      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 :)

    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!

    Hey GadgetryTech could you do a review of these two headsets the Havit H2002D (one of the best selling headsets) and the Redragon Zeus 2?
    My Razer Blackshark V2 X headset stopped working and so I wanted to buy a new headset, but I'm undecided between these two headsets, the Turtle Beach Recon 500 or the HyperX Cloud X, which one do you think I should buy? I wanted to use the microphone of this new headset in Livestreams and PS5.

    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

    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?

    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.

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!

      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.

    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?

    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.

    Great review! You said the headset will play three sources at once without volume reduction like the TBs do. If connected via TRRS to a mobile device for Discord mobile app, and headset is powered on to connect to the console dongle (I have PS5)... Will you still project the highest quality voice to Discord?

I have multiple premium headsets for my XSX… I was between getting the nova pros or the VZR model one, but saw this video and got the A30s an man. These things surprised the shit out of me especially when I messed with the EQ. I wonder what the new A50s will sound like or how much they’ll cost.

    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?

    I just purchased the Mando A30 and have a couple questions I’m hoping you can answer. I’ve tried reaching out to Astro multiple times with no response. Whenever I plug the boom mic in while the headset is on, the mic doesn’t work. I have to turn the headset off, insert the mic, and then turn in on. Is this normal for these headsets? Also, I use them on my PS4. I have the PS4 set to auto detect. However, the PS4 thinks the headset is connected all the time while transmitter is connected. This is the first time I’ve had this issue. These are my first pair of Astro’s. Thank you.

    So purely on sound which is better A30 or A20??
    I think for £230 if the sound is night and day difference compared to the A20, then I might try it out

      It's not a night and day difference, but it is slightly better. You know what's funny? I also thought the Astro A20 Gen 2 sounded better than the A50s! So considering you and I have a similar ear, I can say the A30 does sound better. It depends on what you listen to of course, but to me, the A30 is the best headset Astro has out right now.

      @@GadgetryTech Hey Joe, so following our conversation here, my Astro A20 Gen 2 has developed a fault and now I need a new headset, but not sure what to get and kind of put off the A20 now as I didn’t expect it to go wrong only after a year and a half
      I primarily care about footsteps, so which headset do you highly recommend for a maximum of £200?
      I was going to get the A30 however, I watched your comparison video again between the A30, Nova 7 and Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max, but seems like the A30 falls behind in competitive games, unless you tell me that if I like the A20 Gen 2 I’ll like the A30 with a bit of tuning. You did say above the A30 sounds better than the A20, but let me know if you meant that in an immersion or competitive sound profile
      Again, I primarily care about footsteps, so I would really appreciate your recommendation
      Also, if you have played the new MW2, please base your recommendation on the MW2 sound engine if you have tried a variety of headsets on that game

    So I have a serious question because I truly love my game chat mix on my wireless headset for my ps4. Unfortunately they won't work on my ps5. Are they any wireless headsets for the ps5 that has a working game chat mix that works besides the pulse or the inzone? Thank you in advance.

    • @GadgetryTech
      @GadgetryTech  2 роки тому

      I answered your question on the other video as well, but here's my answer here in case:
      Only Sony Inzone H7 and H9s do outside of their cheap Pulse 3D headset. Sony doesn't allow 3rd party companies to use game-to-chat mix which is a terrible move but that's what we're stuck with for now.
