Astro A40 TR Gen 3 X-Edition

The Astro A40 TRs give you pro-level quality and control with the reliability of a wired connection.

Astro's best wired gaming headset

Astro has been making waves in the gaming community for years with the quality of their headphones. They're frequently a top pick for professional gamers, who need their gear to perform reliably at the highest levels of competition.

The "Tournament Ready" A40s are the best wired headphones that Astro offers, delivering powerful sound and long-lasting comfort. The X-edition also comes in a striking red and black, with speaker tags and a mic that can be customized like Astro's mainline A40 TR headsets.

Consoles, computers, and phones...oh my!

The A40s use a simple minijack connection. This lets them hook right into your PC, most mobile devices, and the vast majority of gaming controllers on the market. They'll plug right into current and next-gen PlayStation and Xbox controllers, and most pro-style Nintendo Switch controllers.

If you play video games, chances are you'll be able to take advantage of the A40s.

Comfort for the long haul

The lightweight and ergonomic A40s fit snugly and securely without weighing down your head or feeling like a clamp. The earcups and padded headband are also super-soft and breathable, for comfort that can't be beat during extended gaming sessions.

Immersive, competitive sound

When I play Apex: Legends, the last thing I want is to be caught unawares while scrambling for the best loot. The soft ka-thunk of an enemy scaling a wall behind me or the pat-pat of their footsteps in the next room can tip me off to their location, letting me turn the tables instead of getting dropped like a steaming hot pocket.

The A40s have great imaging and sound directionality that pulls you into the game and improves your situational awareness. They're tuned to deliver detailed, accurate sound that feels lifelike and is easy to place in the game world.
