Technically curious

Astro headphones/mic are my favorite

If you are sensitive to noise, Astro headphones/mic are a pleasure to use.

What I like most about them is that because they have a docking station they are always charged and ready to go. It is a pleasure to use them. They sound great and no one in any meeting has ever complained that they couldn’t hear me.

In meetings when people sometimes don’t communicate clearly it is even more important to be able to hear clearly. I love the clarity and the fact that it never had an issue with working. The only time I have problems is when I mistakenly set it on the dock the wrong way and that has happened once out of the thousands of times I have used it. They have been outstanding.

Why am I sharing this with you? The tools that I use you may find useful as well. The only downside is that they are kind of pricey but the build quality is worth it. These will clearly last years when taken care of. Since they are gaming headsets games sound fantastic in them. You really get a sense of depth and surround sound that I have never experienced. Along with the MSI laptop I bought, gaming with these is taken to another level.

On a daily basis, I listen to music with them. I have heard things in songs that I know very well and that surprised me. I never had audiophile equipment and although I looked into buying something I just can’t justify the price. Don’t get me wrong. If money was no object I would have the best audio equipment money can buy. I would like to experience that. However, one downside as an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) is that when I have experienced high-end audio I felt sick. The vibrations gave me a headache and stomach and it wasn’t a fun experience.

However, with these headphones, I have never felt sick. If I maxed out the volume for longer periods I might, but I don’t need to do that experiment. I want to be able to hear when I’m older.
