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, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac & Mobile Devices - Black

I was in the market for a new gaming headset but wired, since my current expensive wireless ones only lasted a few month before breaking. I am always careful with my things, so when they broke I was very suprised and disappointed in the quality.When I saw the ASTRO A10 headset and how it's made to be more durable, I had to try it. It's only been a few weeks so far but these are some pros and cons I've noticed.PROS:-Durability and movement-Good audio quality (could go a bit louder but that could just be my personal preference)-Stylish and adjustable-Inline audio control makes for quick and easy volume adjustmentsCONS:-Only 1 audio control. Would be nice to control game and chat separately.-The foam ear covers are comfy, but on the smaller size.Conclusion:If you're looking for a gaming headset that is sub $100 I would recommend these. If anything changes, I will update.

I had the older model A10s when I saw these and I instantly bought it I have been using them for a couple month now and I gotta say these are far better than the old model there have more clean sound, lighter, and the cushioning around the ear is far more softer so your ears don’t hurt as mush after long gaming sessions. I’ve also have had no problems with the micThe only problem I have is that it’s not the friendly for big heads these ones just barely fit my head on the last setting but they are still a great headset and don’t see myself switching to any other Astro headsets for awhile or at least until these ones die or break than I’ll be back looking for more astros

(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.

I don't know why their are bad reviews. The way these are designed, they are super comfortable and get better with age, they are extremely durable, and built to be okay after the cords are inevitably yanked out of the socket. The sound quality is totally fine. The only two things, I would change, is I would like the cord to be something softer, because rubber or whatever cords are made of will yank your arm hair out if you rub it the wrong way, and also, I'd like the headset to have a black and silver or black and gold option. I mean, they don't look bad, but they could have a much cooler appearance. Still, this headset is perfect for what it is, really. As long as they stay affordable, I'll buy from this company the rest of my life.

Good game audio, voice quality is good
