  • This has to be the best gaming headset I've ever owned!I suffer from TMJ, and most headsets will hurt my jaw/give me a headache/make me nauseous/etc
  • Sennheiser and HyperX make some of the best gaming headsets on the market...
  • In my opinion, this is hands down one of the the best Gaming headsets to date.

Reviews around product (4.47 of 5)

  • Bought these from my boyfriend the cushions are the comfiest and over all are just a good product for gaming.
  • This would have been a better product, but they failed to list that 7.1 surround is only available when you purchase a very expensive mixer piece
  • so i am not going to bash the product very hard
  • The product was fine and given to me in good condition in a timely manner, I just didn't check to see if the headset was compatible with my laptop
  • this one did to perfection will always recommend this product

Reviews around work (4.40 of 5)

  • As a serious gamer a well working headset is a must for full enjoyment along with being able to communicate with friends/teammates online
  • The mic works very well and is quite clear in Discord chats
  • if you manage to get a good working pair or send the broken one back for a new one then these may be the perfect buy and i would say the mod kit would be worth it too but from my experience with these they get one star.
  • Trash, stopped working after a month
  • Seriously comfortable, works great with the Xbox One as well

Reviews around surround (4.37 of 5)

  • I absolutely love these, they're surround sound and and amazing quality
  • It is extremely comfortable and offers amazing surround sound while cancelling out all other noises
  • I used turtle beaches for the longest before this, only thing I’d say is the sound volume isn’t as loud as the TB’s
  • These headphones have great surround sound quality and are incredbily comfortable.
  • Balanced surround sound (very useful), durable construction, ultra comfortable

Reviews around good (4.35 of 5)

  • how many times I had to contact ASTRO for new parts is sad the inline mute cable is trash and broke 5 times in a matter of a year and the sway bar mic broke once as well
  • Once I got the mixamp in the mail there was a night and day difference, the two combined is 300% better than just the headset alone.in summary do not just buy the headset unless you're like me and wanted the black headset but wanted them to work on the pc as well, but for some reason the black kit is for the ps4 and pc
  • Seriously comfortable, works great with the Xbox One as well
  • but I also bought an adapter for ~$20 and it easily works with my Xbox One as well now
  • Seriously comfortable, works great with the Xbox One as well

Reviews around price (4.03 of 5)

  • Do yourself a favour and get these if you want a high quality gaming experience for a good price.
  • For the same cost usually (when not on sale) as my Audio Technica AD-900x's (which yes are expensive base price but are almost always on sale here
  • Definitely not worth the price.
  • I can't express enough how much I love this headset and highly recommend it to anyone who games for long sessions, b/c the sound quality is great and the pillowy earmuffs on the old headset were still as comfortable after 6+ years as the new one I just got last month
  • its soft i use these for my xbox and you don't really meed to buy a mix amp if you want to use it for your xbox one just buy the mic

Reviews around use (3.95 of 5)

  • I bought these with the Xbox One mixamp, and I can say this is the best headset I've ever used
  • Extremely comfortable and can be used with any device I own!
  • , the headset is desired to be used with the MixAmp, expensive.
  • I used turtle beaches for the longest before this, only thing I’d say is the sound volume isn’t as loud as the TB’s
  • I astros are a nice headset used by multiple or players or streamers, and as I started using then I see why because you can’t Hear outside noise and feels good on your ears and mic is nice quality.

Reviews around headphone (3.76 of 5)

  • These headphones bleed the most sound I have ever heard in my 15 years playing PC games
  • These are arguably the best headphones on the market and for the price you cant beat it
  • These are the best headphones that I have gotten to date
  • they fail to mention is that these headphones are obsolete without buying another $130 mix amp...why the hell would they not just work on a standard 3.5mm Jack on my PS4 controller
  • I’ll stick with cheaper quality headphones that produce the same results and last longer

Reviews around mic (3.27 of 5)

  • The mic is once again failing and the inline mute cable is next to worthless
  • While the Razer had good sound the mic would always pick up other noise and if it wasn't positioned correctly it would sound like I was in a wind tunnel just from breathing
  • Has a very nice quality and the mic in-game sounds clear.
  • The mic works very well and is quite clear in Discord chats
  • Other then coming with a dead mic they are great headphones

Reviews around wire (1.95 of 5)

  • In my experience, the cable is the Achilles' heel of most headsets; The wires inside break and the headset is ruined
  • I have to twist the wire around or unplug and replug it back into the headphones until I get sound out of both sides
  • its soft i use these for my xbox and you don't really meed to buy a mix amp if you want to use it for your xbox one just buy the mic
  • so you don't have to buy a whole new headset if the wire ever goes bad
  • I bought a pair of Astro A40's back in 2011 for $250 and they worked flawlessly up until this year, the wire that comes out of the actual headset itself started to short out, causing me to lose sound in the left ear unless I held the wire a certain way
