Astro a10 headset pc12/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Maybe most headsets are this heavy and I’m just unaware, but the headset I was using before this was a “cheap” pair lent to me and they were SO light (though very cheap build quality and audio not as good as these) but I could wear them all day and not even notice, whereas with this headset after about an hour I have to take it off because it’s hurting the top of my head. To be honest I’ll probably invest in a new pair of something else eventually that can provide more comfort but I am new to having to voice chat in video games so I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a headset. But I don’t plan on throwing these around the house so I would have preferred comfort being priority #1 since gamers typically spend several hours wearing these. I guess they went for “durability” rather than comfort. I think what’s the most straining is how heavy it is so my only complaint is that they could be lighter. Rather than the whole top band being cushioned there is just a thick foam pieces right in the middle and I think I’d prefer the full band to be cushioned on the inside. I don’t find it very comfortable to wear for very long because it hurts the top of my head. ![]() The ear cups are a bit on the small side, but I have small ears and a small head so that’s fine by me actually. They are very heavy and hurt the top of my head. Once the cord was fully pushed in I can now hear out of both ears and the mic works.Now on to the review of the working product:They seem decent for the price, however I find them pretty uncomfortable. I attached photos as well as a video (sorry the video is not great, I was holding my phone while trying to demonstrate on the headphones but hopefully you get the idea). You need to push the plastic pieces apart so you get a bigger opening to the jack and then shove the cord in a bit further until you hear a click and it is flush. If the plastic is as “closed” as possible, you CANNOT push the aux cord all the way in. Well, when the new pair showed up I had the exact same problem and I knew the odds of getting 2 broken headsets was not likely so I started digging around google and YouTube until I found out what the problem is.So, the ear pieces have plastic around them that swivel slightly back and forth. I tried unplugging/plugging back in etc and reached out to Amazon customer support who was not able to to fix it so they sent me a replacement and I sent back the “faulty” pair. If you are having problems with your headset (sound not coming out of both ear pieces or mic not working) please read!I purchased these headphones (PS4 version) and when they arrived and I tried to use them I could only hear out of one side and the microphone did not work at all. ![]()
