1. Astro Gaming A40

Whilst the Astro A50 is a much newer headset, gamers around the world - both professional and amateur - swear by their A40s. For that reason, Astro has continued to support the older model, and has released an upgraded 2013 edition for those who have yet to jump on the bandwagon. The upgrades include improved surround sound accuracy and an updated MixAmp Pro that allows game-to-voice audio balancing, multiple equaliser presets and connections to link multiple Mixamp Pros for a private voice network. The Mixamp Pro also has a port to output your voice, making life incredibly easy for YouTubers and live streamers. If there was ever a time to get on board with one of the communities favourite headsets, it's now.

Price: £200 | Link: Astro Gaming | Compatibility: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC
