Smays Replacement Mic for Astro A40 A40 TR Gaming Headset

Smays replacement microphone is a detachable, flexible boom mic designed to restore clear voice pickup for Astro A40 and A40 TR gaming headsets.

If your Astro A40 or A40 TR lost its mic or the original boom failed, this Smays replacement gives you a ready-to-install spare that matches the original form factor and connection. It includes a 3.5mm TR two-conductor gold-plated plug, a removable foam windscreen, and a 5.9-inch (15 cm) bendable boom so you can position the capsule where it's most comfortable. The unit is built for quick attachment and everyday gaming, streaming, or voice chat.

How easy is it to install on my Astro A40 or A40 TR?

Installation is straightforward: the Smays mic uses the same 3.5mm TR connection standard as the original Astro boom, so it plugs directly into the headset jack without adapters. The flexible boom can be bent to the ideal position and stays put during use.

• Direct 3.5mm TR two-conductor gold-plated plug for reliable contact
• Plug-and-play design—no wiring or soldering needed
• Flexible 15 cm boom for easy positioning
• Includes removable foam windscreen to reduce breath noise

What kind of voice pickup and noise control does it offer?

The microphone element is described as omnidirectional with built-in noise reduction and high sensitivity, which helps capture clear speech in typical gaming and chat environments. While not a studio mic, it improves in-game voice clarity compared with damaged or missing stock mics.

• Omnidirectional capsule for consistent pickup across speaking angles
• Built-in noise-cancelling features to minimize background noise
• High-sensitivity element for clear voice transmission at low speaking volumes
• Foam pop filter included to reduce plosives and wind noise

Is the boom durable and adjustable for long gaming sessions?

The Smays boom is designed to be both flexible and stable: you can bend it to the preferred angle and it will hold that shape through regular movement. The construction aims to balance pliability with enough stiffness to avoid drooping during play.

• Flexible yet stable boom length of 15 centimeters (5.9 inches)
• Bendable shaft retains position for consistent mic placement
• Lightweight build to avoid pulling on the headset frame
• Quick-detach plug for simple removal when not needed

What’s included and what should I check before buying?

The package contains one Smays A40-compatible microphone and one removable foam windscreen. Before purchasing, verify your headset uses the Astro A40/A40 TR microphone jack and that your setup accepts a 3.5mm TR two-conductor connection.

• 1 x Smays A40 microphone with gold-plated 3.5mm TR plug
• 1 x black foam windscreen (pop filter)
• Check headset model compatibility (Astro A40 / A40 TR)
• Confirm your device uses a TR two-conductor mic input

Who is this for? Gamers, streamers, and anyone who owns an Astro A40 or A40 TR headset and needs an affordable, easy-to-install replacement mic will find this Smays boom useful. It’s aimed at users who want to restore voice chat functionality quickly without replacing the entire headset, and for those who prefer a flexible mic that can be positioned and removed as needed.
