Alright. If you game and you don’t buy these headphones... you are just missing out. These are amazing. I watched this before I bought it and the results were off the charts! Here are 4 reasons you should get them if you’re a gamer: 1: flip to mute my mom in the background 2: great- no, the best sounding audio 3: incredible mic quality for gaming 4: the most durable and almost indestructible so my little brother can’t break them.
Tchenzie Guichette Does it play back sounds in surround sound or stero? I know that the headset is capable of surround sound with its speakers, but without an amp does it still play back in surround sound or nah?
my dad got me this exact headset for my birthday and it’s a really great headset for anything, love the mic quality and the comfort. Thank you for the great review!
I bought a40's in 2012 and they sound just as good as they did when I bought them. Astro makes quality headphones that will last a long ass time. I have no complaints. If I didn't already have some I'd buy these in a heartbeat. I'm telling everyone I know to get these. Turtle beach ain't got nothing on Astro!
Mørkskogg I got a $100 turtlebeach headset the wireless one that pairs to the little box and I set my headset down and when I came back that shit didn't pair anymore and so I couldn't hear the gameplay anymore it was basically just a normal mic. I went to go trade it in to gamestop and they said they don't take those cause "they don't last" or some shit like that. That was the last time I bought turtlebeach fuck those guys
Mørkskogg they sound really good but I wouldn't say they do last a long time i have yellow a40 and a mix amp but there both broke the USB port in the amp fell out but it's still the best headset I've ever have even after them breaking they still sound absolutely amazing and I have duct tape around it so it can hold up the side that's broken but it's good these a10 is what it's about cause it's not breaking this time with that much flexibility
Really wow my A40s are still going strong I didn't buy the mix amp I just upgrade to generation 2 A50's. I believe they were refurbished on Amazon but they sound really good and have had no problems. My girlfriend has the generation 3 Astros they are slightly more comfortable but hers you can adjust the settings on the Astro command center.
xMrxMoneyxManx ' I had a similar thing happen to my mixamp. I had it plugged in and it fell off and jammed the micro usb port in. This was not Astros fault though. I just bought one of the newer ones on Amazon for like 60 bucks.
ASTRO was smart about the colorways They already know that Green = Xbox Blue = PS4 Red = PC We've been conditioned to match the color of our respective consoles 🤣 Definitely gonna have to cop a pair of blue ones...but I have a white PS4 :( RIP the colorway dream
All i really wanted to know was if the mic on the headphones was good... as soon as I heard the mic test... I never hit a link so fast before ever in my life.. Thanks for being the only youtuber that did a mic test on the headphones as of right now!! Now I just have to wait until they come in... I ordered them yesterday !!
Old Vid but Just picked these up at Best Buy for $20. They feel and sound good. Only issue is they are a bit heavy on your head. Not enough cushion but for $20 they are 👍
@@nathansanchez5631 sound quality is really good 👍 Comfort - a bit heavy on the head but overall they feel good. I got them on sale for $20. Definitely worth it if your planning on grabbing a pair.
@@nathansanchez5631 Nah man it's not comfortable. For reference, I wear a 7 3/4 New Era hat but yeah I can always feel that padding on my head. I can game for a couple hours before I need a break from them. My other better headphones, no break needed. I prefer the stuff that has a suspended cushion. But for $20 or even $15 which is what I got them for brand new, killer deal. The mic alone is worth it.
Ive had this headset for a year. They are very comfy. The only complaint I have is that your ears get quite warm and sweaty after a while. Then again u could always use the headset as earmuffs in the winter, it will work very well for that. I also really love that the aux cord is detachable and replaceable. Finally the astro tech support is great, it didn't take very long to get things resolved and they were nice. It took me a while to get used to it, but I love the audio now. It has a pretty good bass. Lastly, It may be indestructible, but it still can be bent out of shape. I've accedently tripped and fell on my headset and it still works perfectly fine, just bent out of shape a little. Which is mostly fixable.
@@cryjng The reason I probably didn't like it initially, was probably because I switched headset and the sound equalizer was totally different and It was not was I was used to. It took me a while to get used to it.
I got a pair and I like them. They're simple and easy to use. The vertical Mic muting is pretty cool! I've had a pair of afterglow for about 2 1/2 years and they work really good except they kinda squeeze my ears and head. Now that I have the A10's, I don't have those issues anymore. 👌👍🏼🙌
IF you have a ps4 Get the Ps4 Stereo Headset gold 30$ more and its worth it. The A10 i bought them because this guy exagerrated how good they were, and honestly i was let down. I like having my audio LOUD A10 does not offer that.
Are you ok in the head?! The A10’s are loud on the PS4 I think you just have damaged hearing if you think otherwise maybe turn down your new headphones 😉
Yeah dude if you go to walmart you can usually find them to try and they have pretty great sound. I dont like them loud because i want to hear people if they are trying to talk to me(not through headphones but in home)
Been eyeing this headset for the last couple of days and this review just sold me on it. Definitely going to pick up a set for myself soon. Thanks for the review!
Hey guys, I can see that everyone is liking the new headset. Here goes the link to check out the new product on Astro's website in case you want to make that purchase: bit.ly/AstroIKC
Seven-Ate-Nine dude honestly the headset it self is legit. But the sound quality is fucking shit. I did my first review on my channel about it but it's just in my opinion about it. In all honestly for a budget headset I'd buy the turtle beach stealth 700. They're lit af
*FOR EVERYONE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE MIC* To turn on the mic, just flip it down to where it's in front of your mouth. It will automatically turn on. If it still doesn't work, something's wrong with it. I was having this same problem at first, but after a couple minutes it started working.
Smol Child I had this problem. Turns out, you have to really force the cable into the headset. It will click and you’ll think it’s in, but you need to push it until it clicks a second time, then the mic will work.
So yalls mics still work great headset still good. I'm needing a long lasting headset I ain't got the money to keep buying some. A review on how it is months later would be nice.
The Xbox One Astros I was referring too. The Xbox One Astros will get game sound on the PS4 but you cant chat with them and the same goes with the PS4 Astros connected to an Xbox One. As far as Xbox One Astro's they should work fine with a PC.

