The headset is great and you'll forget you're wearing it easily. You'll never feel any sweat on the ear or the like either, which is fantastic. I'm 6 foot 8 inches tall; have a big head as a result. It fit fine on me for years.
If I was to complain about one complaint; it's that the mic needs to be pretty close to your face or the noise canceling dims your own voice. But it's not a huge deal and is just an adjustment I make once every couple months when I notice I moved the wire a bit far or something.
First the audio is incredible detail, ease to identify steps locate other players, compare the gsp im able to locate even easier other players. Something i realize when i use then for the first time is that the a40 have more impedance so the sound is a little bit lower than the gsp wich can blow your head off, byt the way i use then on a ps4 and i dont conect the headphones to the controller, i use a usb sound card wich emulate the 7.1 sorround sound, and increase the sound a little bit.
The headphoes are basically open back headphones if you dont buy the mod kit, so keep in mind that if you are planning to use these on a ps4 controller you better make sure you are on a quite enviroment, otherwise you will need to get the mod kit to avoid noises to leak inside.
Constructions is sturdy, compare to the gsp300 these are heavier, i mean feel like are double the weight of the gsp 300 from sennheiser, obviously the a40 is made with more durable materials.
Taking appart the heavier the a40 feel(i was using the gsp 300 for 8 months so maybe thats why i feel that something unconfortable but maybe after a couple of weeks it will be all rigth) the a 40 are confortable, the earpads are super soft and just as i was expecting my ears dont feel war of swety, and now i can play more time without taking the headsets off every match because my ears are swet(i live on a very hot place so it become a anoying situation so if you dont an AC the a40 will work for you)
Microphone is OK, i mean, iwas not expecting then to be great, my friends say the sound of my voice is clear but after using the gsp300 headphones i dont think there will be anything better on a headset, compare with other headphones its a lot better, specially compare to the headphones that come with the ps4. Noise cancelling works great and i love that i can change the headphones to the right side, i normally play with a fan next to me i can only use it on my right side so when i have the mic on my left this make a horrible noise because of the air and my friends always complain about that, so know i can move the mic the noise just disappear, i dont like that you need to use a switch on the cable to mute the mic, but you get use to it after a couple of hours(i still lift the mic to mute it like the gsp300 and then remember is does not work that way)
In conclusion you won be dissaponted by getting this headset, i dont have to recommend then because you already got lots of recommendations for then, but if you have the money, and love to play on competitive, go ahead and buy then.
Well after 1.5 almost 2 years of hard use i switched from 4/5 to 5/5 stars. I’ve stepped on this thing about a dozen times, rolled over every portion of the cord with my chair, dropped it a ton and even walked away from my setup and had the thing ripped off my head onto the ground, lol oops. This thing still feels and works like it did day one. I still don’t love the headset doesn’t have a usb adapter but besides that this thing is rugged and crisp. I still recommend HyperX cloud II’s but these Astros are a close second in effectiveness and quality, while admittedly being a little cooler looking.
This has got to be my second favorite headset I’ve ever owned, and I’ve had a few! I would recommend you check out the HyperX Cloud II headset as well. After buying these new A40’s, I’ve gotta say they’re much less comfy and sturdy than the Clouds. Also the mic and audio quality are MUCH better on the HyperX cloud headsets. Along with that, the Cloud II’s include a small “mix amp” like adapter that allows change of game to chat volume, surround sound toggle, and mute button. Bottom line, the only thing these Astros have on the HyperX headset I had previously is looks, they definitely have a cooler design. My recommendation is you don’t buy these a40’s before you consider the HyperX Cloud II’s.
Pros:
The sound is actually pretty good.
It does get loud.
It is comfortable.
It comes with multiple hookups for console or pc.
Feels sturdy.
Ear cushions are stupid comfortable. Probably my favorite part.
I wear glasses and have no trouble.
Cons:
It’s dark blue, not black. Which I’m the most upset about. Think of Spider-Man and that’s what you’re getting.
Cord is super long. I know that’s good for some people but for me personally not so much.
Sometimes the top part does hurt my head, but sometimes it doesn’t. It’s weird.
And the obvious is that they included a mute switch but not a volume switch. I could forgive everything else if they would’ve added a volume switch instead and made the mic flip to mute. But they want you to spend another $200 on the mixamp. Absolutely stupid choice for a headset this price.
Overall I do recommend the headset, it’s super comfy and the sound is great. But it could’ve been perfect. Will update if anything comes up in with more use. I take very good care of my belongings so if I’m not updating, assume all is well.
