Intro & In Your Box - 00:00
I totally forgot to mention, they will also be selling separate dongles for each console that will work with one headset!! 🎉
Why can't they have one like the Nova 7x or Stealth 700 Gen 2 Max that you can switch between Xbox or USB.
@@garethg8226 you would still have to plug in the dongle to other device. I hate that with my non max turtle beach. Dongle is gonna break at some point (switching between pc and ps5).
Does this have sidetone? How good is it if it has?
Which one is better nova 7 or astro a30
@@myytti16 Why would a dongle break? Just leave it alone maybe?
@The Techne wow the mic sounds when in bluetooth mode with the mic attached but when its using the on-board mic it sounds good you can hear the bass in your voice. and running it with the mic attached running it 3.5mm sound like a USB XLR mic. really clear sounds awesome.
Hey Techne , always appreciate your content, keep up the great work my friend. I really do like the the look and features of this headset, but that headband issue is a deal breaker for me personally, such a shame, so close.
I bought some A20’s about 9 years ago, and they shut off last night with no lights and no turning back on, I think they’re fried and I got my moneys worth. Time to get these today!! Too excited
The hidden mic sounds better to me ..I came to see the headband durability ...great review I assume this model is cheaper than the a40 a50 so I'm gonna check them out
just subbed because i love the honesty and energy lol thanks you
For what it's worth, I tried the A30, Nova 7x, Nova pro wireless, Astro A50, to try and replace my Astro A40s with mixamp pro.... of all these the A30s were the only ones that I liked. I returned all the others.
Good to know. I’m in the market for a new headseat. Currently have the Lucidsound ones now. I want something with a better battery life. I like my headset now just sucky battery
I really like it too I just ordered the a20s today but ima still get the a30s 😊 thanks for helping make my decision
I know I’m a little late, but I’m trying to decide between these astro a30s and the steel series arctis nova pro. Any reason why you liked these over the novas?
@@alexsypen920 The nova pro literally hurt to wear, the anc nub in the ear cups dug into my ear and was awful. The 7x were ok, but the side tone was so weak. I could barely hear myself, so it was like talking with your ears plugged. It just made it hard to talk. The A30 aren't perfect, but they have good comfort, reasonable sound quality, and good side tone. Bonus is that wicked cushions just came out with ear pads for them, which makes the comfort even better.
@@speedogomer thanks for the info man, I currently have an old version of the a40 tr’s, and they’re falling apart so it’s definitely time for an upgrade hahaha
I just got these I'm so excited! Thank you for the review
How are they?👀
Je l'ai il est nul !
9:05 is that really the built-in mic? That sounds amazing! Sounds MUCH better to my ears than the detachable mic (in wireless mode, at least), which usually isn't the case. That's wild!
Hahaha I thought that was just me thinking that
But it also gets more room to the signal
Sounds better to me as well
Guys, I'm having problems with the microphone. It recognizes it but there's no sound output. Has anyone experienced this?
been waiting for a review on these and glad it was you.. now my question these vs the arctis nova 7's which one would you choose?!
thank you very much for the review. ive been looking for headphones that can be used with multiple devices at the same time (usb dongle and bluetooth) and hadnt seen any reviews for this set. talking about the earcups, band, and the mic test were very helpful in forming my opinion if these are the set for me
Did you get them ?
@@bara9880yes, problems i have are not being able to turn off the device and the fix to that is hitting both the power button and connect button. i also notice the headband having a gap, and earcups are degraded so foam is showing.when connecting to multiple devices everything is fine UNLESS one of the devices you're using has a discord call, which uses the mic and causes the quality to go down, and makes the volumes of both devices either wildly loud or too quiet. thinking about all this myself, i dont know if its worth 230, maybe if theres a real good sale.
Mine will arrive tonight, so really excited what to expect.
These being A30s I was expecting a bit more of a budget headset. It's a good product for the price but I think at that price I might as well save up another $70 and go with the VZR model ones or go a step higher and get the HiFiMan Sundaras
i got them the other day, definitely worth while for comp gaming especially games like rainbow and cod where you need to hear footsteps,
Did u adjust the audio settings or did u use the gaming Footsteps audio on the app?
For the past several days I've been deciding between the EPOS H6Pro or Arctis Nova Pro but then you dropped this video dammit, lol. The versatility and features is very tempting but I'll wait a little bit longer for more reviews on this one.
