How is it

My pleasure!

Oh man, I'm recieving them tomorrow (found them at 211,00€ offer) and was looking for confirmation that I made a good buy, video was good but your commend took away any insecurity I had! Thanks!

@@mourinio1000 Been using it now little over a month and honestly no complaint so far, but some suggest to buy only the headset not the mixamp. I disagree, mixamp allows alot of flexibility and improves sound quality in gaming, music etc and you can just switch on go. Very comfortable and the most important the sound quality is just amazing. It can honestly rival some top tier noise cancelling headphones on the market. I just two days ago got sonys next gen flagship noise cancelling headphones namely Sony wx-1000xm5. Its a noise caneclling 500 dollar flagship headphone and honestly the astro is not far of when it comes to sound. Pretty comparable. I guarantee you will love this headset for days specially if you switch from not a decent one. I mean i switched from gen 3 which was a superb headset and still the difference was quite noticable. Ill hear your opinion when you get it. :P I can assure you that you wont get anything better on the market. Ive listened to quite few headsets like corsair and steelseries flasgships. Razer headsets etc. A40 is just different league. Its a premium materal and premium performance. Pretty much lamborghini of headsets if you like it.

@@Stockfish1511 I just got it, updated it and tried it on my laptop with various sound test videos. My previous headset was the HyperX CloudX for xbox, pretty decent ones. You can immedeatelly tell the difference the open-back offers and the amplifier is a huge upgrade to the whole sound setup. I'm only playing PUBG on XBOX for 3 years now and wanted to take the extra step sound-wise. I will test them tonight on the game and I will let you know!

Wow, my friend you were totally right! Sound is clear, detailed and distinctive, footsteps are so accurate you can even pre-fire on corners. I mean before i could also hear them but not so accurate, it's crazy. Makes you feel like you are more in the game, having more control over your surroundings and that changes the whole game experience. 10/10

@@mourinio1000 Glad you loved it ;) Its god in gaming.

I found it pretty fine without touching the settings at all

I did not! I'll give that a go

@@tobiasgvenus he right. But on next gen you make need a audio extractor. But it definitely pushes the audio way stronger. And the Atmos effect for me. Have me real life turning my head trying to look for the sounds🤣🤣😭. But I love these I have A50 wireless

on pc u don't need optical..i run these on stereo through teh amp and use dts instead of the onboard dolby ss..dts sounds amazing

@@justinsutton2924 so on pc , you send the dts signal through windows sound settings , and disable it on the mix amp /station on the desk ?

Haha yeah he does that

Id keep looking

Red means mute and white means un mute. If they are changing on there own your talkback cable might need to be replaced

Yeah i was wondering if you could fix the complaints about the Dolby issues with the Dolby app on the Series X. I'm guessing you can?

I have the same issue

Same thing happens on the A10s on PS5.

This only happens when you’re live on discord

It's because they have open back. If you buy a mod kid it includes different earpads that are closed back

Have you tried putting the microphone to "Tournament" mode in the software?

Does anyone have an answer for this? Got the headset today and my mixamp stays on when my series x is off?

I had the same problem. The amp doesn’t turn off by itself when turning off Xbox unless you unplug it. But what you can do is buy a USB hub splitter from Amazon with turn on/off switches. That way you can just turn it off whenever you’re done using it.

@@vuhgo1982 it’s not gonna hurt anything mine still stays on my pc and Xbox it’s just still getting power been like that ever since I’ve had it with zero issues

Hopefully you figured it out. You have to hold the power button down on the game DAC and switch it to PC mode

was the mixamp worth it?

@@hamzabassal yes,if you can connect it to optical on the back of your tv.if your TV does not take optical, I do not recommend these headphones for ps5

​@Hamza Bassal there is an adapter for it made by astro for 40 dollars to use on ps5

@@bruh-browhere do I get the adapter

Mod kit are bought separately mate

You can yes!

USB :)

yes

how are they so far? are they worth it?

You update the mixamp when you first got it on a pc?

Yes! But it won't sound as good

@@tobiasgvenus so if I have the a40 mixamp one can I still just connect it to my controller

​@@tobiasgvenushow so

Can’t use game chat mix with ps5. Sony screwed everybody and only works on sony headsets. They want you to use their products. Too bad Sony headsets are nowhere near Astro headsets or steelseries

Ooh yeah I'm not your guy for that sorry

I've been using Astros for years and wear glasses. It's perfectly fine and very comfortable.

Astro command center

Depends on if you have just the cord from the headset plug in, or if you have the headset plugged into the amp and the pc via USB.

u can download astro on console

@@YTsoloo on my ps4 ? sorry for the nescience.. im not a gadget gal at all

@@YTsoloo please reply asap my astro headset has been a dust collector since i bought it!!

