"The A30s are pretty much the highest end of the gaming audio spectrum, also carrying one of the highest price tags. The A30s benefit from all the equipment in the package. Not only can you hear the quality you're paying for, but you'll also feel like you got all the components you need. You'll hardly want to take them off." - Daniel Bischoff Game Revolution
Astro makes some amazing and very durable headsets and this looks amazing. Logitech G, today unveiled the new ASTRO Gaming A10 Gen 2 Wired Gaming Headset.
Astro is quality.
Almost ten years in, my original gen A50s aren't giving me a single issue, and still go toe to toe with the best gaming headsets on the market.
I do also have a HyperX Cloud Revolver S though, and it's very much a quality surround sound headset for a fair bit cheaper.
I have been using the A10s model since I stopped using my A50s. And I have to say they are pretty good. And now the new model of the A10s are even better.
Astro Gaming announced their new ASTRO.ID Collection 2 line for their Astro A40 TR headsets, now available to customize exclusively on their website.
Even though they finally died a couple years ago, my original Astro A50s was awesome and lasted me for the better part of a decade.
That said, I'm using the HyperX Cloud Revolver S, and the sound is also fantastic, and far less pricey. It's just less comfortable than what I had with the A50s, not that it's uncomfortable either though. I just barely even noticed the A50s when wearing them.
Do you travel with your games often? Take your Switch with you, or maybe carry around a laptop? If so, a new collaboration between ASTRO Gaming and San Francisco bag maker Timbuk2 may be for you.
Turn my headphones up! I need them turned up!
$250 seems like a lot, but if the sound is as good as im hearing it is..then i think its worth it.
Wait these are new ones ? I just got the A40's aw Dengus
I won a set of these and the sound is amazing but they aren't worth the price
the mic is horrendous, not adjustable and very low quality...couldn't believe how cheap it was
as far as comfort, they are okay...they will heat up your ears really quick
for games I stuck with my turtle beach X41's...merely use the a30s for music mostly and as headphones for my imac
the mixamp is an okay idea but there really isn't a reason why those functions can't be built into the head set like the TB
relying on a whole separate box for volume adjustment is pretty weak I think
ill stick to my hd650 sennheisers :P
