    I have spent years and thousands of dollars on the highest-rated/high-end headsets. From Turtle beach to Steelseries and beyond. Every single pair has broken, not because of abuse, but because of horrible build quality and cheap materials. I am ecstatic to say that the Astro A30s are an incredible headet. The audio quality, the comfort, the ease of updating and control through the app, the design, battery life, build quality and materials are all extremely fantastic and impressive. Well done Logitech! And thank you for finally making a 1st quality headset that won't break with normal use. Great design.

    Sound is great, microphone could be better (you might have to bend it to where it’s not directly near your mouth), but the battery life, removal ear cushions and the fact that it can be connected to multiple devices is the real star here. Definitely recommend this product.

    They look good, and they’re comfortable, but that’s about everything that’s good about this headset. Definitely not worth the price. I have a pair of wired a40s from Xbox one, that just gave out after years, the bass range was very comparable, if not, better. The Bluetooth disconnects frequently and also the game audio will get very loud/quiet randomly. Every time I turn on my series x, I have to troubleshoot with this headset to get it to work, I’m talking multiple restarts and unplugging the Bluetooth dongle. The boom mic is unadjustable, so if your head is larger prepare for it to be up your nose. It does not pick up my voice unless I’m borderline yelling, friends in voice chat say that the internal mic sounds much better which makes no sense to me. Definitely disappointing because I swore by Astro before this purchase, these headphones are an actual disgrace.

    Ive watched countless videos and googled all over the internet with my best efforts to try and figure this headset out, and nothing helped. This headset is so complex it’s unnecessary. The microphone attached to the headset doesnt pick up my voice unless I shove the mic into my dang throat. The design is gorgeous, I love the holographic tags, but this is a 2/10 for me. I will be sticking to the aurora collection headphones by logitech.

    First impression: The A30 looks cash money, impressive look and the packaging was slick. Usage: Using the bluetooth move on mac book/mobile just worked. On PC the wireless dongle also was easy enough to setup that our nine year old gamer was able to figure it out with little effort. His main impressions was that this was an extremely comfortable headset and it blocked almost all outside sound. The bluetooth signal is STRONG. Strong enough to stay connected to the downstairs laptop and only dropped out at the opposite end of house on another floor. Volume is adjustable on the headset itself via the rocker and gets as loud as you can want. Another impressive feature we found is the battery life. A single charge will easily last days and it recharges fast via usb-c. The sound quality is great. Especially with being able to adjust the EQ and levels. You can control the EQ, boom mic noise gate, and whether or not you can hear yourself via mic with the Logitech G app. And you can setup profiles for each configuration of settings so you can easily switch from gamer mode to home theatre mode if you want. The only small complaint I found was the lack of live eq adjustment. I guess the app needs to upload a profile to the headset after each configuration save and that's why it's not already possible. It was also a little touchy on trying to adjust eq. Another little bonus we discovered is that the foam pads are magnetic and can come off easily for some good cleaning if need.

