After buying my son 3 other sets of headphones from other companies for far less money that last only a few months each, I decided to spend some dollars and end the headaches. He loves these and the sound blows away the others. Expensive yes, but I have no time to deal with stuff the breaks so this was a good purchase for me. They're sturdy, sound great and very comfortable. Put a crowbar in your wallet , spend a little extra money and get one of the best headphones out there for XBox. In the long run it's worth it.

... pair of Astros and they are by far much better than Turtle Beach quality wise
These were my first pair of Astros and they are by far much better than Turtle Beach quality wise. That being said, there is nothing wrong with Turtle Beach headsets but these seem so much more sturdy and the mix amp is a lot nicer and user friendly than most TB voice/volume controls. The only thing I don't like about these is that there is virtually no voice monitoring. That is where TB does it right, I like being able to hear myself when I talk but it wasn't a deal breaker. Overall this is a very nice headset, I also use them as headphones around the house when I am not using them on xbox. *****Update****** 5/16/2017 These are still going strong almost a year later. You get use to not having a voice monitor which is why it wasn't a big deal. The big difference between these and the Turtle Beach is that the volume controls on the turtle beach wear out way to fast, making it hard to get the chat and game volume mixed right. But the Astro A40s really are a great headset and investment if you take care of them.

5 stelle meritatissime
Ho acquistato queste cuffie circa 3 mesi fa e devo dire che le 5 stelle se le merita tutte perché la qualità delle cuffie è ottima come lo sono anche i materiali utilizzati hanno un buon isolamento acustico e sono comode anche dopo 12 ore di gioco consecutivo.Gabriele5 stelle meritatissime

Il mixamp m80 è ottimo perché il comando per abbassare/alzare il volume del gioco/chat e disattivare/attivare il microfono stanno direttamente nel controller quindi non bisogna staccare le mani dal controller nemmeno per un secondo e di conseguenza rimanere sempre concentrati sul gioco.
Per quanto riguarda il servizio Amazon sono un po' deluso perché il prodotto è arrivato senza alcuna copertura quindi gli adesivi erano incollati nella parte anteriore della scatola in cui stavano le cuffie e il pacco è arrivato anche un po' sporco (nella foto avevo già rimosso gli adesivi e pulito il pacco), però c'è da dire che come sempre il prodotto è arrivato rispettando i tempi previsti da Amazon.
