@@gamegeartv8167 I actually bought this headset to just try it out and ended up keeping it lol! When i plug the LS35X into the mixamp all i get is static. I dont think the sound is as rich as the ls35x but i did end up getting so use to it after weeks of use that i no longer use the ls35x =/. I do suffer from the same issues you had where i have to switch the button from pc back to xbox everytime i turn on my xbox so i can use the mic. Also the lights on the mixamp never power off. I read on a reddit post that Astro is aware of the switch from pc to xbox to get the mic to work issue and a representative said they did it on purpose. I love this headset though, i just think for the price i paid the sound should be a little richer but like i said im use to it now.

Yeah, they should have put a mute switch on the mix amp, and an on/off button as well for that matter. With the xbox one, the usb ports are always on in standby mode. So the mix amp always stays on and is lit up. I personally don't like to have to unplug it every time since I feel it puts unnecessary wear on the usb connectors (whether unplugging the port on the mix amp itself, or unplugging it from the xbox) Also, the quality of the mic sucks, all my friends complain about it and don't like it. It gets loud and soft randomly and everybody says I sound far away with lots of bass. However, I like the mix amp with the control center app, but the headset audio quality itself is just good, nothing special. Also, I have the same issue with my mix amp, it doesn't recognize my mic each time i turn it on. I have to unplug and replug it in to power cycle mine as well. Shouldn't be that way. Don't they test these things before they start selling them? C'mon Astro!

What's hilarious is that they don't even give you an inline mute cable to go from the headset to the mixamp when you order the new Mixamp Pro. They make you buy the cable that is necessary to use the headset with the mixamp. And on amazon they're price gouging it for $28 when it's an $8 cable. I originally got the A40 with the Mixamp M80 and upgraded to the mixamp pro. With the M80 and headset combo they give you a cable that will work(no mute button, just a straight cable) but it's like 2.5ft so I am literally putting the mixamp in my chair just to use all of this. I imagine the $8+ shipping will be super slow compared to amazon prime shipping so this sucks. Also, this headset is not comfortable at all compared to my old Sennheiser HD558's and it's way heavier. But I needed a headset so I have a microphone for games since my old(but superior) HD558's are just headphones. And I figured since I play CoD I could use the mixamp anyways to get great surround sound. Hopefully they last as long as my Sennheisers.

Since I am slow at getting videos out lately, I will give you my thoughts specific to that setup. As far as the Dolby surround is concerned it makes the soundstage feel massive with the open back. The Mixamp makes the Game One's microphone very sensitive to breathing and background noise and adds a bit too much processing to it. So disappointing in that department. As far as sound is concerned, it is good and allows you to add some bass to the Game One's very flat signature, but it has added some muddiness to it. I have not played around a lot with the EQ with the Game One, but with the out of the box settings, I would call it a wash. It does not really improve the sound quality but gives some customization options. When I have time I will play with the EQ more and see if I can really make it shine.

I definitely like the Gen 4 mixamp over the three. If you like Astros the systems good performer. If you don't mind splitting up the system consider getting the Mixamp and a different headset.

I'm still doing some tests for microphone quality. Sound wise the Sennheiser GameOne is always a solid choice. I'll update soon with tests with some other headsets. Audio Technica recently came out with a new gaming headset that I would like to try.

The star is pass through. So it can be used for straight stereo, atmos or windows sonic. The other emblem is for Dolby surround, which is different than atmos

GameGear TV so should I be using the star? I seen in your video you have a complaint on not being able to turn it off. I’m not very smart on this tech stuff I’m an old man but your video was very informative. I’m just trying to have the best directional sound possible on my new headset. Thanks
@gamegeartv8167

It depends on what your doing. For big open world story games I like the Dolby surround (headset icon) because it makes everything feel bigger. For competitive shooters I like to use the star with atmos for positional cues. I’m glad the video has been helpful!

I restarted Xbox and I don’t know if this made any difference but before the Xbox came back on I put the mixer in pc mode and didn’t connect my controller until the dashboard loaded up. When the dash board loaded I switched it to Xbox mode and then connected the controller.

I think the performance is better than last Gen. Has a few issues though, obviously. I think audio and mic performance is better than the 9x also. But 9x has wireless good was and is more comfortable to me.

I've been using the A40 more. It sounds a bit better and the microphone is better at cancelling out other noise which is helpful since I play in the same room as my wife. I think it's a little over priced for what the headset itself gives you. I think I would pick up a game one or elite pro and a separate mixamp. Cheaper and as good or better.
