I bought these with an Amazon gift card I received.I honestly did not want to drop $250 on a headset but I figured since I had a $200 gift card, I would get them, if I didn't like them, I would return them.



This is the best headset I have ever owned and possibly the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. It doesn't sound like a headset. There have already been a few times that with the sound it produces I thing that my actual speakers are running (usually keep them down to make sure I don't wake up my girlfriend). I own a set of Turtle Beach Stealth 500p and have happily used them for the last year. I thought to myself, well, my 500's are so good I can't imagine the sound being that much different. Boy was I wrong. It sounds so natural and again, not like you are wearing a headset.



the mic is very sensitive. I had to turn down my Mic sensitivity to about a 2 on my PS4 because people were telling me I was way too loud. Not only that but the mic does not have to sit right by my mouth like most other Mics which is good because I hate when people breathe into their mics so it keeps me from doing it. Also, everyone tells me that it sounds great once it's all adjusted.



The comfort on these things are amazing. I wear gunnars when I play and the A40's are tight enough that the headset stays on my head but not so tight that they press the glasses into my skull. Plus, the ear cups are large enough to fit my entire ear in. I have already worn them for a few hours at a time and there was no discomfort.



The mixamp is amazing. The balancing with the game and voice audio is wonderful. I have not changed the levels a whole lot from the "pro" mode. But to be fair, I love the way it sounds so much I haven't wanted to try any others. The one issue I did have was that the power light was flickering. I contacted Astro support and they had me update it and it's been fine since. It does get very loud so I have not had the need to turn the overall volume up over halfway. Having the flexibility to put in an outside source for music is awesome.



Anyone who is considering on buying this headset will not be disappointed. This headset has went beyond the expectations I had and demolished any doubt I had. The only downside would be the price tag. But to me, if you can afford it and want to have a completely new gaming experience, buy these.
