Customer Ratings & Reviews

if you enjoy gaming, you prob already heard about astro gaming, when it comes to headset, you can’t go wrong with astro, for me they are one of the best and I haven’t been disappointed! Pros - the comfort of Astro A20 gen 2 was just right for me, it feels perfect snug on my head if that make any sense - the design and price you pay I think it’s perfect for budget wireless headphones, it’s sleek doesn’t have the same spiral wiring like the A40/A50 has but these are one of the design that separates them from the high head Astro. - the Gen 2 Astro A20 have a USB dongle size receiver, you won’t have to worry about a separate receiver box and optic cord compare to the first series - such an easy setup by plug it on you xbox, or pc by transferring the receiver - the ability to plug the usb receiver on the front of the xbox was huge plus for me that I don’t have to move the xbox and plug it on the back for optic cord - Astro audio are always been great it’s clean and you get a good balance of bass and tremble. plus adding Dolby Atmos for Xbox and PC gives you an amazing 3D audio support - comes with the same 2.4Ghz range of signal like their most expensive headphones - if you want to use the xbox headset on your ps4 all you have to do is order another usb receiver and that’s it, pair it and you’re good to go! - to mute your mic just flip the microphone upward and that’s it! - you have ability to adjust the game and chat audio through the headphones Cons - don’t be disappointed that you cannot change the ear covers like the high end astro headphones - also you won’t be able to rotate the ear cover to place your headphone flat on your table if you have a PC don’t forget to check for latest firmware update for your astro , I love using A20 such a comfortable headphone that doesn’t bother me after a long period of time plying Warzone on PC and xbox, also been playing Doom Eternal on xbox with A20 and it sounded amazing hearing all tiny little audio details. highly recommend this headphone as a gift for coming holiday, you will not be disappointed!

So far using these headsets for my PS4 and PC have proven to me that in the price range (mid tier), these perform all-around exceptionally well. Pairing is different from PS4 vs PC. Plugging in the dongle for the PS4 and pairing the for the 1st time is quick, easy and painless. After that, once you turn off, sleep or charge, it pairs 100% every time without a hitch. PC on the other hand is pressing the pair button on the USB dongle and holding the pair button on the head set it self (roughly 4-5 secs) every time you reboot/restart. Sound is great for the PC as you can use an equalizer to adjust to your liking. PS4 you're stuck with presets (and to me they ALL sound the same) so I left it on ASTRO. Bass isn't overpowering, highs are highs and lows are lows. Playing some FPS's like CoD, BF, Apex Legends, etc and all sound really good. Muting the mic takes some getting used to. Especially if you're doing FPS. You literally have to move the mic all the way up to mute and bring it back down for "always" on. Gets kind of annoying after a while vs other brands that just have a mute button. But that is the reason they are wireless I guess. The feel and comfort to me is really good. Unlike other brands, Astro choose the "cloth" cushion instead of the leathery feel most other use. I am quite surprise at the comfort from that. Gaming for about 4 hours (from a full charge) and my ear area was just a little warm. Not hot or sweaty at all. This also makes is feel like a premium headset but not really. It is mainly plastic and lightweight but still feels solid and well built. Color is nice as they are future proofing (?) lol to match the PS5. As for the battery life, I have playing roughly 12-13 hours total on a single charge and it has yet to die. I am super happy that it is a USB-C port too. I also want to point out the mic sound quality (according to my teammates) was good. I had only 1 complaint when my teammates were telling me I sounded like a robot drowning underwater. But I unplugged the headset and repaired and boom, worked like a champ. Every other time I had no complaints from anyone. All heard me loud and clear.

