Quick Time Review: Astro A10 Headphones Gen 2

Compatible with: PC, MAC, Mobile, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S

Pros

  • Connects to a wide variety of devices
  • The sound is full and rich
  • Easily adjusted microphone
  • Easy attachment via detachable 3.5 mm cable
  • Volume easy to adjust
  • Comfortable to wear

Cons

  • Some initial start-up issues where headphones were very static whenever the person or controller moved- issues were quickly resolved by unplugging the cable and plugging it back in.
  • Some consoles/devices may need adjustments in settings until the proper sound is achieved.

In Summary

The Astro A10s are a solid set of headphones that are comfortable to wear, compatible with multiple devices, and sound great, though you may need to make adjustments with certain consoles for them to work properly. Being wired assures a solid connection with devices. The sounds are rich and full, where you can hear links in armor clinking on characters in Elden Ring and the full roar of a car engine in Forza Horizon 5 . Gunfire is crisp in games like Saints Row The Third: Remastered and the music was clear but never overwhelming. At 60 bucks they’re a great headset to pick up without breaking the bank.
