Astro A40 Headset Black
Ordered: Astro A40 Audio System
I found that Dell.com has the best price for the Astro A40. I opted for the A40 instead of the new smaller A30 because I like the over ear style headphones, and from Dell they cost about the same.
To justify the price:
- I just got my tax return and I plan to save the rest of it.
- I was thinking about getting an extra $109 1.5 TB hard drive (that I don’t really need).
- I needed a new Xbox 360 headset anyway (at least $30 for a good one).
- I have a large backlog of games I need to play, so with some restraint I won’t be buying any other games for at least a month.
- Playing Borderlands co-op with my friends. Voice chat + 5.1 sound.
- I’ve been doing lots of PC gaming with headphones on. Upgrade!
Update: A few more justifications for my buying expensive headphones.
- It’s like 4+ headsets in 1; supports PC/Mac, 360, PS3 etc. It would get pricy if I needed different headsets for each.
- I can enjoy 5.1 sound in games without inflicting it on my neighbors or girlfriend.
- I have a thing for headphones, I find myself looking at them in stores when I don’t even need or want any.
Astro A40 Audio System - I really want this $250 gaming headset/amp. 5.1 Dolby and Dolby Surround Headphone, full voice chat support across Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. I think I may save-up and invest in a set.
