You can still swap the boom mic from earcup to earcup, and the magnetic earcup covers (officially called "speaker tags") are removable for any customization you'd want to do.Īs for audio, they deliver the clear, earcup-rattling (literally) sound I've come to expect from Astro gear. If you're a Detroit Lions fan, these'll be right up your alley, but others might not be so into them.įunctionally, nothing has really changed. Rather than all-black styling, these are a light gray with baby blue accents. The new A40s are different in that regard, but only on a superficial level. They're unobtrusive, comfortable for long periods and are easy to use. They sound great for everything - even voice transcription - and are the gold standard I compare every gaming headset to. I've been using my MLG-edition A40s as my go-to headphones for home use since 2011 I'm intimately familiar with them. Setup is a cinch as well: Just plug the M80 into your controller, the cable into the headphones and you're good to go. Oh, and the mute button/volume knob combo is huge and super easy to get to even without looking at the controller. Where it differs, though, is the M80 offers three different EQ settings - no bass, medium bass and lots of bass - and replaces the 3.55mm headphone input with a roughly 4-foot linguini cable and 3.5mm headphone jack that plugs into the base of the left earcup.
It replaces the console's aforementioned adapter, but essentially performs the same tasks: voice/game audio balance and one-button muting. What do the new A40s offer the old ones don't? Well, the biggest addition is the M80 MixAmp that plugs directly into the Xbox One controller. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
