Astro

So I have Astro A40s and I bought Mixamp and I cant seem to get the mic working for my ps4. the Surround sound works but the mic won't. Any ideas?

Hi, my friend just went out and bought a new pair of Astro A40 2014s for his PC, it doesn't come with a MixAmp. He can hear things PERFECTLY crystal clear, but his mic quality is really bad, it sounds like he is talking into a toaster and he has to scream for me to even be able to hear his...

I recently got an Astro mixamp with the A30 headset. In order to use its mixing capabilities, it requires two sources of audio input. One being USB (also used for power), and the other being either optical or a 3.5mm speaker connection. My sound card doesn't have optical so I have to use USB and...

So I have a pair of Astro A40s and I want to be able to use the mic on both my PC and my PS4. I have no idea is this is possible or not but say I use a headphone Y splitter on my Astro's and connect the headphones into the MixAmp Pro then split the mic so that I can connect it into my pc and to...

Hey guys, i've been in desperate need of a new headset for a long time, and after some research these 2 have caught my eye. I'm not all that experienced with comparing headsets, so all i would really *need* is a comfortable design good for long periods of time, and of course, good sound quality...

So recently my Razer BlackSharks just broke, ive had them for only a year. so im looking for a replacement and A40s are mainly what caught my attention. are they bad or are they good. if they are bad what do you recommend for gaming and a good microphone, preferably analogue.

Hey guys, I just bought a pair of Astro A40s and I have been trying to get 7.1 to work. I have them plugged in to my Asus xonar DGX through optical connection and through the mixamp pro. However, I cannot change the sound output to more than 2 channels in the sound setting and therefore cannot...

Hello, I am thinking of upgrading my headset and getting some Astro A40s. If I have a stereo sound card, will the a40 mixamp alone allow me to have 7.1 surround sound or do I need a 7.1 card? Thanks in advance

Is there anyway I can buy xbox 360 astro a40s and later upgrade to the xb1. Can I still use those headphones? (Im fine with buying a couple extra cords)

Hello everyone! I know these forums are mostly computer related but I feel this is probably be a great place to get the answers I'm looking for. I am looking to buy some headphones/headset for use with my PS4(Better if compatible with XBox one/PC also). When playing, I will have them on...

Hello, I would like to know if i would need a sound card or something else to use A40s and the mixamp on my pc.

hi im thinking of getting a pare of gaming headsets, however im really curious which to buy. i own a regular senheiser headphones which have the most amazing sound quality and i have briefly used astro a40 before. I learned that with 7.1 surround sound on laptops i heard you really dont get the...

Should I spend $200 on the Siberia Elite Prism or wait and for the $140 Siberia V3 Prism(11/05/14). What the difference if you know? I getting Steelseries because I heard they where durable/long lasting. I have a turtle beach px3 and the left earmuff is now dangling. Or Astro A40. I only have a...

Would it work? I buy the beyer cop headset gear and replace the mic with an astro mic

I am looking for virtual 7.1 headsets/headphones, that are less then $150. I am mostly looking for good audio quality, and mic doesn't matter to me, as I'm getting a blue yeti. So what brand seems to be generally the best, as well as what product would you suggest? (No Astros, I just got a pair...

So I recently got the Astro A40, and I was really excited. Sound quality is great, the mixamp has great build quality. I'm talking about the 2013 edition, where the mixamp does NOT have a battery pack. The power button's on top instead of the bottom like the old one. I have it connected to my PC...

So I recently (yesterday) got my Astro a40 Red edition, along with the Mixamp. After setting it up for far too long (for PC), it seems I get static. The cords I have plugged in VIA Mixamp are the USB Mixamp -> PC, Optical Cable Mixamp -> PC and Media Controller Cable Headset -> Mixamp. For some...

I'm looking to get a new headset, and Astro seems perfect for me. It's well balanced for music, gaming, and movies. Yes, I'm planning on getting one with the Mixer Pro+. My question is, is it worth the extra munniez to get the 2014 version, or should I get the 2013 version? What are the...

So I just bought the Astro A50's, I had the option to get the A40's and I still can but I gave in to the option of less cords since I will be using it on my gaming rig and consoles. My concern is that unlike my backup headset the Logitech G930 you can't order replacement batteries if the battery...

So i have an Astro a40s headset that i use in conjunction with the mixamp to connect to my computer via TOSLINK. i assumed through my playback devices that my headset was getting sound from the TOSLINK but instead it is getting the sound from the usb cable i use to connect the mixamp to my...

I really like the look, feel, and sound of the astro a40s and I want to buy them. However, I was wondering if it would be bad to buy them without the mixamp. I already have an asus xonar 7.1 sound card. Would they still sound good without the mixamp, and just plugged into the sound card with...

What are these files showing up in astro manager. Are these some important files or could I delete them? Running out of memory. It's showing up on the menu where music, pictures, files, videos are separately present In categories. Files like 103cb79e.0

Hello! I recently bought a TB Z7 headset, and the mic quality is underwhelming. You may have heard what ASTRO A40's sound like, and that's basically what the Z7's mic is comparable to. If you don't know what that headset mic sounds like, it's awful: the noise cancellation is good, but whenever...

Hello, I am facing a big problem. I just received Astro A40 and I connected the USB plus the optical cable to the computer. Turned on Dolby Digital Live on Xonar DX Audio Center, and unless I make the USB the playback device I receive no sound at all, can anybody help? PS: The optical port on...

I was going to purchase an Astro A50 but was told that "audiophile" headphones together with a stand-alone mic would actually be of a lot higher performance. I do not mind at all using a stand-alone mic if it means I get better sound. After googling for a bit I can tell that audiophile...

I'm going to be purchasing the Astro A50 tomorrow since a lot of websites are calling it the best headset. Should I be buying another one? Is there another that would be better?

