When looking at this headset I was skeptical of its sound quality primarily because it was not 7.1 Dolby; however, I was completely wrong. The following is included: A40 wired headset, A40 microphone (detachable), MixAmp (puck that plugs into the control), ASTRO speaker tags, 3.3' A40 audio cable (used to connect to other devices) and 1.6' micro USB cable (used to update the control if need be)
Pros: style, sound quality (for being stereo), comfort, ease of use, and overall build quality.
Cons: Price, not 7.1 Dolby, color scheme.
Breaking down the cons: If you know ASTRO, you will know that their build quality and for this price you are definitely getting a great product. If you are interested in 7.1 Dolby, you will have to upgrade to the A50 $300 wireless version. Lastly, while I do not mind the current color scheme, I do wish there were more options as there are with the A50s.
Overall, if your budget is under 200$ then this headset just meets that mark. When looking at other headsets in this relative price point (XO Seven ($160) or Polk’s – 4 Shot ($160)) I would have to say this is the best headset I have tried. The comfort level is amazing, super lightweight does not hurt my head wearing it for hours on end. Sound quality is fantastic for being stereo.
My Best Buy number: 2574373665

If anyone is planning on going to SildeShowCollectibles.com - DON'T...They are overpriced and not worth it.
The Gift card you get with this set only covers the item that you wish to purchase, it DOES NOT cover the tax or the shipping.....
So no matter what you will have to pay THEIR Outrageous shipping and Tax
So no matter what you will have to pay THEIR Outrageous shipping and Tax
Once you open the Gift set, take out the card and cut it up, becuase its pretty much worthless....Everything on the site is extremely over priced and not worth the shipping. Not to mention that they only let you choose from their extremely expensive items...
What's great about it: Blu-Ray DVD and Optimus
What's not so great: The Pathetic $50 Gift Card for SildeShowCollectibles.com
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