Techne has been on the grind!! Much respect
Just picked these up today and I am thoroughly impressed thus far. Had to return the v2 pro wireless as the crackling was driving me crazy!
Je l'ai il est nul ! Je vais prendre un turtle beach... Le prix c'est du vol
Thanks for the awesome review! BTW where are these red white black panels on your wall from? Self made?
Excellent review! I love that you can use multiple sources at the same time (and balance them) but what about the microphone? If its on say a PS4, can I take a call or use discord on my phone?
i just got them in and i never was able to wear headphones like that but these are soooo comfortable
Very interesting I have a ps5 and wondering if I should pull the trigger from my Astro A40’s
just ordered mine! cant wait to experience it after replacing low and mid tier headsets over and over for years!
Can you do these vs nova pro wired/ wireless? Do they even compare or is nova 7x more on par with the a30?
Wow. You got these quick.
I just have to say that i really enjoy watching your videos thanks to your energy.
Great stuff man! love the content! Would you recommend these over the Steelseries Nova 7x?
steelseries build quality is awful, i’m here because i have the arctis 9x and the bit that connects the band to the earpiece has just snappex
Astro generally have a noise gate applied to their microphones by default in the software. I imagine the boom mic will sound much closer to how it sounded while wired once the app releases and you are able to disable the noise gate.
Any updates on this? Did you try it after the app dropped?
@@OG_MeNToRI did the noise gate is pretty good even at ZERO, does a good job on suppressing your background noise with boom mic, built it mic is more sensitive to noise, did I mention the audio quality in this headset is AMAZING for competitive gaming?!!!? I have recent clips to prove my own voice in my channel also, that's your choice to check, I don't want to sit here and promote my own unknown content, but point I'm making is they are worth it imo compared to other's I have used, some people complain about price but want quality, that's not very logical with anything you purchase that's better quality
@@WEEWEE_GUYthanks for confirming again that I should have gotten the a30s 😂😂 I just got the a20s today cuz my a40s TR are a decade old but still getting the a30s next
Hey @The Techne I noticed you mention the wicked cushions a lot and have tried them myself, they are ridiculously comfy as you said. I find however on the Audeze Penrose the bass is not as deep with the cooling gel pads, will using the hybrid velour improve the base?
I agree. I had the same experience but could easily tell the sound quality changed drastically when I switch the cushions and returned them trough Amazon
Would be interesting to see what your opinion is on the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay Portals
Wondering if these would be a better buy than the hyper X cloud alpha. Which ones sound better. Mostly just use them for call of duty. So mic and audio are main concerns
Just got the a30s , absoulately love them. So far bettee theb my clloud 2s and my flight s
I was planning on getting these, but that headband popping off is a bit worrying. Probably look for something else now.
looking at the right side of the headband at 4:14 and wondering if it's already coming off or what is that gap there? looks not very good... which is a bummer 'cause the headset itself looks amazing! love the shiny plates! so much better than RGB imho
Techne can u compare astro A30 Wireless with Arctis Nova 7? Theyre pretty much at the same level
the multi audiio thing is so useful since i tend to use my pc and playstation at the same and i have the a20s so its annoying trying to switch between the two with the single dongle
Would love to see you compare the a30 vs the nova 7x.
Which sound do you prefer?
Can you buy a second dongle and have one in a ps5 and one in an xbox at the same time? Just be nice to play either console and not have to switch the dongle.
Not a fan of the anc nub on the nova pro wireless
Picked these up today and finally got away from turtle beach. Honestly the integrated mic is amazing! It’s such a small thing but not having that in your face is nice. My favorite feature though is being able to play music from my phone but still talk with the boys. $230.00 is a bit much but honestly if you can swing it I would highly suggest doing so. Excellent review man👍🏾
I wish reviewers would talk more about mic monitoring levels. Other than sound that is my number 1 function when it comes to purchasing a headset. Lucidsound ls40 was for me the hands down best at it. But after a few years the headband cracked. I go through many headsets because no reviews talk about it. I want to be able to have a louder side tone. I lost a lot of functions on my Lucidsound going from my PS4 to PS5 or I would just buy another set. PLEASE SOMEONE TALK ABOUT HOW LOUD THE MIC MONITORING IS!
How does it compare to the steelseries arctis nova 7?
