Budget brilliance? Astro A10 gen 2 unboxing and review

This is a review of the Astro A10 Gen 2, in mint green. I'll be honest, I have been surprised by this headset, it's not as rubbish as I expected it to be be. It's loud, sounds decent and has an ok mic. I'm using the mic for the voice over here.
Highlights of the Astro A10 Gen 2:
Decent flexible design
Reasonable clamping force
Decent microphone
Lightweight fit that's not uncomfortable
Surprisingly loud considering the drivers
Lowlights:
Mic picks up some background noise
Ear cups are a bit shallow
May be a problem for larger heads

I'd say so yes. These or the G435 would be a good choice for small people (kids) th-cam.com/video/ELseVXCAJpA/w-d-xo.html
