That one wire plugged into the one controller you're using and into the one headset you're using and doesn't interfere with you whatsoever while playing??

TRASH

What? I thought this was the same as the Xbox Chat Adapter just Astro's version?

There's a wire that attaches to it?

I pictured it literally being the same as the Chat Adapter in my controller just upgrading lol

its just like the MS one... u plug the puck into the controller and a wire attaches to the puck and into the headset.

 I'm not sure if the comment on the wire was a knock on it, but I don't perceive it as something that bothers me or gets in my way. It fits into the controller just like the chatpad and there's a wire going to the headset. It's fine with me

 

what he said

dont get in the way at all, might make the controller a bit more heavier but not something that will get in the way

Woah. Do you think the cable would work with my older A40? Or?

Just the mixamp is $60 I think on their website and that's what I was planning on doing. But I'm not sure if the cable coming from the M80 would be compatible with my older version. Don't know if they've changed anything.

Basically, does the M8 have a 3mm connector on it?

 

[djyoung08]

i was being sarcastic about the wire...

I have and live by astros...

one cable that goes from the controller to the headset is amazing.

With the xbox 360, headsets required so much effort

Gotcha! I hated my Turtle Beach set up with the 360; I had wires going everywhere :x

This is truth.

Cord from my Xbox to the mixamp. Cord from mix amp to controller. Cord from mix amp to headset. Power cord from Mixamp to Xbox.

Worth every cord tho.

Hmm, the website says it works with the A40s and doesn't mention any qualifiers in regards to older models. You should be good.

Make your favorite ASTRO A40 or A30 headset (excluding Quick-Disconnect / QD model) compatible with your Xbox One with the MixAmp[emoji]8482[/emoji] M80. Whether combined with an A40 or an A30, the MixAmp[emoji]8482[/emoji] M80 gives you the best on-controller audio experience available. Three preset EQ modes, active Mute, and Game:Voice Balance controls give you ultimate control over Amplified Stereo audio. The intuitive design allows you to easily adjust your audio preferences without taking your eyes off the screen--so your killstreak goes uninterrupted. Seamless Xbox One integration and precision audio done the ASTRO way.

*Does not work with the A50 or any non-ASTRO headset; the M80 is only compatible with the ASTRO A40 and A30. For A50 compatibility with the Xbox One, see the AG1 cable.

This is my current set-up still with the addition to cord from my PC into the mix amp so i can have audio feed from my xbox AND my PC.

My setup is at a desk though and all my stuff is wired and cable managed.

What's the Kinect sitting on

 

[xxpizzo]

 

 

set up is fire you ever think about putting more posters up behind it ? 

 

[antidope]

My headset was 40$, iIget game and chat audio, and the directional audio is good enough to tell me where the shots are coming from/other noise. It's wired but Idc about that at all.

MAN I CAN'T DO WIRED AT ALL. I SIT WAY ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM FROM MY PLASMA. MY DOG IS GONNA HAVE A FIELD DAY ON THAT WIRE FOR SURE. PLUS I CONSISTENTLY GET UP AND HIT THE FRIDGE, WALK AROUND, ETC. WITH MY WIRELESS CONTROLLER. WOULD LIKE THAT SAME FREEDOM WITH MY HEADSET.

GONNA GO TAKE A LOOK ONLINE AT SOME ASTROS AND SEE WHAT I COME UP WITH.

It actually gets all its power from the controller, doesn't go into the console at all.

I'll have to pick one up. Thank you sir

 

[memphissfinest]

wait the a50s you still need the cord?! I thought they were wireless those are the ones I want

YEA FOR CHATTING. APPARENTLY IT ISN'T COMPLETELY 100% WIRELESS LIKE THE TURTLE BEACH.

WITH THAT SAID, I THINK I'M GOING WITH THE TURTLE BEACH 800X. GONNA HEAD OVER TO BEST BUY WHEN I GET OFF WORK.

Post your review once you use them. I was tempted to get them but everyone swore by ASTRO and I don't anybody who got the 800 series.

If you can, stop by a Gamestop and see if they have the 800x hanging on the wall to "test out". Just see if it's comfortable enough to game with all day. You won't want them tight on your head but you don't want em loose, either.

That was the MAIN difference besides quality and sound quality for me between the two brands. Astros I can literally wear all day if I wanted and not have any issues at all, where Turtle Beaches eventually I'd get uncomfortable wearing and take em off.

I'm Astro for Life tho, but I really do recommend trying the 800x on first.

never though i'd see the day that turtle beaches could be priced the same as astros AND get picked over astros

the selling point of the TB (wireless mic) is what is complained about most on the reviews.

Memph, if you're worried about the mic quality on the 800X, TB put out a patch for them. I've been using them for the past three weeks and they're dope. Just plug the headset and base up to your computer to update the firmware on both. Everything you need is on the TB website. There are a few options to improve the level of your mic too. The headset has various presets to adjust the microphone level. Loud room, quiet room, etc. You can also turn off the mic monitoring and noise cancellation, which also help improve your voice quality.

I was in the same boat as you a few weeks ago. I was going to get the A50s until I realized you still had to use a chat cable, even with the Xbox One redesigned model. That was a deal breaker for me so I chose the 800X.

YOU SEALED THE DEAL GOOD SIR.

HEADING TO COP NOW
