A Great Plug-and-Play Headset

I have a bit of an obsession with headphones and earbuds, gaming headsets included in that obsession. My 3 sons that are gamers don’t help in this vice, so we go through quite a bit of headsets in my home. The Astro A30s give me mixed feelings. It does many things well, but there is something that leave me scratching my head.
First, sound quality is great, the little joystick toggle on the right earcup allows you to adjust volume and change the focus to game or voices. That toggle is nice to have in the middle of a game where you want to make and adjustment but don’t want to take your eyes away from the game. I have to say that I have primarily used this on a gaming PC and a few times on our Xbox. Both types of gaming left me very satisfied with the sound and it was easy to connect to both. You also get an AUX cable in the box so that you can use that to connect to different devices. You also can connect using Bluetooth if you want to use these to game on your phone or tablet.
Setup was straightforward, but I found it unusual that there was not software to download on the PC. Normally, in my experience with other gaming headsets you download software to allow you to update firmware and adjust settings. The software allows you to tweak EQs, spatial audio, surround sound settings, etc. No such software currently available. Instead, you download the app on your phone and make your adjustments there once you pair the headset to your phone using Bluetooth. You are allowed to change sound settings and profiles on within the phone app. Not quite the same granular adjustments I’ve seen in other headsets, but good.
The last bit that is worth noting here is that the headset is very comfortable, and I have no problem using these for long gaming sessions. The new WoW expansion is about to drop, and I can confidently say that these will give me no ear fatigue for some upcoming long gaming session. The headphones have a nice aesthetic, but they don’t offer any RGB to customize it to your liking.
So, great sound, easy setup, and great comfort. Sounds like they knocked it out of the park. I guess my hesitation is that I am accustomed to getting a little finer tuning in the software packages that most of the gaming headsets I’ve used over the last couple of years. You get some of that in the phone app for sure. I think maybe these would be perfect for those just looking for an amazing plug-and-play type of headset. Something they can begin using right away that will sound great, offer fantastic detail and clarity, without requiring all the adjustments. For those people, these are great, but if you are the type that likes to really dial in your sound in settings, be wary. They sound great and they are worth your time and money, just know that minor issue in software before you take the plunge.

Looks Great, But Performance Doesn't Match

The A30 Wireless Dolby Atmos Gaming Headset is a great looking headset. Clean, white frame with semi-clear caps on the earcups (tags) with a multi-colored glow showing through. There's no LEDs, but rather a shiny, colored finish underneath that reflects colors through the speaker tags. The Xbox version is white; the PS version is a dark navy blue. Both versions will connect to the respective consoles as well as PC via a USB dongle, as well as being able to connect to both consoles if you're willing to spring for the cost and purchase a second dongle.
The A30s are smooth and stylish overall, and despite the fact they are a bit plasticky - it almost entirely made of plastic, they seem to be very solid. While they aren't the lightest headset around, they appear compact and fit nicely within the included case.
The controls aren't very well thought-out in my opinion. The left earcup has a mute switch, and two ports for the boom mic and a 3.5mm audio cable. Since the boom mic is a plug/unplug device, you can't just swivel the mic to mute it - you have to feel for the button.
The right earcup contains a power button, a Bluetooth button, and a four direction miniature joystick, which controls the volume and game/chat mix, along with a USB charging port. The little joystick is frustrating, as it's easy to choose the wrong direction, and the increments from one level to the next is making it far too difficult to attain the level you're seeking. Making it worse is that it doesn't link with the volume in Windows, which means you have to control it with the little joystick or from the phone app, which you connect to via Bluetooth. The power button and Bluetooth button have the identical shape (not to mention they're tiny), so you cannot differentiate them by feel - you either do it long enough you remember which is which, or you take the headset off so you can look.
The Logitech G app is sparse, but does what it needs to. There's two pre-made EQ settings, with the ability to create your own via its 5-band EQ. You can create separate profiles for games, media, etc. along with a few simple adjustments for the internal as well as the boom mic.
The boom mic was okay, although it transfers external noise easily if it's located too close to your mouth. The internal mic was a bit disappointing. Often voice was a bit garbles, or too soft for others to hear. Again, trying to change any of these setting requires you to connect it to your phone app via Bluetooth, which can be annoying if you have to do it frequently.
Sound quality is very good, but the 40mm drivers aren't quite up to par with a couple of other headsets I have with 50mm drivers. Still, when it comes to sound Astro headsets generally excel, and these are good - just not the best I've heard. Treble is a bit more accentuated than bass, but in gaming that works pretty well most of the time. Overall, the A30 wireless did a very good job of balancing voice with game sound. They don't supply enough bass for excellence in media/music, but should be good enough to most people for everyday listening, making the A30s a decent choice for multi-use scenarios if you need more than just a gaming headset.
I didn't find the Astro A30s quite as comfortable as some of my other headsets. It didn't cause discomfort, but I was aware of the pressure on the top of my head from the bridge, as well as the earcups. They grip and hold well, and are overall comfortable to wear during long gaming sessions, but I noticed they were there. The adjustments have no increments, with their travel being completely smooth making it just slightly more difficult to duplicate the settings precisely. It's not a big thing, but it was another small thing that was noticeable.
The Astro A30 headset is a really good headset, but it's not great, which is disappointing as it is a bit on the pricier side, particularly give it's mostly plastic construction even it the build quality did seem solid. Sound is very good and should please all but the most finicky. Visually it's outstanding, and the ability to use it across multiple devices adds to its value, but while it has a few things going for it, it also has some minor disappointments. None of them are "deal-breakers", nor do they prevent me from recommending them, but they are there.
The Astro A30 Wireless headset is a good, solid headset, with excellent sound that falls just a bit short of being class best, and an exceptionally sleek and compact design, but falls a bit short at being great overall.

