ASTRO A40 TR Mod Kit Call of Duty - Noise Cancelling Conversion

In this review of the ASTRO A40 TR Mod Kit for Call of Duty, the bottom line is simple: it is for competitive players and loud-environment gamers who need focused team chat and a closed-back, noise-isolating setup. The Mod Kit converts the A40 TR headset into a sealed, noise-rejecting unit with synthetic leather ear cushions and a padded headband, and its voice isolating mic helps cut background noise for clearer calls. For anyone who already owns an A40 TR and spends time in tournaments, shared spaces, or noisy households, this kit delivers a clear functional improvement.

Key Features

• Noise Cancelling Ear Cushions: Sealed synthetic leather cushions reduce ambient noise and improve perceived bass and clarity during gameplay.
• Voice Isolating Mic: The microphone focuses on the users voice and rejects background sounds for more reliable team communication.
• Padded Headband: A soft synthetic leather headband provides comfortable long wear without the sticky feel that comes from some materials.
• Closed Back Speaker Tags: Sealed Speaker Tags convert the A40 TR to a closed-back configuration to isolate sound and reduce stage leakage.
• Official Call of Duty Equipment: The kit is produced as the official Call of Duty Mod Kit for A40 TR, matching pro tournament setups and looks.

Who It's For

The Mod Kit is ideal for A40 TR owners who compete in tournaments, stream from busy rooms, or simply want a more isolated listening experience. It benefits players who need clearer voice comms and a tighter low end without changing the headset core.

It is not for people who do not already own an A40 TR headset, as the kit is only compatible with that model. Casual users who prefer open-back soundstage or who need the absolute best microphone fidelity may prefer alternative solutions.

Pros & Cons
