Everything You Need to Game Like a Pro
The Astro A40 Audio System combines crystal-clear voice communication with pinpoint-accurate Dolby® Digital 5.1 and Dolby Headphone surround sound technologies utilizing the most user-configurable headset on the market.
The A40 Audio System includes the external A40 MixAmp™, providing Xbox® and Xbox 360™ users with combined voice and game sound—ideal for tournament play and midnight gaming sessions. A discrete game/voice balance control lets gamers find the ideal in-game setting.
PC gamers also benefit, as surround decoding and voice communication duties are offloaded to the A40 system. Combining multiple A40 MixAmps provides a private, hands-free, full-duplex voice communication channel of a much higher quality than VoIP systems, with zero network and system lag.
Features
User-configurable microphone boom attaches to either side of the headset or removes completely
Quick-disconnect cable and multiple ends: an A40 MixAmp cable and a standard dual-jack PC connector with in-line volume and mute control
Daisy-chain connector for A40 MixAmps

About Dolby Headphone

Adding a dimension to the playing environment, Dolby Headphone gives gamers a competitive advantage, allowing them to better pinpoint enemies and obstacles that aren't even onscreen. Dolby Headphone technology also improves listening comfort, preventing the "listener fatigue" that often accompanies the typical headphone experience.
