Keep in mind that adjusting the height of the headband can get a little tricky. There’s very comfortable padding on the top of the headband, where it rests on your head, that matches the feel of the ear cushions. Weirdly enough, you can’t really feel the weight on your head, if you adjust them correctly. They are on the heavier side, and the construction feels hefty in the hand. The headset is mainly made out of plastic, but the bar that connects the earpieces to the headband is constructed of metal. It looks big on your head and there’s no way around it. TR stands for Tournament Ready, and that’s exactly what the A40s are. Please also note that the intended use of this headset and the Mixamp is primarily for e-sports. The Mixamp can also work on the PS5 through a neat little workaround, if you’re fine with not using your headset’s mic. The A40 headset can, of course, work on a PS5, since it uses a standard 3.5mm connection. The Xbox version works perfectly on Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, and PC. This changes today, as I hold in my hands not only the Astro A40 TRs, but also the infamous Mixamp Pro.įor this review, we tested the Xbox version of the Astro A40 TR and the Mixamp Pro TR. In my time at BGeek, I have tested a lot of headsets some of the greatest headsets our ears had the pleasure of experiencing, and others with clear room for improvement. Years went by, and as I phased out of the Call of Duty scene, or rather, as Call of Duty phased out of the spotlight, I didn’t really hear much of Astro since. Bear in mind, that was back in 2012-2013. The Pros were always wearing these fancy Astro A40 headphones, and watching them make play after play with them, they became a sort of icon for competitive gaming. Growing up, I played a lot of Call of Duty, and I watched a lot of e-sports, or as we called it back then, “competitive”.
