The result of a deep collaboration between ASTRO, 343 Studios and Xbox, the A40 headset and MixAmp M80 feature colors, materials and finishes that match the Halo 5 Xbox One console and controller. In online team-based games, no game can be won without proper communication. One of the first things you are going to notice is that most of the online games do have a built in feature that allows users to chat by using their microphones, in order to successfully build their strategies and update each other on new events.
It is almost considered mandatory for players who enjoy such games to have a headset, but even more than that it is important for the headset to provide superior microphone quality and still have great sound to offer.

- Optimized for gaming thanks to the ASTRO technology

This is an amazing accessory to consider if you have a Halo 5 Xbox One, since the design is literally made to match and generally does look appealing. Although you can’t really separate the volume of the chat and general in game audio, the mixer allows you to easily choose your most preferred settings, and the EQ presets make it easier to optimize your audio experience towards your current activity. Since it is available for a limited time only, if you want this bad boy, you are going to have to hurry up.
