[@-aodoine-5266]

I love the Astro products! Too bad the money has gone for survival now...

[@USMC-es4yy]

This is gotta be the most straightforward no BS professional review I've ever seen in my life!!! Straight to the point,clean and clear! Thank you!

[@alex2spac12spac4]

I've been using A40s since ~2013 and only had to replace mine last year. 6 year lifetime for a headset! Bought A40s again when I had to finally get a new pair. Would never go back to any other headset!

[@OGsmokeysun23]

You still have the a40s still to this day?

[@alex2spac12spac4]

@@OGsmokeysun23 I do indeed! Had no issues with the new pair at all since I posted this

[@HH-oo7gl]

same here I have a50 for more than 5 years but it did giving me signs it's about time to replace it with new one

[@clemesnvi]

Why not try the A50? I don't what to buy, I want to buy to use on Xbox and PC with a USB KVM to switch between both

[@dustinfellows6765]

YO Noobifier! You're a godsend. I've always loved your videos regarding Star Citizen, so when I recently decided to up my ante with audio, a buddy recommended the A50's, so I was watching some reviews, and just so happened to see your telltale thumbnail in the corner of my eye. I almost gasped out loud. I've always appreciated your No BS approach to things, so I'm super thankful to have found this review of yours. Thank you so much for what you do, you're awesome.

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Glad I could help! BTW, I took these on tour with me for 6Mo and they are still my daily.

[@dylankhan5187]

Been looking a A50s for a while and your review was helpful

[@shawnknepper1601]

For the general public unaware, Due to new generation gaming systems lack of optical port, If using A50 you will not beable to use your custom Command center EQ profiles with Dolby access EQ profiles overriding all

[@XenofexBe]

"I've been an FPS-gamer since Wolf3D... i'm old." wait a minute. Wolf3D was basically yesterday, right? right?!

[@JagHiroshi]

That's this year's birthday present from the wife then. Ta 😄

[@DigThat32]

I used to buy nothin' but Turtle Beach til I finally got tired of em breaking. Picked up the Astro A10 & have been rockin' em ever since. Luv the sound & comfort over the ear. Checked this video out to see about upgrading, because the 1 thing I don't like is the pad pushing down on the top of my head. Looks like these do too. Good video.

[@USMC-es4yy]

It's good to cause if your just into sound the A10's have the same speaker as there 300 dollar offerings!

[@XxFunkMachinexX]

@TheNOOBIFIER1337 Man, I've been watching you since your early Star Citizen content. You've gotten so well established since then! I've always loved your extremely articulate reviews of ships and content. Keep killing it out there!

[@slickfingers]

love the a50s because I can move around a lot

[@headcheck100]

Your video quality is getting super good. Thanks for the review

[@valorandvenom1131]

Solid review. Definitely worth checking out. I think for immersion and feedback people should never go cheap on headphones they are just as important as a graphics card is. This review answered the questions I was thinking about. Bravo!

[@-DeZiRe-]

Best explanation of the command center. Very nice. I’m receiving the a40s tomorrow. I cannot wait to use this headset. First time buying a high end headset.

[@Temido2222]

2013 Astro A40s still alive. Nice set of cans.

[@samssb2364]

Considering the A50 is almost 200 dollars more expensive, I would have expected the amp to be with it, along with the base.

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

The charging base, IS THE AMP. They are wireless

[@samssb2364]

TheNOOBIFIER1337 oh, sorry. I was eating a sandwich and I wasn’t fully attentive. Nice vid as always.

[@ec-norsemanzero-drake7031]

Where was this in January. Think I would got a set of the A50. Thanks for the details. On my list for the next set.

[@williamburson9710]

I had a pair of old Astro a few years ago which I like very much. I would choose the A50's just for the wireless aspect.

[@Yama_1291]

In case anyone is curious, I'm using A40 with a LukeClip and it works well.

[@chrish4483]

Very timely vid. I have been in the market for a great set of headphones for awhile now...My TMasters and Sennheisers just haven't been cutting it for me

[@lowprime]

Was there an mic test for the a40?

[@ianwilson4286]

Great review, I am looking for a new headset and your timing is on the spot. Now I need to pick the 50 or 40.

[@HK94]

So, Sir NOOB is a professional unboxer now 😄, this was a better review/unbox video than actual unbox channels put out...👍

[@charliepotts3659]

I don’t know what it is but Astros just do it right look good feel good I have had the base Astros for feels like 6 years now no foam on the top and I refused to get a new one but been having some problems so I’m upgrading to the a50s could not reccomend them enough

[@aderek79]

Both A40 and A50 look great. Personally, I think I would prefer them without the default bass boosted.