The Astro A30 Wireless Gaming Headset has a lot of great features perfect for PC, console, or mobile gamers.
1) Unboxing: The box is nicely sized, easy to open, and contains all relevant product information on the back. Inside was a carrying case, A30 headphones, LIGHTSPEED USB-A transmitter, removable boom microphone, 1.5m 3.5mm analog cable, and a 1.5m USB-C to USB-A charging cable. One thing I DEFINITELY appreciated was the 1.5m charging cable. I can’t tell you how many times I have purchased headphones over the years to find out the included cable is short and can hardly reach the floor from the outlet. I also like they included an analog cable to directly connect the headphones into a 3.5mm audio port.
2) Setup: From start to finish, it took me about 5 minutes to get the headphones working. I plugged the LIGHTSPEED USB-A transmitter into my computer, downloaded the Logitech app on my phone, and went through the setup instructions. With the ease of setup, I also plan to use these with my Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
3) Battery life: I charged them prior to my first use which took a few hours. The reported battery life is 27+ hours per charge. While I haven’t played for more than 27 hours/a full charge, I did spend a fair amount of time over the weekend gaming (several hours each day). Despite pretty heavy use there was not significant battery drainage (>70%). I wish the battery level was more readily viewable (as a percentage) so I could decide when to charge them. Ideally, I would have liked to see the battery level (as a percentage) on the main app page without having to click on anything.
4) Microphone: The detachable boom mic is where it is at. The sound it produces is great (for a wireless headset); however, the internal microphone is BAD. The only use I could think of is if you were wearing these listening to music with the boom mic detached and wanted to take a phone call. Otherwise, pretend there is no internal mic and leave the boom mic attached.
5) Customizable speaker tags: This is a cool concept that is on my list of things to do. The speaker tags on the side of the headphones are removable and can be customized. Given the opaque color, there are a lot of possibilities to really make your headphones stand out.
6) Versatility: I appreciate that these are compatible with Playstation, Xbox, XB Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mobile (iOS/Android). Buy one great headset and use it with all your devices. I will enjoy using these on my other gaming consoles (Playstation and Nintendo Switch). I also like that there is multidevice connection so I can get notifications from my phone while gaming on my computer.
7) App: The Logitech App (at least for PC) gets a lot of hate; however, I had not had any issues with it. All my Logitech devices connect flawlessly and just work. The same can be said for the phone app. It is intuitive and works great with a large variety of customizable settings.
8) Comfort: I found the headphones to be very comfortable. Even after wearing them for several hours my head did not hurt and my ears didn’t feel hot.
Overall, I think the Astro A30 Wireless Gaming Headset is great and I would recommend them to any gamer.

