While the A20s are more comfortable, playing Gran Turismo 7 with the new A10’s made it easier to tell where rivals were at in relation to me while also making engine sound effects more crisp. The revamped Astro A10 sounds fantastic, with a more robust sound across a variety of games. Sound stays in the chamber better and there’s nowhere near as much audio leakage as a larger over-the-ear design. They do produce a far better seal than the first-generation versions, though. For those with larger ears, the cups can feel constricting. If someone has smaller ears, the smaller cup size makes it seal better around the ear.

The driver size decrease enables the earcup itself to be smaller and that’s going to be a better option for some. The new 32mm driver delivers higher-quality sound than the original’s 40mm driver. The second-generation versions have a smaller driver size - which is more good than it is bad for the user. This results in a lighter feeling on the head. The immediate feel on the head is different between the two as the original over the ear design in the first-gen headset has larger earcups that go over the ear more completely. Comparing the new A10s to the A20s, which are essentially just a wireless version of the original A10s, is interesting. The traditional black has been revamped with a different shade of green, while grey is the option we went with to visually mix things up. White and red is available for those wanting something that wouldn’t be out of place for a Mass Effect junkie. The second-generation headset has been redesigned to have a more curved look with a wider array of colors available. The goal was to also keep quality control high to avoid customers having to re-buy a device - something that has held true with the new versions and their replaceable parts.
The original A10 was a value-oriented option at a time when the Astro brand was being used for premium-priced headsets, and they wanted to craft something that was both affordable and not prohibitively expensive. With the revamped A10s, they’re aiming to blend high-quality with sustainability.
Astro has been behind some of the industry’s best headsets over the past decade, and with Logitech’s resources behind them they’ve been able to expand what they do.
