wired headset, for about 1/3 the price of the a-50. I would recommend it!

Pretty good headset, it gets loud if you use the ps5 controller to plug in. If you use a ps4 controller to play Warzone though, the volume may be lower than you may like. You can still hear everything around you pretty well though. If you don't mind a slightly lower volume when using a ps4 controller then it's a good buy. The band on your head does get uncomfortable when used for more than an hour, but you can replace it with something more padded if you'd like. The look and color is cool. I'd say the sound and quality is better than a $99 headset. The mic is also flexible and clear.

These headphones are my second pair. Different color this time around.
The sounds in game can be heard very loud if you need it that way. The Mike and mute functions well.
The quality of sounds may differ from different games pending on your preference.
You can try this headphone out and if you not convinced that they fit your needs. Just return them.
To me, I've stuck with them because they are really really good. I've used them for my Xbox one and PS4.
I play Battlefield, Division, Call of Duty, Ghost recon, Gears of War, Titan Fall, Halo, ROGUE, and many other games.
What I hear I can react to quickly, and that's a big advantage.

Sound is amazing for any competitive game. Fits really good and can wear them for hours. Lack of any kind of physical volume controll and the mic could be better.

A40’s

Since the Xbox 360 days, I’ve been rocking Astro A40’s. This is my third pair (due to wanting to change colors). When I saw the X edition, I knew I had to get it. I like blue/red combos. Originally, I thought this was black and red, so be forewarned. If you’ve run Astro headsets, you know the sound is great and the quality is great. For those that haven’t run Astro’s, I encourage you to find another headset that sounds good, looks good, and feels good on your dome for long gaming sessions. For me, Astro A40’s are the only headset that checks all three of those boxes. Buy a pair, you won’t regret it. Plus, they last a long time, at least from my experience.
