Video reviews we found, each condensed to its verdict. They do feed the HearWiki score, at a measured weight below what a published written review carries.
Reviewers agree the ASTRO A40 Gen 4 is a comfortable headset with solid sound and improved cord management, but they differ on its value: most see it as a modest upgrade over the Gen 3, with one calling it a significant improvement while another finds it not worth the premium price.
10:22The reviewer finds the Astro A40 Gen 4 a solid headset with good comfort and sound, but notes it's not a necessary upgrade for Gen 3 owners. The main improvements are cord management and a better mute switch, while the chat/game volume balance is less precise than the Gen 3. The mic quality is comparable, and the reviewer recommends it only if you have extra money or are new to the product.
12:29The reviewer finds the Astro A40 TR Gen 4 a significant improvement over the Gen 3, with better comfort and stable performance, but concludes it still falls short of its premium price due to an underpowered Mix Amp, average audio quality, and weak stereo imaging. While it works fine for gaming, it doesn't compete with cleaner setups, making it only worth it secondhand.
