"Build quality has also gone downhill since they are now under Logi."
Astro a40 with mixamp, I have not tried the a50s yet. Best headset I have found.
r/ArcRaiders • Headphones Raccomendation for the best Arc Raiders experience ->Yeah, the quality of the sound is just bounds ahead of other headsets and has been for years.
r/ArcRaiders • Headphones Raccomendation for the best Arc Raiders experience ->My top two for first person shooters are Astro a40s and now beyerdynamics, always wired usb with mic amp.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Any “Gaming” headphones that are actually good nowadays? ->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.
r/Warzone • is the official xbox gaming headset a good headset for Warzone? ->Hi, The A40 TR Headset, A30 Wireless Headset (can be used wired), and the A10 Headset are all available. However, if you are looking for the best audio from your console, the A50 X would be a great choice as it supports 24-bit audio quality. Is there a reason you prefer wired headsets?
r/AstroGaming • Which headset should I get? ->Hi, The A30 Wireless Headset and A50 GEN5 and X use LIGHTSPEED wireless technology. I'll be honest, you'll need to be very good to tell any difference between them and the A40 TR Headset as the latency really isn't that high even on wireless. I used to have my A40 TR Headset as my daily driver but have since switched over to the A50 X for my Xbox and my PC and it matches up perfect to everything on my display from gaming to YouTube, etc. For battery life, the A50 X and GEN5 offer 24 hours which I think it perfect for a single session and you can dock it in between to top it up. You can also use it with a charging cable to play and charge at the same time. Obviously it's all down to preference, but wireless headsets have come a long way.
r/AstroGaming • Which headset should I get? ->My Astro A40 headset never let me down
r/buildapc • What are the Best Gaming Headsets Available Now? ->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.
r/AstroGaming • Headset recommendations please! ->The only wired ones I tried was the Astro A40 I dont own the mixamp but they still sounded pretty good just connected to controller.
r/playstation • What are the best gaming headphones in the $100 or less category? ->Think theres the gen4 astro a40s before the buyout and honestly they are really great the last time I owned a pair.
r/AstroGaming • Headset recommendations please! ->Big on the Astros. Have the A40s and they’ve been phenomenal going on 6 years.
r/Gaming_Headsets • [LFH] Looking for a good headset that ISN'T a gaming headset ->If you want to stay using wired, I would actually recommend the Steelseries nova pro wired. They have great sound stock but also great with wicked cushions. Prior to switching to the nova pro’s I was using a pair of a40tr’s with amp. If you want to jump to wireless you can’t go wrong with the a50’s I recently switch from the nova pro wired to a50x and love the sound and mic quality. For an out of the box suggestion, A good pair of IEM’s for when you don’t want the weight of a headset on your head. Personally I use the Simgot Supermix 4. If you’re on console these are great if you don’t need a mic otherwise you’ll need a USB MIC to go along with it.
r/AstroGaming • Headset recommendations please! ->I've switched to Astro years ago and never looked back. Amazing audio, comfort and durability. Have both the a40 tr (10+ years old) and the A50.
