Astro A40 TR Headset

Play like a pro with the Astro A40 TR Headset—the premier choice for esports athletes, content creators, and streamers who demand studio-grade audio, lasting comfort, and a modular, upgradeable design. Built to meet the exacting standards of high-stakes competition, the A40 TR blends precision sound with durability and customization so you can hear every cue, footstep, and voice with clinical clarity. This is more than a headset; it’s a complete audio ecosystem that grows with you as you level up your game, whether you’re grinding ranked matches, crafting compelling streams, or recording in a home studio. The A40 TR is designed to be mod kit ready, enabling players to swap components for personalized fit and sound without sacrificing performance, so you can tailor your setup to the game, platform, and environment you play in most.

• Unparalleled audio fidelity with Astro Audio V2 and 40mm drivers, delivering crisp highs, rich mids, and powerful bass that let you hear every detail—from the subtlest footstep in a tense corridor to the satisfying thud of a weapon reload. The tuned soundstage provides accurate localization, helping you pinpoint enemies and environmental cues with confidence, even in chaotic team fights or immersive single-player campaigns. Whether you’re coordinating team strategies or streaming commentary, you’ll notice cleaner voice separation and a more immersive sonic landscape that keeps you immersed and in control.
• Mod Kit Ready for ultimate customization. The A40 TR’s modular architecture invites you to personalize fit, comfort, and acoustics with official Mod Kits (sold separately). Swap out earmuffs, headbands, and acoustic chambers to dial in a sound signature and a physical fit that suits your head shape, glasses, and playing style. This flexible design is especially valuable for players who compete across multiple titles or switch between long practice sessions and live streams, ensuring you stay comfortable and focused without fatigue.
• Professional-grade detachable microphone with flip-to-mute and cardioid pickup. The boom mic captures your voice clearly while minimizing ambient noise, so teammates and viewers hear you precisely when you need to deliver precise callouts or stream-worthy commentary. The microphone’s adjustable position stays put during intense moments, and the flip-to-mute switch provides a quick, tactile way to cut audio when you need a private moment or mid-game pause. Clear voice capture is essential for coordination in competitive play and for maintaining high production value in streams and videos.
• Durable, comfortable build designed for long sessions and travel. The A40 TR combines a lightweight yet rugged aluminum frame with plush memory-foam ear cushions and an adjustable, pressure-relieving headband. The result is a headset that feels effortless on the head during marathon gaming sessions, practices, or travels to tournaments. The materials balance breathability with sound isolation, and the design emphasizes durability so you can rely on it in tournament environments, while still looking stylish on stream intros and offline edits.
• Versatile compatibility and ecosystem integration. The A40 TR is engineered for cross-platform versatility, pairing with PC and major consoles through MixAmp Pro TR or direct connections for console play. You gain the ability to create separate game and chat audio profiles, adjust mic levels, and tune overall sound through Astro’s software ecosystem to match your environment and content goals. This flexibility is particularly valuable for streamers who want clean, broadcast-quality audio during live sessions, or for competitive players who need precise audio cues to perform at their best across different games and platforms.
