Astro A10 Gen 2 wired gaming headset review

Astro A10 Gen 2 one-minute audit

Planned as a straightforward headset, Logitech’s new Astro A10 Gen 2 wired gaming headset is a strong expansion to our developing rundown of the best financial plan gaming headsets.

Very nearly five years after the arrival of the first Astro A10, Logitech has totally redone its plan, delivering a revived section level gaming headset.

The Logitech G Astro A10 Gen 2 is an extraordinary headset and one that is extraordinarily agreeable to wear for broadened periods. Its non-separable receiver may not be awesome, and its absence of encompass sound is frustrating, however it conveys a great deal at a reasonable cost.

Astro A10 Gen 2 cost and accessibility

The first Astro A10 was delivered a long time back and has stayed a strong passage in Logitech’s spending plan headset setup. The Astro A10 Gen 2 is a welcome invigorate and is as of now accessible to purchase for a minimal expense of $59.99 (£49.99).

Like other Logitech headsets, the Astro A10 Gen 2 comes in different charming varieties, including Black, White, Mint, Gray, and Lilac.

In the event that you’re searching for a no-thrills headset, another choice is the Corsair HS50. It’s a little less expensive in the US at $49.99 (however, more costly in the UK at £59.99). One disadvantage of the Astro A10 is that it needs 7.1 encompass sound.

An elective spending plan headset with that component is the Corsair Void Pro, however you should pay a considerable amount something else for the honor, it will hamper you $99.99 (£109.99).

Astro A10 Gen 2 plan

The Astro A10 Gen has a tough yet lightweight plastic form, weighing just 8.4 ounces (240 grams). It likewise incorporates a cushioned headband and adaptable padding earpads, the two of which are staggeringly agreeable and make the headset a joy to wear all through longer gaming meetings.

Appearance-wise, you can’t call the Astro A10 Gen 2 moderate. Be that as it may, it moves away from additional tasteless and conventional headsets with a straightforward matte variety plot and RGB-clad logos.

Given its low value, Logitech has justifiably eliminated plan includes that you’d anticipate from premium headsets. We would have surely preferred to see the gadget incorporate a separable receiver for gamers who favor single-player crusades. In any case, it probably would have added a critical cost increment.

The Astro A10 Gen 2 doesn’t have a quiet button; all things considered, you can accomplish a similar impact utilizing a sharp component that quiets your sound info at whatever point you flip the inherent mouthpiece upwards away from your face. While we would have favored a quiet button, it’s great the Astro A10 has a quiet capacity since this is a component that frequently ends up precluded from financial plan headsets.

As you’d anticipate from a section level headset, the 3mm sound link included with the gadget is unwoven and thusly more inclined to winding and tearing. Fortunately the sound link is removable, so if more regrettable comes to most obviously terrible, you could constantly purchase a modest substitution without binning the whole headset.

Astro A10 Gen 2 sound and microphone quality

The Astro A10 Gen 2 conveys great sound quality. We found it very even in view of our experience paying attention to music between rounds of Apex Legends. Its inherent receiver is not really astounding, however it takes care of business.

Given its value, the Astro A10 Gen 2 additionally performed well in-game, because of its directional sound system sound. We tried this with Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where the headset assisted us with evading a few threatening assaults from Alpha Pokémon by permitting us to hear their point of approach.

Be that as it may, expect no 7.1 encompass sound abilities from this headset. All things considered, you can investigate the marginally less expensive Razer Kraken X Lite(opens in new tab) (do take note of that the 7.1 encompass sound is just accessible on PC).

The Astro A10 Gen 2’s greatest strength is without a doubt its capacity to help most gaming stages, including PC and Mac. Because of its standard 3mm sound link, you can plug it into basically anything, from a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S to a Nintendo Switch OLED. The main admonition here is that if you have any desire to utilize the headset’s amplifier and earphones on PC, you’ll need to connect the correlative sound splitter and attachment it into your PC by means of the simple receiver IN and simple sound out ports (you know, the pink and green ones).
