![]() ![]() I preferred to leave it on the Astro mode (the default), but the Bass boost mode was nice when the stadium was rocking in Madden NFL 16. That cord is then run to the MixAmp, which controls game volume, voice-to-game ratio for streaming, and comes with equalizer presets for consoles (on PC, you can use Astro's built-in tools to craft your own EQ or copy someone else's mix online). Rather than connecting through the headphone jack on the PlayStation 4 controller, the A40 TRs offer Dolby 5.1 and 7.1 surround through the digital optical port in the back of the console. Modded or not, that sound that comes through is vastly superior to any headset I've used previously. I didn't test these in a raucous tournament setting, but there is a slight drop in the amount of ambient noise and chatter you can hear from those outside your little game world when you've got the headsets modded out with the noise-cancelling additions. ![]() In a quiet home at night, there's hardly any discernible difference to the sound output of the out-of-the-box A40 TRs and the modded version. The open back speaker tags (the outer shell of the earphone) prevent this standard model from being completely noise-cancelling, but with the mod kit, you can closed back tags and leather cushions to make that adjustment. They're comfortable and don't feel like they're applying too much pressure to the temple, which is sometimes a problem for me with headphones since I wear glasses. The default A40 TR headset comes with cloth ear cushions, which cup around your ear completely.
