    I have been wearing Gunnars for about a year now and oh my God do they perform wonders, lol. I do not get headaches anymore from looking at my pc screen or t.v. for to long. My eyes dont get red and start to burn after a few hours of game play, and the overall picture on my pc screen looks much better! I will list all of the details below, and the picture above is hyper linked for you. Oh and did I mention that they are headset friendly?

     

     

     

    What is GUNNAR Optiks?

    - GUNNAR Optiks is a technology company that seeks to enhance the abilities of the human visual

    system through revolutionary innovations. GUNNAR performance eyewear is engineered to give

    even the most demanding digital user an immediate and noticeable visual advantage in the

    short term and provide superior optical performance over longer periods.

     

     

    What does GUNNAR Optiks Make?

    - GUNNAR Optiks makes digital performance eyewear that enables the human visual system to

    achieve a higher level of performance while in front of any digital screen. GUNNAR eyewear

    also protects the eye from the negative side effects associated with using computer or television

    screens for extended periods of time.

     

     

    Why do I need to wear special glasses to look at a computer or television screen?

    - It is not uncommon in this digital age that users produce and consume eight hours or more of

    digital content per day. The digital user is more likely to spend four times as many hours

    interacting with a digital screen than interacting with direct sunlight. GUNNAR digital

    performance eyewear gives users a distinct advantage in visual efficiency, visual endurance and

    visual recovery.

     

    What results can I expect from wearing GUNNAR digital performance eyewear?

    - GUNNAR Optiks digital performance eyewear provides the following benefits:

    • An increase in visual resolution

    • An increase in contrast

    • Sharper, clearer vision

    • A reduction in glare and reflective light

    • A decrease in eye fatigue

    • Higher humidity levels surrounding the eyes

    • A reduction in the negative effects related to dry eyes

    • An increase in effectiveness, productivity and performance

     

    How does GUNNAR Optiks' digital performance eyewear improve my vision?

    - GUNNAR'S proprietary i‐AMP lens technology works with the human optical system to optimize

    visual performance when interacting with any digital screen. Digital consumers notice an

    immediate increase in contrast, detail and optical resolution as well as a decrease in glare and

    visual fatigue.

     

     

    What is i‐AMP® lens technology?

    - GUNNAR'S patent‐pending i‐AMP lens technology is the result of intensive study and research

    on the human optical system and its interaction with digital devices at specific distances, and in

    specific types of light. Based on optometric principles developed over several years, and fused

    with the most recent scientific advances from the GUNNAR tech labs, i‐AMP lens technology

    works with and enhances the properties of the human eye. The i‐AMP lens technology

    encompasses the following technologies:

     

    • diAMIX lens material

    • fRACTYL lens geometry

    ‐Neoscopic tuned for near distance viewing environments

    • i‐FI lens coating

    • iONIC lens tints

    ‐AMBeR lens tint

    ‐CRyTAL lens tint (specifically designed for tasks/duties that require an equally

    balanced color spectrum ie. true color for graphic designers)

    ‐Gradient GoLD lens tint

    ‐Gradient GReY lens tint

     

    Can GUNNAR Optiks' eyewear improve my gaming performance?

    - Yes. Our proprietary frame and lens technology delivers an immediate and noticeable visual

    advantage in the short term and can improve optical performance in the long‐term. We have

    customer and pro gamer testimonials that credit GUNNAR's digital performance eyewear as an

    excellent solution for visual efficiency, endurance and recovery. It is especially noticeable during

    any long marathon sessions.

     

     

    What if I already wear glasses, can GUNNAR digital performance eyewear come in prescription?

    - Yes, GUNNAR offers prescriptive eyewear for individuals who need corrective lenses.

     

     

     

    Who should wear high‐performance digital eyewear?

    - Anyone who spends time using computers, electronic digital devices or console gaming systems

    will benefit from wearing GUNNAR's line of digital performance eyewear. This includes creative

    artists, professionals, gamers, dj's, students, programmers, and any office workers. Anyone who

    spends extended periods of time in front of digital screens should be wearing GUNNARS.

     

     

    Can I wear GUNNAR digital performance eyewear all day?

    - GUNNAR precision frames are designed with one goal in mind ‐ long haul ergonomics. For visual

    endurance, every frame and lens system is engineered for optimal weight, comfort and

    durability. Most users prefer the GUNNAR Neoscopic lens for near distance viewing and for

    console gaming at intermediate distances, however multi‐tasking throughout the day is not

    unusual or harmful.

  2. No it is a wired headset but Astro just released a new wireless headset now that you mention it. I will attach a picture of the new wireless setup, you can see the receiver in the background, and the new smaller mix amp that is suppose to fit in your pocket.

  4. I have owned and used just about every gaming headset known to man over the last 6 years, the best headset I have found is the Astro A40! Turtle beach used to have a good headset back when they made the X40's, but then they stopped making them for some stupid reason, now all of their headsets have crappy sound quality and allot of interference and static in the sound, their also lacking in the PS3 department as well. Tritton tech headphones are more for the budget gamer, their not bad but the sound quality still isn't as good as the Astro A40's, I also had to replace a few Tritton headsets because of a durability issue, once you drop them their pretty much done for,their microphnes tend to have allot of issues as welll. Their are other gaming headsets out their that I have purchased, but they are not even worth mentioning! Overall the Astro A40's are the best headset you can buy for Sound quality, durability, and overall usage. You can use Astro A40's with your XBOX, PS3, PC, Apple iPhone (2G/3G/3GS/4G), Blackberry and most smart phones, PSP (Version 2000 and up),Nintendo DS/DSi/DSXL, and even a guitar amp! Four very small, very powerful magnets (Neodymium -- strong stuff) hold on what are called speaker tags, so you can design custom speaker tags for your headset and pop them on and off whenever you want, no other headset out their offers this! I mean honestly the list is endless when it comes to the Astro gaming headsets. I strongly recommend the Astro A40 headset for anyone that enjoys online gaming, and competitive game play. If any of you do decide to purchase them, let me know and I will tell you what you need to buy to have the set up you want. I will also post setup instructions for the Astro A40's on the PS3, seems like PS3 like to make everything difficult when it comes to gaming headsets.

  5. I have been wearing Astro and Turtle Beach for about 6 years now. Their is NOTHING like 5.1 DD surround sound over your ears, I dont care how many thousands of dollars you spent on a Bose surround sound system, it will never compare to a good 5.1 dd headset.

  6. Just bought the new Astro A40's, I still have the A30's and the old A40's but I heard that the new A40's were much more comfortable, so I had to buy them! If you guys are not wearing Astro's you are missing out, and your not gaming at your full potential!
