Time has caught up to Astro. For years, it was one of the few companies focused on gaming headsets-and as a result, it got away with charging a premium. The $300 Astro A50 is still a great headset, but that price looks increasingly ridiculous when companies like Logitech (which now owns Astro) and...

The Astro A10 won't win any beauty contests, but compromising looks to focus on audio seems to have paid off here-it sounds way better than its $60...

Astro have been a premium brand for headsets for years, previously you would need to have spent over the ￡100 mark to own a pair of these. This headset is the company's first debut into the world of budget headsets and they have hit it out the park.

Deviating from its premium offerings, Astro's A10 Gaming Headset still delivers a quality aural experience without breaking the bank.

Strong sound for the price; Comfortable; durable build; Smart flip-to-mute mic

No surround sound

After using bud ear phones with mike this is a step up. Sturdy well made headset. Reasonable priced from Mightyape.

Gaming has become more popular than ever and accessories have gotten much cheaper. Headphones even more so. Astro Gaming in particular has made a name for itself by making some of the best gaming headphones on the market hands down.

By incorporating audio technology from headsets that cost $200 more than the A10, Astro has crafted one of the best-sounding affordable gaming headsets.

Excellent sound quality for the price; Good mic; Durable design; Simple installation

Can be uncomfortable after prolonged use; No surround sound

Astro isn't often associated with the term 'budget-friendly' but at just over £50, the A10 certainly won't break the bank. The headset doesn't try to be anything it isn't; it's cheap and cheerful. It can be used across a range of platforms, and it works well enough to be worth the price.