@@kadieraelyn666 Hey, did you try the playstation store by any chance ?

@@kadieraelyn666 And even if that doesn’t work you can still use your mix amp with the ps4 just have to plug the optic cable into the ps4 and use the pre sets if you can’t find the astro app in store

I find using the star is better for cod. I play cod everyday and they sound amazing

@@JohnBilinskyagreed. MW2019 had good sound design and so did Cold War. But MW3/3 Sound sucks so you kinda have to use the star mode

@@dandreurquhart3511when i use the star, it sounds low is there any way to make louder?

Need to update firmware through pc

Just got them from eBay for 60

@@mrriotshield840 wow brand new? With the mixamp pro?

@@JordanCatchC used but refurbished 1 yr warranty

@@mrriotshield840 cool

For console use: you plug the optical out of the PS/Xbox into that.

I haven't tried the A50

None of them are good don’t waste your money mine is going back tomorrow!

@@George_Vicious Why ?

@@syg1886 I bought it for PS5, had to buy an HDMI adapter for £30 just to get it to work.. Then I could hear a buzzing static noise when the headset is connected to the Mix Amp TR, after hours of research online I connected it up to my PC and downloaded there command centre to reduce the side noise which completely got rid of the buzzing noise on my end.. Since connecting back up to the PS5 it sounds brilliant for me but my mates can now hear the buzzing noise when in party chat.. I have researched again to find different solutions and was led to believe if I bought a ground loop isolator there’s a 99% chance it would fix the issue, so for the sake of my friends ears I’ve spent another £15 only for the ground loop isolator to make it sound like Freddy Krueger scratching metal!!! This is not acceptable for a £300 set up, honestly avoid this like the plague its far more head ache than it is worth.. absolutely fuming!!

@@George_Vicious hahah but is it sounds good ?

No only a30 and a40s

@@dontreyonewilliams4849 work with a40 halo edition also

a50 is wireless so it can't connect to the mixamp

Avoid the mix amp like a plague I’m ready to throw mine out of the window any second! It creates a buzzing noise which will have you searching the internet for days to fix, it’s cost me an extra £50 so far trying different solutions with no positive results! I’m sending it back to Astro tomorrow and I’m going to take a shit inside the box so they get a nice surprise when they receive it!! Worst headset on the market and charging £300 is daylight robbery, you might as well put an hammer through it before you even test it!! PATHETIC!!!!!!!

@@George_Vicious Its probably because you have maybe damaged product. I have both and 0 problems and it improves the sound quality alot. They have warranty. Just go and change. Mixamp is not suited for a50 its for a40

So you're not yelling, something called 'feedback'

Yes , there is a switch on the talkback cable that can unmute and mute the mic

@@zacharygeyman60 I'm actually dumb. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I'm used to the Xbox controller mixamp

Everybody knows the $ is in the mixamp, it works with any headset try it

The mix amp is daylight robbery, it creates a static sound on the headset. Don’t waste your money, by far the worst piece of tech I’ve ever purchased! For £300 I would rather let you hit me in the face with an hammer than buy this wank headset and mix amp! Avoid like the plague..

@@George_Vicious y’all probably don’t know how to use it

@@MrAjking808 I do know how to use it, I’ve had it for 3 months and it still makes the same shitty noise when I speak.. it’s not something that I can hear, it’s my friends who can hear it or when I make a video recording I can hear it when I watch that back. I spent hours and hours online trying to sort it and it seems like it’s a common problem with the mix amp as 80% of people seem to have the issue.. it’s wrong to charge £300 for this set up with so many issues..

@@George_Vicious make sure you’ve pushed the cable into the headset fully

Plus its wireless and wireless audio sucks hard, thats well known everywhere.

@@kluxii244 so true ive tried just about every hyped wireless headset and they all trash..especially the mic quality

As an owner of the virtuoso, I have to say it’s by far their worst headset to date, I changed from the Void RGB, and it was a massive step down, the void was the best headset I ever owned and it’s outdated, if it still worked I’d go back in a heartbeat

Were you paid to say this?

I'm having the exact same issues. Having used basic Turtle Beach XO4 since their release (basically 10,000hrs or more across gaming and watching movies/shows) before MW2 finally had me decide to upgrade. Even with trying multiple EQ settings, the Astro A40 sound like a £2 pair of earphones in comparison to what I was used to with the Turtle Beaches. None of the presets seemed to make any difference

@Ky Christell I bought it for $300 and for some reason the payment declined so I just let it be and I never tried to reorder it again and it had said it canceled my order but a couple days later I had got another email saying that my package will arrive on “Friday” and Friday came it actually and my gf signed for it but I was never charged for it I was confused on how that could even happen but it happened
