I'll keep it simple and to the point... Aesthetically: they look much better in person than in any picture. Microphone: better quality, easier at getting your voice and eliminating background noise. It's one inch longer than the stock mic so it lands closer to the front of your mouth. It's also heavier so if you tend to move your head a lot it might need to be adjusted at times. Ear cups & headband: very plush and comfortable. Do a great job at isolating the outside noise which should help with immersion. On the same note, others around you should be happier as they also diminish game audio from leaking outside of your headset. However, they make the headset feel heavier, somewhat more compressed and because they are leather they can get a little hot around the ear but they are still comfortable and should be able to wear for hours. Headband is comfortable but a bit of a pain to swap out. Speaker plates: They're held with magnets (like the original A40's) so they're very easy to swap. Audio quality won't change but they really do change the feel of the audio. So this depends on what you prefer, "open back" (audio will feel like it has more distance/space to distribute in) or "closed back" (audio will feel more closed in. more in your head so to speak)

Not really an "upgrade", but a side-grade. The Astro A40 TR's ship with open earpads and earplates. This basically means you can hear your IRL surroundings almost like you're not wearing headphones at all. That may seem undesirable at first, but there are positives to that design. Far less ear fatigue with air reaching your ears regularly, and a more open sound stage give you a bit better depth to measuring enemy distances. This comes at the expensive of less bass and the possibility of background noise like city traffic interrupting your immersion. These faux leather eapads that come with the Mod Kit, as well as the headphone plate do an exceptional job of sealing the headphone to my ears. I can actually feel the air pressure as I put on the headphones. It strongly muffles passive sounds, like traffic, running water, or a fan. You will have trouble hearing family, wives and anyone else who demands your attention. Depending on your situation, that may or may not be a good thing ;). Because of the air seal, low frequency sounds are much more prominent and your EQ presets may need to be adjusted to avoid too much boomy bass. There are negatives to the pads as well. They cause ear fatigue, as they get warm after an hour of play. And I have more noticeable trouble interpreting distance of sounds, even with Dolby Surround Sound enabled. In short, make a preset with less bass for the these pads, and have a preset with more bass for your original pads. Don't throw your old pads, mic out. Keep them stored away because these are situational accessories. Astro's magnet locks for their earpads and plate are excellent, and switching out these accessories is super easy (the headband cushion is a little tougher, take your time). This is a pricey accessory, but you will not be disappointed with how well it drowns out the world and puts you in the game completely.

I am in a pretty noisy house, and I absolutely love having the modded headset to give me a bubble of quiet to enjoy whatever I am playing or listening to in. I sometimes put them on even if I don't have anything playing just for the silence. Compared to the standard headset, my ears were a little warmer but not enough to bother me. The ear-pads are definitely more comfortable, and I really think the head-pad should be standard because it is so needed (imo). The longer mic is nice and bendy, so you can really find any position you need. It is a little heavier and sags a bit, but it didn't bother me once I got used to it. The best part, of course, is that each part is very easy to remove/replace, especially the magnetic ear plates/pads. You can keep the plates for the sound dampening, use the standard pads if your ears get warm, or the standard mic if its too awkward with the longer one - whatever floats your boat! The only con for me is the price tag. I picked the mod kit up shortly after I got my headset, so it was a slap in the sack.

Habe mir das Mod Kit zugelegt, da ich an meinem Astro a40TR die Standard Schaumstoff Ohrmuscheln dran waren. Habe es lieber in Leder. Da ich auch begeisterter CallofDuty Anhänger bin, kam mir das BO3 Mod Kit genau recht. Habe das Gefühl das der Klang noch ein wenig intensiver ist, da durch die seitendeckel und Lederabschirmung weniger bis keine außengeräusche zu hören sind. Ist dann Geschmacksache. Einziges Manko!!!!!! Das Mikro ist total leicht gängig und behält kaum eine eingestellte Position ein. Werde es noch bei Astro reklamieren, mal sehen was passiert. Ansonsten, echt klasse Verarbeitung und fabelhafter Sitz am Kopf! Klare Kauf Empfehlung

Perfecto para dar un aire nuevo a nuestros auriculares y modifican varios aspectos Con las nuevas orejeras, te aislan mucho mas del exterior, asi que si buscas escuchar SOLO el juego o musica, son perfectas La zona de arriba sujeta algo mas la cabeza, y el tacto es de cuero y La ultima novedad, es el micro, es mas largo q el normal y con cancelacion de ruido

Ottimo kit da aggiungere alle cuffie se vuoi rendere le cuffie "closed back". Il microfono è infinitamente migliore, ma è un po' più pesantuccio. Quindi una volta attaccato, se muovi la testa frequentemente tende a scivolare verso il basso... In sintesi do 5 stelle al modkit perché la qualità è davvero stupenda, l'isolamento acustico funziona alla perfezione (il microfono deve essere attaccato per isolare al 100% la cuffia, se no resta un buco aperto) e la cuffia resta comodissima come sempre.

For functionality, style, and comfort, it is far better than I expected. The mod kit fixes the two issues I had with the headset: 1) noise cancelling and 2) comfort. The default kit hurt the top of my head, and outside noise would interfere with hearing audio queues in games. Obviously, it's not perfect, but it is a HUGE improvement. I was on the fence for a long time, but I'm so glad I pulled the trigger.

for 59.99 that is a lot for a mic 3 pads and 2 cpus but after changing them over they block out all unwonted noise as well as look call the leather cpus don't even make my ears sweet that was nice but the best part is the mic others said it sounds so much clearer and better then the one that comes with the headset all in all worth it as easy to come off and clean as well