The Astro A20 wireless headset is a great entry level budget headset. Even though it brings just the basics, at the end of the day the basics is sometimes all you need. Hopefully this review will help to determine if this is right for you. First off lets talk about what you can expect to receive right out of the box. A headset and USB-C drive, that's it. Sounds too simplistic to be any good right? Well let me start by saying as a owner of the A50 series the A20 is pretty robust and well built. Yes the frame is a plastic frame but that doesn't mean its not sturdy or uncomfortable for that matter. As a matter of fact the first thing i noticed while trying this headset on was just how comfortable it actually was. So im one of those guys that has trouble finding a good headset i can game with for hours without it giving me headaches due to un-mitigated pressure points. I found that after gaming for about 3 hours i had forgotten they were on my head and also felt no specific pressure points due to a poor build. This was nice and at the same time disappointing due to the fact that my more expensive headsets struggle to accomplish this level of comfort. Now set up for the ps4 and pc was really basic which was a breath of fresh air. For my PC set up it was simply plug in the wireless connector to your usb port and bam your done. No apps to download, no lengthy instructions to read, just simply plug and play. On the headset you will find your mic on the left side of your headset. The mic is a flip up/down design which im a fan of. Simply flip the mic down to turn it on and talk and flip it up to mute. This design makes it easier to remember rather or not your mic is on which can save you an embarrassing moment online by not realizing that it is on. To the right you will find your power button, sound button and dial that raises game or chat volume based on which way you spin it. Voice chat quality is superb where as in game sound quality is average. Average is ok as you can still make everything out and sounds are nice, crisp, and clean. While the quality can seem a little bland at times you can still make out which direction certain sounds are coming from. But hey you need to understand that you will not get studio quality at this price point. Fully charging the headset took about a hour and a full charged headset yielded me roughly about 16 hours of gameplay which isn't half bad. Not the greatest battery life but far from being bad. Now don't expect a whole lot of customization on this headset like you can find on the other Astro units. The earcups do not detach like the magnetic held ones and i may be wrong but changing the exoskeleton is very limited in design. Overall guys this is a great headset at this price point and probably one the best you can find in my opinion. When it comes to gaming i personally feel you only need 3 things to be happy. A headset that is comfortable, provides good voice quality with decent sounds, and good battery life. Everything else past that is just bells and whistles you wish to add on. Most cheap headsets i have tested definitely prove the point of "you get what you pay for." However i never once felt that way with this headset. While the design may feel flimsy and cheap its actually very durable and can withstand falling off a computer desk multiple times without breaking. Sound quality isn't great but its not horrible either. And lastly the comfort level is what made me really fall in love with this unit. Most cheap headsets won't last a hour before i start to become uncomfortable and feel the need to take them off. So should you buy them? Well that depends. If your looking for a budget friendly headset that can keep up with the best of them, than ya this is almost a sure fire bet. Now if you have all this disposable income and your looking for the cream of the crop then it's obliviously not the headset for you. pros: -hours upon hours of comfort -Solid battery life -fast charge times cons: -Average sound quality -Lack of a charging dock or stand

The Astro A20 Wireless Gaming Headset (Gen 2) is a nice mid tier gaming headset. Pros: * Aesthetics - A nice looking headset with a modern white and blue color combination. * Comfort - The headset is lightweight and flexible with cloth ear cups. I prefer cloth ear cups compared to leather ear cups as my ears do not get as hot during long gaming sessions. I have worn this headset for around 4 hours of continuous gaming without experiencing any headset fatigue. * Wireless performance/range - The headset connects to a PC, PlayStation, or Mac with a USB dongle. I tested it using a PC; although, I am looking forward to using it with the PS5 when it comes out. It claims a range of 50 feet which is believable. I have not had any issues with it cutting out even when walking into a different room. * Audio quality - The audio quality is respectable and immersive. I predominantly play FPS games and had no problem determining enemy player movement/location. I have not experienced any crackling or distortion with highs, mids, or bass. * Battery life - I charged the headset to full prior to using it with the provided USB-C charging cable. I am nearing 12 hours of use and still have not needed to charge it. I appreciate the long charging cable as this is often an oversight I have seen with other competitors. Cons: * Mic - Having used a large variety of headsets from budget to top tier, the mic on this headset is pretty disappointing. While the speech is understandable, the sound is muffled. Hopefully, this can be remedied with a firmware patch or addressed in future generations of this headset. A solid mic could take this headset to the next level. * Build material - The headset is made out of plastic. Other headsets within the mid tier price point often have at least partial aluminum construction and will be more durable. Overall, the Astro A20 Wireless Gaming Headset (Gen 2) is a great plug and play option for PC, PlayStation, or Mac.