    I Wanted It To Be Better. Difficult To Operate

    Unboxing experience was awesome. Comes with a hard-shell case which houses the headset along with a spot for the white USB-A to USB-C charging cord, white 4 pole 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cord, USA A Wireless Dongle, and detachable microphone. You are able to connect to THREE audio sources at a time and adjust the volume on each for ideal mixing. These three sources are A. USB-A Wireless Transmitter, B. 3.5 mm Aux Cable, and C. Bluetooth. Which I like a lot and isn’t something you see often. But there are some issues with this. CONTROLS: The USB-A Wireless Transmitter has dual modes. A. PC and, B. Console. You switch modes by pressing the button the dongle. Which will turn White for PC and Green for Xbox. I tried to use this on the PS5 and while it registered it being connected, I got ZERO volume. Despite trying all volume options, I couldn’t get it to work. You can buy another dongle (whenever it releases) from Astro for $25. On the right earcup you have power on/off button. It jingles to notify you. Below that a Bluetooth pairing button. As Bluetooth automatically turns on when you turn on the headset and isn’t separate. Then you have a joystick. Up/down is volume up/down. Left/right is game/voice balance. Not available on PlayStation but works on PC and Xbox. Bluetooth control single press play/pause, double skip, triple skip back. Hold for smart assistant. Below that you have the USB-C charging port. When charging the light will blink white, when fully charged stay lit. On the left earcup you have a switch for mute/unmute. It also jingles. I like that it has some heft to it so you know it is engaged. Below that you have the port for the removable microphone. Then you have a 3.5mm aux cord port. Earcups can be removed easily (as they are magnetized). Also, can change out the outside speaker decals. Two microphones. One without the microphone and one with the microphone. Ironically not using the microphone gives you better overall sound. But also allows more room sound to come through. Microphone quality here is solid. But nothing amazing or mind blowing. Can change Profiles and Custom EQ via Astro App on cellphone. No dedicated PC app (such as Astro Command Center or Logitech G Hub). App shows battery (pressing opens the actual percentage) same with volume. But there is a star/dust background which constantly makes my screen seem REALLY dirty. I don’t like it. SOUND: I honestly really liked the sound on these. They have above average directional sound/imaging. Meaning when gaming I could tell where someone was located (left, right, front, back) but not with exact precision. Also, had a hard time with how close/far they were. I’m easily able to differentiate between different sounds when a lot is going on. Depending on the game footsteps were noticeable. Highs are very crisp and can almost come across as shouty/harsh. Mids may be a bit recessed. Making voices sound a bit artificial (but not like horribly so). Lows are also above average. Making explosions/gunshots sound really good. Overall mixing was “balanced” where I could easily hear everything including nuance sounds but are slightly treble focused which is better for gaming. Did above average for single player, multiple gaming, media watching, and music. Making them very versatile. While they aren’t the best sounding headset I’ve tried it is definitely one of the better ones and if I didn’t have a stupid amount of headsets (most being more expensive) I’d rate them higher. But with the other issues I have it makes it harder for me to recommend them for the price. BUILD QUALITY: It feels like an Astro Headset. Which means it can come across as a bit cheap but is likely better put together than you may think. It is almost exclusively plastic. I didn’t notice really any creaking. Joints are stiff (which is good) and hold their place well. Feels relatively light and is comfortable to wear for long periods. Had multiple 8 – 12 hour times with them without any issues regarding comfort. COMFORT: This headset looks super comfortable. But it’s not the most comfortable headset I’ve tried. It’s not bad by any means. But the clamping force is on the tight side. This is a positive to me as it creates a nice seal and with these being what I’m classifying as a hybrid open/closed back headset (which most Astros are) it will limit a lot of the room noise automatically due to the driver along with the soft leather like earcups. This makes my ears sweat (which usually isn’t an issue) that may bothersome. The earcups themselves are large both size and depth wise, that they should fit almost any ears comfortably. But the memory foam while being very nice and soft isn’t as malleable as some others which again is a positive and negative. As it can come across a bit stiff which can be uncomfortable while also holding its shape and getting more comfortable the longer you wear them. The actual adjustability isn’t bad either. Seeing as you can adjust up/down but there isn’t a whole lot of movement anteriorly but can lay flat posteriorly. Which makes them easy to put around your neck easily. I was also able to just wear it with one earcup easily in case I want to hear what is around me. The top headband may be an issue for some. I do struggle with this personally on some headsets. This is not one of them. But the area is small, with little padding, and is mostly filled with air. But due to the clamping force that pressure is mostly on my ears over the top of my head which is good as I think if I had more pressure on the top of my head it would cause it to hurt. ISSUES: The joystick is going to be hit or miss for people. I like that it simplifies the process. Up/down changes volume, but the negative part of this is it isn’t as precise as an actual wheel. Left/right allows you to adjust game/chat volume (assuming you’re on Xbox and have it setup correctly on PC). Which I used a lot while playing COD MWII with friends on Discord. As Game volume is intense on that game. Next, if you have a Bluetooth device connected it also allows you to press it for play/pause, double press to go forward, and triple press to go backward. Otherwise, you control that volume mix on that Bluetooth device itself. Sounds complicated? It kinda is. And may be an issue depending on how simple you want things to be. Which brings me to the next issue that I ran into which is difficulty getting the correct volume. As there are too many volume sliders. My typical setup was USB Wireless transmitter to PC. On my PC I have it set to ASTRO A30 GAME for my default sound and ASTRO A30 VOICE for default communication device. Which gives me the ability to have game/chat balance. In Windows you can also have something (say Chrome) be played through the secondary ‘voice’ channel meaning even when gaming by yourself you can adjust game/video volume or whatever. Which means that I have two, technically three sounds here. One being my PC sound, then my headset sound, then the balance between them. It’s probably easiest to put the headset volume at 100% and then adjust on PC as that gives you more finite control. But then alerts (such as powering on/off the headset) are super loud. I was also concerned about battery, but it seemed fine. It auto turns on Bluetooth which means if that’s also connected you have a third sound volume there which again is controlled through the phone/Bluetooth device itself. Which means if one thing is louder than the rest you must sit and pause and go, is this coming from my PC, my voice/chat balance, or my phone? Additionally, sometimes the Bluetooth will automatically adjust the overall headset sound. Making it so everything is quiet and then if you turn up or down the volume it will go back to what it was previously. Due to the huge variability here, it can be quite jarring when this happens. Which was regularly for me. Which brings us to the next problem. The Astro App needs some work. Mainly with just working. As often it wouldn’t even register that my device was connected, even though it was in the Bluetooth settings, which is what it tells you to check to ensure connection. When it was finally connected sometimes when you went to switch the EQ presets (comes with two stock, Astro Immersion and Astro Footsteps) along with ability to create your own EQ. Which honestly, doesn’t seem to be working and is limited to a 5 band EQ. Ends up it was working… which then made the Immersion and Footsteps preset not work as it permanently over rid them. You can also adjust voice/chat volume and headset volume through this which is nice. Along with checking overall battery level in a percentage. So, while there is a lot of value here there are three things that I think are frustrating but also beneficial depending on how you choose to use this headset. 1. Most people won’t want to connect to Bluetooth meaning learning how to use the headset and adjust settings won’t happen. Making most people give up. As there are no instructions in the box. Also, concerned about possible firmware updates. 2. If gaming on PC having a dedicated PC app (such as Astro Command Center or Logitech G Hub) would be better and easier to navigate. But this headset isn’t seen in either of them. 3. The only positive, if you primarily game on Console this allows you to not have to use a PC to adjust settings and allows you access to custom EQ’s. Which is nearly unheard of in the current space. Which I can totally respect and give some serious props to. CONCLUSION: There is fierce competition in this price point and while I think this is one of the best headsets on the market currently, you can get better for slightly more money or trade some features and save some cash. So, it's really up to you.

