![]() What does that mean for you, the listener? Well, in music it might mean that complicated sections with lots of instruments will sound a bit messy-instruments don’t have enough room in the mix to breathe, and thus overlap and cause conflicts. In music, movies, and games the A10 consistently produced solid audio, with my sole complaint being that the small earcups led to a very narrow sound. ![]() That covers about 80 percent of what you’ll hear in any given setting, and Astro does a good job on that front. Like most budget headsets, the A10 concentrates on delivering clean mids. And the A10 solidly outperforms HyperX’s entry-level Cloud Stinger option. Lest we forget, the HyperX Cloud originally retailed for $99 before hitting its perpetual discount price range between $50-80. Listen: This isn’t the best headset I’ve ever used, but considering it’s $60? Astro’s done some pretty excellent work. The A10 performs where it matters though. The A10 isn’t uncomfortable per se, but you definitely won’t forget you’re wearing it. The headband is the worst offender though, resting a significant amount of weight on the top of the head and eventually leaving me sore. The A10’s ears are small and a bit claustrophobic, thinly padded, and with a tendency to hold in heat. IDG / Hayden DingmanĬomfort’s not much better. It still worked, which is great for all you accident-prone people at home. The plastic is durable-Astro demonstrated that to me at one point by slamming the headset into the ground. It’s also 100-percent plastic, with the exception of the fabric-covered earpads and another pad on the headband. It looks utilitarian and industrial, almost like a retro-futuristic science fiction headset you’d see in Alien or something. In any case gray covers the majority of the headset, with your color of choice appearing only inside the earcups, plus a logo on the left headband and right ear. Of course, all three end in a 3.5mm hookup and are thus functionally identical, but uh…brand commitments, or something. Gray and blue for the PlayStation-centric version, gray and green for Xbox, gray and red for PC. Rather than opt for a default black or even a white chassis, the A10 comes in gray.
