@DaleMalley Yeah, I don't remember the PX5's very well, but when I had them they clamped way too hard on my head and it would begin to hurt. I played with my friend's Astro's and they were comfortable, but they have too many wires, low bass, little customization, and I couldn't find a setting on the MixAmp that allowed me to comfortably balance the game volume vs. the chat volume. Do you think that maybe the PX5's will stretch out over time and become more comfy?

Can you program the astro's on the computer?

@MrCaesar4321 their the same quality because xbox only supports up to 5.1 thats why turtle beach's new products are going to 5.1, also in my opinion and perspective after using astros for a while i started loving them the most compared to turtle beach because no matter what volume it gives you the best sound quality to soundwhore lol with good bass, and when i used turtle beaches they were nice but i mostly always had to turn the volume loud to soundwhore especially when talking with ppl

I love all the cook features turtle beach gives you but I just don't feel I can trust them because the bud quality is so cheap

I have owned a pair of TurtleBeach's before, and they just so happened to be my first REAL gaming headset, i love them and thought they were flawless, and sound quality was great, but the thing TurtleBeach lacks, is the build quality, total shit, there made out of cheap plastic and the wire will rip on you within a month or so o use. ASTRO A40'S all the way!!! MLG, NUFF SAID

[joeloutwar]

i have both headsets but i must say, preset set to footstep mastery, these blow the a40's out of the water, as i know use px5 and have my astros sitting around

[MrCameronBinkley]

@latestelectronics Question, is the sound quality really that big of a difference between the two?

[xFightingFalcon]

I would not recommend the Astro's, not enough bass, too many cords, lack of having the ability to balance game and chat audio well, and overpriced + overpriced and slow shipping from Astro.

I have never had the PX5s but I may try them once I sell my A40s.

[MrCaesar4321]

nice review, only that the px5's does have a better sound quality because they are 7.1 dolby surround sound and the astro's are 5.1

[fretfretwes]

@spike229 same thing here, when i use my px5s i just take my cell phone put it between my px5's and my head. i found out all expensive turtle beach headsets are this big x41's on up

[TheScorpionFaith]

Witch ones should i buy??

or another one suggest??