    If you want that quality and bang for your buck this is it. Loving the white and removable features for the caps and cushions. I purchased these for my son and myself so 2 pairs and we love them. I’m trying to match my peripherals. Will be getting custom ear caps soon.

    First time owning a Astro Headset and upon receiving them, they came in attractive packaging, easy to open and take out of the box sleeve. The headset is very stylish, clean white color look to them. The removeable ear cups are a plus for any cleaning that you may have to do as months go by of using them. Upon wearing them and trying them out, they are extremely comfortable, after wearing them for several hours the past few days, I have felt no discomfort after taking them off and the sound quality is really amazing from playing games to listening to music and even watching a few movies with them. The only small drawback I have and its like this with Windows 10/11 mainly is sometimes when starting my PC up the next morning, sometimes it doesn't recognize the headset, but I have this problem with other PC's running Win10/11 doing the same thing with other connected USB/Bluetooth devices so take that in mind and not Astro/Logitech's fault. Also, having these connected simultaneously to my PC via the USB dongle and then having them also bluetoothed to my phone, its really a treat considering if im playing a game and I don't hear my phone ring, I will hear it through the headset and even have a conversation on the headset while still hearing the audio on the headset from my PC also. The battery life really hits the nail on the head, I have used these going for 3 days now and about 6-8 hours each day and they have still a charge to them which in the description, it shows these having 27+ hours of battery life and I will agree with that. Overall, I am impressed with the presentation of the packaging, the headset, the comfort, audio, the customization and the features and I would definitely recommend this headset