The Astro A20 Wireless Gen 2 Headset for PC and Xbox is a midrange headset from Astro. In the box you have the headset, USB dongle transmitter, manual and USB-A to USB-C cord for charging (see pictures). I opened it all up and charged the headset. It took almost 90 minutes to fully charge the headset out of the box. Now I was ready for the rated 15 hours of use without another charge. My first use of the headset was to connect to my laptop and use for conference calls for work. People could hear me very well. And I could hear them perfectly. I did find I needed to re-pair the headset each day which was a minor inconvenience. I found the headset to be VERY comfortable and wore them pretty much all day for a total of about 10 hours. There is a minor adjustment (see picture) where you can adjust the earpieces up or down. I did adjust them a little. When you swing the microphone up, it mutes the microphone. Swing it back down and the microphone is active. This was an awesome feature for conference calls! It was also nice to walk around while on the calls. I was able to be about 40 feet away and still keep the connection. Even on a different floor. The 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity is AWESOME! I received this in time for the Call of Duty Cold War Beta release. First person shooter games are a good test for gaming headphones as speaking with your teammates and hearing where your opponents are is critical to being successful. It is often hard to get a balanced sound that works for you between game noises and teammate voices. All of the controls are on the right headset. The top button is for power. The next lowest button is for the EQ with 3 settings. Near the bottom is a button for game or voice and a scroll wheel for volume. This is the best feature ever! Press the button for game sounds and adjust the volume up or down. Press the button for voice and use the scroll wheel to adjust the volume. A simple mechanical adjustment on the headset to fine tune game and voice volume. I have used the headset for about 14 hours and have not needed to charge them yet. They are rated for 15 hours so they should need a charge soon. Overall I give these 5 out of 5 stars and recommend them. They are a great midrange gaming headset that has great sound. It is very comfortable. The wireless connectivity worked perfectly. Also, you can get a PlayStation dongle and use the headset on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Of course this is only for Xbox and PC. They are also supposed to be compatible with the new Xbox coming out.

--- SETUP --- The setup for the Astros A20 was quick. In the package you can see a USB-C cable, the headsets, and 1 USB dongle transmitter. The transmitter goes plugged into your Xbox or PC and after a quick automatic installation of the software, the transmitter recognizes the headset. --- FEATURES --- The key feature of these Astros is that they are forward compatible with the Xbox Series X/S and, if you purchase a separate dongle, you can use them with a PS5 as well. This Xbox specific headset works with the current gen Xbox One/S. --- PERFORMANCE --- The performance for the stereo headsets was ok compared to others that I’ve used. I tested this headset with DOOM Eternal on Xbox One X and Hades on PC. For games like Hades, I had a great time listening to the voices of the characters with crisp, clear sounds. That game isn’t too intensive when it comes to audio, so it was perfect for that type of game. For DOOM Eternal, a game with lots of heavy bass music and crunchy sounds, I found it lacking in the audio department. However, Xbox has a one-time payment audio feature called Dolby Atmos that turns stereo headsets like this one into a surround sound experience. With that feature on, it was a great improvement. This review doesn’t take in consideration the Dolby Atmos add on, but it’s worth mentioning in case you want to get more out of the headset. --- EXPECTATIONS --- The product has its limitations. However, being a multi console owner, these headsets might redeem themselves once I can get my hands on a PS5 and Xbox Series X as the convenience of not having to switch headsets or transmitters could potentially outweigh the downfalls. Otherwise, the headset itself is light on the head and I found it comfortable for a person who wears glasses. --- VALUE --- The price for the Astros A20s in terms of value is ok for an introductory headset but having to buy only one for two consoles is definitely going to save you money. --- APPROVAL --- I highly recommend this product for people who are new to the gaming headset space and want an easy entry. Additionally, I recommend these headsets for future multi-console / PC owners.

Great headset, its very comfy, even to me that I wear glasses. I played with them for about a couple of hours and they didn't give me any pain The construction seem very solid and it has several level of adjustments for different head sizes/shapes. The microphone is decent and my friends told me sounded natural, and its a flip up mic, so if you flip it up, it mutes your voice. It can work with either a PS4 or a PC. I tried it on a PC. It was easy to plug in the USB receiver and then turn on the headset, pairing was automatic. One thing that took me a while to figure out, is the little button on the USB receiver, if you press it once, lights up WHITE, that is the PC mode, if you press it another time, it lights up BLUE, that's the PS4 mode, if you don't do that, the PC won't output sound. The included manual is very basic and didn't mention anything of these, its just a bunch of pictures and no directions, should be better. Other than that, the sound was great, very warm and with decent enough base. It does not have any surround effects included, it depends on you buying either dolby atmos or dts sound from the windows store for surround sound, which are excellent and cheap too. Battery life has been good, one full charge has lasted me about 3 days of 2 hours sessions each. I hope these are compatible with the new PS5 console, but I guess that's on Sony, not Astro. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a simple wireless solution without cumbersome base stations and what not, with great sound!

