Whats up everyone. Just as a basis I'm a bit of an audiophile and produce music as a hobby. I own a pair of Ultrasone Pro 900's that I use for producing and listening to music. I just got a pair of 2013 Astro a40's for PC and PS3 gaming. Now I am having a bit of doubts with them. They sound...

I have a nice set of Sennheiser HD580 for music/etc. Also I have an Astro A40 headset for comparison......   I have an Astro 7.1 Wired Mixamp (2011 Version) and a Turtle Beach DSS. I so far prefer the mixamp.......   I want something for pure FPS listening/directional/footsteps etc. I ,of...

Hi guys,   i'll be getting a new set of headphones as part of my new PC and just wanted to get some opinions between my selections.   Ive narrowed it down between the Sennheiser HD 598's and the Astro A40 2011. Now a majority of people recommend the 598s as they give the best sound...

I'm thinking about selling my brand new Astro A40 BXR Blue edition w/ wired mixamp because I'm in need of money for my new computer build. However, do they sell? And what's highest they go for? It's been opened and has about 3 hours of total use. Still have box and case

Ive been looking at several types of headphones to game on, but i want them to be solid all around, not just games. Mic is not important to me.   At first i was looking at the logitech g930 which has gotten great reviews, but later people started convincing me to go for "regular" headphones...

I know, I know...   M50s are full size cans and Turbines are in-ear, but I have a hard time deciding which one to buy since they are close to price.   I plan on using it for my iPod touch/iPhone 4s    I already have Astro A40s for my laptop so I won't be using the turbines or M50s...

i bought the samson sr850 instead of the a40's to go along with the astro mixamp what do you guys think? should i have shelled out the extra 60 or so dollars for the a40's or are they overpriced?

just ordered all this today and i can't wait!!! :)     -samson SR850 -astro mixamp -dealextreme mini mic     what do you guys use?     PS. is there some kind of external EQ thing that i could plug between the mixamp and headphones? if so a link would be cool.

Hey guys, I've only recently started doing research into audiophile-esqe stuff but I want to get going a good set-up for my PS3.   I want a pair of decent-high end headphones, I've looked Sennheisers such as the HD 595 and etc but don't know if that's the best choice. My budget would be...

I am looking for a nice headset setup for gaming on my Xbox 360, PC when Diablo 3 is released (I am mostly a console gamer), occasionally for Movies, and DEFINITELY great for music. As for my requirements, I'm extremely open to suggestions and appreciate any and all input. I am quite close to...

  Hello, I just registered so I can get help on choosing the right headphone for me. Well I like a lot of music, but mostly dubstep/techno/house/pop.   I looked up an people said get Beats? But then I looked around and people said there are a lot better headphones out there for the...

Hey guys, I recently purchased Astro A40s but due to them having lots of errors with the audio dropping out, I have decided that I am just going to buy a pair of headphones. I would like them for gaming but at the same time I want good music quality. I was thinking of Beats but people say they...

It's almost 2am, and I'm really tired. I'd like to write out an entire list of my dilemma, but nay, I cannot. So here is the short breakdown.   I upgraded my computer. It's amazing. And I'm now starting to get into gaming. This comes as I gave up about a year ago pursuing a really good pair...

Hi! A friend of mine is looking for a 7.1 channel gaming headset that is compatible with the PS3. I have been searching for 7.1 gaming headsets on Head-Fi for a while now, but it seems like every thread ends with the same conclusion over and over again, that Mixamp is the best way to go. I do...

one of my friends on xbox is telling me he is going to buy the a40's and i keep trying to convince him that the ath-ad700's are better. i told him to just get the astro mixamp and ath-ad700's. can the headphone savvy people of head-fi try to show him why they are better?   Please leave links...

  I found some phaiton MS 400 for around $180, so Ive been debating between the ath m50 and the MS400...   I would use them with my laptop, ipad, and android phone...     I just need a nice headphone to work in the design studio with, but I cant not bother those working around...

First you must understand that every headphone is different. This website is full of suggestions on how different headphones sound.  Do you know what you are looking for?  Think again. Hopefully this will help you see that some headphones may sound awesome, they are not what you need. In this...

Hey all.   I'm looking at replacing my old headset after a slight mishap.   I'm using it for gaming, so need a mic, and also music and movies.   I've been looking at Turtle Beach x41's or Astro A40's   Any other recommendations?

I would like to know if it is any good. I own an astro A40 mixamp doing kind of the same thing but much cheaper. Would it be a good upgrade or a waste of cash?

More than likely it will sound worse than their bigger brother, the A40 Astro A30 Audio System

Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 is a software solution, but I can't tell how well it compares to some of Creative's hardware solutions, such as: - Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! Pro - Sound Blaster Recon 3D - Sound Blaster Omni Surround 5.1 USB Sound Card - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB...
