I have an a40 Gen 1 that works perfectly, I had an a40 Tr that was stolen. I had an a50 Gen 2 that I sold and bought the a50x a year ago and it never had any problems with it.
I have the og a40 from ps3 days, a pair of a50 ps4, and a50 ps5. They all still work fine. Only issue is every had was the a50 would lose connection to the dock after a couple months. Just put them back on the dock and restart the sysyem. I swear, people must be throwing their stuff into walls and expecting them to still work... I don't how my friends and I can use these for a decade with no issue but reddit says they are trash?
Astros mix amp A40's are really good and buy the dolby atmos pass. They're not to expensive too.
I got the wired Astro A40 pro with mix amp almost 8 years ago. I’ve replaced pads once. They’ve been great throughout multiple consoles, and now finally on PC. Highly recommend.
8 years with the Astro A40’s + mixamp
I have yet to find an upgrade replacement for my Astro a40 Mixamp set up. Still works great if they are still available? Mines quite old now and still works wonderfully.
I’ve had a set of Astra a40 mix amp pros for probably close to a decade now. Been wonderful. Come apart for cleaning. great sound. Comfortable. Customizable. I use it for gaming (amazing background audio queues), movies, and voice chat. I’m sure there’s something like it. I know when I upgrade or replace it will have to be comparable.
Astro a40’s with a custom EQ for me