    A Great Plug-and-Play Headset

    I have a bit of an obsession with headphones and earbuds, gaming headsets included in that obsession. My 3 sons that are gamers don’t help in this vice, so we go through quite a bit of headsets in my home. The Astro A30s give me mixed feelings. It does many things well, but there is something that leave me scratching my head. First, sound quality is great, the little joystick toggle on the right earcup allows you to adjust volume and change the focus to game or voices. That toggle is nice to have in the middle of a game where you want to make and adjustment but don’t want to take your eyes away from the game. I have to say that I have primarily used this on a gaming PC and a few times on our Xbox. Both types of gaming left me very satisfied with the sound and it was easy to connect to both. You also get an AUX cable in the box so that you can use that to connect to different devices. You also can connect using Bluetooth if you want to use these to game on your phone or tablet. Setup was straightforward, but I found it unusual that there was not software to download on the PC. Normally, in my experience with other gaming headsets you download software to allow you to update firmware and adjust settings. The software allows you to tweak EQs, spatial audio, surround sound settings, etc. No such software currently available. Instead, you download the app on your phone and make your adjustments there once you pair the headset to your phone using Bluetooth. You are allowed to change sound settings and profiles on within the phone app. Not quite the same granular adjustments I’ve seen in other headsets, but good. The last bit that is worth noting here is that the headset is very comfortable, and I have no problem using these for long gaming sessions. The new WoW expansion is about to drop, and I can confidently say that these will give me no ear fatigue for some upcoming long gaming session. The headphones have a nice aesthetic, but they don’t offer any RGB to customize it to your liking. So, great sound, easy setup, and great comfort. Sounds like they knocked it out of the park. I guess my hesitation is that I am accustomed to getting a little finer tuning in the software packages that most of the gaming headsets I’ve used over the last couple of years. You get some of that in the phone app for sure. I think maybe these would be perfect for those just looking for an amazing plug-and-play type of headset. Something they can begin using right away that will sound great, offer fantastic detail and clarity, without requiring all the adjustments. For those people, these are great, but if you are the type that likes to really dial in your sound in settings, be wary. They sound great and they are worth your time and money, just know that minor issue in software before you take the plunge.