Hello! Which one would you recommend as a wired headset, the Steelseries Nova 1 or the Razer Kaira X? Thanks in advance.
Loving the goatee brother!
Love your channel especially when the holiday shopping season is coming and I buy a lot of tech for gifts. 👍
Can you show your EQ settings for the A30? I liked your EQ settings for the Kaira Pro and would like to know what EQ settings you would recommend for the A30.
You use the Logitech g mobile app for settings there is no Astro app, it says on the back of the box
What headset would you recommend man for Xbox and pc use .
Was thinking a40s tr, a30s, or razer shark v2s
Looking for a good headset for competitive gaming, if there is another headset you think would be best let me know please 🙏🏻
Shit Quality headband broke down due to making video 😅
Lots of great features but I have trouble getting mine to actually mute when pressing the mute button.
People can still here me when it’s switched off.
App doesn’t recognize my headset is near.
Also the mic placement is too close to the face. Too bad it doesn’t swivel like the rest.
Are you going to review skullcandy slyr and plyr by any chance?
If the app is on your phone that's awesome! I wish all brands would take notes from turtle beach not everyone has a PC to change the eq
Best Buy listing says these have Dolby Atmos, but haven't seen that listed anywhere else?
Price is high for build quality, and that built in mic and 3.5 hook up sounds better than that Bluetooth and 2.4 IMO max $ is 150
In my opinion Astro’s best headset has been the A20 Gen 2. I found them to be as good as the A50 Gen 4 in many ways and the sound was just so good on the A20, especially for £100 and you had 3 EQ presets saved on the headset that were enough for different type of games
A30 seems to be more a feature headset than anything else. Also the headset looks like and from what @The Techne said it sounds like, it’s more a Logitech headset than Astro. You can tell from the design of the headset it more reminds me of Logitech than Astro
I think they’ve done what most big headset brands are doing which is packing a lot of features in a headset and then asking for a high price
Again in my opinion if the default sound is too warm, it’s only good for immersive gaming, but once the app is released and after customising the EQ for competitive gaming and it really works, then maybe £230 isn’t that bad
My biggest issue with these new headsets is, they talk about this new sound technology, but when you listen to them it really isn’t like a day and night difference compared to their older versions
Once the app is released I will try the A30, because again the A20 Gen 2 is such a good sounding headset for its price the A30 has to beat it, otherwise it’s not worth it
agree ! A20 Gen 2 User, the only thing i miss is the equalizer on the gen 2
@@tonic8352 To my hearing the preloaded 3 EQ presets are really good. Astro one is a more balanced EQ, but still sounds pretty good. Pro is the best one for me as I play a lot of COD and Pro increases the highs, then there’s signature which I don’t use at all
I had the a20 and really liked it but returned them and got the a10 gen 2 since I used to have the gen 1 but I miss having a wireless headset so I might grab the a20 again. I did buy the razer kaira pro on sale for $100 since I saw plenty of reviews saying that this was the best option but if I don’t like them I’m just gonna go grab the a20 since I already liked them
@@Jra362 I tried the Razer Kaira Pro, I didn’t like it and their app is useless. Every time I tried to save my own custom EQ, it always reverted back to either the default or some random EQ profile. The sound also was a step back in my opinion compared to some of their older headsets. Astro A20 Gen 2 is a solid headset for its £100 price and even better than some headsets that are £200 plus. I’m waiting to see if Audeze releases a Gen 2 Penrose with all the issues on the Gen 1 fixed
I just bought the A20s and I can’t figure out why my volume is stuck at 50% even though I’ve moved the wheel 100% upward. Is that something you came across?
Had a question, maybe someone can help, can I take these headphones and jump between devices Xbox/ps5/switch freely? Or do I need to buy a dongle like the a20s. The website description was confusing. Thanks
Hi Techne, I'm Tobi from Germany. First I have to apologize for my english, espacially for my writing. I really have to thank you. I was on a long journey to find the right headset, and man I bought the Lucidsound LSX, the Turtlebeach Stealth 700 Gen 2, the Steelseries Arctis 9X, the Astro A50, but I never get satisfied. Then I saw your test of the Penrose Audeze. It was not really easy to get it in germany at a fair price, but now I get it and I have to say: Absolutly outstanding! It's a shame that in germany nearly nobody knows Audeze! Come to a conclusion: THANK YOU TECHNE!!!!!!
