    I got my first A40s when the xbox one came out. I always found them so comfortable. Eventually I developed a hatred for wires, so I went the wireless route with another brand. Recently realized the quality of wired over wireless is incomparable and ordered another pair for myself for Christmas. Glad I kept my gen3 mixamp and my Mr. Meseeks speaker tags. I'm super excited. Excellent review!

    • @JakeVirdenTech

      Hi @espiridionhinojosa5260. There unfortunately not a way around this since the headset its self doesn't have any sort of chip built in for adjustments.

    @Canadian.dude123 9 месяцев назад

    I really love this headset but I might have to move away from it.
    I love the Mix amp and the game/chat audio. However on ps5 there is no digital audio port. The astro hdmi audio extractor does not let me do 1440p 120hz.
    I’ve been trying to find a workaround for months now. I spent $400 on this headset about 4 years ago, any options remotely close are about $450 now.
    If anyone has a workaround for PS5, please let me know

      Hi Mantic. I believe they would work for both, some TR headsets can be purchased for PC/XBOX or PC/PlayStation, but I think that is for the Mix amp compatibility, not the headset itself.
