The A30 ergonomic design is perfected from years of experience crafting headsets for long game sessions. Cushy memory foam in the ear pads and headband.
I love them all the controls that you can do from your phone and the sound quality is brilliant! I would put at 5 star if it wasn’t for the microphone problem that keeps occurring where it just doesn’t work at all on the Xbox. It’s fixable by just taking out the usb adapter and plugging it back in and then it works fine but can be quite annoying to do. Other than that they’re amazing
Absolutely happy with purchase . Headset adapter just went off and wouldn’t work . I contacted customer service and was absolutely fantastic received replacement headset same day as I contacted at 4.am . Couldn’t ask for a more efficient service thankyou so much definitely would recommend
I recently got this Logitech G Astro headset and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The Bluetooth connection provides an easy and reliable connection with almost no lag or sound interference. The sound quality is excellent, with crystal clear audio and a deep, immersive bass. The Dolby Atmos technology provides an immersive experience, making it easy to pick up subtle nuances in sound.
The headset is also extremely comfortable to wear, with thick foam padding and adjustable earcups. The detachable boom microphone is also great, allowing you to easily adjust the microphone to your desired level of clarity. The battery life is also incredible, lasting up to 27 hours on a single charge, making it great for long gaming sessions.
The best part is that this headset is compatible with a wide range of gaming platforms, including PS5, PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android, making it a great choice for any gamer. It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, making it easier to charge your headset on the go. Its a great choice for anyone looking for a wireless gaming headset.
I brought these headphones for my son for gaming on the PC, very difficult to set up we cant get them working 100% very technical to sort for a young boy and I have not got a clue about what to do. He struggles to hear when he is talking and cant turn the volume up or down for some reason. Maybe I would suggest a degree for installation. I asked for support and it was sent via email on how to set up as we were struggling and even following the instructions from them was difficult. Now in the process of a return and refund.
I’ve tested and tried many headsets in my lifetime and I’d say the Astro A30s rank up near the top of my headset list. First, I’ll list off the things I love about this headset – it feels super lightweight and does not leave that annoying dent in your hair. The clasp around the ears are super nice and tight without being uncomfortable, definitely the best headset I’ve had in terms of noise isolation simply from the clasp of the headset. Another really cool feature is the Bluetooth connectivity. Not only that but you can have dual connectivity to your pc/xbox and phone at the same time, this was a really cool feature to be able to hear phone notifications while gaming. Of course you can turn this off. Not only can you use these as your gaming headset, but also your daily headset for on the go travel and music. And speaking of the music, the sound on these things are great for it out of the box. Logitech claims that these have about 27 hours of battery life and so far that seems to be accurate. USB-C charging is a huge plus as well and I’m glad its now a standard in most headsets. Also comes with a Detachable mic which sounds decent, it’s not going to beat your average USB microphone, but its definitely one the better headset microphones. Now for a two things that I didn’t like about these headphones. As far as I can tell, you can ONLY use the Logitech mobile app to adjust audio settings. The Astro app on the PC does not currently work with these headsets. My other complaint is that I had to do some manual EQ tuning for most games, which to be fair, I’ve had to do that with most of my headsets but a list of presents on the app would be really nice. These headphones have a lot to offer to not only gamers, but also music lovers. Sound is amazing, lightweight but nice and comfortable, Bluetooth connectivity is great, and the battery life is long lasting. Very few cons.
As far as looks go, these look great. I wanted ones that were a bit on the smaller side so I chose these. the white colour looks really and goes with my gaming area. Sound wise they’re really good. using the dongle I didn’t have any issues and bluetooth was fine on my phone. I appreciated the app to change EQ settings rather than something I had to install on my computer. Via bluetooth I have connected these to a Mac, a PC and an iPhone and they’ve worked great. I have to admit though, for the price you’re not getting that much more over say a turtle beach gen 2 max. I do love that you can buy a separate dongle for an Xbox if you own one too. I had to buy it directly from astro and it works great, even though if you switch between consoles you have to remember to re-pair the headset to each dongle connected to each console.
The headset isn’t as comfortable as I was hoping it would be. Especially if you wear glasses. you’ll find yourself constantly fiddling with the fit to get them on your head just right.