The Astro A20 for Xbox will be the first pair of Astros that I've ever owned, so naturally I was excited to give them a try. Overall I'm really impressed with the build quality, comfort and sound that these produce and there's really only one con to speak about, which ends up also being a pro for the unit. Overall the build quality is on par with other headsets in this price range. You have mostly reinforced plastic construction, with nice soft fabric ear pads and a rubber like headband. The headset itself puts a little pressure on my upper jaw and I have to extend the headset to the biggest size possible, but I also have a monster head. Normal sized heads will do just fine and will find that this headset is plenty big for them. Sound quality is fantastic, both input and output. Mic conversations come in crystal clear and the audio has a crisp mids and deep lows, leaving a little to be desired on the highs, but it's not terrible. Overall the sound is great and I think most people will get exactly what they expect out of these for the price paid. Now to the wireless transmitter, or dongle. This dongle is huge compared to other's that I've used in the past. It's going to stick out of a USB port pretty far, so you're going to want to stick this bad boy on the back of your console if possible to avoid breaking it accidentally. Also, a lot of Xbox headsets are using the native Xbox wireless audio and no longer need a wireless transmitter to function. However, this is both a pro and con because you can use this headset on a PC because of this wireless transmitter. The only other nitpick I'll bother writing about is the fact that there doesn't seem to be a mic monitor/side-tone feature on this headset and it's not detected by the Astro Command Center yet either. I'm not sure if this will be a function that will be available later on down the line through a firmware update, but I sure hope so as I'm very used to being able to adjust the side-tone on my headsets. Pros: Comfortable Good build quality Solid audio performance Great mic with flip up to mute USB-C Charging Xbox and PC compatible wireless transmitter Cons: Large wireless transmitter No side-tone/mic monitor adjustment Astro Command Center doesn't recognize this headset yet

I was looking for a good headset for quite some time, i was spending hundreds of headsets that are supposed to be good and comfortable when they’re quite the opposite. This headset has a ton of good reviews across the board, but was still nervous. However, I love logitech. I just want to start by saying this headset for its price, is by far the MOST comfortable headset I have ever owned. The ear pieces are that really soft velour kind of fabric, i have fallen asleep in this headset its so comfortable. I saw in another review that they disliked the fact that the volume wheel doesn’t separate the voice and game chat. Thats what made me nervous because i enjoyed with Turtle Beach 700 that they have a volume wheel for voice AND game chat. However, where it says “Voice” and “Game” by the volume wheel, those are buttons and they help adjust your audio mix. HUUUGE game changer. I most definitely would recommend this headset, if there was ONE thing i could change about the headset is how long the mic is. But other than that, i think im sticking with this headset for a long time for sure.

The Astro A20 wireless headset gives you the freedom from cables for long gaming sessions. I have a set of wired A40s and as great as they’ve been, dealing with the cables to the mix amp is a pain unless you’re using them at a desk. Aesthetically, I love the squared off look to the headphones, I think it’s gives them a kinda retro but futuristic look at the same time! In game sound is excellent, you have the situational awareness with nice highs and lows. You can choose from three different sound profiles, though I wish the headset said what the different sound mode was when you switched. In game chat has been clear on both ends for me, and the flip to mute for the mic is nice. The ear cups are the same as the A40s, but are not removable and replaceable like the A40s. The mic also can not switch sides like the A40s. This makes sense as these are at a much different price point. Personally I’ve found the headset to be very comfortable to wear for long (maybe an hour or two) gaming sessions. But, I wear them at the highest setting. If you have an XL head, this might be something to consider, as mine is probably large. The A20s offer a solid value as they work with PC, Mac, PS4 and are future proof with PS5 compatibility.

