Fantastic headphones, paired with xbox series s
Paired easily with my xbox series s via wireless dongle. They have a “dolby atmos” option which is the surround sound system now used in cinemas, all you have to do to enable this is download the “dolby atmos” app and pay a one off 16 license fee and these headphones then produce the best surround sound I have ever heard for games and movies that are compatible, 5 star all the way for me
Great headset (PS5)
These have been best headset I’ve ever had. Use it with my PS5 and can hear everything around me. Only play Call of Duty so good to hear all footsteps coming my way.
Great headset!
Bought for my partners birthday. His review:
– Great sound quality
– Great fit, comfortable and will be able to wear for a long time (and he has a large head).
– Looks incredible
– Easy connection
We have PS4 and he uses for gentle gaming. Doesn’t use microphone so can’t review.
Overall pleased with this purchase. If only we didn’t have a newborn so he could use them….
Good value
So I waited a while to do my review to be sure I gave an accurate review.
These are really worth the money, they’re lightweight, comfortable and the quality is pretty steady for the money. They can go pretty loud and have a few settings depending on what pitch you’d like to hear the sound, which is easily changeable at the press of a button.
The battery lasts a long time, and I’ve not had any issues with the Bluetooth at all.
If you’re thinking about getting them just do it you won’t be disappointed
Comfortable and great sound
Only had these for a few days, so can’t vouch for durability but they feel pretty sturdy. Comfortable for over 1+ hours and they sound pretty damn good for less than 100 these are very good value for money. Only downside is there is very little in setup instructions for PC.
Accidentally, broke my Sony wireless headset, so had to invest in a new headset, for a similar price and so far, it seems, I, chose well: the sound seems better; the Bluetooth range is superior; more comfy easy enough to navigate the controls/buttons etc.
Seems structurally sound, too.
Very pleased, with my purchase.
I’m a gamer who has tested and used many headsets and my review is based on that fact as well as other facts.
The Astro A20 Gen 2 is simply an amazing headset for the price. The performance definitely punches above it’s price.
The only reason I gave it a 4 Star is because whilst I knew the game/voice balance is not supported, it still would have been good to have it and they’ve included the buttons for it, but just not supported. But I think that’s not Astro’s fault and more to do with Sony Playstation.
The Great:
The sound quality is exactly what you would expect from an Astro headset. I previously had the A50’s which costs 3 times more than the A20. I went through 2 A50’s. First one broke and the other had glitches. Sounded great. And I’ve also tried over 30 different headsets. You name it, I’ve tried them all. The A20’s with the new Astro Audio V2 is simply amazing. There is no Astro command centre software compatibility for the new A20, but you really don’t need it.
I sort of do scientific tests when trying headsets on Call of Duty Warzone and here are the details.
Sound Quality Overall:
Very smooth, not harsh at all even at max volume and perfect clarity and detail. Nice bass (not too much), good kids and very detailed highs.
Footsteps of enemies can be heard from about 34 metres away and clear, and closer they get, louder and more crisp the footsteps sound. In buildings when enemies are on wooden floor, you can hear those thumping footsteps when approaching or in the building yourself.
Imaging/direction/positional audio is perfect. Not just left or right, but also verticality and even precise forward left or back right. It really is that good.
Max volume is also very good. Definitely louder than the previous gen A20 and as loud as the A50. Not deafening, but still very loud.
3 EQ presets to choose from at a press of a button. Astro, Pro and Signature. For clear footsteps use the Astro or Pro, but Astro one is better.
Comfort:
Amazing velour earcups that make you want to wear these forever. It actually has real dense memory inside, compared to the A50 which has normal foam.
Conclusion:
Don’t be fooled into buying headsets that cost 200 or even 300. The A20 Gen 2 does exactly everything those expensive headsets do and compared to some even better. I don’t know if Astro knew they were going to develop the A20’s this good or if it was an accident, but they sure are amazing.
Battery life also is decent at 15+ hours depending on how loud you listen to them.
Overall I highly recommend this headset.
I’m giving my opinion based on using them on the PS5. They work with PS4 & PC too or xbox if you buy the correct version (green). Soo:

I’m going to start by saying my overall experience in a large paragraph before I go into detail, well; I really like their audio, they sound really good for the price and definitely better than the Astro A10s! The mic quality I think is a little downgrade compared to A10s but my friends got used to it by one session of gaming so now it’s fine, but it picks up more background audio than the A10s did for some reason. They are very comfortable, way more comfortable than the A10s BUT if you have a large head then they MIGHT be small for your head. So far I had one random moment when they just turned off and I had to turn them on and they worked fine so I’m not sure what happend there, maybe a glitch? Maybe it lost connection? I’m not sure, I will update ABOVE with date of update if any other issues occur but apart from this, I’d definitely recommend them.

This is key, they have 3 audio pre-sets (EQs) than you can switch between using 1 button and the headset makes noise letting you know which EQ you are using. The EQs are:
_
(1/2/3 information provided by ASTRO GAMING WEBSITE)
_
1. ASTRO: Best mode for all gamers – tuned for gaming by ASTRO’s audio experts. Precise bass for immersion. Balanced mids and highs for the optimal gaming audio experience.
_
2. STUDIO: For music and movies. Neutral for accuracy across a range of media usages.
_
3. PRO: Ideal for streamers and pro gamers. Tuned towards mids and highs for precise details. Optimizes surround sound performance as too much bass can cause spatial distortion.
_
When they are charing the orange light is blinking and when they are fully charged then the orange light is just on and isn’t blinking anymore so it means they are fully charged. So far I didn’t have them run out of battery. Apparently 15+ hours of battery life and it true so far.
–
They don’t cancel much noise meaning you will be able to hear stuff in real life around you and people around you might hear audio from your headset!
–
They are super light on your head which feels amazing and the ear cups are bigger than A10s so your ears fit inside comfortably!
–
Disadvantage of them on PS4/PS5 would be that the Game/Voice buttons are pretty much useless as they don’t do anything because they are only compatible with XBOX and PC.
–
Again I recommend getting these or if you are not in a hurry for a new headset then wait for Astro to drop GEN 5 of A40s/A50s that will be native to PS5 & XSX and buy them, but they will release probably next year.

Oh and yea they connect via usb thing so plug it into your console and pres the button on it so it’s blue for PlayStation and you are ready to game! Thanks for reading, I think I mentioned most things! 🙂 will update if I have any issues or anything I feel like adding to this review! Thanks!
