Astro

I’ve had my Astro 40 headset for around 6 years now (since March 2014), and recently the sound coming from the speakers inside the headphones stopped producing sound normally. It isn’t that I can’t hear anything; it’s that it’s super quiet and not putting out all the full sound (i.e. I can’t...

I have an ASTRO A10 headset but I do not know where to find an aux like the one that came with it. The regular 3.5 broke off and now I can't use it. Instead of buying a new headset I thought I could just buy a new aux cable as it can detach from the headset completely but to find the proper 4...

I Recently bought Astro a10s and have not been able to use them for pc. I tested them with my ps4 and they work fine. However when i plug it into my computer and it asks what I plugged in nothing happens. I looked into the audio settings and it is not even listed under input or output devices...

So I recently bought the DT 990 Pro’s paired with a Schiit Magni 3 and compared to my Astro A40’s w/ MixAmp the DT’s sound sooo much worse. What’s going on? I bought the DT’s based on excellent reviews but they sound bad, like they’re not clear at all and when gaming I can’t pinpoint anything...

Can someone please advise on how to get 5.1 audio from the optical output of the Sound Blaster Z sound card to the A50 Astro Mixamp TXD receiver/transmitter. I have followed numerous Youtube vids and forum posts but, alas, I STILL can not get it working. Here is how I have it set up: In Sound...

So I have the Astro A40 TR's, and love them a lot, but the sound quality isn't great. It sounds a little metallic and I have heard they don't do the mixamp justice. Plus my mic is going out... I was wondering if it would be worth getting the Hyper Cloud 2 headset to pair with my mixamp. I...

So i have been using my Astro A40s(2013 edition) for a good 2 years but my neighbor is selling his headphones, the Audio-Technica BPHS1 for $100(neighbor deal he says). I know Audio-Technica are well know for creating really great headphones so should i buy them to replace my A40s or should i...

Hi! I can buy a brand new Astro A50 XB1 2014 for about 150$. Think I should go for that? Also, will that one work with PC (I don't play xbox 1, so will only be used for PC)? This is the one in question: https://www.amazon.com/ASTRO-Gaming-A50-Xbox-One-Black/dp/B00NY5ZPF8 Cheers

Recently, I won an ASTRO A40 xbox one version. I already bought an extension cord and a splitter for audio and the mic. All of it works fine, but my problem is I can't hear any sound quality improvement compered to my Logitech H390, wich is odd, compered to their prices. The Asus Xonar DSX...

Out of the three, which are superior in sound quality. Really want to know about their 7.1 surround. I want to use them mainly for gaming and movies. https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Performance-Surround-Gaming-Headset/dp/B008O515CK/ref=pd_sbs_147_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7YAT2571JYA6K342SB1Y...

So I've had the Astro A40s for about 3 years now or so. I think it's about time that I upgrade because 1. Part of the headset is broken and 2. I want the latest and greatest sound quality. So is there any PC headsets that beat the Astro A40s in terms of sound quality? Would preferably like...

Does the Astro MixAmp Pro work with the G633 on the ps4 and pc? And does the surround sound work on ps4?

I'm deciding between these 4 headphones for a mod-mic+astro mixamp setup for streaming/gaming for xbox one/pc and movies. My price range is up too 300$ I like a nice balanced clear sound with a good sound-stage and punchy but not overwhelming bass will take other suggestions as well. I will...

Hello All, Here is my issue. I have static in the audio on my Astro Mixamp Pro TR on the USB side only. The optical is clear as a bell. The Mixamp takes two audio sources and blends them together. One is optical and the other is USB. Optical is for the main audio source and USB is for chat...

Currently have the Astro A50's which are pretty nice, but I'm looking for something that sounds a little better and feels a little nicer (as in nice earpads). Looking to spend around $300 if possible, and I also need to factor in a mic, which will probably end up being a modmic. I also may need...

Hi, ive been using my Astro a40s for 2 years, i bought a soundcard with them because the use anoptical output cable. Today i noticed that the optical port in the soundcard was dark an i think that it should, and also have been lit up. then i turned on the computer and listened to music and i...

Ok, so I'm going to buy a sound card, but I don't know which one I should buy. I use Astro A40's without the mix amp (Mic Quality Is Bad), so I just have the wire going from my headset into a 3.5mm splitter. It splits into the green and pink wire, for audio and mic input respectively. I'm just...

I was looking at getting a pair of astro a40s, my main question is are they a quality headset and worth the money for mainly pc gaming, watching youtube and twitch streams. This is one I was looking at: http://www.astrogaming.co.uk/a40-mixamp-tr/A40-MIXAMP-TR.html Unfortunately the a50s are...

So I own the Cloud 2's and i want to use it with the astro mixamp. I bought 2 different mixamps from ebay, but both made the quality of the mic god awful. I know this set-up works tho, because my friend has the same exact set-up, and his works fine. Anyone know what to do here? Thanks!

Hi, does anyone know if the on-board sound of the ASUS X99 motherboard [1] will be sufficient enough for the A40 Mixamp TR headset [2] without a Sound Card (such as the A40's surround sound)? There's a lot of info regarding "Audio" on that motherboard's site, by I honestly don't know what to...

Looking for a relatively low budget headset with some nice sound quality. To me, sound quality is everything. Looking to TRY and keep this under 200$, but if there is something really good out there then so be it. I am looking to see also if there is something that matches or exceeds the sound...

Both of these brands seem to be very popular and i've heard good things about both. I will not be buying the mixamp version of the a40's, just the headphones. The Sennheiser's are about $139 and the a40's are about $150. I want them to be comfortable, good for gaming, maybe some music every now...

Hi everyone. Currently an Astro A50 Owner, but over time I have decided that I want something better for listening to music + gaming. Don't get me wrong, the A50 is a great headset, but I still want something better. The AKG K7XX's are up on Massdrop for 48 more hours, and I was wondering if...

My astro a50 headset does not make any difference through the 3 presets and it is new, no difference in noise and it does not say anything. Is there a fix to this?

Hello! I am a podcaster. I have a Blue Yeti mic and an ASTRO A50 headset. I am looking for some slim in-ear headphones so I can listen to my voice live. What are your suggestions? They don't need to be top end stuff. They don't need to have great sound & block noise (preferably, don't block...

Hello, I want to have a setup where I can have my pc and console near eachother and go into one audio output. I have two monitors so if I'm playing a console game I want to be able to use my computer at the same time while being able to hear audio from both. I know there is the Turtle Beach ACU...

Hey I currently have the Astro a50s and they work wonderfully but I just wanted everyones opinion on the best headsets for xbox 1 and PC.

I have bought the Sennheiser HD598 and will be getting a modmic to attach to it soon. I will be using them for gaming and teamspeak. I am having trouble with surround sound where enemies far away sound too distant away, like the volume is too low. Seem like sound behind me is played too low...

Ok, So I made a Semi-Flawless flow chart for a workaround for the TR Mixamp with and the Next gen consoles( If you have a One and a PS4 and don't want to buy a second mixamp ). But there is only one problem, The problem is that there are overlapping signals of the headset in the chart. But...

I mostly play cs:go, and my headset has been broken for a long ass time and i need a new one. The astro a40's are on sale for half price this weekend in denmark. But they might sell out so i need an answer quick. Are they 7.1 without the mixamp? And even if they are stereo, are they worth it?

I own Astro A40s and I really want to get rid of them. I want to look into getting a new headset that's more comfortable, sounds better, and has a live mic feed (mic monitoring) so I can hear myself talking through the mic while wearing the headset (similar to the Turtle Beach x12). Please keep...
