Often one of the things that most irritates me with the comfort of gaming headsets is the depth of the earcups, but I haven’t had an issue with the Astro A30. It doesn’t feel like there is much breathability in the earcups, so things can get a little warm in there. The earcups are soft memory foam wrapped in what feels like a faux leather material. Tied directly to design, the earcups tilt a couple of degrees for a snug fit and rotate 90 degrees to lie flat when not in use.

It looks like a stylish modern pair of headphones rather than a bulky gaming headset. Thanks to the detachable boom mic, the A30 works pretty well on the go without being overly gamery. Under that tag, though, is a bright, eye-catching iridescent design. The stock A30 tags have a light-blue smoked color to them. On the earcups are removable speaker tags. The Astro A30 headset features a modern design with a boxy shape like many of Astro’s other headsets. The A30 comes with a wireless transmitter, a USB-C to USB-A cable, a detachable boom mic, and a 3.5mm cable.

The A30 also features dual microphones, meaning the detachable boom mic can be used for more intense squad-based gameplay, but on the go, the built-in microphone can handle Bluetooth calls without a massive microphone.Ī handy carrying case can hold the headset along with all of the included accessories. So while out of the box it will only have a wireless transmitter for a single platform, another one can be added if the need arises. Each version comes with a single transmitter that works with the chosen platform, but a separate transmitter for the other gaming platform is available for purchase. When purchasing the $230 headset, there are options for white or navy blue colorways as well as versions for Playstation or Xbox.

With the A30, the aim was to make a multi-purpose headset compatible with any gaming platform.
