Astro A40 Audio Gaming Headset Review: Great sound, but lacks iPod adjust
Consisting of a headset and a dedicated mixer and amplifier, the Astro A40 Audio Gaming System is geared towards Xbox and PC gamers who want solid surround sound without violating municipal noise ordinances.
The Good: Headset is comfortable, great sound, and fairly attractive to boot. Dolby Surround support.
The Bad: Some noise leaking from the headset. Balance on the Mixer will only handle game and voice volume, so you have to adjust your iPod manually.
The Bottomline: The MixAmp’s best feature is the Dolby Surround support, pumping surround audio in a multi-channel setup, or simulating it on standard stereo headphones. So even if you’d rather stick to your own headset, you can still get (faux) surround sound. Read more
