Astro A10 Gaming Headset (White) Refurbished

(Slight tldr pros and cons below) I’ve had the first gen since 2018 and when I saw the second gen I just had to get them and put old reliable in retirement. As of first getting the gen 2 and writing this review I have loved the 2 gen. Both comfortable and light as well as decent color selection but it’s easier if I do pros and cons Pros 1. Super durable I have twisted them and put them to the test just like my first and still retained it’s shape and no signs of cracks anywhere 2. Comfortability I have worn these headsets for hours on in and I can say for sure it feels like I’m not even wearing them but still feel really secure to my head 3. Easy to clean (can’t say how easy since I have no need to clean them yet other than hair 4. Price I mean you can’t beat a good durable headset for 40-60$ 5. Compatibility works great on my PC, Xbox and my switch but I hardly use headphones for the switch anyways And now onto some cons 1. The headphone jack (atleast for gen 1) is like playing Russian roulette could work up to a year or break next month most notably the audio slider could have it all the way up and only one ear has audio slightly bring it down and both work (recommend getting spare cords Amazon does sell them) 2. Lack of options (more a personal attack) wish there were options for no mics or wireless since I use a different mic for talking And lastly mixed opinion is the audio some say it’s best for single player. I play a lot of games that sound is key such as escape from Tarkov, day z and so on. I personally have not faced such an issue where this headset would struggle I could still pinpoint where gunfire and explosion happen no matter how chaotic with both gen 1 and 2 As of now this is all I can think of I’ll update as I go on but for now I recommend this headset with a just the acceptation of being prepared to buy spare audio cables for the headset. Edit 5/1/24 Wow almost two years and the headset is still going strong i have put ALOT of abuse on the headset so what are my thoughts on it now ? Well the audio slider has given out id say about 9 months in upon purchase but its minor being a small adjustment its working as intended, now onto the cleaning still just as easy just pull the ear muffs off and hand wash let it air dry and continue on. durability still on par as Gen 1 thanks to a nephew they can be thrown off the porch hitting objects such as cars and a tree and still work after plugging back in. Though have notice after some time it will hold what ever bend you put on it BUT it still will not crack or break so yea it was and still is worth every penny.
