On the back of the MixAmp, you’ll find a surprising number of ports. There are also two buttons on the front of the device-one to activate Dolby and one to switch between any of the four customizable EQ settings. One adjusts volume, the other adjusts the mix. The new MixAmp features two oversized, horizontally positioned nobs with easy to spin dials. It’s been a significant boon to pro gamers and streamers, and has helped cement Astro’s place in the esports scene. For those unfamiliar, the MixAmp is a small mixer that allows you to change volume, flip between EQ presets, and adjust the game and voice balance of your mix on the fly. I definitely believe these should be included in the box of this $250 wired headset, but they’re by no means a must-have purchase unless you require improved noise isolation.ĭanielle Abraham + 1 moreThe main feature on display here is the MixAmp Pro TR, which boasts new features to go with its entirely new design. And also like its predecessors, Astro’s still nickel and dime-ing for Mod Kits, which feature synthetic leather noise-isolating ear cups, a voice isolating microphone, a different headband, and closed-back speaker tags. The microphone is detachable, as are the speaker tags and fabric headband cushion. (Side note: the Xbox One version features black and red accents which look undeniably classy but not particularly Xbox-y.) Like its predecessors, the A40 TR is ready for lightweight customization. However, the newest A40 TR is more subtle, featuring black plastic, chrome rods, and either cobalt or black speaker tags. For better or worse, it’s still the same design-with oversized ear cups, shiny metal rods, and a bendable microphone. Astro A40 TR + MixAmp Pro TR – Design and FeaturesWhile Astro doesn’t make the most outrageous looking headsets out there, there’s no denying the A40 is a gaming headset and little has changed in the way of the aesthetic.
