It's easy to deliver instructions or just chat after a legendary victory with a precision microphone — and when you're done playing, simply remove the mic to enjoy your favorite tunes or movie audio. Enhance your next gaming session with bold, crisp sound that puts you in the heart of the action.
I purchased the A50's (the big brother to these) a while back to use with my computer. Sound comfort and fit all worked very well for me, and left me happy with the quality of the Astro's. The headphones however died frequently enough, that I felt like I was plugging them in, and unplugging them constantly. I purchased the a40s with the mix amp, and have had a very similar experience with my satisfaction. These are everything that's great about the a50's, but wired.