This Astro Gaming A30 Wireless Dolby Atmos 3D Gaming Headset for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, mobile, and Switch is the best gaming headset I have ever had, and there are many reasons I say this. First of all versatility. You can have up to 3 devices connected to this at the same time. I had my smartphone and PC connected at the same time. I was listening to music on my PC when a call came in on my smartphone. The music paused, and I answered the phone. Just awesome. Secondly, it is compatible with everything I have; everything. I use it for music, movies, gaming, video chat and zoom meetings, and the audio is incredible. Thirdly, it is super comfortable. Most gaming headsets are bulky. They usually have a certain look and feel to them, and that mostly means that they are heavy, super big, and not so soft and comfortable. These are made for comfort, while keeping the cool gaming look to them. Lightweight, soft, and not so bulky. The controllers on the headset are something I have never seen on a headset. There is a power button on the back right at the top. Then under that down lower is the Bluetooth button. Then the really cool thing is below that, which is a joystick like button. This thing is awesome. You can control so much with this joystick like button. Volume up and down, Balance game and chat audio, control music and calls. Love this feature. The on each speaker on the outside are removable plates that allows you to customize the tags inside. They are magnetic and so cool. The microphones, yes, two microphones. One is built-in and one is a boom microphone that is removable. They both work exceptionally well, although I do like the boom microphone better. The A30 is just great. I have used it on several games, as has my son. He likes the more aggressive gaming and war games, and says you can hear every little thing in the game. You can set your gaming profiles up in the Logitech G app too. Then there is the time you can use it before you charge it again. This is a huge improvement over my last headset. I can’t tell you exactly how long it was used continuously without charging it down to the hours and minutes, but we went 3 days with a lot of use from me and my son, gaming and listening to music, and didn’t have to charge it. So, yeah, it stays charged for a long time. Connections are Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz Lightspeed wireless with USB connector, wired 3.5mm. It also comes with a very nice hard case. It’s zippered and has a place for the headset, the boom mic, the USB adapter, and the cords. It also has a handle on it that snaps shut so you can attach it to something. The Astro gaming lineup is great and this A30 headset is no exception.

Logitech Astro 30 - stylish and full of features

When it comes to gaming headsets, Logitech has the prestigious Astro lineup. It has brought about some of the best headsets for gamers on consoles and PC. And the Astro A30 is no exception.
The packaging is very classy and once you open it up, it reveals a hard-shell storage pouch. Within the protective shell is the A30. A gorgeous white headset with accents in purple. A boom mic, a type-c cable for charging and a 3.5mm aux cable are all included, meaning you will be able to enjoy the sound of the Astro on pretty much everything you can think of. It has blue-tooth as well.
Let's circle back to the exterior as I'd like to point out that the materials used are of excellent quality. The plates on each side of the headset can be replaced to customize you gear. All the controls are placed in comfortable and intuitive spots. The little joystick-like button to change the volume or navigate the options is a very smart choice.
As the Astro A30 is wireless, it also comes with a USB dongle to connect to the XBox. It doesn't take much more than a couple of seconds to connect it and it's ready to use. The battery-life is within the time it's advertised (27 hours), I managed to get about 22 hours on a full charge.
This headset sounds as fabulous as it looks. It has been tuned for gaming, so when I say "fabulous", I mean that you can hear every sound and tell where it comes from in a game. The sound is clear and wide. Even though it's not made to render music, it does so very well, with a little lack of bass in my opinion.
Chatting is pretty much perfect, you can switch between the boom mic or the integrated mic. Even during a firefight you can understand clearly what's being said.
In all honesty, it's hard to find a real flaw. Even the little details like the noise it makes when you turn something on or off is good. The Astro A30 is a top-performer and well worth its price. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