    Looks Great, But Performance Doesn't Match

    The A30 Wireless Dolby Atmos Gaming Headset is a great looking headset. Clean, white frame with semi-clear caps on the earcups (tags) with a multi-colored glow showing through. There's no LEDs, but rather a shiny, colored finish underneath that reflects colors through the speaker tags. The Xbox version is white; the PS version is a dark navy blue. Both versions will connect to the respective consoles as well as PC via a USB dongle, as well as being able to connect to both consoles if you're willing to spring for the cost and purchase a second dongle. The A30s are smooth and stylish overall, and despite the fact they are a bit plasticky - it almost entirely made of plastic, they seem to be very solid. While they aren't the lightest headset around, they appear compact and fit nicely within the included case. The controls aren't very well thought-out in my opinion. The left earcup has a mute switch, and two ports for the boom mic and a 3.5mm audio cable. Since the boom mic is a plug/unplug device, you can't just swivel the mic to mute it - you have to feel for the button. The right earcup contains a power button, a Bluetooth button, and a four direction miniature joystick, which controls the volume and game/chat mix, along with a USB charging port. The little joystick is frustrating, as it's easy to choose the wrong direction, and the increments from one level to the next is making it far too difficult to attain the level you're seeking. Making it worse is that it doesn't link with the volume in Windows, which means you have to control it with the little joystick or from the phone app, which you connect to via Bluetooth. The power button and Bluetooth button have the identical shape (not to mention they're tiny), so you cannot differentiate them by feel - you either do it long enough you remember which is which, or you take the headset off so you can look. The Logitech G app is sparse, but does what it needs to. There's two pre-made EQ settings, with the ability to create your own via its 5-band EQ. You can create separate profiles for games, media, etc. along with a few simple adjustments for the internal as well as the boom mic. The boom mic was okay, although it transfers external noise easily if it's located too close to your mouth. The internal mic was a bit disappointing. Often voice was a bit garbles, or too soft for others to hear. Again, trying to change any of these setting requires you to connect it to your phone app via Bluetooth, which can be annoying if you have to do it frequently. Sound quality is very good, but the 40mm drivers aren't quite up to par with a couple of other headsets I have with 50mm drivers. Still, when it comes to sound Astro headsets generally excel, and these are good - just not the best I've heard. Treble is a bit more accentuated than bass, but in gaming that works pretty well most of the time. Overall, the A30 wireless did a very good job of balancing voice with game sound. They don't supply enough bass for excellence in media/music, but should be good enough to most people for everyday listening, making the A30s a decent choice for multi-use scenarios if you need more than just a gaming headset. I didn't find the Astro A30s quite as comfortable as some of my other headsets. It didn't cause discomfort, but I was aware of the pressure on the top of my head from the bridge, as well as the earcups. They grip and hold well, and are overall comfortable to wear during long gaming sessions, but I noticed they were there. The adjustments have no increments, with their travel being completely smooth making it just slightly more difficult to duplicate the settings precisely. It's not a big thing, but it was another small thing that was noticeable. The Astro A30 headset is a really good headset, but it's not great, which is disappointing as it is a bit on the pricier side, particularly give it's mostly plastic construction even it the build quality did seem solid. Sound is very good and should please all but the most finicky. Visually it's outstanding, and the ability to use it across multiple devices adds to its value, but while it has a few things going for it, it also has some minor disappointments. None of them are "deal-breakers", nor do they prevent me from recommending them, but they are there. The Astro A30 Wireless headset is a good, solid headset, with excellent sound that falls just a bit short of being class best, and an exceptionally sleek and compact design, but falls a bit short at being great overall.

    The Astro A30 Wireless Gaming Headset has a lot of great features perfect for PC, console, or mobile gamers. 1) Unboxing: The box is nicely sized, easy to open, and contains all relevant product information on the back. Inside was a carrying case, A30 headphones, LIGHTSPEED USB-A transmitter, removable boom microphone, 1.5m 3.5mm analog cable, and a 1.5m USB-C to USB-A charging cable. One thing I DEFINITELY appreciated was the 1.5m charging cable. I can’t tell you how many times I have purchased headphones over the years to find out the included cable is short and can hardly reach the floor from the outlet. I also like they included an analog cable to directly connect the headphones into a 3.5mm audio port. 2) Setup: From start to finish, it took me about 5 minutes to get the headphones working. I plugged the LIGHTSPEED USB-A transmitter into my computer, downloaded the Logitech app on my phone, and went through the setup instructions. With the ease of setup, I also plan to use these with my Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch. 3) Battery life: I charged them prior to my first use which took a few hours. The reported battery life is 27+ hours per charge. While I haven’t played for more than 27 hours/a full charge, I did spend a fair amount of time over the weekend gaming (several hours each day). Despite pretty heavy use there was not significant battery drainage (>70%). I wish the battery level was more readily viewable (as a percentage) so I could decide when to charge them. Ideally, I would have liked to see the battery level (as a percentage) on the main app page without having to click on anything. 4) Microphone: The detachable boom mic is where it is at. The sound it produces is great (for a wireless headset); however, the internal microphone is BAD. The only use I could think of is if you were wearing these listening to music with the boom mic detached and wanted to take a phone call. Otherwise, pretend there is no internal mic and leave the boom mic attached. 5) Customizable speaker tags: This is a cool concept that is on my list of things to do. The speaker tags on the side of the headphones are removable and can be customized. Given the opaque color, there are a lot of possibilities to really make your headphones stand out. 6) Versatility: I appreciate that these are compatible with Playstation, Xbox, XB Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mobile (iOS/Android). Buy one great headset and use it with all your devices. I will enjoy using these on my other gaming consoles (Playstation and Nintendo Switch). I also like that there is multidevice connection so I can get notifications from my phone while gaming on my computer. 7) App: The Logitech App (at least for PC) gets a lot of hate; however, I had not had any issues with it. All my Logitech devices connect flawlessly and just work. The same can be said for the phone app. It is intuitive and works great with a large variety of customizable settings. 8) Comfort: I found the headphones to be very comfortable. Even after wearing them for several hours my head did not hurt and my ears didn’t feel hot. Overall, I think the Astro A30 Wireless Gaming Headset is great and I would recommend them to any gamer.

