Astro A40 BXR Unboxing (2011)

About BXR Special Edition
Back again by popular demand, the A40 BXR Special Edition Headset comes with all the great features of the A40 headset but now in three new colors: blue, military green, and red. Choose your clan's team color or customize your A40 headset even further. Game with style!

The ASTRO A40 2011 Edition Audio System lets you game like a pro more than ever before. As the official licensed headset of Major League Gaming (MLG), the world's largest professional video game league and largest provider of cross platform online videogame competition, for the past three seasons, the ASTRO team listened to the pro players and added new features they've been asking for. Still sporting 40mm drivers tuned with ASTRO Audio, the A40 2011 Edition will deliver every detail of your gaming, movie, or music experience.

Engulf yourself in uncompressed voice and game sound - The A40 Audio System includes the patent-pending external MixAmp™, providing Xbox 360, PS3 and PC gamers with 7.1 Dolby Surround and combined voice audio - ideal for tournament play and discrete "midnight gaming" sessions.

Features Include:

Amazing sound quality - Combining audiophile-grade sound and crystal-clear voice communication, you'll hear your enemies from every direction. Give a read through our reviews or check out any MLG event in person to hear for yourself.

New and Improved Microphone - When you're on the MLG main stage with thousands of dollars on the line, you need your mic to stay put to hear your teammates clearly while blocking out the roaring crowds. The A40 2011 Edition features a new and improved mic that picks up your voice flawlessly, filters out the cheering fans and stays exactly where you place it.

Enhanced Audio and Comfort - Already boasting the most comfortable ear cushions available in a gaming headset, we worked with MLG pros to block more outside noise and deliver more bass without losing the richly detailed positional audio the A40s are known for.

Signature ASTRO Construction - The A40 has set the standard for quality and performance since its introduction in 2008. The 2011 Edition continues this tradition with unsurpassed durability, flexibility, adjustability and of course our exclusive Quick Disconnect cabling system.

Fully Configurable Comfort and Style - ASTRO A40's are a fully adjustable headset to fit any size user. The boom mic can be positioned on either ear or removed entirely. ASTRO's patent-pending removable speaker tags allow you to game in style, featuring an online Speaker Tag Customizer to design your own unique look (sold separately).

Multi-Platform Solution - Like all ASTRO headsets, the A40 2011 Edition enriches your audio experience no matter what console you game on or which audio devices you use. For the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, simply pair your A40's with our wired MixAmp™ for a complete console solution. The A40 Headset is also perfect for your PC, Mac, iPhone, Smartphone, iPad or anything else with a standard headphone jack.

Sound and Voice Controls at Your Fingertips - The MixAmp™ features discreet controls for game-to-voice balancing and master volume control. Dial in your own settings to meet your needs.

Quick Disconnect (QD) Cable System - The A40 comes standard with a mute switch and two QD cables; a 2M cable for console gameplay, and a 2M PC cable with volume control, and a standard dual-jack PC connector.

@bigbentech where I the new videos

[BigBenTech]

@mrhaha4444ham I should have a video up before this weeks over. I got real busy with work after the holidays but now its getting back to normal

[Serratis]

is it worth getting the wired one?

[BigBenTech]

@Serratis I personally like less wires. But I am told the wired version is better for competitive gaming

[IvIustangsvt2003]

@BigBenTech i thought there was no difference as far as sound quality between the wired and wireless version?

[BigBenTech]

@IvIustangsvt2003 I have not used the wired version but as with most wireless headphones or speakers the wired version usually sounds better. Thats not to say that my wireless a40's don't sound good. I thnk they sound great.

[BigBenTech]

@BigBenTech Yeah I agree it will probably be hard to tell. I might try to get the wired mix amp so I can do a comparison video with it versus the wireless version

[IvIustangsvt2003]

@BigBenTech i see. alot of videos ive seen and reviews said they isnt a difference. i hope not. even if there is, im sure i wont be able to tell lol. =] thanks for the fast reply

[IvIustangsvt2003]

@theboatunion yea the took away the case, speaker tags, and the foam ear cushions. but they did add a 10 psn chat cable....still the same price tho...i was pretty pissed at this. supposedly it was a limited time thing and they did it out of the kindness of their hearts.....-_-

[BigBenTech]

@theboatunion I agree. I ended up buying it separately when it was restocked but I agree with you that they just want more money