I am looking for a new headset (with mic so not headphones), because my Siberia Elite broke down after 2 months! :-/ Wireless headphones are just a plus because i use a laptop when I am gaming! I am a pretty high budget and I need something comfy after i have used the Elites who are SUPER COMFY...

Do you need a mix amp for ur astro a40? what does the mix amp even do?

How good are astro a40 compared to beats studio 2.0? Is the sound quality better? Are they also as bassy as beats? Beats studio are the only high end headphones i have ever tried, i know they are extremely overpriced but the sound i still amazing. If astro a40 is as good then im buying them...

So i was planning to replace the original 50cm charging cable with a 3m cable.... But what type of USB does this headset use?... I know it is some kind of Mini-USB variation but there is like a dozen different types....

I'm getting a new pair of headphones in a few days to replace my oldish Sony Pulse Stereo headphones. I have around $200 to spend and I was wondering if the Astro A40s were good ones to get. I don't really care whether or not they are wired/wireless as I sit less than half a metre away from my...

I just purchased the ASTRO a40s 2013 ed. need a sound card that does 7.1 surround sound. Any suggestions, also does it have to be Dolby digital live?

I have a the p8z77-v pro mobo and i was wondering if it supports dolby digital and if i can get 7.1 out of my astro a40 headset.

Does anyone suggest getting an astro mix amp with some decent headphones for a great sound experience. I'm looking as getting a second hand pair of a30, taking the mix amp, selling everything else then possibly getting some steel series headphones to go with the mix amp. Will this work ...

I play on PC , PS3 , PS4 , I need a Good Sound Quality Headset with a Great Bass for watching movies and listening music and specially when i am playing Games like Battlefield 4 ! and i wanted to work best on all platforms ! which one should i go with ? and BTW ! 7.1 Surround Sound is important...

Ok. This has been done to death but since everyone seems to varying opinions on this, I figured I'd might as well get some more.. What would be the best Headset for single player games (Mostly) for a budget of £100. I'm not going to buy anymore bs soundcards either. I'd prefer it to be 'out of...

I was planning on buying the Astro Gaming A50's but I was concern about the battery life, wireless headset's batteries will eventually give off and I also read reviews online and I was not pleased to hear that there is a lot of issues with the A50's as well as the A40's and Astro Gaming's...

I'm going to buy a new Headset, but I can't make my mind which one to buy. So far, I liked these models: - SteelSeries Siberia Elite - SteelSeries H Wireless - Astro A50 Main usage would be gaming (PC + PS4) and music (PC + iPhone). Any other good brand? Which model would be "the killer"...

I'm torn between a number of different headsets. I can get Astro A30s WITH the 7.1 Mixamp or the Astro A40s WITHOUT the Mixamp. I've read a lot that Astros are hardly even worth it, without the mixamp. I've also looked at Tritton headsets, and people rate them to be decent, not to mention...

As the title says, I am in need of good quality headphones that I would use with my PC. I'm looking for good quality sound, full cover earpads, and possibly(not necessary) a microphone on the side of the headphones. I have a strong wish for wireless headphones, so I can move around more freely...

Hey everyone, i am wondering which headset i should get, for gaming and 7.1 surround sound (which both have) is it better to get the kraken or the a40's?

I used to own Astro A40's and loved the quality, until they broke. I just want a cheap headset that has decent quality and has surround sound for all my gaming needs on a budget of $50. No; it does not need a microphone. Any ideas? Thanks!

So, I just recently bought the Astro A40's 2013 Edition, and I am having mixed feelings. I've been using these primarily on console and have noticed that I'm not really liking surround sound. When I switch to stereo, it almost feels more natural. I should probably note that I've previously used...

Which headset should i buy? The astro A50 wireless (bf4 or normal one) or Plantronics GameCom Commander 7.1? My budget is €300 if there are any other headsets you guys recommend your welcome to share with me :) The games i play are Battlefield and call of duty so especially fps games for pc...

I'm looking into the Astro A40 2013 and Sennheiser PC363D (For PC gaming use.) Which has a better MIC? I'm looking to do audio commentary, so the best mic possible would be great. If neither of these have a good MIC, what would some good alternatives in this price range be?

Hi I am going to invest in astro a40 and I want to get a good sound card to maximize my experience in playing FPS. My motherboard is the MSIn z87-gd65 gaming motherboard. Some cards I was thinking is like the sound blaster Zx or the Asus xonar essence stx. I listen to mucic while I play, but I...

Sorry if this has already been answered but I keep finding conflicting opinions online. Facts: I just got my Astro a40 2013 edition in the mail and I am trying to find the best way to hook it up to my Asus P9X79 Deluxe motherboard. Question One: At the moment i have it connected to my...

I am getting a new gaming headset and I am choosing between these four. I am going to be using them for PC gaming, so I am slightly leaning towards the Razer, because I know they work closely with PC. I have tried on both the Tiamat and the A40's and they have excellent sound quality and are...

Hi, I have recently bought the Astro A50 headset. So far I'm loving it, but it seems my mobo (Asus P8Z77-V) doesn't support Dolby 5.1, only the DTS stuff. Is it possible for me to get the full 5.1/7.1 effect without buying a new sound card? Can I, if I have to, get something external to do it...

Well the title sums it up. Which is better quality.

Hi, can anyone tell me for the Astro A50's it comes with a Optical cable and on the mixamp is an optical IN. However on my motherboard (Asrock z77 extreme4) It has a S/PDIF Output. Will this work with the Astro A50's or not? The connectors it self look different. Thanks

so i am looking to buy a new headset but the only headset i would trust is astro, i have heard they are amazing with the mixamp but i can't afford the mixamp + headset so i was wondering if they are worth the cost without it?
