I’m especially a fan of the A40’s default microfiber earcups. HyperX and SteelSeries are on-par with Astro, and Logitech not far behind, but the A40 deserves credit all the same. IDG / Hayden DingmanĬomfort is also first-class. Still, I’m sure it’s appreciated by a certain niche. I’ll personally never use that feature, and left-hand mics are so standardized I actually find the idea of a right-hand mic a bit unsettling. It’s one of the few headsets with a reversible microphone-meaning it can be plugged into either the left or right ear to suit your preference. Astro’s smart to leave it alone for the time being.Īnd the A40 still tops the competition in certain departments, even without a refresh. Astro still has a few years left though, and if ever there were a not-broke-don’t-fix-it situation it’s the A40. Most of these “edgy” designs age out, but the A40 doesn’t look dated yet-which is not to say it won’t eventually. And why not? The A40 is an icon, especially the exposed metal rods that protrude through the headband. Otherwise, the A40 is essentially frozen in time.
That’s it! That’s the one change! (Maybe.)
