Thinking back to playing CS, I heard some experts share their tips, and surprisingly, several experts all said the secret was to "listen for footsteps." Many people focus on their mouse and keyboard when gaming, and some even upgrade to a better monitor, but they often overlook sound. Here, I'd like to introduce you to the ASTRO A40 Headset + MIXAMP PRO Gaming Audio Card. This set can greatly enhance your combat effectiveness!
ASTRO, from the US, is considered a top brand in gaming headsets. This unboxed set is specifically designed for the needs of esports athletes and game streamers. When I picked it up, the box was big and heavy, with a substantial feel!
First, let's introduce the A40 TR headset:
In terms of appearance, the A40 comes in several colors, and the one I got this time is blue. Don't like blue? No problem. The 2019 version of the A40 features a highly customizable design. The headband, speaker tags, and even the microphone can be freely replaced with separately purchased "A40 TR MOD KIT" to match your style.
Since I have a rather large head, wearing headphones often makes me uncomfortable. When I put on the A40, I found that the headband has a very large adjustable range, fitting everyone from men to women, young and old. It's comfortable even with glasses on! The breathable foam earcups are also thicker than most headphones, embracing the ears for a good sense of security and improved sound isolation.
Another highlight is the MIXAMP PRO TR gaming audio card, which allows users to adjust voice balance, making it convenient for gaming and audio streaming. The large wheel on the left adjusts the volume, while the small wheel adjusts the balance between game audio and voice chat. The small button above in the middle switches between Dolby Surround and preset settings, and the small button below it is used to switch between 4 EQ profiles.
The back of the device has multiple input/output jacks, including two DAISY CHAIN jacks for connecting multiple AMPs; an optical input; a Micro USB for connecting to a computer; an Aux input, which also serves as a Mic output; a Stream port for outputting streaming audio; and a toggle switch for PC/PS4 Mode. The front of the device has a 3.5mm headphone output, allowing you to plug in the A40 headset! Of course, other headphones can also be used normally.
Using an external audio card naturally provides better sound quality than a computer's built-in audio card. Furthermore, the MIXAMP PRO TR is very convenient for game streamers and esports players. After connecting to a computer and going through a simple setup, you can instantly adjust the balance between game audio and voice chat using the scroll wheel. By downloading the COMMAND CENTER software, you can access more advanced settings, such as EQ and microphone noise reduction. Streamers can also adjust the streaming audio balance within the software and output the audio to their audience via the Stream port.
