Beautiful headset that brings me right back to the good old days.
I played for the last 8 hours today on this headset and I am blown away. This is the BEST headset I have ever used.
I used the old A40’s for over 10 years. They were a beast of a headset and put me ahead of the competition for years. The only problem was that it was wired. The cord would frey over time and eventually screwed up the mixamp after too many rage induced drops.
I decided to get the audio sync only as I have little to no desire to pull up the video at the same time as the audio every time. I tend to play the devices one at a time with no need to switch my HDMI along with it. If needed I can switch it by hand.
The headset charged very quickly and was easy to understand out of the box. Watching a YouTube video on the set up might help if you have any questions.

Very good headset with only a couple minor flaws.
First of all the comfortably, style and sound of this headset is great. The ability to switch between output from the headset itself is also game changer for anyone that goes between PS5/Xbox/PC. Bluetooth connectivity is good. The only real gripes I have about it is 1. The volume button placement. If you wear a lot of hoods or collared shirts, you’ll find yourself accidentally turning the headset down CONSTANTLY or you’ll hear it beep frequently indicating you’re trying to turn it up when it’s at full volume. This is pretty annoying, I wish they would have moved the volume wheel to the back side of the left ear to avoid this issue, but it’s whatever. The only other thing is that it automatically mutes your voice in games/discord when you get a phone call. This might be a plus for some people, for me it’s a little annoying since I’ll answer the phone and suddenly go silent on my teammates. Maybe there’s a way to disable this feature, if so I haven’t figured it out, lol. Overall I’m pretty satisfied, I had the PS Pro Elite headset and it lasted less than 4 months before it broke right above the ear piece, the build quality of this headset is much nicer and more durable. Pretty pricey but honestly worth it if it lasts more than a year or two.

The last one you need for the multi device gaming setup
Look no further if you, like me, needed a wireless pair of headphones for gaming across PC and console (Xbox, PlayStation, Switch). This device makes it effortless to switch between them all, and even still pair a phone or other device via Bluetooth at the same time.
Functionality is fantastic! Fit is just like the pair of Astros you already have. Battery life is fantastic, and makes the value of the headset really shine. These are comfy, designed well for ease of use, and all the other things you want from a headphone.
Last but not least, the sound is top notch. You get hires audio on PC, and great lossless audio on console. The kicker is the automatic Dolby Atmos and the partnership with better integration via Microsoft devices.
The new G hub integration gives just a touch more control than the older Astro Command Center. Community EQ profiles are great addition!