Overall though im glad I have these but there are headsets out there with similar sound quality and features but a lot cheaper and some that are a lot more comfortable.
I love how versatile this headset is, especially with the volume control between game and voice chat. But as a gaming headset why the hell does it not support the PC GHUB app, the main reason I went Logitech was because the rest of my stuff is there, but if I want to check my battery or change audio profile I have to switch to Bluetooth? Either a major oversight or a way to push their new mobile app. Why not support both.
Definetly these Wireless Headset is aimedfor gamers. The connection is flexible, can be made via Bluetooth or Wireless 2.4ghz or 3.5 mm aux.
It has an excellent battery life that would not letting you down, +27hours of use.
Can be used on any device like PC, PS5,PS4, XB series X/S, nintendo switch or other portable gaming devices.
Can be used for gaming but for other purposes also like MS teams meetings, listen music, movies and other purposes.
It has a high quality design and features that will not dissapoint you.
Arrived very well presented and packaged.
Would make a wonderful gift for a teenager or for any gamer.
I would highly recommend it.
I am absolutely delighted with these Logitech G Astro A30 gaming headphones. They are packed with a raft of features while being very user friendly. Included with the headphones is a LIGHTSPEED USB-A transmitter, good quality case, boom mic, charging cable and audio cable for using the headphones plugged in. The memory foam ear pads and adjustable headband provide an extremely comfortable listening experience. The sound quality is excellent and seems tailored to delivering audio which is balanced in a way that does not rapidly cause listening fatigue due to the mid range and high frequencies being too prominent. The bass is ample and stereo imaging is well defined. I have used them connected via Bluetooth and find using the included 2.4ghz LIGHTSPEED preferable in terms of no discernible signal latency when connected that way. Both the built in mic and plug on boom mic work effectively and it is noticeable that the boom mic has more gain. There is also a switch to enable the user to mute the microphones. The headset connects rapidly regardless of which wireless method is used and is easily discoverable when initially pairing to a Bluetooth enabled device. Battery life is quoted as being in excess of 27 hours, I have not run them right down but have certainly used them for over 20 hours between charges with no issues. For gaming they are great, the ample low frequency output certainly enhances the gaming experience. For general music and video conferencing they also perform very well and the sound is contained so doesn’t annoy other people in close proximity. It is possible to mix and balance audio from multiple devices simultaneously. The speaker tags are customisable to allow the user to personalise the headphones. I really like that these headphones are packed with many features and options while also being very easy to set up and use if the user does not need to engage with all of the available functions. The small multi function joystick on the bottom of the RH ear cup is a great feature and saves having to fiddle around on the source device to alter the sound volume. Having used these headphones many times now I have not found any negatives in terms of features or their performance. They are in my opinion a great set of wireless headphones which work very well with many types of devices. The build quality is evident and I have no hesitation in providing a five star review and recommending them.
– Excellent premium headset
– – very comfortable to wear and fits just perfect over the ears and it feels just great, very happy on that end
– Packaging is well maintained and very neat
– – Sound Quality very good (very good spatial sound), works perfectly fine, great sound and music
– Thickness is also good, no problem with that
– – Built quality is very good (great foams)
-27hrs plus music/gameplay time (impressive spec)
— Pricing is very good at 229.99
– Black is my favourite colour, great colour of choice
– – Clear mic quality
Cons:
– Ears become really warm overtime (4+ hours) and feels less comfortable after, had that experience but can be subjective (as I have sensitive ears)
Overall, these headphones are really good in terms of sound quality and built quality. Used it a lot for for gaming and talking to my family back home that live away, great results. Dolby sound works perfect, love the heavy bass effect, very loud and definitely better than the ps headset. Listening to music also done justice, had tremble and bass effect whilst playing games.
The sound is spectacular and the microphone quality is amazing. I could be heard without any latency issuesbugs or dropouts and throughout my experience, I had clear calls.
Charging speed is also impressive, a 10min charge on thse Logitech headset gave me 60min. So good results.
Pricing at 229.99 is well priced for the impressive spec that I am getting. I’m getting 27hrs+ of use time with very good built quality and also good Dolby atomos sound enabled which I would say are very impressive features at this price point.
