BETTER THAN TURTLE BEACHES

I've been using Turtle Beaches for years and recently my house was broken into and my Turtle Beach Stealth 700 was stolen. I had to buy a new pair and decided on this pair and rented them out I'll tell you. THIS IS AWESOME They're about the same weight as turtle beaches. They look better, sound better, the mic doesn't look robotic and seems to be of high quality. From now on I'm an Astro Boy! EDIT August 8, 2020 Well after a few months of use I would say Turtle Beaches is better than Astro inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Some cons

I chose them, not Lucid LS30

Pretty good gaming headset. I had an expensive Turtle Beach PX51 surround sound headphone that broke after 2.5 years. I wanted to stay as far away from Turtle Beach as possible. I bought the Lucid LS30 at the same time they did and chose the Astros because of the weight of the headset and the fold-out mic. The LS30's are heavy (but aluminum, more durable), the mic doesn't rise, and has a very annoying blue LED that lights up in your eye sockets all the time. The overall sound of the LS30 isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

UPDATE (February 17, 2018): DO NOT BUY THESE HEADSETS. Once again, these headsets mysteriously stopped working out of the blue after being used just 30 minutes before work started. This is the second time and I can no longer send them back through Revain for a replacement. I do not recommend these headphones to anyone. Please do not buy. UPDATE (January 5, 2018): After my initial purchase a month ago, the headsets have mysteriously stopped working. I used them the night before and when I wokeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Don't save money. The product does not work!

This is the third Astro headset and I do not recommend it. 2 has not been charged after 2 months. He left, the last one we ordered from Amazon for a friend for his birthday was worsted. Packed in a gift box and did not look. Today we gifted it to the birthday boy, he was so happy and depressed. He unrolled it and put it on. Nothing. No light, nothing. Even after an hour of charging, it wouldn't turn on. Don't buy this is the worst headset ever. My husband got the Astro 10 for PlayStationโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Flexible, lightweight materials with fabric earpads and headband mean you don't have to worry about headset fatigue if you turn off the game before you're ready.
Cons

worked great until it stopped. I'm in support hell right now

This headset worked fine about two weeks ago. (7 months) Then they just wouldn't charge or connect if wired. After trying all the fixes on the support forum and YouTube, I was able to contact the support team. (email only) which doesn't really bother me. But this is where the frustration comes in. The first answer was basically a list of things to try on their support forum and YouTube, which I already said in my contact email. To validate my warranty they then required proof of ownership andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The ASTRO Control Center software allows you to configure all input and output parameters
Cons
  • Mostly fine, but...

I really like this headset. This is very handy for hours of gaming, e.g. B. 6 at once! The sound is fantastic. As this is a new a20 model I would compare them sonically to the old a50 models (the ones from about 5 years ago but without true surround sound). The lack of surround sound isn't a problem, as it supports Dolby Atmos, which simulates surround sound. This is called "virtual surround sound". I have a set of old Astro A50s with 7.1 and I can tell you that you can still hear baddiesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • With over 15 hours of battery life, you can play for free knowing your gear can keep up with you during marathon gaming sessions
Cons
  • Protection
