Just got my Gunmetal Wireless! My initial impressions are extremely positive. They sound great wireless, and even better when wired and amped with my FiiO E09k + E07k combo. I've been listening to Spotify high quality and also a few movies, both wired and wireless.   Wired is great at my...

Great thread guys! I've learned a crazy amount just reading the past 30 or so pages (and of course the main post). I wanted to share my rather limited experience with the Astro A40 package and subsequent headphone purchases, specifically for use with gaming.   I ordered the Astro A40 package...
