Developed by Kojima Productions, the Metal Gear series has captivated millions of gamers over the past twenty years. When MGS4 was released in 2008 it was hailed as the “most technically stunning video game ever made” – and the crew here at Astro Gaming couldn’t agree more. When presented with the opportunity of doing an MGS4 Edition of the A40 with our newly enhanced PS3-compatible USB Mixamp, we jumped at the chance.

If you haven’t played MGS4, you’re missing out. Go out and buy yourself a PS3, get a copy of MGS4 and play the game as it’s meant to be played – in full Dolby Digital Surround on your MGS4 Edition A40 Audio System.

Go forth and enjoy!

About the A40 Headset

The 2013 Astro A40 PC gaming headset is all you’re ever going to need or want to game in the highest sound and voice quality on your PC or notebook.  For years, the A40 has been the “gold standard” in gaming headphones.  We now have a headset specifically for those who prefer the click of a mouse rather than squeeze of a controller trigger. 

Capture all sounds the developers intended while speaking clearly through our precision mic.  Tuned with Astro Audio, the “gold standard” in gaming headphones is now available in a PC specific version.

New Media Cabling System – The Media Cable is has been optimized for PC, Notebook, and  Mobile gaming by putting the controls right at your fingertips. We've updated the Quick Disconnect system, with our new Media Cable that plugs directly into the headset via a 3.5mm 4-pole jack.  The Media Cable offers an in-line microphone, an in-line mute switch, a volume control wheel, and a call/pickup/tracking button.

**NOTE - The MixAmp™ or wireless MixAmp™ 5.8 MUST be purchased in order to use Xbox Live or PlayStation 3 online voice communication and enable 7.1 Dolby Surround in your A40 Headset. Please browse Audio Systems for MixAmp™ plus Headset bundles.**
