Great product for PlayStation 4

Despite the reviews that it is difficult to use with the PC it is not, just press the button on the USB receiver when it lights up and turns yellow to indicate that it is ready for use. The device will automatically switch to low volume every time you turn it on to avoid those annoying moments when you forget to adjust the volume before turning it on. The mic has great background noise rejection, you can clap and make loud noises and you can't hear anything, my wife who is 5 feet away speaking…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Some flaws

The best gaming headset in this price range. Buy it.

I own the latest generation of this Astro A20 and have used it every day. It was the best headset I've ever had. This new model is just better. The wearing comfort is incredible, the workmanship is very solid and the price for the quality is simply exaggerated. The fact that they've ditched that pesky little black key box connection is amazing, and the connection seems noticeably stronger. I can go much further with this headset than the previous model and it hasn't fallen off yet. The older…

The setup might suck but the headset is great

Great headset and very comfortable even for people who wear glasses. It doesn't block out a lot of background noise. I will be using this for remote work, not gaming. Please note that the PC setup sucks, at least for me and some other browsers. In short, the YouTube manual, built-in instructions, and Astro support page are useless if something doesn't work right out of the box. If you want to connect this to a PC, plug everything in, PRESS THE GAME MODE BUTTON on the headset (reviewer's secret…

Pros
  • Useful for more than it's intended purpose
Cons
  • Not bad

Buy them if you want a quality headset

I've tried many headsets from different companies and so far Astro is the only company I can honestly vouch for. Upgraded to a20 which was an amazing headset. I've had them for a year and have never had any problems with them. I still have them and they work well but I plan on getting a PS5 if possible and they will fix some issues anyway so I decided to upgrade to a 2nd gen A20 and I love this headset. I honestly can feel the difference, it's lighter but still Amazing build quality, it has a…

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Approximately

Ugly, oversized, completely useless.

Out of the box the headset is uncomfortable and adjusting the strap is a bit awkward with this design. But I plug it in, turn it on, the computer recognizes the A20 is plugged in. But the sound from the computer to the headset is not received. Although I hear beeps from the headset and my own voice over the microphone, I know the speakers are working. Thinking this is my problem, I grab a small paper notebook and think it has basic troubleshooting instructions in it, but it doesn't. . It…

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • I'm worried

Unsupported Headset Item

First only the latest installation instructions are taken from the Revain test. There was nothing resembling a purchased version of the product on either the Astro website or the Youtube channel. Normally I would say that the headset is not that difficult to install, but it comes with a USB transmitter that has two modes: console or PC. The button that toggles between them is labeled "Multifunction Button", for example how do I know it toggles between modes? The only indication that the device…

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • No Insurance

FOR EVERY BATTLE: The USB dongle is not very intuitive and if you don't get it, switch the pairing modes from PC -> Console or Console -> PC USB plug and once the display lights up, press . I found this in a YouTube comment while trying to figure it out. Review: The features are great! The headphones are some of the most comfortable I've had, the mic is muted when in use (although the red mute light does NOT come on, I checked Discord, it wasn't picking up voices) and technically it…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
