Logitech - A10 Gen 1 Gaming Headset

I have the astro A10 gen1 and they're pretty good but the padding on the band have worn out do you think the A50s are worth the money?

Astro A10 gen 1 Used for several years, almost no wear + tear Good audio and comfortable around ears, relatively cheap. Only downside is the small amount of padding on top and not sound cancelling. A10 Gen 2 fixes this/these issues and is also wireless

I've had a Blackshark V2 X for around a month or two and it already has a connection issue causing horrible scratchy audio every minute or so, I'm having issues finding a headset $50 or under to replace it. I don't really want to get another V2 X because this issue seems to be caused where the cord connects to the headset and it's not replaceable. Outside of my V2 I've tried the Astro A10 gen 1 and 2. My only real requirements are for it to have a replaceable/removeable wire, it to be $50 or under, though I'm willing to go to $60, and preferably to be more durable or less prone to this kind of issue.

I use a separate mic & headphones, but I have the HyperX Quadcast 2 as my mic and KZ ZSN Pro X as my in-ears. I've used the Logitech G Pro X for a while before swapping to this system, however the headphones got heavy on my head after very long gaming sessions, but they were comfy! I go back to them if I need wireless :). I also have a pair of Astro A10s I use for my PS5. They are super lightweight and the audio is good, and the mic isn't terrible.

Astro, or at least they were when I bought my pair of A20’s. I was in the same position as you in 2019 and then I bought a pair of Astro A20’s and they’re built like a tank and practically fool proof. The headset bends a lot meaning it’s pretty impossible to break them and the foam pads for the ears are still solid to this day and have no sign of breaking off. There is no part of the headset that has physically shown any sign of degradation. If you’re looking for BIFL durability wise then Astro is the way to go—at least the A20 and A10’s are since I have no experience with their more expensive models. With the said, the audio and mic quality is middling. The mic I straight up wouldn’t use if I were you. For years I wondered why my friends pretended like I wasn’t talking—turns out I was just so quiet that they couldn’t hear me (That’s more of a console problem since you can’t really alter your mic level). The default audio is okay, not great not terrible. I have my own preset that I stole from some random guide long ago so I’m really satisfied with the audio quality at the moment. Also, having owned it for almost a decade, the battery is obviously degrading to the point I’m considering buying new headphones but I haven’t started to notice until recently and 7 years after the original purchase. Obviously, it seems times have changed and Logitech seems to be more involved with Astro now so I can’t speak of modern Astro headphones, but the ones I got were definitely a BIFL durability style purchase and I would 100% recommend it for reliability.

I had the PS5 Pulse Headset. Was great until the right ear stopped working. Couldn't bring myself round to spending too much, so just grabbed some Astro A10's. Haven't had any issues with them tbf

Before i always buy cheap headsets sound terrible and always breaks and then i made the biggest mistake by buying the xbox gaming headset not the new ones the old versions xbox one days Then i bought the astro a10 it has decent build quality but sound quality is not that good Then i bought the pc38x when it released and i was so happy with it and impressed it was the first real headset/ headphone taht opened my mind and realised the gaming headsets is shit i still have it till this day Now i have the aune ar5000 and recently bought the fiio k7 dac/amp and i cannot wait for it to arrive

Get a pair of ASTRO A10s, Iv been using a pair for 7-8 years at this point.

Probably Turtle Beach Recon 50 if you’re THAT constrained by your budget. If you can shell out a bit more, ASTRO Gaming A10 has a better mic

Astro A10s/HyperX Clouds on a budget, pc38x for more money
