I bought an expensive Seinheisser headset from Amazon but sent it back because while plugged in to my PC, I couldn't seem to directly adjust it's performance via 3.5 plugin, So I replaced it with a Steelseries USB headset which I could actually use my Soundblaster X-Fi to adjust the sound. The...

I'm looking for a good gaming headset that I can use. I've been looking at the Astro A40 headset but I think that is quite expensive. Does anyone know a headset which performs like the A40's but a bit cheaper please? Any help is appreciated, thanks. By the way the headset I want is for mainly...

Im having a really hard time figuring out how to get surround sound on my headset. I have the mix amp connected to my motherboard via optical cable and when I select "realtek digital optical" as my default device the sound in my headset gets nearly inaudible. If i select the a40's as my default...

Hello everyone, Recently, my old Logitech G930 headset ceased to work. Although I was rather pleased with them, I am looking to replace them with a generally better headset - especially in terms of sound. Currently, I have my eye on the Steelseries H (wireless) and the Astro A50 (slightly...

Hi About 6 months ago I bought the Gen 2 Astro a40s for Xbox One, and recently bought a new PC. However, I'm unable to use the A40 mic with it. I thought at first that this was due to me only having a 3.5mm headphone jack plugged in, as the Gen 2 for Xbox only comes with the weird Xbox mixamp...

I've had my Astro A40's since the end of 2013. I'm debating to just spend money on new earpads, detachable mic, and mute cable, or do i just buy the Hyper X Cloud and use it with my MixAmp. I've heard great things about it, but love my Astro A40's. Help me out. Thanks!

I want to use my Astro Mixamp with my HyperX Cloud 2's (If I can't please say so) I was wondering whether or not I can get 7.1 dolby digital surround sound by connecting the Astro Mixamp to my motherboard by USB and still achieve 7.1 surround sound (dolby digital) Or will I achieve better...

I have disabled SBX, and I was just wondering if any of you would like to recommend some EQ settings that would make the audio seem more crisp and clear.

Hey, Im using Windows 8.1 with an ASRock fatality motherboard. I just built my first PC and i cant seem to be able to figure out how to get surround sound on my Astro a40s. I know it's possible because on my previous computer (which was just a laptop) i was able to get surround sound. It may...

Just wanting to tell you guys to never buy astro a40s, especially the 2013 editions, I had my first pair that was broken out of box straight away with crackling in one ear cup and the second pair that I owned started breaking up after two months, it was infact two poorly made mixamps. The sound...

I was thinking of getting the Astro A40s with the MixAmp Pro to use for gaming on my PC. Mainly games like CS:GO and other FPS Shooters so I can take full advantage of the surround sound. I was wondering if I also needed to buy a 7.1 Sound Card to be able to use the Dolby Surround Sound? Or...

So recently I got an Astro Mixamp for my A40's and when setting up I realized it uses an optical cable. Unfortunately my PC's motherboard doesn't have a slot for one so I was wondering about buying an optical to 3.5mm jack converter. I was curious to know if they're worth it, do they make the...

I saw this review of Astro A50 vs Sennheiser PC 363D and I was wondering what I should get. Right now I'm leading to the Sennheiser. Please write what you have and give suggestions for headsets. My budget is $350 so I have a wide variety.

Should I get the Astro A40 or the Sennheiser Game One? My budget for a new headset is around $200. I cannot go above. If the two choices above are not good, then what do you recommend? (I need a mic)
