As Dead Space 3 thrusts us back into the world of space terror and spindly necromorphs, we figured we might as well look good while facing death on no certain terms. So here, we bring you the Dead Space 3 edition A40 Headset.

The 2013 Astro A40 PC gaming headset is all you’re ever going to need or want to game in the highest sound and voice quality on your PC or notebook.  For years, the A40 has been the “gold standard” in gaming headphones.  We now have a headset specifically for those who prefer the click of a mouse rather than squeeze of a controller trigger. 

Capture all sounds the developers intended while speaking clearly through our precision mic.  Tuned with Astro Audio, the “gold standard” in gaming headphones is now available in a PC specific version.

New Media Cabling System – The Media Cable has been optimized for PC, Notebook, and  Mobile gaming by putting the controls right at your fingertips. We've updated the Quick Disconnect system, with our new Media Cable that plugs directly into the headset via a 3.5mm 4-pole jack.  The Media Cable offers an in-line microphone, an in-line mute switch, a volume control wheel, and a call/pickup/tracking button.

**NOTE - The MixAmp™ or wireless MixAmp™ 5.8 MUST be purchased in order to use Xbox Live or PlayStation 3 online voice communication and enable 7.1 Dolby Surround in your A40 Headset. Please browse Audio Systems for MixAmp™ plus Headset bundles.**

    These things sound glorious. It wasn't until I was forced to take them off so that other people in the room could participate in the listening experience via my antiquated receiver and surround sound set up that I realized how meaty the A40 Audio System was. You certainly don't need to be a professional to partake in the sweet sounds of the A40.

    The Astros were like headset porn, all wrapped up in strippers and bacon. Had to have them. Fortunately, they deliver. From the first moment you see the frickin boxes, you'll be smitten.

    Inside and out, Astro Gaming's A40 Audio System is the best designed and packaged consumer electronics product I've used in half a decade... I frequently used the A40 when there was no reason, when I wasn't at the moment putting it through my critic's paces, and there was no call for private listening, just because it's that good.
