Fantastic when paired with the best headset/headphones.

2026-03-05    -Rich

Absolutely fantastic. Granted the A40 headset isn't great - hence I'm using just the mixamp. But when paired with my Sennheiser G4me One, it is unbeatable!! Finally get audiophile grade sound on your Xbox and it works perfectly. Also loving the fact I don't have any cables going into my controller anymore.Any questions about the setup just ask. i also have tried with the Kingston Hyperx Cloud II, Sennheiser HD600, Bose AE2, Creative Auravana.Sennheiser GAME ONE, Open Acoustic gaming headset - black is the best option to give you the highest quality of audio for your Xbox One... granted there are better soundcards for the PC, such as the Creative Sound Blaster E5...

5.0 out of 5 stars First impressions are overrated.

I had the previous Astro a40 Mixamp coupled with Sennheiser p363D headset, and it was the best purchase I made. Only thing wrong with was static in the mic. Which I send it too astro to check the mic, they said nothing was wrong with it. They didnt fix anything and send my amp back. (honestly worse customer support I have dealt with). So I ended up trading it in for Mixamp Tr.I did a lot lot of research on this product and read a lot TRUE bad reviews. The reviews about muffled sound and echoing is VERY MUCH TRUE. Trust me the first thing i wanted to do was return the item. I really wanted to try to adapt but truly after few hours my patience just gave out. So some of you guys are wondering, why I gave this five stars. Trust me, I cant believe it either. The presets Astro tr comes with, like the previous astro mixamps, are TRULY atrocious. The good thing about this mixamp is that you can change the EQ presets by using the Astro command center software. This is something the old astro mixamps could not do. So after few hours of digging on Astro forums, I came across BeastMOde 1.0/ Beastmode 2.0 eq settings created by "XPCT." I currently use beastmode 1.0, and I changed the last two frequency from 3001 to 5000, 7001 to 10000, which was suggest by XPCT. I love the mixamp now.So at the moment I still like the product, the sound (7.1 Dolby turned on), The mic (talking on xbox live is great once again because no one complains anymore). I do want to update later on about whether i kept the product or i returned it. I will update in about 2-3 weeks from 5/3/16.Would I buy it again?Mostly likely not due to the fact that Astro has the WORSE customer support I have dealt with. Especially for a product that cost $130. IF you can find it under $100 definitely worth it.For those who want stereo sound, I would strongly suggest looking into another product. The primary purpose of mixamp TR is to give you a simulated or virtual 7.1 surround sound feeling. I play Halo 5 only, and I can tell you now I'm able to hear where the gunshots, grenades expolsions, and footsteps are coming from.BTW, I came from years of using Turtle beach headsets/amps, which are very poor compared to astro mixamp/sennheiser p363d headset.Update : 5/10/2015- I still like it and have no plans on returning it. works as long as you utilize the custom eq settings. I only use it for xbox one. I had the previous mixamp 2013.

Works well

Got this to supplement my Xbox One X. Easy to install. Works very well. Drives most headphones. Good build quality. Doesn't slide all over the desk as long as you have a long enough cord to your headphones. Expensive however boasted the sound enough that it was well worth it in my opinion.

Great little bit of kit

2026-02-14    -Graham

Great little bit of kit, Have used Astros for 5 years and the mixamp is definetly worth the money.The intergration with Xbox one is really nice as the Xbox picks it up as a Headset device just from the USB (rather than having to have a cable to the controller).Note: If you are buying this for a console, White is for Xbox One, Black is for PS4. They aren't cross compatible.

Better than what I had

2026-02-10    -E.Allan

Condition is good and bad. Not overly scratched, buttons don't stick and nobs feel good....Plastic housing around the power plug in port is cracked, so if the mixamp gets nudged/moved, the mixamp turns off. My mixamp had the same issue but was worse.Charging $80 for this, with an issue they definitely knew it had, is pretty dishonest.It's functional, but it's is now fragile and will shut off accidentally, periodically.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible for couch gaming

2025-12-22    -MH

Pros:- Turns normal headsets into virtual surround sound- Allows you to customize settings to enhance sounds the way you want (e.g. footsteps in an FPS game)Cons:- Unless you buy a long extension aux cord, you'll have to connect this to your console and have 2 wires go all the way up to where you're playing. Awful for couch gaming. Then, even if you do buy an aux cord, adjusting volume in-game is terrible as you have to get up and play with the mixamp.- Some mixamps are faulty and sound very 'tinny'. Makes them unusable.- Mic Monitoring is god awful. You can barely hear yourself unless your mic is inside your mouth.- With the Xbox One on instant-on mode, in order to get the mic to work after you turn your Xbox One on you need to physically reset the power on this. This, however, is seemingly an Xbox One issue but wireless headsets do not have this issue.- Astro support is really bad. They refuse to recognize and/or fix problems after release.I purchased this because it was supposed to be a premium product. While my 2nd mixamp did provide great sound, the lack of couch-play adjustability and terrible mic monitoring made this a hassle to use. I would only recommend this product if you play next to your console/PC - as in you sit at a desk and play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooooo MUCH BETTER than the Turtle Beach - Elite Pro Tactical Audio Controller

2026-03-04    -Josue Rodriguez

This mixamp just sounds amazing! I originally purchased the Turtle Beach Elite Pro TAC and it ended up sounding like complete garbage on Xbox One. There was way too much echo and sounded like you were in a tin hallway. The Astro MixAmp on the other hand truly enhances your game's sound. The surround sound is fantastic for single player action games like Titanfall 2 and Gears of War 4. When playing a competitive FPS like Rainbow Six Siege, I prefer to play using the tournament preset with surround sound off. You can literally hear every footstep coming your way. The sound is loud (if desired) and very full. The bass is great, the mids are clean, and the highs are not too bright. It really enhances your gaming experience. I am very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it. You can even customize your own presets using the PC/Mac app if desired.

La photo est trompeuse

le produit correspond bien au nom attribué mais les photos sont trompeuses puisqu'il s'agit de photos de la Gen 4 et non la Gen 3 mais heureusement la Gen 3 a fonctionné avec ma Xbox série S.
