Astro A10 review: The perfect budget headset as long as you don’t care about looks
Time has caught up to Astro. For years, it was one of the few companies focused on gaming headsets—and as a result, it got away with charging a premium. The $300 Astro A50 is still a great headset, but that price looks increasingly ridiculous when companies like Logitech (which now owns Astro) and HyperX offer as-good-or-better sound fidelity in devices that cost half as much.
The Astro A10 won’t win any beauty contests, but compromising looks to focus on audio seems to have paid off here—it sounds way better than its $60 price tag implies.
Rich bass for a $60 headset; Flip-to-mute microphone; Very durable;
Narrow soundscape sometimes leads to muddy audio; Plastic, plastic, plastic; Colors aren’t very eye-catching;
