Product Information

Bass extends deep and has a bit of a rumbling warm thump to it without totally destroying the midrange. A pop filter over the microphone would have helped, but it still captures crisp voice communications, without much sibilance.

The test recordings sounded clean, and picked up no stray fan sounds from my notebook or its cooler. Conversely, the SteelSeries are more comfortable, and their sound profile is more neutral, although it's still leans warm.The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Wireless are wireless gaming headphones; you can only use the Astro A10 wired. While there are a few dips here and there, the headset outputs fairly accurate bass and high sounds, and actually boosts mids. Astro’s always been known for a flashy, bass-heavy sound, and the A10 absolutely incorporates that aspect.

The Gen 2 have a lighter, more comfortable design with a more neutral overall sound profile, which some users may prefer. If for any reason we haven’t exceeded your expectations or you are unhappy about any aspect of your purchase from us, please contact us directly prior to leaving feedback or opening cases and we’ll do everything that we can to help you. Unfortunately, while they feel very light when worn and don't exert pressure on your head, the ear cups are a bit small, meaning they may not fit well if you have bigger ears.

The A10 clearly takes design cues from its more expensive siblings, but lacks much of the flair you'll find on the A40 and A50. I’m an ISF-certified TV calibrator and a THX-certified home theater professional, and I’m here to help you understand 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even 8K (and to reassure you that you don’t need to worry about 8K at all for at least a few more years).
