Slipknot31286sic6 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'd buy used A40 astro TR. Finally retired my ps4 golds. Wont go wireless ever again. These A40 built like tanks and sound so much clearer and loud. I use the mod kit tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at replacing my old mixamp (5 yrs +) at the moment... Regarding headphones: Astro A40's are a good shout, very good sound, mine have lasted well but I'm retiring them now and have an upgrade in the mail (keeping the A40s as backup).

I always read the bum to mid-range reviews on Amazon to get an idea of the problems, I expect you've done that already anyway. And if you order them from Amazon and they suck then you can easily send them back without any grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipknot31286sic6 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I've messed with astro command center a little. It's extremely advanced if u don't understand frequency. Yes u can use standard 5 band or input your own frequency and levels. I jus altered the tournament eq a little to help with foot prints. Very happy with it. Game sounds night and day from Sony golds. Infinite warfare hard as it is to hear foot prints. Question is with hyper X is Will it hold up. I get sick of buying cheap Shit for it to fall apart. And wires? Rather have wires than damn thing dying on me. With my golds I always had to run usb cable from a power hub cuz they didn't last more than 3hrs on a charge. Then got weaker and weaker per charge. Freedom of no wires isn't worth the hassle and performance loss. Pick up a 4 pole extension cable for astro TR. To me 6ft isn't comfortable enough from desk to chair. USB and optical is 10ft so no problem there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
