![]() ![]() The A20 is a somewhat cheaper option within the Astro brand. For about € 120, – you can drop this product into your shopping cart and enjoy it. Remarkable because it offers quite a lot for that price. The sound is simply very good! You have a button on the headset that allows you to switch between three sound profiles, the aforementioned equilizer button. When you click you will hear a number of beeps in succession, so that you know exactly on which profile you are, very handy. The first profile, which you may also see as the ‘normal’ of this headset, gives a nice full sound while it remains pure. The solid bass does not drown out the mids too much and the higher tones are also set in a good way. This offers a very nice all-round sound with a decent bass while the rest of the tones remain pure enough. On the left earcup you have the microphone that you can mute when you flip it up. You will feel a slight click, so that you will also notice when you are really muted. On the right earcup you have some buttons with which you can operate the headset. Think of switching on and off, an equalizer button, which I will discuss in more detail, and a volume button. With the volume button you have buttons below and above that can mix the voice chat of your party with the game sound. Although we did not get it to work, it is intuitively placed on the headset. Maybe the functionality of this will be improved with an update, but for now we don’t get very far. We'll see if, with use, the longevity will be better (and the autonomy won't plunge.The Astro A20 has a slightly slimmer version than what you are used to from the A40 or A50. It still retains the industrial look, although it is more sleek in design. The headset is somewhat rectangular due to a fairly straight headband and has a rubber cushion for your head. This could be a bit thicker, because the tire doesn’t offer much suspension, making it feel a bit harder on the top of your head. With some getting used to, this will eventually not be a problem, at least for me, but I can imagine that it can disturb others. Fortunately, we have nothing to say about the fabric earcups, which are very comfortable, so you actually have a headset that fits comfortably on your head. I wanted to try wireless, and it's just ok. I kind of miss my 2 old wired headphones: a HyperX HX-HSCA-RD Cloud Alpha and especially my very comfortable Sennheiser PC 360. No manual mic mute (which would be useful to mute the mic during asides) Quality of the microphone is ok, but not more (in standard configuration) ![]() Also, it is a bit hard and after a long use (+2h), I found the inner lining of the headband a little bit too hard. Hot! Beware, if you are in a hot place, the plastic on top of the head will make you sweat. You have to search forums/websites to find out how this headset works, and how to adjust it/use the buttons on it. Quite a compact package, and gives a good impression of quality. Good range, yes, the advertised 15m is correct, but of course not with a blockhouse between you and the transmitter PC ![]() Without being a featherweight, this headset is quite light if you take into account the battery that is inside. can be worn with glasses (if the temples are not too thick) Moreover, the 2 earpieces respect the ears and are deep enough not to compress them especially around, which is appreciable on long listening sessions. Comfortable, enveloping earpieces that help to isolate from the outside world. ![]()
