Product Information

One positive is that if you flip the microphone up it mutes itself - great if you want to talk without transmitting.

The microphone boom arm is made out of bendable rubber, allowing you to adjust the distance between your mouth and the mic. Setting up the Astro A10 is fine on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but otherwise far more complicated than it needs to be. Instead, you get a fun, aggressive-in-the-right-places, punchy and wide sound that leans towards the warmer side. While both headphones are comfortable and well-built, the Astro headphones have a more neutral sound profile, which some users may prefer, and their passive soundstage feels larger and more immersive.I’ve reviewed dozens of headsets over the years and let me tell you: No button compares to the ease of simply pushing a microphone out of your face when you want to mute it. Additionally make sure your User-Agent is not empty and is something unique and descriptive and try again. This extends to the A10’s cable, a cheap rubber-clad affair with a bizarre triangular control hub that only exists to house a thin volume wheel. Since it's just a typical headphone jack, you can easily plug it into a PlayStation 4 controller, an Xbox One S or X controller, a PC or Mac, the Nintendo Switch, or a mobile device. Our unit's L/R drivers are also well-matched in amplitude and phase response, creating a stereo image that accurately places sonic objects, like footsteps and gunfire, in the soundstage.

De-emphasizes bass sounds, which means people with deep voices might not sound quite right, but otherwise it sounds more or less fine.They have a comfortable fit suitable for long gaming sessions, and their wired design ensures a virtually latency-free gaming experience.

There are only two physical controls: A volume wheel and a pivoting boom mic that mutes when you put it in the upright position. The Logitech's boom mic makes your voice sound more natural and does a better job of separating it from background noise.The plastic is durable—Astro demonstrated that to me at one point by slamming the headset into the ground.
