This wired headset works perfectly with both the Xbox Series X and Series S. It even works with the Xbox One, so you can use it on your old console while you wait for your new one. It also works on PC and Mac. This Astro A40 TR deal’s most unique feature is the accompanying mixer. Plug your headset into this mixer lets you adjust your master volume and how loud your voice is compared to the in-game sound. If you’re a streamer, this is essential. You don’t want your voice to get covered up by every gun fired in Call of Duty. You can use the accompanying software for even more sound customization options.

This is a comfy headset, perfect for marathoning games or hosting long streaming sessions. The ear cups are well-padded and adjustable, moving up and down and also pivoting. They’re fully ready for tournament play. Optional speaker tags will dampen noise bleed, so the player next to you can’t hear your team’s callouts. You can even swap the microphone to either side. The high-quality sound will give you an edge over players using cheap gaming headsets. Astro Gaming has previously made our list of best gaming headsets of 2020.

Why doesn’t DDR5 memory always perform the way you expect?
Electronics, Hardware, Computer Hardware

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with ASUS.

DDR5 memory doesn't always perform the way you'd expect because so much of its behavior is shaped by the platform it's running on, not the memory kit alone. A motherboard is one of the few PC components that continues to influence your system long after you've finished building it. Even after you've chosen your processor, graphics card, and memory, it continues to shape which upgrades are possible, how well new hardware behaves, and whether your PC evolves gracefully or starts showing its age before the rest of the system does.
