Next-gen consoles are nearly here, so it’s about time that we started seeing gaming gear designed for the latest generation of console gaming. And for that, Astro Gaming comes to the rescue with the announcement of the Astro A20 Wireless Gaming Headset. It’s the second generation of the wireless gaming headset, and it’s been rethought and redesigned for next-gen gaming.
What’s more, is that Astro Gaming has packed the headset with better tech and is offering it for a better price. The A20s are going to feature increased wireless range, a longer battery life, and a more discreet USB transmitter in the latest version. And Astro Gaming is planning on building the entire line of gaming headsets to be compatible with both the new Xbox and PlayStation consoles (and, of course, PCs).
Interested gamers can already pre-order the Astro A20 Wireless Gaming Headset available for $119.99. It will ship out in October. The USB transmitter for consoles will cost $19.99 and will get you ready to game on Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
These headsets look premium and the design is what’s expected from Astro Gaming—durable, comfortable, and high-performing.
Here’s what’s been upgraded since the last iteration of the A20 headset:
ASTRO Comfort and Quality – Engineered for marathon gaming sessions, the ASTRO A20 is comfortable, durable, lightweight, and easily adjustable.
ASTRO Audio V2 – Designed to produce detailed, true-to-life game audio, ASTRO Audio V2 provides a natural, smooth sound through an extended frequency range. Tuned for Gaming to deliver non-fatiguing highs, clear mids, and distortion-free bass.
15m Wireless Range – The ASTRO A20 features 2.4GHz technology that provides secure wireless connectivity and up to 15m (50 ft) of wireless range.
Battery Life – Play for extended sessions with 15+ hours of battery life. Recharge the headset using the included USB-C to USB-A cable.
Flip to Mute Mic – The ASTRO A20’s highly precise boom mic offers Flip to Mute functionality which mutes voice output and conveniently stows the microphone when not in use.
EQ Presets – Three EQ mode presets are available, including ASTRO which is tuned with precise bass for general gaming; PRO is tuned for precise mid and high detail for streaming and pro gaming; STUDIO is neutral for accuracy and best for movies and music.
If we get our hands on a set of these bad boys, be sure that GameTyrant will let you know how they work across the platforms and how they hold up to comparable gaming headsets from competitors.
