It’s partly why these headphones being refreshed is more about the MixAMP then the headphones themselves. These headphones are still some of the best sounding headphones in the game today. When you buy a set of Astro A40’s you should expect that the sound will be as good as the pricepoint tells you they should be. So with Astro not changing a thing does it mean that these headphones sound the same? Yes, somewhat but this isn’t a bad thing. The wire itself is durable and sturdy and it has a simple slide up and down mute button on it for ease of use since your volume is all controlled through the MixAMP. You can swap the mic to either the right or left side and with all that you get a 6ft wired cable that plugs directly into the MixAMP Pro. You can still swap your earcup backplates for custom ones that Astro sells or if you know someone that does them custom then that works too. You can use leather or the soft felt pads. You still have the customization options for your earcups. The headband is still as comfortable as it’s always been with the earcups still being the same. Nothing much has changed functionally in terms of how it fits on your head and how it feels. Either way, it’s an improvement cosmetically albeit minor but they look super clean. The earcups have a clean looking black and faux metal set of TR covers, the adjustment slider has a brushed aluminum look and overall the new A40s are just a hair lighter or at least they feel that way. What is different are the subtle things that make the already premium A40’s feel more premium. When you look at the new A40’s there isn’t really much different in the design. The A40’s have been refreshed, the MixAMP Pro has been completely changed and it’s all for the better. Astro remains at the top of the list and the A40’s are my personal choice for all gaming cans related to Astro with the A50’s running a close second. I’m still relatively new to the gaming headphones game but in my time so far I’ve narrowed down my headphones brand choices to 2 or 3 brands. Awhile back I had gotten into Astro headphones when I had gotten my first pair of A40’s with the MixAmp Pro TR edition. It’s what they’re known for, it’s what they do so well. Astro is at the top of the food chain when it comes to their gaming headphones.
