While it lacks the fancy wireless and software features that many newer gaming headsets offer, the device is pretty much beyond reproach otherwise. It sounds good; it feels comfortable; it works with just about every system. It's hard to ask for more than that. For old-school PC gamers who don't need a lot of bells and whistles, the Astro A40 is still one of the best gaming headsets. Likewise, the Astro A40 has a lot to offer console players who want good sound, and don't mind a wired connection. When a gaming headset goes for almost a decade-and-a-half without a major refresh, it must be doing something right.