A30's -
Finally – Someone makes a gaming headset I can use for EVERYTHING and more than one of those things at once !
These feature a top notch fit and finish, great sound quality and epic battery life. I literally used them on and off all week and never had to charge them with a combined real world usage of 14+ hours. The dual mic setup is great. The boom mic can be completely detached for more casual use as headphones. Overall – this is the set of gaming headphones I have been waiting for !
Audio Quality – I have owned and have a few other headsets in the $100-$300 range. The overall profile on these is comparable to the $200-$300 bracket. The bass is strong, The highs are great, the mids are average to good average.
Connectivity – I had no issues with Bluetooth connectivity or dongle use across PlayStation, Xbox, my random retro handheld, a Samsung tablet, my work laptop etc. . . .
Important and somewhat rare feature – This headset does something well that I have wanted in ANY headset for a long, long time - From the Manufacturer - “Mix and balance audio from multiple devices simultaneously“ - “The A30 can play audio from 3 different sources at the same time. It comes with a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle and it can play audio from that, Bluetooth, and the 3.5 mm cable all at once. “ - I can be on that long boring conference call I have no stake in and listen to music or game on another PC at the same time !
:)
What I love -
Built in mic + Detachable boom mic – Think double / triple / whatever duty !
Insane battery life !
Super comfortable for long wear !
Not so great -
Bluetooth device switching – could be better implemented.
Squeeze tightness not really adjustable

Pros :
Sound cancelling is amazing.
Connects easily ( too easily I will talk about it in the cons)
The mic is good when using on xbox, it cancels out a lot of background noise it's not extremely sensitive so really good if you have a fan or air conditioner in the background (unless it's right next to you)
Battery life really good.
It's comfortable not too tight and doesn't sit too heavy on the top of your head.
Cons.
I kept hearing this beeping sound and I couldn't understand why, it wasn't until I realized that it was connecting and disconnecting from my phone while also connected to my PC but not when I was on my xbox.

The sound, comfort, set-up, connectivity, and battery life are top notch on this headset. Two complaints - the microphone is detachable, but stiff. I wish I could move it around more instead of having to completely detach it to get it out of my face. My second issue is the customization. Astro's website used to have a customization tool for the speaker tags on this headset. It has been "down" for quite some time. Bit of a bummer.

Top tier headphones from Astro

I've tested and tried many headsets in my lifetime and I'd say the Astro A30s rank up near the top of my headset list. First, I'll list off the things I love about this headset - it feels super lightweight and does not leave that annoying dent in your hair. The clasp around the ears are super nice and tight without being uncomfortable, definitely the best headset I've had in terms of noise isolation simply from the clasp of the headset.
Another really cool feature is the Bluetooth connectivity. Not only that but you can have dual connectivity to your pc/xbox and phone at the same time, this was a really cool feature to be able to hear phone notifications while gaming. Of course you can turn this off. Not only can you use these as your gaming headset, but also your daily headset for on the go travel and music. And speaking of the music, the sound on these things are great for it out of the box.
Logitech claims that these have about 27 hours of battery life and so far that seems to be accurate. USB-C charging is a huge plus as well and I'm glad its now a standard in most headsets. Also comes with a Detachable mic which sounds decent, it's not going to beat your average USB microphone, but its definitely one the better headset microphones.
Now for a two things that I didn't like about these headphones. As far as I can tell, you can ONLY use the Logitech mobile app to adjust audio settings. The Astro app on the PC does not currently work with these headsets. My other complaint is that I had to do some manual EQ tuning for most games, which to be fair, I've had to do that with most of my headsets but a list of presents on the app would be really nice.
TL;DR: These headphones have a lot to offer to not only gamers, but also music lovers. Sound is amazing, lightweight but nice and comfortable, Bluetooth connectivity is great, and the battery life is long lasting. Very few cons.

