The 2013 Astro A40 PC gaming headset is all you’re ever going to need or
want to game in the highest sound and voice quality on your PC or notebook. For
years, the A40 has been the “gold standard” in gaming headphones. We now
have a headset specifically for those who prefer the click of a mouse rather
than squeeze of a controller trigger.
Capture all sounds the developers intended while speaking clearly through our
precision mic. Tuned with Astro Audio, the “gold standard” in gaming
headphones is now available in a PC specific version.
New Media Cabling System – The Media Cable is has been optimized for PC,
Notebook, and Mobile gaming by putting the controls right at your fingertips.
We've updated the Quick Disconnect system, with our new Media Cable that plugs
directly into the headset via a 3.5mm 4-pole jack. The Media Cable offers an
in-line microphone, an in-line mute switch, a volume control wheel, and a
call/pickup/tracking button.
- NOTE – The MixAmp™ or wireless MixAmp™ 5.8 MUST be purchased
in order to use Xbox Live or PlayStation 3 online voice communication and
enable 7.1 Dolby Surround in your A40 Headset.
