![]() Luckily (and just in time for this review), ASTRO has since addressed this problem with their mid-August firmware update, and I can say that it has fixed any and all issues that I was experiencing prior to the update, with some added extras. I, too, experienced this during my first week of use. You bastards, I envy all of you.īefore I received a unit for review, other reviewers had reported issues with the headset pairing incorrectly to the mixamp, reporting issues of dropping sound.
