no one ever talks about the eq bandwidth xCF in depth. i want to understand why there is only 3 when there's 5 options of eq? does the 3 xCF options control the eq lines in the middle only, or what? what about the lines on the left and right? why don't they have xCF bandwidth options as well? also, i've heard this is basically just bandwidth "nips" of how wide the eq curve is, is that true? any replies are appreciated.

New to my A50 headset, and my question is hopefully simple. Equalizer presets, what is each bar (5 bars that are customizable)? Bass, treble etc? I want to know when i raise the far left bar is that bass or something different. Cant find any information on which bar does what? Thanks so much.

Hi JTL. Big fan of your channel. I bought an ASTRO A40 (it’s coming) but I’m playing with my PLATINUM from Sony with the UNCHARTED 4 preset loaded on the headset. IDK about frequencies and stuff but what I really like on this Uncharted 4 preset is the fact that I can hear LOUD and CLEAR the Hitmarker sounds. I can hear every single bullet hitting the enemy. Please JTL, can you tell us which frequency we have to change to hear the HIT sounds? I don’t care about footsteps…I’d like to hear loud THE hit sounds when I use the Astro here…exactly like I hear with the uncharted preset on the Platinum.

I would still like to know what that button actually does to the sound so I can better make the decision of when I want it on or off. But I think that's a question I'll have to ask Astro themselves.

Hi there! :) Well first thanks for bringing to us your opinion on all this amazing stuff (like the a50´s). I actually might say that your review was the inflexion point where I finally decided to buy one. I felt was the closest to an honest opinion of what a proffesional would have told you if you go to a music studio and ask for good sound quality. You know, wihout all the selling/screaming/"premium" :P stuff. Well is funny that I'm now here asking you particulary about this matter, cause I cannot find anything in anywhere about the matter. Not even in the manual that comes in the box. Is about the digital out, and your video is the first hint of it that I get after searching the web for a couple of hours. Noone is refering to it when you connect them to the PC. Well it happens that I also have a digital out (lucky I am :)) And the question comes a little bit by itself: Can you connect the base from both usb and digital? Would create problem? Do I get benefit for conecting from both? Wich is the right way to do it? I hope you read this and can reach me with an answer :) PD: Excuse me for bad spelling. I'm spanish and can talk english (so so) but I'm not so use to write and this text is a gramatical mess xDDD
