Astro A10 Gaming Headset Gen 2 Wired Headset - Over-Ear Gaming Headphones with flip-to-Mute Microphone, 32 mm Drivers, for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5/4, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac - Mint

Seems to be good bang for your buck; just got them in tonight and. have been using for the past hour. Honestly I'm surprised at how comfortable they are and at the sound as well. They are not fully noise-cancelling (to be expected) but the quality of the sound is great. I haven't used the mic feature yet and am having some trouble getting the input to work for it, so I may put this down to 4 stars if that persists. I got these since I work from home and it won't be a huge deal if that feature ends up not being compatible with my desktop Mac, but definitely a little irritating atm. Overall I like what I paid for. EDIT: It took a lot of tinkering with plugging in and out and twisting in the ports to get my input mic to work. But it works and the quality of my recordings and calls are great! It is a little quiet, so I had to turn my dials all the way up but sounds great now.

(Slight tldr pros and cons below) I’ve had the first gen since 2018 and when I saw the second gen I just had to get them and put old reliable in retirement. As of first getting the gen 2 and writing this review I have loved the 2 gen. Both comfortable and light as well as decent color selection but it’s easier if I do pros and consPros1. Super durable I have twisted them and put them to the test just like my first and still retained it’s shape and no signs of cracks anywhere2. Comfortability I have worn these headsets for hours on in and I can say for sure it feels like I’m not even wearing them but still feel really secure to my head3. Easy to clean (can’t say how easy since I have no need to clean them yet other than hair4. Price I mean you can’t beat a good durable headset for 40-60$5. Compatibility works great on my PC, Xbox and my switch but I hardly use headphones for the switch anywaysAnd now onto some cons1. The headphone jack (atleast for gen 1) is like playing Russian roulette could work up to a year or break next month most notably the audio slider could have it all the way up and only one ear has audio slightly bring it down and both work (recommend getting spare cords Amazon does sell them)2. Lack of options (more a personal attack) wish there were options for no mics or wireless since I use a different mic for talkingAnd lastly mixed opinion is the audio some say it’s best for single player. I play a lot of games that sound is key such as escape from Tarkov, day z and so on. I personally have not faced such an issue where this headset would struggle I could still pinpoint where gunfire and explosion happen no matter how chaotic with both gen 1 and 2As of now this is all I can think of I’ll update as I go on but for now I recommend this headset with a just the acceptation of being prepared to buy spare audio cables for the headset.Edit 5/1/24Wow almost two years and the headset is still going strong i have put ALOT of abuse on the headset so what are my thoughts on it now ?Well the audio slider has given out id say about 9 months in upon purchase but its minor being a small adjustment its working as intended, now onto the cleaning still just as easy just pull the ear muffs off and hand wash let it air dry and continue on. durability still on par as Gen 1 thanks to a nephew they can be thrown off the porch hitting objects such as cars and a tree and still work after plugging back in. Though have notice after some time it will hold what ever bend you put on it BUT it still will not crack or break so yea it was and still is worth every penny.

This headset isn't terrible by any means, the sound quality and noise cancellation is excellent. the only downside is the microphone sound quality is very scratchy and does not sound very good to me. Yes for the price point it is decent, I believe there are much better microphones for the same price point if you are only looking to use it as a communication device.

This headset has been very useful when playing on Xbox. I like the quality of the sound and mic. This is my second pair due to the first set getting stepped on and broke the mic. Did not hesitate to replace with same set

They look good, they sound pretty good, i don’t think they are real astros tho, my other pair that are 6 years old are way better and these haven’t lasted but 6 months and they already cut out and the mic sucks

Bought these headphones for my husband for his birthday he said it’s good quality, can hear everything clearly fits good and comfortable

if you don’t want to spend a lot money on headphones this a good option for ur gaming set up.

It's not a bad headset at all, the mic is a bit funky sometimes to get to work (you gotta have it down then plug it in), but it is a very comfortable headset and has good audio. Recommended for those who don't wanna over spend on a good headset.

This specific headset is great for kids or teenagers, specifically a person with a smaller cranium. The headset on a fully grown adult is quite uncomfortable. Aside from the aesthetics of comfort, it's quite an amazing entry level piece of gear for listening to and communicating with teammates.If you add on an Astro Mix Amp setup from their options available, the quality of sound goes through the roof. To the end of this review, the headset for a beginner (youth) getting into gaming is quite a level up in terms of quality for price.

My youngest destroys gaming equipment like a monster, so I tried to find something at the cheapest price point where headsets start to get decent ($70-$80), and tried these because I heard good things from a ton of folks. I did check them out in person to take a closer look at the ear padding and headband, and was pleasantly surprised. The construction was solid: sliding headband adjustment was tight with no set "click" points; the pivot points are solid and well constructed and don't look like weak points at all; the fabric covering the ear padding is soft and well attached with no pleats or loose ends/threads; the memory foam is really decent quality, and doesn't retain heat; and the 3.5mm jack cord seems somewhat heavier duty than average -it's thicker, and resists kinking. The sound is exceptional for this price range -very well balanced with decent frequency range, and no tinny sounding treble. The only negative things I have to say about this headset is that the fabric over the memory foam is harder to clean than solid vinyl, but it's so much more comfortable that it's barely a drawback.In this price range I've had an Xbox headset, two different Turtle Beach headsets and a Hyper X Stinger. All were far less comfortable over the ears, weren't as adjustable or comfortable to wear, and didn't have nearly as good quality sound (the Hyper X sound quality was total garbage in my opinion).

Was looking for a new pair of headphones, and wanted to spend like $100 or so as to not get a bad quality pair. For the price of these headphones, you'd expect the sound quality to be fine, but oh boy these headphones are rubbish. It sounds muffled as hell and the ear pads are tiny.

It’s a headset that works. Worth the price and sound is great. Mic quality is alright. I use an external mic so don’t care much.

these are incredible for value. wanted a headset that was good quality and just Felt Nice on my ears and my bf suggested these and i am in love. the cushioning is good. it doesn't feel like you're wearing anything at all.
