Astro Gaming makes some of the best Dolby surround-sound headphones on the market - but unlike other big names in the field, it doesn't produce new cans often. The A40 headset ( OXM score: 9.0) came out in 2008; their slightly cheaper offering, the A30 ( OXM score: 8.5), hit shelves in 2010.

+ Finally! An Astro headset that's almost completely free of cords, + Warm, buttery audio; clear Xbox Live chat; very good battery life

? So; who's betting on 2016 for an Astro A60 headset

Nearly every PC accessory manufacturer out there now has some kind of sound product on the market. Corsair's got speakers and headsets, while companies that traditionally have made input devices, like Logitech and Razer, have been selling audio stuff for years.

Edition is purely...

The sound is great. When I first launched the headphones I had to make sure my TV volume was still off because I couldn't even tell that those were the headphones. The binaural audio really doesn't seem all too different from other headsets and it's bluetooth range doesn't seem to work from all too...

i love the audio on this headset, its awesome. though me and plenty of friends have had issues with the wires, i would never say this headset is wireless. i have to charge it for a week straight for them to not die whilest playing.
