About this deal

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under a contract that is caused by events outside our reasonable control or due to our compliance with any applicable laws or regulations. On Teamspeak and Discord, my friends could hear me fine, but there were complaints about other noises coming through from the background, such as keyboard typing and even computer fans ramping up. They seem very durable, and if a younger (or particularly angry) gamer uses them, they should be able to withstand the inevitable rough handling. Unfortunately, there aren't any sound customization options to help you tweak their sound to your liking. Wide padding under the headband matches the material, and ensures that the headset never feels too tight on the head.

The A10 + MixAmp M60 is "Tuned for Gaming" with ASTRO Audio and offers controller-mounted Game:Voice Balance controls at your fingertips, providing total command of your gaming audio experience.Settle down for all-night gaming sessions thanks to its ergonomic construction, with closed-back design, supported with sturdy construction and an ultra-durable headband that may just outlast your old favourite headset. Stepping up a little more to the HyperX Cloud II, meanwhile, and you also get extra earpads, a carry case, a USB sound card, and 7.

It is predominantly made out of plastic, but it does have a good solid weight to it and doesn't feel overly flimsy. We've learned to appreciate how simulated surround sound can subtly add to first-person gaming, but audio quality and value are always greater considerations. There's a dip in the mid-mid though, so vocals and lead instruments in songs like Lord's Apparition from the Elden Ring soundtrack are pushed to the back of the mix. The headband is the worst offender though, resting a significant amount of weight on the top of the head and eventually leaving me sore.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Voice reproduction is excellent, though, and, as I said earlier, I’ll always prefer flip-to-mute over a button. They're lighter than the original Astro A10, and they clamp less tightly due to their differently designed yoke and headband design. Not every headset needs to do double duty for studio production work or “hearing every little detail” in an old favorite music track.

Elden Ring sounded excellent, with every telltale growl, rustle, and twinkle coming through clearly. If you have a non-BNPL balance, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.It's somewhat annoying that one isn't included, as it would only cost a few pence for Astro to include this cable, and it improves the functionality a lot. That’s not all that surprising, considering Astro is also a well-regarded industrial design company. They don't do a good job isolating you from background noise, like chatter from nearby coworkers, which can be distracting. Music doesn't hold up as well with the Astro A10, neither do films, but the headset is not so bad to be unusable for these. Astro has made a really fun headset here, with a sound signature that falls right in line with their more expensive A40.