    This Astro Gaming A30 Wireless Dolby Atmos 3D Gaming Headset for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, mobile, and Switch is the best gaming headset I have ever had, and there are many reasons I say this. First of all versatility. You can have up to 3 devices connected to this at the same time. I had my smartphone and PC connected at the same time. I was listening to music on my PC when a call came in on my smartphone. The music paused, and I answered the phone. Just awesome. Secondly, it is compatible with everything I have; everything. I use it for music, movies, gaming, video chat and zoom meetings, and the audio is incredible. Thirdly, it is super comfortable. Most gaming headsets are bulky. They usually have a certain look and feel to them, and that mostly means that they are heavy, super big, and not so soft and comfortable. These are made for comfort, while keeping the cool gaming look to them. Lightweight, soft, and not so bulky. The controllers on the headset are something I have never seen on a headset. There is a power button on the back right at the top. Then under that down lower is the Bluetooth button. Then the really cool thing is below that, which is a joystick like button. This thing is awesome. You can control so much with this joystick like button. Volume up and down, Balance game and chat audio, control music and calls. Love this feature. The on each speaker on the outside are removable plates that allows you to customize the tags inside. They are magnetic and so cool. The microphones, yes, two microphones. One is built-in and one is a boom microphone that is removable. They both work exceptionally well, although I do like the boom microphone better. The A30 is just great. I have used it on several games, as has my son. He likes the more aggressive gaming and war games, and says you can hear every little thing in the game. You can set your gaming profiles up in the Logitech G app too. Then there is the time you can use it before you charge it again. This is a huge improvement over my last headset. I can’t tell you exactly how long it was used continuously without charging it down to the hours and minutes, but we went 3 days with a lot of use from me and my son, gaming and listening to music, and didn’t have to charge it. So, yeah, it stays charged for a long time. Connections are Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz Lightspeed wireless with USB connector, wired 3.5mm. It also comes with a very nice hard case. It’s zippered and has a place for the headset, the boom mic, the USB adapter, and the cords. It also has a handle on it that snaps shut so you can attach it to something. The Astro gaming lineup is great and this A30 headset is no exception.

    A30's - Finally – Someone makes a gaming headset I can use for EVERYTHING and more than one of those things at once ! These feature a top notch fit and finish, great sound quality and epic battery life. I literally used them on and off all week and never had to charge them with a combined real world usage of 14+ hours. The dual mic setup is great. The boom mic can be completely detached for more casual use as headphones. Overall – this is the set of gaming headphones I have been waiting for ! Audio Quality – I have owned and have a few other headsets in the $100-$300 range. The overall profile on these is comparable to the $200-$300 bracket. The bass is strong, The highs are great, the mids are average to good average. Connectivity – I had no issues with Bluetooth connectivity or dongle use across PlayStation, Xbox, my random retro handheld, a Samsung tablet, my work laptop etc. . . . Important and somewhat rare feature – This headset does something well that I have wanted in ANY headset for a long, long time - From the Manufacturer - “Mix and balance audio from multiple devices simultaneously“ - “The A30 can play audio from 3 different sources at the same time. It comes with a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle and it can play audio from that, Bluetooth, and the 3.5 mm cable all at once. “ - I can be on that long boring conference call I have no stake in and listen to music or game on another PC at the same time ! :) What I love - Built in mic + Detachable boom mic – Think double / triple / whatever duty ! Insane battery life ! Super comfortable for long wear ! Not so great - Bluetooth device switching – could be better implemented. Squeeze tightness not really adjustable
