The Xbox-focused model I am reviewing features green accents, and the other A10 models gives you a choice of color accents: red, blue, or - for an extra $10 - Call of Duty camo. Its plastic is charcoal gray too, which looks a bit classier and upscale than plain black in my opinion. The earcups are heavily padded, and inside the plastic-covered headband is a steel frame. The Astro A10 does not look or feel like a cheap, budget headset. It loses the MixAmp adapter and ships with a 3.5mm audio cable and a splitter cable. There's also a $59.99 vanilla Astro A10, which is meant for PCs, Macs and the PS4. A second audio cable is included that lets you use the headset with PCs, Macs, PS4, phones, and tablets - any device with a 3.5mm audio jack. The MixAmp M60 is an adapter for Xbox controllers that provides volume controls and the ability to balance the audio levels of game sounds and your voice chat. I am reviewing an Xbox-centric model (but will work on PC and PS4), the $99.99 Astro A10 + MixAmp M60. I took it for a spin to see how a budget headset from Astro stacks up against its competition, which includes the HyperX Cloud Stinger, Plantronics Rig 400, Roccat Cross, and Turtle Beach Recon 50. Astro's A10 Gaming Headset (See it on Amazon) / (See it on Amazon UK)represents the company's expansion into lower-end of the spectrum. Or at least, it used to be high-end only. It does one thing and one thing only: high-end gaming headsets. If you have shopped for a gaming headset for more than two seconds, then you’ve likely encountered the Astro name.