Best headset I've ever had. Comfort. Sound quality. Battery life. Range. The best.

THE BREAKDOWN: Overall, not a bad headset. The setup was pretty straight forward and quick. The box included the headset, USB-C cable, and USB dongle transmitter. Some of the features of this headset are they are NOT only used on one platform. You can use them on Xbox, PC or Mac. For me this feature is amazing as I do no like having different headsets for each platform that I play on. They are wireless and work on the 2.4 GHz range. I found that the range on these headphones was around 50ft like they stated. However, when adding floors and walls the range was around more like 40ft, but for me that worked well as I go up one flight to the fridge. The sound output was good. I found the highs and mids to be fairly clear and the bass was just ok for me. One thing to add on the sound is that you have Dolby Atmos for Xbox the surrounds sound really enhances the experience. The flip-to-mute microphone worked well, I didn’t receive any “hey who’s mic is echoing” while gaming rants. One, thing to note is that on mine you actually had to move the microphone all the way up to the vertical position to mute it. On others that I have used they had a midpoint mute which I kind of liked better. The fit was just ok for me, I have a big head and they fit me but felt almost like they bowed out some around the top. They were pretty comfortable for extended play time. Not the best comfort I have experience but by far not the worst. There is also game/voice balance and EQ presets. These all worked well and as intended. PRO’s: -Good wireless range -Can use on Xbox, PC and Mac -Flip-to-mute mic -Comfortable for extended wear -expandable with additional dongles CON’s: -No option for upgraded ear covers -The earcups do not rotate flat SUMMARY: Overall, these headphones worked well and were comfortable, and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this.

I have used a wired version of this companies headset in the past and its been the best headset i have ever used. I still use it on my console today. Knowing this I was excited while opening up this headset. Once I got them in my hands I was a little let down to be quite honest. The build is not as sound as my other pair and the padding around the ears is subpar. The max size of the headset is on the small side too. (Please keep in mind that this headset is designed for the new consoles coming out but all testing of this product is related to the most current 4k version out today. I am waiting for my pre-order to arrive) Now, build and comfort aside, this headset truly IS wireless as it connects via bluetooth plug in that goes directly into the console. Sound is good but nothing compared to my other wired version. The power and pairing buttons are located on the side of one ear phone. I must say its nice to be able to keep my headset one while grabbing a beverage and not having to worry about wires. All in all, this unit could use some focus on comfort as it lacks in that category. On the other hand the wireless nature of the set is outstanding and with accompanying sound being decent I would still recommend this product to anyone looking for a true wireless headset for gaming/streaming.

After being in a pinch and trying headphones in the store, these astros felt like a cloud on my head. Honestly, these felt really comfortable and doesn’t squeeze my head. There is no sound suppression, which I don’t really like anyways. The lightweight nature of it is amazing, but the mic quality is mediocre. Perfect headset for an Xbox, but you might want to look for a better one if you’re going into pc gaming. It works for pc, but I don’t really get enough bass in these, so I wouldn’t recommend these as your first option. As for wireless headsets goes, it has really good range, top notch comfort ability, decent sound, mediocre mic, and decent battery life.

But the A20 Gen 2s don't necessarily stand up to features available in other gaming headsets in the same general category. For example, Steelseries and Turtle Beach (there may be others) both offer Surround in their wireless headsets a similar price point. The A20 does however have a standout feature in it's ability to work with multiple consoles. Rather than having the firmware in the headset itself, it's located in the USB transmitter. Buy the Xbox version and want to use it on a Playstation? Simply purchase the appropriate USB dongle for $20 and you're good to go -- no need to use a different headset. Very cool. Other features include a flip-to-mute microphone that has a decent level of flexibility, a USB-C charging port, three EQ presets, and an on-ear volume dial. The A20 offers good sound, and for me they were comfortable to wear for extended periods. The plasticy but seemingly solid frames did not have a lot of adjustabiltiy however Overall, other than the ability to be used on multiple consoles, nothing really stands out. It is solid at everthing, and you could certainly do worse, but in the crowded gaming headset market there are many other choices either a little above or a little below the A20 Gen 2's price point that may be better options.

