Astro has never widely released a headphone that cost less $250. There’s a ton of competition in the gaming header market these days and companies like Hyper X have made lower cost headphones competitive, at least in terms of sound quality to the higher-priced players. This is a smart move for Astro. They suck up some of that market and maybe the A10s are a gateway drug to the higher priced models. But it’s only a smart move if the headset doesn’t suck, so lets talk pros and cons and see if they hold up.

I wouldn’t get them, the war cup shape is odd and painful
Bruh I can’t watch this because of that frame rate
Just want to say.. These headsets are amazing when you hook them up to a MIX amp PRO/TR… The mic is the best out of all the headsets and when you pair it up with the MIX amp you will get amazing sound. Remeber the A10 use the same speakers as the A40s and 50s. Yes they sound low on PS4 without the mix amp but if you have 40$ around the house just go on ebay pick a cheap one up and u will have a high end set up.
Good review, goes over lots of details. Thanks
Let me know if your having trouble with video quality. Some folks have said there’s something going on but everything looks fine for me in this end.
Lincons are 5$ each
I’ve heard that this headsets audio is terrible on the ps4, is that true? I play tactical fps games on ps4.
What about when they are paired with the mixamp m60?
is the voice of this headset loud ?
Love to see a video comparison of the A40’s vs A10’s with mix amp. Seems like a good money saving salution.
You cant return a open item. Only exchange defective items.
Bro, 3 Lincolns though?…3 Lincolns though???… Did you not like even check and save yourself the embarrassment before you just said that? None of us would have even known that you needed to check. But it sounds like you didn’t do that. I couldn’t even finish the video after that
Hey man, this or cloud core? Thanks.
Im looking to get a headset for my ( majority ) ps4… n a lil pc
And as i dont use headsets all to offen i do prefer an over the ear type..
But i cant decide between
1. Astro a10 -$89au
2. Playstation wireless stereo 2.0 – $99
3. Kingston hyperx cloud 2 – $119
??
confused between the Astro A10, Turtle Beach Stealth 400 Wireless and the Hyper X Cloud Stinger….mind keeps changing. 🙁
Wait…wasn’t your youtube name called theJTL?
Astro a10 vs hyper x cloud core 2s
That mic sounds really good, specially for that price.
Astro a10 or Sony platinum? Which one
Worth the extra $10 over the HyperX Stingers?
The a10s and a50s have the same speakers
This or xo1
hey Jason im trying to decide on a headset these a10 , the hyperx cloud 2’s , logitech g933 or the astro a40 without the mixamp these will be for my ps4 and one feature i did want is being able to easily control the different volumes in game and in chat as some turtle beach sound cards have if that makes sense. i wanted to know your thoughts and recommendations if you can give me some advice id appreciate it most id spend is $150
I know this is a old video but the headphone are made with steel and they have a plastic casing
That frame rate
ur a fuckin tool lol
