Hey guys I have posted on another forum or two outside of headfi, but I know there are some gamers on here that may be interested. Here is the Unboxing video and under are my initial sound impressions (Ill have a full review in a few weeks):
So the comfort of these is awesome. Feels literally like tempurpediac and more comfortable than my ATH A700'S.
They will actually contour to your glasses frame.
The old A40 has been described by guys like MLGSteggy as "hollow" with lacking bass. The new pads, really help keep the bass in
as these have some of the best bass I have heard out of gaming headset.
Compared to the Senn PC 360 with an ASTRO MixAmp:
A40 2011, sounds like an amazing surround sound speaker system in a perfect room, Tone is like a worn in acoustic guitar very woody.
The sound is definitley tuned for gaming, and even though they are an open ear headset they feel semi open.
PC 360, sounds natural, like you are actually there, sound is brighter like a new acoustic guitar, but it sounds thinner, although not in a bad way.
Needs more crank on the volume to match the level of the A40's with the mixamp. A bit more power hungry.
