ASTRO Gaming A40 Audio System (White)

 (16 customer reviews)

I am very happy to say that my extremely stylish white Astro A40 2011 audio system arrived recently and after much time pouring over it, I can safely say that it was worth every penny I spent. I noticed no one has reviewed the white ones, which I will now remedy. My wife and I live in a smaller-medium sized house divided into three apartment sized living spaces. I'm surrounded by two sides by in-law relatives. It's not a very soundproof house, and I sometimes suffer from insomnia or just want to play a game really loud. Until now, I've always had to turn the sound way down and could hardly hear anything. I've also never lived somewhere, ever, with an up-to-date surround sound, high fidelity sound system. Well, I decided I was through with that and so my wife and I got this package. It may be my best entertainment-related choice all year (at least tied with the PS3 I bought in Spring).

I have had my A40 system for about 6 months now, and it's the best purchase I've made in a while. I've tested all the major headsets available, and this one is by far the best. It sounds amazing, it's extremely comfortable to wear, and Astro Gaming is a great manufacturer. It's obvious to me that Astro takes great pride in all of their products, and I highly recommend buying directly from them, rather than amazon.

The Headset:

The headset is very easy to adjust, and fits all headsizes. On both sides of the headset are speaker tags. These tags are detachable, and comes in packs of three. Two solid ones, and one with a hole (for the mic). If you don't need the mic, you can remove the tag with the hole and replace it with a solid one, giving the headset a more symetric look. Astro allows you to upload images and design your own speaker tags, which is great for customizing your headset. The mic is a single boom with no wires. The mic is very high quality, and will...Read more

I ordered the Astro A40 gaming headset and mixamp. I live in an apartment and recently started receiving complaints about "gunfire" late at night. In addition, my girlfriend has been complaining for a few months about the "gunfire" coming from the living room. I decided that it was time to get a gaming headset. I opted for the Astros because of the outstanding reviews that I've read across various sites. My requirements were simple. It had to be compatible with the Xbox 360 and the PS3. These were compatible with the Xbox 360 directly out of the box. I had to buy an adapter to get this working on the PS3, which can be purchased directly from Astro's site. I play a ton of COD4 (anxiously awaiting MW2) and can honestly say that I am glad I spent the money. The build quality is hi. It is easy to use and came with a ton of extras for hooking it up to whatever your little heart desires. The mic boom is easy to install on whatever side you choose. I love the adjustable sound knob to keep...Read more
