Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, the weekly piece that looks at interesting news around the gaming industry that may or may not pertain to cooperative gaming. This week we've got a handful of trailers to test your horror sense and a pair of headsets to test you aurally. 

As co-op gamers, we love headsets. Nothing beats being able to effortlessly communicate with your co-op partner if they're out of punching range. Astro sent along some of their new A50s - their first wireless model. Will the quality of their previous offerings be maintained? Read on and find out.

Astro Gaming have launched their latest and greatest headset, the Astro Gaming A50 wireless headset, the sequel to the Astro A40 wired headsets.  We're a big fan of a quality headset here at Co-Optimus, communication is key in cooperative games, so a good headset is an important tool.  We went ears on with the Astro A50's at E3 and were super impressed with the quality.

The Astro A30s are my go to headset, but I've been eyeing up the A40s for quite some time.  Now with the Astro A50s on the horizon, basically a wireless version of the A40s, it might be time to finally upgrade my ear cans.
