About this deal

However, they're decently comfortable, and their wired-only design ensures that you don't have to worry about battery life during long days on the go. The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE are slightly more versatile headphones than the Astro A10 Gen 2. This is a Switch-focused gaming headset, but using the mic with a Switch just isn’t practical—though admittedly a big part of that is down the console’s particular hardware limits.

You can listen to any type of audio on these and be happy, and know that it wasn’t mangled to death by over-sculpting of the sound. Razer Blackshark V2 has an even better microphone, and includes a USB sound card that enables THX Spatial Audio and many other convenient options.The L/R drivers are also well-matched regarding phase and amplitude response, which helps ensure a balanced and stable stereo image. I’m an ISF-certified TV calibrator and a THX-certified home theater professional, and I’m here to help you understand 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even 8K (and to reassure you that you don’t need to worry about 8K at all for at least a few more years). The A10's 40mm drivers pump out stellar and nicely balanced sound across the board, whether you're playing games, watching movies or TV shows, or listening to music. This is a notorious weak point for headsets, so strengthening this area is always welcome and should prolong the product lifespan. Wide padding under the headband matches the material, and ensures that the headset never feels too tight on the head.

The audio isn't fantastic, but these are for gamers rather than audiophiles, and it's something younger users won't care about as much. On the other hand, the A10 have a better-sounding microphone, and their wired design means you don't have to worry about battery life. On the other hand, the Astro feel slightly better made and less plasticky than the SteelSeries, but that’s about it.

Unfortunately, they also don't block out the low rumble of bus engines, and they leak audio at high volumes, which can annoy others around you. The rest of the frequency response falls within good limits, resulting in mostly clear and pure audio reproduction. People with glasses looking for something reasonably cheaper and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. However, the A20 have a better-balanced sound profile and a companion app that lets you EQ the sound.

These headphones have middling peaks and dips performance, meaning they can't control the sound they want to achieve. However, the originals have a better overall microphone performance as their mic sits closer to your mouth. Vocals still sound natural and my ears adjusted to the character of the mids after just a few songs. You might prefer the Turtle Beach if you like a really bassy sound, since they have an always-on 'Bass-Boost' feature and add a lot of extra rumble and punch into your audio.The Astro A10 Gen 2 aren't designed for sports and fitness and aren't a good choice for that purpose. The microphone boom arm is made out of bendable rubber, allowing you to adjust the distance between your mouth and the mic. Buckle down for all-night gaming sessions with custom tuned 32mm dynamic drivers that are closed back for an immersive experience and astounding headband design for ultimate comfort.