It fits very well, it adjusts by itself and I liked that little cool feature about it; these gaming based headphones are very good to wear, they are comfortable but after, my ears do start to get irritated and this may be due to my sensitive ears but quality is good.
Would Prefer these over the new Sony H7 gaming headphones at almost similar price just because of the heavy bass and Dolby Atmos enabled as well.
Also, Packaging came really well and the fit on the headphones are very good on but my ears to get exposed to a lot of trapped heat overtime and does heat my ears. Yet, wonderful headphones and would definitely recommend , hope this helps to find your headphones!
Wow these headphones are amazing, I have been using these for the past week and they are so comfy on my head. Normally with wearing glasses most headsets hurt my head however I have had no issues with these so far.
The sound and quality of these are fantastic and they really look great, you have the option of using the built in mic or the plug in mic, I found both picked my voice up well.
They can be wireless via the dongle or you have the option of the 3.5mm wire which is provided also.
Overall I would recommend them.
Other than my Galaxy buds live, the headset I was previously using is around the 60 mark. I thought it was decent enough with good bass and trebles, but the Astro A30’s have blown me away.
The bass on the A30’s is really good while keeping the trebles/voice crystal clear. On my old headset I never realised the bass was muddying them, and it has been a real eye(ear) opener.
You can change the settings, equalizer etc via the app. Sadly at the time of writing, the scan code provided in the manual does not work, but you can grab the Logitech G app from your phone’s store.
I am using it on my PS5 with the wireless dongle provided and on my PC via Bluetooth. It works perfectly on both. Sadly for my Xbox I had to use the provided 3.5mm aux cable with the pad, but you can buy a separate dongle for the Xbox(You get the choice of either a PS5 or Xbox dongle when you purchase). The A30’s can connect three sources at the same time, and seems to switch automatically between my PS5 and xbox, when I power on/off either.
There are two mics on the headset. One is built in and the other is a detachable boom mic. I can be heard clearly and the noise cancellation does a good job with the boom mic attached. Although the boom mic is clearer, using the built-in mic you can still be heard clearly, but the noise suppression is not as good.
Besides the USB dongle, you get a boom mic, 3.5mm aux cable, a USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and a beautiful quality hard case/bag to put it all in. The whole thing comes nicely packaged. I like the security tab, that really does show if your box has been opened, as you have to tear the tab off to open it.
The headset looks stunning and is of amazing quality. The outside of the headphone part which they call custom speaker tags, is detachable and held on with strong magnets. These can be swapped out for some lovely looking ones, but I really do like the look of it when you just have them removed. It is a beautiful bronze colour that really catches the light. The ear pad part is the same and held on by magnets, but as of now I do not see alternative colours etc, so i assume that will be coming sometime.
You get the usual buttons such as power, mute, Bluetooth, but you also get a very cool mini thumbstick type of a button. This can be moved left, right, up and down in order to change volume, skip tracks etc.
There were no cut outs and the distance when I was using the dongle was quite impressive; it was still working in my kitchen, which is about 25 feet away. A full charge should also get you around 27 hours usage.
As you may have guessed, I love this headset. I think it looks great, is very comfortable to wear and sounds amazing.
Priced at 230 at time of review, this headset is 100% aimed at gamers. They’ll play music from Amazon Music HD etc. and can be used for Teams meetings with the boom microphone, but that’s not getting the best from this headset.
I had “Dolby Atmos for Headphones” installed on my Windows 10 PC (15 from Microsoft Store) and the Atmos demos such as ‘Leaf’ and sound from games like Forza were amazing. This was using the 2.4Ghz (dongle supplied).
Gamer features such as mixing sources and ‘sidetone’ to get your voice played into the headset are supported. I had no problem getting game audio on 2.4Ghz wireless while the mobile phone was connected on Bluetooth. Note you can’t simultaneously connect two Bluetooth sources. Also there’s scant information on which Bluetooth codecs such as Apt.X the headset supports.
Other features include magnetically attached ear pads and magnetically attached side covers over the iridescent graphics. Each cup has a large L or R inside so you can’t put these on the wrong way. Isolation from external noise is excellent, however that does mean your ears can feel hot.
