| lol beans.. dont make any purchases until ive spoken to them. Im going to get discount for us and also some branding for our website. Not proper sponsorship as we dont play lan tournaments but it would be nice to have us affiliated with the style of astro gaming for sure  _________________  |

how r u so sure they'll agree? but yes that would be superb! im getting them in October, a couple of weeks before black ops so i'll get used to them hopefully. then me and andy intend to start a gamebattles team, which i'll post more about in the future. u need headsets for gb cos so many people on there have em and u can hear ninja pro with them. |

| very good comprehensive review. will defo get 1. even the box is sexy.  better bass, audio range and price than the A40's and they still look amazing. he says the only thing thats worse is the mic and as you can its still here brilliantly (and at the end of the day, as long as you can still be heard clearly, does it really matter?) |

| Yeah a good head set like that is well worth it just so you can be a sound whore, you’ll really notice it when people are walking on non-metal things that don’t make much noise like grass, got my turtle bitches for £5 after trading in some stuff and using a gift card. 2nd best thing I’ve bought for the PS3
If I was looking at new ones I might go with the ones that have a gap to let the air flow cool your ear, during late night session destroying fools my ears get really warm and start to annoy me, so I play with one ear covered and one not for a while. It sounds stupid but if your spending that sort of money then your better getting something you can were all day with out it annoying you

| John I doubt very much that the lower priced headset has a better audio range. The General rule for headphones is that the more you pay the better the components and audio fidelity. I'm an audiophile I doubt headphones will ever replace my surround system though. Headphone 5.1 can't possibly be better than the real thing. _________________ |

watch the video. also, look on the official site. A40: 15-28kHz A30: 14-28kHz thats an extra 1kHz at the bottom end. |

| So it must just be the components. Can think of any other reason why they would be £100 more. Ps I might these today  _________________ |

| Well I like the a30s for a number of reason really. Mainly because I would like to wear them while listening to music on my iPhone on th streets. The a40s are a bit big for that. _________________ |

| Would love to get the A30's, something small and portable, definitely considering a proper headset.
Thanks for the vid John! |