[@cptcarot]

The look nice & have some wicked features. Going to check out the A40 (PS4) Versions

[@zat132]

Very solid review. Thought about getting one of these a long time ago. Went with cheaper since I didn't use that much

[@illik4018]

I've been 40s for about 2 years and I had the a 50 before that for about 6 years( reason I bought new ones is my 2 year old broke the old ones no fault in the astro. Just not built to handle a 2 year old lol.) Anyway love them I'll be sticking with astro for years to come.

[@Sgt_Bilko]

That setup

[@kaywhy1337]

Great review, wish i could test them in person

[@benvalle8253]

Damn it. Now I want a pair.

[@2bsemperfi]

Being a Nerocognative Disorder guy I found this Noobifier review to be quite pleasant to follow. I am really loving the "sound" and look of the ASTRO A40. I am not much of wireless being around the head. I have had my fill of radiation in my life. The mix amp pro looks to be what I would need to get my start in streaming a go. I use my pc every day as I am in my wheelchair a great deal. My PC is one that I have built years ago and really need to update so this would be a welcomed and needed addition. Thank you for the great review. It is appreciated. I look forward to meeting you in the "VERSE". ISEMPERFI

[@prich0382]

Dude what radiation? Lol, you are scared of radio/microwaves with such tiny power rating? Jesus dude

[@triloquiist9198]

i don't mind my headset being wired or wireless because i sit at a desk gaming but what i do care about is audio. is there a difference in audio between the two Headsets? if so is it noticeable?

[@adsasson]

I have had the A40 with MixAmp for years. While it is durable and the sound quality is good, I have had problems with the mic. One mic failed and was replaced by manufacturer. Despite replacement, when I was playing with other people, I had continuous complaints about my mic from other people, saying that it sounded like I was rubbing the mic against sandpaper. Nothing I could do seemed to solve this.

[@lordnedz]

Thanks for your head phone updates Noobifier.

[@topminion554]

Hi I do not understand how the balance feuture works on my a50 if you could help that would be great thx

[@raygalaxygaming]

Do the Astro Connect with the astro A50 Because I’m still trying to figure out how to do mine and I can’t figure it out

[@EnriqueGonzalez-in2yk]

what do you mean?

[@MrAntastik]

Hello you recommend which headset between the A40TR+ mixamp gen 4 and the a50 gen 4 for PlayStation 5 ? ty

[@lamb-tika-cod4934]

A40TR its just beautiful

[@ezradaniels146]

Thanks so much! I thought my headset was broken😭

[@wallacefrey6247]

Great looking headphones.

[@tylerbrown4367]

Thank you

[@Richy_rich-ns1bf]

is the a40 mix amp compatible with the a50 base station ? also the sream por on the a40 mixamp does that go to capture card?

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

It is not

[@callumisles2758]

hell yeaaaa brother

[@SamLowry_DZ-015]

Impressive features for sure!

[@lostboy2637]

3:11 what is this whistle in the background?

[@Noiprox90]

A50, can they still be charged by wire. Mine dont got that charging stand and need a wire to charge. And by that i can charge while using them if they run out of power.

[@Star-Man]

Great video :D

[@troyanderson4335]

The Game/voice Balance Dial on my Mixamp pro TR is not working. I went from Xbox to PC. It worked just fine on my Xbox. right now that’s the only issue I’m having. Anybody know how I can fix this? Thank you.

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Are the drivers up to date?

[@PQKnuckles]

Tipx in the background?! nice ;D

[@abramlionel4990]

Would wired make a difference over wireless

[@yusufsahin6093]

How do you mute the A40's ?

[@nz-punisha]

Use the inline cable button that connects the mix amp to the headset.

[@pjos11]

When using the four presets do you keep the mixamp on the Star?

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

They are independent, you can use the four, without changing Dolby mode.

[@NP907AK]

I been a huge Astro A50 user for about 10 years with the different generations. I did though move to the Arctic Pro newest gen. The interchangeable battery was too good of a feature. I use to have to pretty much keep my A50s plugged in because I use them so much that each day it was being plug by the end of the night. With the Arctic Pro I just grab the battery. I do miss my Astros though... If they had interchangeable batteries like my $300 Arctic Pros then I would go right back to the Astros.

[@lasse4416]

I checked the prices and i think i have to go now.