Charging is by USB-C and battery life is good. There’s the usual app to adjust EQ profiles, update firmware and mixer percentages. The plastics feel of good quality and the ear pads are soft and comfortable. I have quite a large head and the headset fitted will without making me feel it was clamped on.
Some annoyances are the fiddly four-way joystick to set volume etc. and the somewhat confusing app. Also, when changing settings you just get beeps; with Jabra you get in-ear announcements of what’s happening.
All in all, if you are looking for an immersive gaming experience that shows off Dolby Atmos then you won’t be disappointed by this headset.
Just when I thought nothing from another brand would take on either the Bose 700 or the Sony XM4, along comes this. Now I won’t even bother trying to compare with lower priced headsets and headphones, since there’s little point given the price point of these (230 at time of review).
It seems Logitech are jumping in with Astro A30. So this is primarily a gaming headset and indeed it even comes with a boom mic which you can optionally attach.
My first test was to pitch this up against the other two for music quality, and to be fair. I would say there’s very little in it between the 3 of them. Having swapping in and out a few times, I can’t really give a definitive winner, but to say the clarity of the sound is right up there and definitely good enough to justify the price tag.
Sound isolation is really good on these, and when wearing them, you are pretty much shielded off from outside distraction. Note I said “sound isolation here”.
In terms of connectivity, you have the choice of using a USB-A dongle for “lightspeed technology” or bluetooth. I’d suggest using the dongle as first choice if you are using a PC or anything which supports this option.
In terms of voice quality, I decided to try video call and worked well with the boom mic, producing what I’ve been told is a good quality audio.
In terms of lag for gaming, I definitely didn’t notice any issues myself playing a few games, with everything just as quick as when I’m using my wired speakers.
Overall, this an awesome gaming headset, and if you’re looking to spend 200+ on a pair, then I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Yes you can get a decent pair for a lot less money, but if you value supreme sound quality and are prepared to pay within this price bracket, then I do recommend these very highly!
Well, these are the bees knees and then some! Wow, wow, wow! Now I’m no expert by any means, but these blow my 60 headphones out of the water.
They’re stylish, they’re amazingly comfortable, they are noise cancelling, they have untold features, which I’m still working my way around. To help with this they have their own APP, which allows you to adjust all sorts of setting depending on your use/activity. They have a great little mic too, they’re wireless and the battery life is excellent!
Honestly, my daughter took one look and is ‘borrowing them’ to game with her friends. She’s already been in three times to tell me how amazing they are, so of she says it, I believe her!
I genuinely can’t fault them. Absolutely recommended – look no further!
Stylistically I can’t fault the headset at all, with a nice premium finish, comfortable for long periods and a nice hardened case for good measure. Astro has been reluctant to include Bluetooth functionality, but this time they have a product which is truly multifunctional. In fact you can use the aux cable, 2.4ghz wireless & Bluetooth simultaneously. Overkill? Maybe, but going from the bare bones functions of previous models, I’ll take this new approach.
Now onto the sound. I have recently been using the Steelseries Nova Pro Wireless, which is a great headset, but I’ve got to be honest – I much prefer the Astros. Not just in terms of comfort & ease of use, but the Astros signature sound is superior. The Nova’s are quite sharp sounding, with the audio often becoming too busy. The separation is much better on the A30s. The soundstage & directional audio is quite similar between the two, but the A30s have more bass. Much more bass in fact. The A50s may seem to have more bass than the A30s, but those could be quite boomy. It’s a much tighter bass on the A30s.
The headset default EQ is set to immersion mode in the phone app settings, which for me doesn’t need tinkering with at all. Out-the-box you’re good to go.
Very easy to set-up with your phone using the app & on Xbox it is straightforward also.
I’m really trying to think of any negatives but none spring to mind. I did think the small joystick control would prove too fiddly, but even that has surpassed my expectations.
Overall I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase. 230 isn’t exactly cheap for a headset, but considering I’ve spent considerably more in the past, for inferior products compared to the A30s, I feel they are appropriately priced. So turn off the gas & electric for a couple of days & you should be able to afford it!
