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 Audio System. ASTRO's updated headphone specs and user-controlled equalization modes on the updated MixAmp Pro gives you the kind of auditory precision that can makes palms sweat. Maybe just a little bit. No big deal.

    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.

    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.