Only reason I came to this video.
BackwardsCombatable No one does the mic test on Astros because they're shit and they want to get sponsored.
I'm not sure how it is on Xbox but on PS4 you can change the mic volume
GooseXO why they shit
GooseXO how ? PLEASE TELL ME HOW ? PLEASE .
Alright. If you game and you don’t buy these headphones... you are just missing out. These are amazing. I watched this before I bought it and the results were off the charts! Here are 4 reasons you should get them if you’re a gamer:

Yeah I still have my 2015 A40s they do sound good but you can add that mixer to create surround sound it is just another 100 plus.

Doesn't matter the color. They all have the same cable just saying. Read the box
DonLee no the pc version comes with a y splitter while the other 2 don’t

Good video bro! I have the Astro A40's. About to fly back home from overseas. Definitely gonna be picking these up. Mic was legit.
The price tag and durability sold me quickly, didn't expect them so sound so damn good though...excellent review

How has the headset been working out for you? Mostly just concerned on sound quality.
what do you think of the headset now?
??
I think he died
I bought one today through youre link and this vid helped so much tanks so much bro
Old Vid but Just picked these up at Best Buy for $20. They feel and sound good. Only issue is they are a bit heavy on your head. Not enough cushion but for $20 they are 👍

commenting in november 2024, had this headset for 6 years, tried 3 other headset , expensives one, my old astro A10 still outclassed them.
I got a pair and I like them. They're simple and easy to use. The vertical Mic muting is pretty cool! I've had a pair of afterglow for about 2 1/2 years and they work really good except they kinda squeeze my ears and head. Now that I have the A10's, I don't have those issues anymore. 👌👍🏼🙌

Amazing review mate !!
Thank you this helped me in making a purchase and everything you covered lines up
used to have a40s... I bought a10s just to test it out. I never went back to my a40s. Mic its better and sounds the exact same. great mic
Back Up I need help with the mic ps4
I bet u didn't have the mixamp
All my damn mic does is static so. Fuck the mic on these things, they do sound wonderful however
I've always heard Astro was a good company. This review confirmed I need to cop a pair of these
IF you have a ps4 Get the Ps4 Stereo Headset gold 30$ more and its worth it. The A10 i bought them because this guy exagerrated how good they were, and honestly i was let down. I like having my audio LOUD A10 does not offer that.
Are you ok in the head?! The A10’s are loud on the PS4 I think you just have damaged hearing if you think otherwise maybe turn down your new headphones 😉
30 more for a bit more sound is your own problem. Not everyone wants to go deaf
Yeah dude if you go to walmart you can usually find them to try and they have pretty great sound. I dont like them loud because i want to hear people if they are trying to talk to me(not through headphones but in home)
I just bought a pair today in 2022 and this bad-boy still gives a fight. Not regretting anything.
