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 on them is so overrated it's unreal, they sound as cheap as any other virtual surround headsets and I've had a couple in my time, I picked up the sennheiser g4me one for £10 less and the sound difference is amazing.
