Will Astro gaming headsets work with an iPod or Windows phone 7?

I'm thinking about buying Beats by Dre Sudios but I'm also a pretty active gamer. I was wondering if the Astro A40 wireless headsets work with iPods and Windows Phone 7's. Basically, do Astros have the correct audio jack to fit into an iPod or Windows Phone 7? If it works with android also that would be useful to know also.|||From their manual, they have a connector for a PC and additional cables for connecting this to a 3.5mm mini-jack. This can plug in to the iPhone or Windows Phone 7 devices. It would likely work on any android device as 3.5 mini-jacks are industry standard. You only get stereo audio and the microphone doesn't do anything as the jack is output only.





A full sized headset does use a lot more power than the smaller ones, so battery life is a lot shorter and volume might be limited. They are also more trouble to carry around than smaller ear-bud types. Hence the A30s are smaller and lighter. If you are using the devices for gaming, you might find the cables to be annoying -- you need to hold the (relatively small) devices and large heavy cables may not be convienient.





Honestly, such a headset would be complete overkill for a phone. If you use it at home on your PC maybe its fine to carry around, but I think you'll find lugging them around is a hassle. You can put a cell in your pocket. As an alternative you might wish to look at wireless Bluetooth headsets. Many include stereo, you get the microphone capabilities, built-in power is likely better for volume and battery life, you don't have any cables to deal with, and you can put the device in your pocket while listening to music.
