so if any of you remember a while back about my "fix" for the speaker buzzing
well after a month or so afterwards the buzzing returned. i have finally found and fixed the problem once and for all.
it turns out that its a minor design flaw (sorry astro)
when there would be any type of low frequency i would hear the buzz and could not quite narrow down where or how it was happening. i had finally found that the center of the speaker was buzzing on the backside of the little fuzzy piece that covers it. the back of the fuzzy piece is almost a wax paper like material and my ear was pressing it just enough that it would touch.
this is my fix to that problem and it cost me about $2 and 10 minutes of time

its a custom fix speaker grill. i have the inner fuzzy part still on top.
doing this fix or mod , however you want to see it, has improved the overall sound quality of my astros and comfort.
this does not hurt the speaker in anyway.
i have had this installed for about a month now and im very happy that i did it.
i just figure i would share this bit of information in my findings.
