Secret Invasion Adele Ankers Peacemaker Samantha Nelson The headset is remarkably comfortable to wear for long periods, due to the padded soft-touch material on the headband and earcups. Although it grips your head quite tightly at first, it soon loosens up to provide a firm yet enjoyable fit. The cloth material also stops excess overheating and sweating, but note that the magnetic pads can be swapped out for other materials if so desired.

The volume dial is a very useful addition for console and PC users alike, while the numerous connections allow for advanced listening experiences, such as the ability to mix an external audio source into your game. The system can be used with or without additional software, and those opting to stream their games will appreciate the mixing options that the software provides. Vocals are clear and clean, with well-rounded mid-tones that rarely become muddy. Perhaps the biggest compliment that I can pay the A40 TR is that it genuinely sounds like a decent pair of dedicated headphones.

My testing mainly consisted of numerous games of Titanfall 2, with plenty of gunfire and explosions to put this headset through its paces. Explosions have a real thud to them, with the subtler sounds coming across clearly. Despite the lack of surround sound in the unit itself, the soundstage is relatively wide, which helps with immersion. This can be widened further by removing the side covers, and opting for the optional MixAmp Pro. The microphone is decent, too, but not nearly as impressive as the rest of the headset.

Everything is clear, with a surprisingly little static when used with the MixAmp. It can be quite easy to position the microphone too close to your mouth, however, and recordings do sound a little nasally. Distortion, too, is handled well, with the unit able to pump out loud volumes without issue. If you have a desire to tweak the sound signature within windows, have quick access to volume controls, or have a weak DAC in your system, then it may well be worth the investment.

If you want a wired gaming headset that delivers top-notch audio quality then the Astro A40 TR should be very high up your list. If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale.
