That means any kind of volume and preset control is limited to the Mixamp Pro TR. It’s a wired headset that doesn’t have any onboard controls, save for an inline mute button found along the auxiliary cable. I do enjoy the Astro A40 TR’s minimalist design. It would make more sense if a mod kit was included in this bundle, especially since the A40 TR touts itself as a premium gaming headset. The option to go from open to closed-backed is particularly cool, but it can cost you an additional $40 – $60 on top of the already pricey $250 you’ll spend for the headset and Mixamp. Everything from the cloth cushioning on the ears and headband to the speaker tags and boom mic can be replaced. They can be swapped out with closed-backed noise isolating speaker tags using a mod kit, which you’ll again have to dish out additional money for.Ĭustomization is a highlight of the Astro A40 TR headset. The stock speaker tags, which are the removable plates on the back of the ear cups, are bland, but you can purchase flashy replacements on the Astro Gaming website. The ear cups didn’t press too firmly against the sides of my head, which is a plus, especially since I wear glasses. The headset is also incredibly comfortable, with soft cloth cushions and ear cups that cover the entire ear. It’s actually kind of adorable, in a Transformers cosplay kind of way. The headset itself is sleek and stylish, sporting two metal pipes on each side that allow you to adjust how high or low the ear cups sit, but also add some flair, resembling the exhausts you’d find on a truck. All of these cables, sans the auxiliary, will only be used if you’re using the headset with the Mixamp Pro. Inside the box, you’ll find both the Astro A40 TR headset and Mixamp Pro TR, along with a swappable boom microphone and auxiliary, Micro-USB, TOSLink Optical, and Digital Daisy Chain cables.