Great for everyday use and not just gaming

These are almost perfect for all around use and not just gaming. I really do like that these headphones were designed for gaming, but actually function quit well in everyday settings. I have used these headphones for zoom meetings at work, listening to music on my phone, and playing games at home. These headphones are the jack of all trades! I like how they have Bluetooth built in so you can essentially use it with any device. You also get a USB adapter for a faster wireless connection, or you can plug directly in with a headphone jack. This means you can pretty much use these headphones for everything, and they are not just dedicated to a computer, xbox, playstations, etc.
Connecting to my computer was very easy, just plug in the USB adapter and you are all set. My computer recognized the headset, and I didn't have to make any adjustments to work. Next I bluetooth paired it with my cell phone, again no issues and worked right away. I also downloaded the Logitech app so you can make additional adjustments. Next was an XBox, again no issue and everything worked great! The boom mic worked great on all of them and I like how you can detach the mic or adjust to your comfort.
Now to my favorite part about these headphones. You can connect multiple sources and use them at the same time. What this meant for me was playing a game on my computer along with playing music from my phone. I love this feature; I play racing games and the in-game music sometimes is horrible. This allows me to hear the game and play my own music all through these headphones and is so easy to do! You can also control the volume of each one, so you can have the music be background and your game being more prominent.
I gave the headphones only four stars because the white color is super white. These will get dirty and look gray after some time. They look great now, but I'm sure over time they will look dirty. The second, even though they sounded great they still lacked a little in the sound department. I'm very picky with my headphones and while these are totally fine, I just thought they could be a little better overall. If these were my only headphones, I would totally be fine with it, but I have other over the ear headphones in a similar price range that sound better. However, my other headphones cannot play multiple sources of sound at one time.
The headphones come with a carrying case (huge plus), that can hold the USB adapter, included charging cable, and analog cable (headphone cable). You can also customize the plastic covers on the side of the headphones. If you go to the manufacture's website, you can create or pick from different customizations. I thought that was a nice touch if you want to add your own branding to the headphones.
At the end of the day, you cannot go wrong with these headphones. They sound great and work perfectly for everyday use and not just gaming. I'm sure anyone will be happy to own these even if they only do light gaming.

A great Upgrade from the pervious A30 Model

The Astro Gaming A30 Wireless Dolby Atmos Gaming Headset is a great up from the previous model. As someone who has strictly used Astro gaming headsets over the past 5 years, I can say without a doubt they have nailed it with this upgrade. I immediately noticed that this headset would not update with the Astro command center software that I have on my PC ( a good thing because it's kind of a wonky software) but now you download the “Logitech G” app off of the app store on your phone. The app is where you can decide to switch between if you want to use the headset for your Xbox or your PC, and is also where you can check to see if there is an update. A cool feature about this headset is that it has bluetooth and can be used while paired to your cell phone and your console/PC at the sametime. I used this feature to play a Podcast on my phone while playing the new call of duty with both sounds coming through the headphones. You just have to remember to turn your A30 headset off when you're done playing games or when you try to go play something off your phone it will still connect to the headset. Sound quality on the A30s is amazing, especially when you turn on Dolby Atmos, where you get 3D sound and its game changing especially for video games. The feel on the headband is great and the adjustable sliders are a much better design from their previous models. My only real complaint with the headset is the removable boom mic, where in the older models the boom mic was built in and was on a swivel to adjust the position and to mute the mic. It now just rests in one location and the mute button is located on the back left ear cup. This is a tad incovent in that you have to locate the switch to mute yourself instead of just flipping the mic upwards to mute and then the location of the boom mic for me personally is too much in my peripheral vision while gaming. You can remove the boom mic to use the built in mic, but my teammates said I did n sound as good when using the built in mic. Overall you can't go wrong with the A30s as its one of the most versatile headsets on the market where you can pretty much use in all gaming circumstances and use it with your phone,

