The highs in the mix are clear with a slight punch, perfect for the sound of most games. This headset won’t easily break unless you make a pointed effort. That means you’re getting ~$300 sound quality for far less.
#Astro a10 drivers
Astro has included the same drivers found in its $250 A40 and $300 A50 model. While the comfort and design are standard for an entry-level headset, the sound quality is, simply put, remarkable on the Astro A10. If these were $100 or more, these issues could be more damning at $60, they’re simply concessions that come along with an inexpensive headset. While these complaints about the A10 are worth considering, it’s also important to point out that, at $60, the A10’s physical design is similar, if not better, than other headsets around this price point. To that end, we’re willing to forgive the “sore-thumb” design.
That said, this is very much a gaming headset in looks and execution this wasn’t designed to be worn on your commute to work. However, a removable or collapsible design would have enhanced the headset’s versatility. The boom is long and slightly malleable, and can be swiveled upward, both to engage mute and keep it out of the way - all positives. The plastic material is not only strong and sturdy, but is highly flexible to allow for quite a bit of bend and bounce in the headband - this won’t easily break unless you make a pointed effort.
Thankfully, the A10 features a plastic headband with flexible reinforced steel for support, and no joints or swivel on the earcups, which removes a potential point of failure from its design. The sound quality on the Astro A10 is, simply put, remarkable.Īt sub-$100 price points, you’ll often find that headsets are made mostly from plastic, often with hollow, brittle frames or flimsy joints.
#Astro a10 software
Plug the included 3.5mm cable into the headset and the other end into your PC, console controller, or mobile device, and you’re set - there are no drivers to download or software to install. The only other pieces in the package are a 3.5mm cable and user literature, so unboxing is quick. The light cardboard box slides open easily, revealing the headset. Opening the A10’s package lacks fanfare, and that’s to be expected for a device that costs just $60. Thankfully, Astro – well known for making excellent headsets - has introduced the A10, a new model that costs the same as a newly released game but delivers sound quality on par with headsets twice its price. Unfortunately, most of the headsets that exist in the sub-$100 market are difficult to recommend at best. Despite the cost of gaming hardware and peripherals, you shouldn’t have to spend almost as much on a decent headset as you would on a new console.