[@moustaphaboudib8038]

hi, i bought the astro a40 tr xbox / pc version, and i would like to know it is compatible with the ps4 / pc version mixamp? the mixamp xbox / pc version is out of stock

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

I believe the Mix Amp is the part that is either XBox or PS. I would have to ask tech support

[@pandapapa5399]

I need headsets and the A40 will be the best to me

[@General.Falcon]

One word... : "WOW" Its such a nice design. I like it. But how much better will it sounds vs the Logitech Artemis G933? I'm so sattisfied with my snow edition, but when it can be better, I realy like to sample because sound and graphics are to me very essential. Btw, service, software and driver updates are essential to me as well Anyone knows the differends between them both allready?

[@supermassivegamehole2269]

I can tell you the difference as I have both the logi 933 on PC and have used a pair of (older version than reviewed) A50s for a few years. The astro is the better headset all around in my opinion. I love the 933 for its integration with all my other logi peripherals and it's quick customization in Ghub and as you know the 7.1 simulation is solid on it! That being said I don't think I would buy it again. The Astro A50 has marginally better drivers in it producing more clean and better sound and has a FAR better mic quality for chat. My only gripe about the A50, to @noobifier point, is it is EQ a little to heavy on the bass. There have been moments in RDR2 that almost made my ears bleed. I like my sound loud for immersion and it just hits too hard with bass. That said, my old ones I can't eq on console so if you can tweak it now than life is good. Hope this helps!

[@jeffbwilliams23]

Hey Noob, as a fellow audiophile, how would you rate these against the razer nari ultimates?

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

jdubs 23 it’s difficult really to quantify because For gaming, these are tuned perfect. I would probably go get a set of Shure 840s if I planned to sit and enjoy music over these, but then I really am also a sucker for convenience as I find myself using AirPod pro most of the time when I am out and about. I am more of a speaker user than headphones. I know that does not answer the question, sorry

[@zerox5552]

So which is better

[@johndurden]

Is there any lag in the side tone? I need to be able to hear myself, but if there's any latency it'll drive me nuts.

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

No lag. It’s internal

[@johndurden]

@@NOOBIFIER1337 Annnnd that fast reply on a months-old video earned a sub. Thanks! I fully expected to never get a response!

[@kaedron17]

I almost picked up the A40s before my friend suggested the SteelSeries Arctis series due to the clamping force of the A40s. I get pressure headaches pretty easily so I went with the Arctis 7s. Of all other reviews I've heard, the A40s are pretty solid.

[@user-iu7hj3vc6e]

I have so many issues with my 7x

[@AyooViral]

@@user-iu7hj3vc6e same have issues with my 7p

[@loopylucifer]

How do you change the EQ only using xbox

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Quite sure that these features might be limited to PC only. BUT, you can connect to PC, adjust and save a profile to the device

[@loopylucifer]

@@NOOBIFIER1337 ah ok thank you

[@jbirdmax]

Those headphones are nice and all, but if I could afford them, I’d rather buy a Caterpillar or reclaimer.

[@neilcoughlin2892]

Will this work with hyperspace cloud headset }

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

The amplifier/DAC?

[@abramlionel4990]

The A50 are a bit heavier and kinda start hurting top of headband after a while the A40 are a bit lighter

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Interesting, they are heavier, but that isn’t my summation

[@Holt0216]

its a good review but I feel like you kept getting quieter and quieter throughout the video. I had to constantly keep bumping my volume up

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

It is possible

[@johnzimari6093]

Me like A50 :)

[@golmgamer]

I have to say, the headsets and joysticks you review are generally too expensive. Nice headsets, though...

[@shehatesjacobb7843]

for the a50s should i use the dolby button or not?

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

I use it for gaming as it adds more spatial awareness

[@JohanK1984]

🤯👌

[@stefanhansen7353]

Does the A50's get as loud as the Astro A40 TR?

[@GoGupGo]

I own both and they both sound the same to me and yes my A50 get just as loud as my A40.

The mixamp is in the headset integrated. U don‘t need to buy one extra.

Are a40’s a bit better than a50 in sound ?

Why isn't there a single reviewer addressing the fact that at least on PC with the dolby button on, there is absolutely zero surround sound? I've been using Astro brand since 2010 and this is the first generation where it's been like this. The appeal of this headset to me has always been the ridiculous surround sound capabilities of this headset with the dolby button.

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

You have to add the DOLBY ATMOS driver

[@Robert048]

@@NOOBIFIER1337 Does that require turning off the dolby button on the mix Amp?
