Logitech G Astro A30 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headphones, Bluetooth, Navy Blue

If you’re thinking about buying these, do yourself a favor and don’t. After researching gaming headsets for a little over a month, I’ve realized there isn’t a SINGLE company that puts out a decent product, and Logitech/Astro is no exception. Most gaming headsets have countless negative reviews, and you will not find one where people can confidently say, “This is a great headset or no issues and great value for $300.” I finally settled on the A30s because every headset I looked at had complaints, so I figured I’d just have to pick one and hope for the best. I assumed people might just be overly critical, but I was wrong. These A30s are actual junk… First off, I’m already experiencing major issue not even a week in. The USB transmitter constantly loses connection. I specifically bought these for Xbox (as advertised on the box), but it randomly detects itself as being connected to PlayStation or PC. This is despite the USB being directly plugged into my Xbox, which shows how bad the hardware is. Another annoyance is that, to use the headset wirelessly with the mixer/controller for volume and channels, you need to connect it to your phone via Bluetooth. This is ridiculous. If you set the headset down and walk away, you have to remember to disconnect it from your phone. There’s nothing better than getting a phone call blasting in your ear while gaming…. On top of that, I’ve experienced the common issue where these things just won’t turn off. Holding the power button does nothing. To turn them off, you have to unplug the USB transmitter, reconnect it three or four times, and then re-pair them, just to power them off. If you plan on using these wired, don’t bother. The audio quality is terrible, and the 3.5mm cable it comes with seems faulty (which maybe why the audio is so bad wired) I constantly have to twist the cable to get the audio to come through correctly. You’d think $300 would get you a solid pair of gaming headphones, but you’d be wrong. Do yourself a favor and avoid these. They’re nothing but problems. I’d probably go with the Steel Series Novas if I could go back in time..

Stay away from this headset. IT IS NOT PLUG AND PLAY. You will need a degree in computer science and 10+ years of IT troubleshooting to figure out how to solve the long list of issues that come up nonstop like PC refusing to recognize headset with usb dongle, maybe if it does decide to recognize it after a pc restart now the mic won't be recognized or work. Use that money on anything not Astro or Logitech headset because there was no QA done with this premium priced product.

Ugh I hate these things but my son loves them!! The cancel outside noise out. He doesn’t even know he’s talking loud bc he can’t hear himself. The battery life is awesome. They don’t feel cheap at all and the weight is good

Audio quality is great and the mic works well. Connects to my Mobile, Xbox and PC. Sometimes it can get confused with phone calls coming in while connecting to more than one other device. you may have to power it off and on to fix it . On Xbox it works amazing . On Pc it uses a Windows - generic usb audio driver. At first I Couldn’t get spatial Audio to work on windows 10 so then I upgraded to 11 and it’s available. The PC recognizes it as (game speakers) and (voice headset) . This looks to be wrong because my A50’s game and voice are both classified as (headsets) . Waiting on a new independent driver from Astro so the lighting usb dongle connection is recognized properly . I guess it’s new so not everything is worked out yet. I still have it working ok. I would like a mic boost too it seems to be quiet in Xbox game bar for pc . But like I said no problems on Xbox just some pc kinks I think they need to address . They need an independent driver for the lighting dongle and this would probably resolve everything on pc . I did reach out to Astro to let them know. Also if it every freezes and won’t power down I found holding the power and Bluetooth to enter dongle pairing mode then it can be powered down .I’m sure it will also be addressed in an update to the firmware.

I've been using these for a few months now, and when they work, they're great. Audio quality is good, and wireless range is decent. But they are incredibly frustrating to use. Audio levels are constantly changing at random. I'll be chatting with my friends during a game and they'll tell me all of a sudden they can't hear me, and I have to unplug and plug the usb or the mic to fix it. Sometimes the volume on the earphones will randomly crank to max and make my ears bleed, until I touch the volume rocker once and it resets back to where it was. Sometimes they just straight up turn off (while fully charged) in the middle of a game, show, or mid conversation. I ended up having to completely disconnect them from my phone, because having it connected to bluetooth and pc simultaneously made them completely unusable from the number of audio bugs it caused (every single notification on my phone would mess up all the audio settings and require unplug-replug to fix). If they didn't have these bugs, they'd be a 4 or 5 star easily, but as is I can't recommend them.
