Our take on the Astro A40 TR
The Astro A40 TR is a closed-back gaming headset with a swappable boom mic, suited to streamers who want a headset for PS4 and PC. The mic can sit on either side.
The mic is uni-directional, which helps it pick your voice over the room. Ear cushions are synthetic leather and noise cancelling, and a padded headband spreads the weight. Magnetic Speaker Tags let you personalize the look. Impedance is 48 ohm. Retailers rate it 4.4 across 3,661 ratings. That matters on stream because a mic that stays off to one side keeps the boom out of your face cam.

Where it fits in a build
Monitor your audio. Closed-back headphones (no mic) are the pro pick if you mic separately; a headset adds a mic for comms or casual use. See every headphones / headset pick
