Astros have been my go to forever. I just replaced my A40s from 2017 this past month with the new A50s. I only replaced them though because the mix Amp couldn't attach to the bottom of my new Gamesir controller. The A40s still work perfectly fine. Quality brand
I've been kicking around the idea of getting some Sennheiser's for years. Problem is my 2016 Astro A40s won't die.
Astro a40 with mixamp, I have not tried the a50s yet. Best headset I have found.
Yeah, the quality of the sound is just bounds ahead of other headsets and has been for years.
I personally use Astro a40s and they work great. A lot of people recommend the steelseries arctis nova 7, so if I were you, I'd go for those if you're able to afford them.
Astros. I have a40s that are over 10 years old, used daily for zoom & games.
Wired and no batteries, one that has no app to bug out. No batteries to die in 5 years. No firmware to bork and die. Oh the ancients made those it's a lost art.. Aliens showed us and we forgot. I got my MK1 Mixamp and A40s back when they were current, and with care and (replacing the stock mic entirely) are still going strong, and the surround function still just works. No firmware, no app. Just usb SPDIF and good times.
I’ve used Astro A40’s with mixamp for like 7-8 years then just recently got the wireless Astro A50’s about 2 years ago and I have never had a problem with them
Big on the Astros. Have the A40s and they’ve been phenomenal going on 6 years.