I bought this headset to replace my previous Xbox One wireless headset that was not compatible with the Xbox Series X. After having used the prior one for YEARS, I was disappointed to have to buy another set. The prior required a Digital Optical Output which is not present on a Series X console. The A20 uses a USB dongle for connection to the console. That being said - I find the A20 to be a decent mid-range headset. Pros - I found it to be extremely simple to hook up and get going. They are snug around the ears and keep outside noises to a minimum while being very comfortable to wear for hours on end. The battery life is pretty much 'as advertised' based on my experience in the last month of using them. The controls are very easy to use. The sound is 'good' but not 'awesome' in comparison to my last headset. Completely wireless is the only way to go, IMHO. Cons - While I do find the sound is 'good', I do find footsteps to be less noticeable than with my prior headset (although having recently changed from COD Cold War to Vangard, I find them to be less obvious in Vangard overall). Directional noises are pretty decent though. While the headset is very comfortable, for me, I'd like just a bit more room to adjust the headband slightly higher (although I do have a pretty big head) so the earcups would be a touch lower on my ears (make sense?). My last headset had separate volume controls for game sounds and chat - the A20 does not, so all sounds must be adjusted in Game Settings, not on the headset itself, which was much nicer. My BIGGEST gripe with the A20, is the lack of voice/mic monitoring. By this, I mean the ability to hear your own microphone in the headset. It's like wearing headphones or regular earbuds at a decent volume when listening to music and trying to talk to someone. You aren't really sure how loud you are talking - your own voice is muffled to yourself. If I hadn't had my last headset, or you have never had this feature, you may not even notice this. I dd have this feature and it annoys me to the point that if I would have had more time after purchasing these, I would have probably exchanged them for a different model to compare. I used them probably twice and then left town until my return window had passed. I am getting used to this though. It's not terrible - just very different than what I have been using for 7 or 8 years - and I have been using these for about a month. Oh yeah - included directions are virtually USELESS. I went online to figure things out. Once you know things, the directions make sense but before that, not so much. I have seen Quality comments about the A20, but I find them to be of good construction feel. My last set was 'known' for cracking issues with numerous complaints but I made it through 7 years with only minor issues eventually showing up (that were easily remedied) but I am not rough with my headsets and I'm not a kid - so experiences may differ. These do feel more solid than my last headset though. Overall - good headset. Not perfect, but good. The long CON section is not about more Cons - just trying to explain them in more detail. Cons are more important to understand well. The Pros are pretty self-explanatory.

What a terrific headset! And what is not to love? It has a great price, it is crystal clear, players tell me the mic is crystal clear with little background noise, there is plenty of spare volume to help find those campers hiding in the bushes in your favorite shooter game, the excellent battery runtime is beyond ridiculous and did I mention that all this comes in a WIRELESS headset. And not a slow Bluetooth headset that will get you killed in a shooter game, but a fast 2.4 wireless headset that is faster than your reflexes. You just gotta love it!

Longest battery life I've had in a wireless headset (16-20 hours) Better sound quality than my last 3 sets of $100+ turtle beaches They are LIGHT And surprisingly comfortable if you wear glasses. Requires one of your USB ports to be dedicated for the wireless pod Occasionally have an issue on first gen Xbox ones where audio will stop working until the USB is pulled out and put back in Could not get this issue to reproduce on an Xbox One X

Audio quality is amazing and extremely good comfort to the ears. The microphone sounds really good and battery last long time. Recomended 100%se

These are good headphones. There's no arguing that fact. These are my first pair of wireless headphones for my Xbox One X and they definitely do the trick. Latency is at a minimum and the sound is top notch, The mic allows for clear and uninhibited chat. the directional surround sound is creepy good. The bluetooth connectivity is fabulous. I mean, dang! This is what you want in a great pair of headphones, much less, a pair of wireless headphones. The dongle transitions easily between the Xbox One X and my PC like a champ. From the way I'm gushing over these things and by the score I gave it, you're probably awaiting a big ol' BUT. Well, I'm not one to disappoint. Guys and girls. parents and guardians, hear me now. These headphones are for adults that appreciate the value of a dollar. What I mean by that, is simply this. The build quality of these headphone are a step below Fisher Price. These things are just one rage quit away from the trash or a bunch of masking tape. They're poorly built. Simple as that. These are are great sounding a performing headphones, but $119.99 is too much. I recommend these only to grown folk.
