      I got these today, just a question was wandering if you noticed or could check on yours.. When the boom mic is plugged in, if you try and move it, bend it away from your mouth, does it do the horrible scratchy, static noise from the connected end? Like when you plug/unplug it you hear it, but mine does it slightly when I try and adjust the positioning. Hope that makes sense! Thanks in advance :)

    After watching at least 50 videos in the last 7 days a bothersome situation arose once again
    All over UA-cam are “reviews” of not just headsets but essentially everything-obviously
    But most of them are brand ambassadors on the DL
    they get sent these products free of charge therefore creating a review video that is completely biased giving the viewer and altered perception of reality
    It is wildly frustrating. Essentially leaving me with more questions than before. Which in turn makes it that much harder to pick a dam headset
    Your videos are long but you do numerous tests and showcase every detail well
    So I thank you for your efforts

    Man, the Astro A30 charged to 100% in just one hour, and when I first used it, it was at 40% but then I used it to 5%. It's an incredible headset. While it might not blast music as loudly, even with EQ adjustments on your phone, it really amps up the excitement when connected for gaming. I'm absolutely loving this headset, no question about it!

    DUDE 18:50 you literally just sold the headset to me. I need a headset that can hear PS5 and PC at the same time. I noticed the mic breakdown though. When connected to multiple devices does the mic prioritize a connection over another? I was kind of hoping to use the headset on PC with the wireless dongle for Discord and PS5 through the aux cable but don't really want to use the mic on PS5. Or is the mic simultaneous with aux as well as wireless and BT?

    hey mate, first video I've watched from you. Really enjoyed the production value and quality of delivery. The PC gaming headset market is competitive and overwhelming with what's out there. Often hard to find a great headset wireless headset for a medium budget is challenging as there are so many flaws with headsets in 2022 that get so much right, but still a few things wrong is astonishing. Can you do a video for the medium-medium high budget wireless PC gaming headset? For example, the razer sharks look great, apparently sound great, but their earmuffs have to keep being adjusted after sliding down...and other products that compete have equivalent flaws. Would be good to get a great comparison to see what comes out on top.

      Oh man that's tough! It's close enough where it can be subjective. I like the A30 a lot even though it isn't perfect. It has a fun sound with bass and treble but isn't a big upgrade with regards to footsteps, which is something the A50s were pretty decent at. I would consider the Nova Pro Wireless or the Maxwell if you want a more substantial upgrade.

    Man, I bought this headset based a lot off this review, for my wife. She was excited about the design. Less than 1/2 hour in, she wanted to go back to her Stealth 700 G2 on Xbox. Wow, neither of us have ever been so let down in tech. The mic is awful and in a squad of 6, she sounded the worst by a mile. That and the physical positioning of the mic is a nightmare. She’s a smaller woman, so it fit well, and she didn’t mind the terrible controls as much as I did… but the style is the singular thing this headset does better than even the Xbox brand set - at 100$. What a terrible product this is. The app does seem to function on iPhone today, 11/1/2022. But it’s still gonna leave you wishing you spent 30$ less on the far far better Stealth 700 G2 Max, which is for sure what replaced this set for her.

    Still rocking the Audeze Penrose x!! is there anything at the 200-300 price point that matches their audio quality? I was previously using Arctis pro's with DAC and A40 with astro game amp. But the Penrose audio wise has crushed everything else I have tried so far. What about the A30's are they a step above the A40's/50's ? Why segment do this fill, or should I say who are these for?

    I've been searching all over for the answer to this question... For console gaming using a wired headset means plugging into the wireless controller (for the most part). That being said what produces better sound an affordable wired headset like HyperX CloudX plugged into the controller or a wireless headset like the A30's via 2.4ghz dongle plugged directly into the console? I know you have be be careful which wired headset you use because the controller can only output so much power. Thank you!

    I personally loathe flip to mute, because it leaves you with 1 of 2 things.
    Either a mic that has basically a fixed, hinged drop with very little adjustability - or a mic that eventually wears out and starts dropping from over use. I prefer a button of some type.

    Impressed with the review. I am a long time a50 owner and desperate for a refresh as the loss of optical with migration to xbox x has killed the sound quality on the a50. I am really hoping for a refresh 🙏 but I won't touch any headset without a flip to mute option as otherwise its a deal breaker for me. Here is hoping....

    Do we know what frequency the headsets work over their dongle? These bad boys are $400 in Australia ($254USD) so I gotta be sure there wont be any frequency issues.
    When you say the A30's sound better than the A40's, is that with or without the mixamps?

    Hey I just found your channel a few days ago and I've watched tons of your reviews. I bit the bullet and got the a50s and the arctis nova 7, and I love the A50s but it feels weird buying a 3 year old headset with half the battery life, no bluetooth, outdated support, etc. The Astro employees who comment on reddit are kind of suggesting the A30s are close to the A50... what do you think? I'd definitely prefer a more modern feature set but I do like fuller sound. Cheers mate, can't wait for the next head to head!

      The Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max should probably be in that list. One of the best mics out of any wireless headsets. I'm personally deciding between Nova 7x and TB Gen 2 Max. I think the A30 are just too expensive for what they offer.
