Follow up – Astro A40′s
Well it’s been about 4 months since my loving girlfriend bought me a set of the Astro A40′s and Mix up for Christmas or whatever holiday you call it. I think it’s time for a follow up since my review. These beauties sound amazing, it’s as simple as that. With my girlfriend in her final year of university there was a lot of studying going on, a lot of papers being written and not wanting to sacrifice all the amazing titles that have come out in the last 4 months the A40′s have earned every penny of the $249.99 price tag however there are a few complaints for home use I have that I would like to see fixed for a future enhancement.
My sofa is about 5 feet away from my home entertainment console so I have 2-3 cables spanning across my living room floor onto my sofa so I can control the mix amp. So I could spend an extra 20 bucks and buy the re-chargeable battery for the mixamp to eliminate 1 wire. Great I still have 2 wires for sound from my Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Great, super annoying. I don’t really need to control the sound of every game every minute.
Another issue I’m having is trying to figure out how to get all my audio sources into a receiver and than have the output into the mixamp. So Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 sound into a receiver via optical in using optical out into the mixamp. Great it sounds easy on paper but I just can’t seem to figure what components to buy. If you have ideas, send them my way.
Other than my small personal annoyances, I love them.
