The last gaming headset you'll ever need? Astro A30 review

The boom mic is worse than the internal mic. It’s awful.

so i looked up headsets for xbox and bought this one. i need to buy a seperate attachement for it to even work?

These headphones greatest downfall is that in the box doesn't come with STICKERS!!! :(

3D Audio?

Thank you

I bought this without much research, because it was there on a shelf and I wanted a headset. Initially it was great, but within 6-8 months the cups are crap, Connectivity has been steadily decreasing, support is non-existant, the build quality for the price is abysmal. Most disappointing Logitech product I ever purchased. Regret. Cannot even buy replacement parts, out of stock since launch. Avoid.

great for gaming, but when I went to play music i was annoyed I couldn't set an EQ. didn't know there were adjustments like that on the mobile app. its annoying there is nothing on pc, i ended up just finding a free EQ.

To sum it up, the A30 headphones are definitely better than the Astros A50 in several ways. However, there are a few areas that could use improvement. Firstly, I'd like the headphones to automatically turn off when not in use for a short time, which would save power, but unfortunately, this feature is missing. Additionally, I'd appreciate the ability to adjust settings directly on the Xbox or PC, not just through a phone. Overall, the A30 headphones are a big step up from the Astros A50, but they have a comfort issue. Unlike the A50, I find the A30 less comfortable for long gaming sessions due to the earpad rubber design. Despite these points, the A30 headphones are still a good choice, and I hope future versions will address these concerns.

Very helpful video. Thanks man

My headset hotmics I’ve baught 2 so I just switched back to my steal series and use that just get a steal series headset no mic issues no problem.

How do I know its finished charged the headset.? Astro a 30 wireless headset.

Bro said battle station

Watched another video prior to this, but wanted your take on them. The mic sounds much better on Wi-Fi mode without the boom attached. However, plugged in with headphone jack, the boom sounds as good as Corsair HS80 IMO. Thinking of getting a pair tomorrow. Been researching for hours today

Hi I got my astro a30 today and put them on charge the light on the headset is still orange in colour should it go off when fully charges please

440AUD here, i might consider it if it was 110AUD RRP, what a joke piece of shtt.

They r good headphones But the charging ports piece of shit have Trouble charging The thing For £200 bit or a joke 😂

Yes

Can you use the headset as a wired headset? Say that the battery is dying and you don’t wanna have to put it on charge. Could I connect the aux cable into a controller and it would be powered by the controller? I currently have a40 tr, I’ve had 3 pairs of Astro a40s over the few years and their perfect. The current ones I have are gen 4, I’m hopping that a gen 5 will come out some point but I’m getting to the point that I’ll have to replace my current headset soon. I still don’t really like wireless headsets cause you have to charge them and the batteries life drains over time. I’d love if I could find a headset that works as both wired and wireless. I love the Astro a40s, would you recommend getting this headset then or another brand of headset like Astro a40s? I’d love to get another a40 but here in Australia you can only buy the a40 tr with the mix amp pro and not without it. I don’t want to spend extra cash on a headset that comes with a mixamp I’m not gonna use at all. Also I prefer the mixamps you can plug into bottom of the Xbox controllers.

Somehow the boom mic sounds way worse than the built-in microphone.. Like, a lot worse.

Thanks for sharing

another question is can i connect it to my controller or A40 mixamp with the 3.5 aux cord and still bluetooth music to my phone at same time!

So basically can i play game and listen to music at same time?

so can i connect to my A40 Mixamp w/ the 3.5 aux cord and it will work just fine?

Help me understand this price point with no ANC.

I love them. Bought on a whim at Walmart and they're the best I've ever used. Way better than my old lucid sound.

The biggest thing for me with Logitech headsets is they have the side tone so I can tell if I'm taking too loud. Does it work pretty well? I have a dedicated mic so Ill only use headset for sidetone

666th like. :P

I am thinking of getting the Star Wars version of this headset so thank you for making this review!
Interesting how the boom mic seems to DROP quality of your voice. Not what I expected. Noise gate set to high makes it sound better though.

For that price the microphone is awful

Hola yo tengo los Astro A10 negros y no estoy muy contento ya q me quedan un poco pequeños y después de varias horas de juego me lastiman los oídos.. Estos A30 sería un gran salto sgnifacativo???? Buen video comenzaré a seguirte...

Anybody use these with glasses? Please comment your experience 😊

I had order one of this.. but i surprised me how EXTREME hard the ear cushions are.. it’s like having two bricks on your ears..

there isnt much directional sound which is a buzzkill for me

oof that boom mic tho. I'm amazed that they think that's good enough in 2023 for a $200+ headset.

Make sure u get the app for these will change ur experience with them can adjust as needed for ur liking

Thank you for your review! When using the mobile app to adjust/make sound profiles, are they saved to the headset? ...so if I were to disconnect from bluetooth or use a different bluetooth deivce without the app, does the sound profile persist until changed again from the app? Or does it go into some default sound profile when not connected with the app?

💩💩💩 sound quality for it's price category.
The wireless $150 turtle beach stealth 700 and $159 arctis nova 7x smokes the asstro a30 in imaging, resolution and detail.
The wired $179 epos H6 Pro and $350 VZR model one annihilates ALL wireless headsets.

Ain’t no way I’m paying that for some gaming headphones. That’s half of a ps5

Can this be used with the mixamp?

If only they had a neutral colour way.

I hated this headset when I first got it, bought it on a whim after my new puppy chewed up my last one, but it’s really grown on me since I’ve been using it

Lmao mine didnt even turn on

Lost me when i had to use an app like what? I have a Logitech mouse,keyboard, mousepad, and sim racing setup witch all connect via ghub and wanted to get these to replace my a50s for that reason and detachable mic and better headband and also to get rid of the astro app on my computer

Wow, the fact that I'm not the only one still listening to Solar Sailor is a real surprise, even if it's just for a bass test.

Nice review, and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Why do you remind me of Ryan Reynolds

I been using A50 for a few years now, I’m on the most recent generation, I’m looking to switch up to something new, preferably better audio quality? what’s a good one under 300$

I’m debating between the a30 or the blackshark V2

Your videos are so well done, you deserve a lot more subscribers.

Everybody please listen don’t buy this headset it is junk. I spent $250 on this headset and it doesn’t even work if you enjoying going through a hassle for an hour to try to get it to work and take the gaming experience out please go ahead and get it because this is a rip off and Astros not even helping me out to refund or give me a new headset. I have to work through email to speak to somebody. It took me a month and a half to get anywhere with them and I’m still in the same predicament what is broken headset?

does this work with ps4

Super excited the A30 is back! But kinda sad it doesn't have cloth ear cups. I'm using an A10 currently after selling my A50 because of the crap next gen console support. Very tempted to pick this up!

I currently play with an ASTRO A50 WIRELESS for xbox. Would this be egal in terms of performances ? About to buy a new one tomorrow and just wondering what is better !
