What else can we say? The Astro A40 system is easily one of the best headsets/gaming audio systems we have ever tested. Expensive? Yes, but if you plan on using it with your PS3, 360, and PC, then it’s a sound investment.

Comfort, for multiple head and hair sizes. Clear voice quality is a plus for smacktalking. Connectivity options to complement most setups.