Ich fand die audeze recht unbequem ...und habe sie zurückgeschickt..
Nutzt du sie am pc oder an der Konsole...bin immernoch auf der Suche nach einem guten ps5 headset
We need a comparation between Astro A30 vs Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless (or wired) PLEASE!
Don’t no about the a30s but I have a40 with mix amp and have the nova pros wired with amp and the a40 beat them hands down so much better clear audio than the nova pros
$230? Sounds a bit much for me. I could see myself paying $150, but not any more than that. No EQ settings on the headset is also a strike. Also does this not have a voice to chat dial?
I bet the voice to game mixer is all in the app. I have Sony mx3's and they moved most of the mixer stuff to the app.
Even 150 is abit much i say 100 would more the a40's sound better and the a50 are way better and you can get them for the same price
That will be in the app
@@TheTechne I have a pair of the A20's, and while I don't think it's compatible with an app, it had the EQ button and game/chat volume slider on the headset.
Is close back or open back?
hey man you are the best, by chance i am brazilian and i would like to know if you have any tips for importing and buying without taxes or fees
The old original a30s in 2014 were the best headphones I ever had during my Xbox 360 days but this appears to be a completely different product
Not made by the same company. Obviously not the same product. This is made by Logitech now
YOOO SOMEONE WHO REALLY KNOWS THEIR HEADSETS!! THe surround sound with the mix amp pro in bo2 days was op 💯💯
They also have black versions if ypu prefer black like me, at some areas. And some walmarts
One thing i don't like about the Astros is the leather ear covers. Why i skipped these and got the steelseries nova 7
As a fellow bald guy, the Arctis 7p is the most comfortable headset for me so far. Real good review 👍
@The Techne i got a40 gen3 with mix amp, but i want to make a uprgrade to a better headset that is wireless, but idk what to take. I don't have a budget as long as the headset remains as the best tested headset for years to come.
No wireless headset will sound any we’re near as good as a wired one with mix amp Astro a40 with mix amp is the best sounding gaming headset u can get specially on tournament preset on the mix amp
I love these, best headset ive ever had, the multi connection is so good I play on pc but my friends play on playstation so i have to use my phone to join the ps party, these allow me to hear everything from my phone and the game crystal clear with no lag, music sounds pretty good too not music headphones but they sound great for that too, also the logitech app on your phone allows you to customize the sound and mic.
Did that headband also pop out for you aswell or no
Would you recommend Astro A30 or Logitech g pro X 2? I am mostly looking for comfort and battery life.
So I replaced a faulty Logitech Pro X for these and found there is no software like Logitech G Hub for the pc? How do you change any settings like 7.1 surround sound ect?
Is there any talks of a new a50 or another a60 or something? the a40s and a50s are so old tech now, we need a refresh/upgrade. steel series just did and alot of other competitors have had new wireless options released,
This is probably the only Astro headset that I'd actually buy. I think it looks great too. I just don't understand why no one (other than Steelseries) do a swappable battery system.
Really good point. I wonder how the battery of headsets hold up over the years.
Hmm, we should look for people who have been using headphone like the QC15, 1RNC, PXC for a long time.
or you can just not buy bad products and go for a sennheiser hd 560s which annihilates this on every conceivable level possible.
@@GalaxiusPilgrim I'd rather have something wireless and with a mic. I play with people a lot so having a decent mic in the headset is pretty important for me
@@camtoczynski1891 I understand but at that price it's easy to get the 560s for around 160 dollars and then get a cheaper USB mic and you'll have a much better setup than that astro will ever be, it'll just be overall better and more worth it.
@@GalaxiusPilgrim Not everyone likes open backs. Not everyone likes the sennheiser audio. Its a bit less "fun" on the bass side.
Still rocking the A50's. Love the charging dock.
@Tony Stark why?
They remind me of a cooler looking audeze penrose. I’m guessing the penrose sound better huh ? Do they sound better than a50s?
What a great review. I own the astro a40s and I think I'm gonna hold off on upgrading right now. I just don't think you can beat the a40s with the mixamp
i want the a40s but can only find them wired.
