On Teamspeak and Discord, my friends could hear me fine, but there were complaints about other noises coming through from the background, such as keyboard typing and even computer fans ramping up. The microphone isn't as good as on some headsets we have used, mainly because it picks up a lot of background noise, but it isn't unusable. The microphone boom arm is made out of bendable rubber, allowing you to adjust the distance between your mouth and the mic. They seem very durable, and if a younger (or particularly angry) gamer uses them, they should be able to withstand the inevitable rough handling. We're not recommending that you try to do this too often yourself, as no doubt it will snap eventually, but it's nice to see. The Astro A10 is surprisingly malleable and can be bent into some rather strange positions. This works very well, and if you have ever used over-ear headphones that don't adjust here, you'll know that this can help immensely. The earcups can also pivot a small amount to ensure they are comfortable. This is a notorious weak point for headsets, so strengthening this area is always welcome and should prolong the product lifespan. We've already mentioned that the headset is mostly made of plastic, but they are reinforced with some metal here. The Astro A10s can be adjusted to fit your head size. If my ears were larger, I imagine that would no longer be the case. The earcups are quite small, though I have small ears and I was aware that the foam was touching them, but it wasn't uncomfortable. This works well, and you don't really notice that the headphones are on at all. It has a small piece of foam on the headband, and the earcup padding is made out of memory foam too. It is predominantly made out of plastic, but it does have a good solid weight to it and doesn't feel overly flimsy.Īt the bottom of the left earcup, there is a 3.5mm port for the cable, which has basic inline volume control, but nothing else.Īlthough the headset does have a good weight to it, it doesn't feel overly heavy in use.
The grey and black works very well, and the nice blue detailing doesn't look out of place. The headset itself is rather nice looking and is far less garish than some previous Astro headsets I have used.
LOGITECH A10 PC
If you are not using this headset for your dekstop PC however, then it isn't needed. It's somewhat annoying that one isn't included, as it would only cost a few pence for Astro to include this cable, and it improves the functionality a lot. This has to be bought separately and is £10 from Astro, but you will be able to find it for around £1 from other places such as Amazon or eBay. One thing to note here is that there is no Y splitter cable to turn the 3.5mm four-pole jack into two 3.5mm three-pole jacks for your PC. There is also a quick start guide, but this headset is plug-and-play, so we don't really need it. Inside the box, there is the headset and a two-meter cable. The Astro A10 is one of the last headsets to be released while under the ownership of Skullcandy, and this time it's a more budget-friendly headset aimed towards the PC, Xbone, PS4, Mac, and Mobile. Until very recently, Skullcandy was the parent company, but this has recently changed and now Logitech owns it. These headsets do a good job, but it does seem you pay a premium for the branding. tax)Astro has been around for quite some time, releasing headsets such as the A40 (£80+) and A50 (£180+).
