Daddy’s got a new pair of shoes–I mean headphones!
The Early Mistake
Before grabbing brand-new A40s on sale during Amazon’s Prime Day, I picked up refurbished A40s on Ebay. They were cheaper than buying new and the vender was reviewed very high. In short, I ended up returning them because a part of the headset that sat on my head would not stay secured, so hard plastic would dig into my scalp—it drove me insane.
Experience With New A40s
The brand-new Astro A40 Tournament Ready headset that I purchased on Prime Day is fantastic. I love them. They feel like a cloud made of gaming perfection. The ultra-crisp sound that comes through the headset’s speakers help me pick up on every detail in the game, which in turn, helps me wreck plebs* (I’m a pleb myself). The design is comfortable too–perfect weigh and contact with my fat head.
*Pleb-An ordinary person, especially one from the lower social classes.
Weird Bug
One thing I had to do to fix the microphone from cutting out intermittently was change a setting in the mixamp options from home to stream on my computer. Initially, I thought the problem could be with the headset/microphone itself but a brief surf on the web revealed it’s a common issue. Side note, it’s odd that the Astros come standard with a wonky setting.
Conclusion
They are very nice headphones. Put them on my head when I die.
Would Recommend.
5/5.