@@Justicek02nd the a40s are a wired headset only. The a50s are the wireless version of the a40s! Happy hunting
@@treyboi1538 ah thank you for the correction
I got the A50 and now the A30 ..the new A30 are a lil bit better than the 40 and u still can use the A30 with the mixamp
A50s are the best by far
Crazy that the built in is quite superior to the external
C'est surtout du vol pour ce prix
could you do an update of the a30 im now with the app and the eq settings
I'm so glad to see Astro bringing back the A30s. I've owned several pairs of Astros, The A40s, The A50s as well as the A30s and the A38. And of every pairs I've ever owned the A30/A38 was my favorite as far as comfort goes. I unfortunately lost them in a natural disaster some years back and was disappointed to see they weren't available last time I tried to buy something from Astro. Definitely going to pick up a A30 soon.
are the astro a30 good?
@@crispy_toast07 I have not picked up the new A30s yet. But I trust Astros headsets and my last pair of A30s were solid.
How do you compare the a40s to something like the a30s as far as sound quality goes ?
@jordankerslake7374 Honestly, im not a huge audiophile, so my comparison is going to be juvenile.
A30s - Solid sound, good comfort, lose a little on the bass, I couldn't tell much of a difference in the mid to highs. A30s microphone is good, but I prefer the A40s.
A40s - Solid Bass, Good on the mid to highs, incredibly comfortable but not as Portable as the A30s. Prefer the A40s microphone.
@@Nikjamesz ya I got a40s but I go through the wires from head set to mix amp every couple months it’s annoying cause I gotta order a couple at a time
bro any gaming headset for use with all platforms with good quality sound do u have any recommendation?
Got these on sale on Amazon, very happy.
I LOVE these headphones they are great havent had any issues so far so i approve of these and recommend them.
how are they still? considering to buy one
@@johnmorson7003 they are still amazing nothing has broke I actually really like them
Do you prefer these or the nova pro?
a bit lost here. i'm highly interested about buying this headset, yet i am wondering ; if i buy the PS version, would i be able to still play with this headset on my Series X ? for the moment, only the PS version is available near my local shop so, i don't know if i can buy this version but still have the full potential.
Please help me out guys ! Choose Astro A30 or Steel Series Nova Pro Wireless ??
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’m not sure how true this is, but from my personal experience, when I plugged my headset into the controller, I noticed it would lose some bass. So my guess would be using it wirelessly with the console would be better. But at the same time, maybe the wireless audio signal (or whatever) the xbox gives out lacks some detail. Your best bet would probably be you plug your headphones into your TV if you can, I think I noticed it having better bass that way, so maybe the audio signal passing through the hdmi is better. I’m not sure how accurate this is though
You should make a top 5 worst / stay away from headset video
Techne I want you to test the Roccat Syn Max Air cause the price is too high and want to make sure its gonna be worth it
Just me, or does the built-in microphone sound WAY better than the detachable one?
why the mic does not work on ps5 when is on wirreles mode i put thw cable and they work
How does the built-in mic sound so much better than the attachable mic? That makes no sense. The Corsair HS80 is still the king with their mic.
I hope it has a noise gate because my house is loud and the nova 7x that I was using on PS5 was picking up on the termites chewing wood.
It does via app
I can’t find anything as to whether or not these are 7.1 surround sound?
I need a recommendation on eq for these I have the PlayStation ones and I’ll tweak with it
If my Rick and Morty plates from my old A40s fit, I’m completely sold
I think for $230 I would choose the Steelseries Nova 7x with the leatherette ear pads. They’re cheaper and sound phenomenal!
I got the 7x and bought the leatherettr ear pads they are sooo much better than the sport wesve cushions
@@punchyo_1175 DO you have a link for the leatherettr ear pads thanks.
where can I get the leatherette ear pads?
Commission, I'm almost certain that if they make ear pads with that design that their intent is for interchangeability.
Guys, I'm having problems with the microphone. It recognizes it but there's no sound output. Has anyone experienced this?
Using 3.5mm will your eq settings work or will it be default sound??
Do you have any EQ settings recommendations?
Great review. Since it’s a Logitech company can you use g hub to change settings or do you need the actual Astro software?
I just got these two days ago. Sound great and I use Logitech g app
@@bigxxxnig thank you very much I appreciate it.
good info, appreciate ya
which headphones have both Wired and wireless connectivity?
There a new keyboard by Corsair need to check it out came out last week
Which is better between astro a 30, maxwell and turtle beach stealth pro?
Should I go to this from a Turtle Beach Stealth 700 gen 2?