Amazing pair of gaming headphones/mic. The packaging is great and they include a very nice carrying case, also a charging USB type C cable, a multi jack cable (if you want to use it with a Nintendo switch or Playstation 5 controller) and a detachable mic. The version I got is the "Xbox" version. It includes a wireless dongle to pair with your xbox console, however, pressing the button (or via the app) you can change the mode to PC mode and it works also with any PC. For playstation 5 or Switch you have to use the multi jack cable. However, they do also sell an optional wireless dongle for PS5 and you can use the same pair of headphones wirelessly with your PS5, for the Nintendo switch they also sell a USB type C dongle too.
Setup was very easy, you just turn the headset one, turn on bluetooth pairing mode, pair with your phone, then open the Logitech G mobile app and it will detect the cans. There is no need of drivers, software etc on the PC side or Xbox, you configure and tune them all via their app, I love this, no more bloatware on PC. This way, you can have up to 3 different inputs on the same cans (the wireless usb dongle, bluetooth and via mini jack).
Their app is really nice and you can update firmware via there, select EQ, listening modes etc. The headphones themselves are super sturdy and they are very comfy, the earpads feel like a faux leather with some sort of memory foam and are very comfy, the headband too.These headphones have dual mics. You can attach the included boom mic for better voice while gaming, but if you want to take them on the go as music cans, you can detach it and there is still one included mic if you want to take phone calls lets say while listening to music, very versatile.
Finally I love that you can mostly control them either via the app and also on the headphones themselves there is like a little joystick, which you can move in different directions to control volume, chat/game balance, play/stop music, answer calls etc.
Sound is great and these are closed back headphones and they are very good at insulating outside sounds. While playing multiplayer games I chose the soundsteps profile to pinpoint accuracy, works very well and there is also an immersive mode for single player/campaigns. Battery life is great too.
Great job Astro, I love the innovation of using the phone app for most of the headphone tuning, no more software on the PC!

I liked it, sounded clear, comfortable and being able to use Bluetooth at the same time is great. I wasnt too big of a fan of the app that pairs with the headset, the price is a little steep compared to similar headsets on the market but thats about the only thing I didn’t like.
I would recommend this to a friend

I love these headphones. Sound is great and no issues with the mic. The only downside is that sometimes it will disconnect from the xbox and the only way to connect it back is to unplug and plug the usb back in

Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Astro Gaming A30 headphones! We're glad to hear you love them and find the sound great with no mic issues. We're sorry, however, to hear about the occasional disconnections from your Xbox and the inconvenience of having to replug the USB.

Wow! First off I’ve been playing video games for about 30 years now and I was never that gamer that ever used headphones. Sometimes on a whim maybe 3-4 in the 30 years I thought ok I’m gonna try a new pair of gaming headphones and each time it was always the same outcome….. 1. Uncomfortable for and duration of time 2. Sound quality wasn’t at all comparable to whatever sound set up I had at the time 3. The volume neve got loud enough to immerse me. Well this pair has changed everything for me! I had just bought the new call of duty and fired it up with the new pair of headphones and waited to be disappointed. During the initial set up for the game I couldn’t have cared less but once the game started so did the experience. You could hear every shell from everyone’s gun hit the ground! The Dolby atmos made you feel like you were in a real warezone! Things happening around my head behind me everywhere! I can’t praise the things enough my only comparison I can make is you were in an imax theater playing video game at full volume! Completely blown away by these!

My fiancé replaced his old Turtle Beach Headset for this guy, and it did not disappoint! The color is sleek, we LOVE the iredescent ear pieces. The mic is long, which is a preference of my fiancé’s, and tbh it is hard to find on a lot of headsets. The connectivity is funky at times, but the sound quality and battery life make up for it. Would definitely recommend this headset to anyone!

Pros: sound quality is nice, looks nice, the ear muffs are a pleasant size/arent overly & unnecessarily bulky, overall is a good headset when you find your preferred volume settings and if dont mind dealing w the bad aspects of it. Cons: the connectivity is finicky. It has no issue connecting to my phone. Iit can/will connect to your phone and console at the same time. Personally i found it annoying af bc i never even paired it to my phone. It simply connected on its own. It has a 50/50 chance (really like a 30/60 chance. Im being nice here) of it connecting to the console on the first try. Most of the time i have to restart my console & unplug then replug in the dongle for it to connect. The mic is okay, no one I've played w has had anything negative to say abt the mic quality sounds itself, But i have to use the mic extender/mouth piece for ppl to hear me without it sounding like im far away. Also if I've been playing for a more than 3 hours (literally ive timed it) then i have to get up & unplug and replug in the dongle just to turn the headset off when im done playing. Idk whats up with that weird connectivity issue. The volume controls are also kind of busted and, again, finicky. It took me 2 weeks of having this headset to get the volume adjusted to something manageable, and even now after having the headset for a month or so it still isn't the same for every game and i have to readjust it each time. It's annoying, but not a huge issue. Just be careful when playing games for the first time with it bc the headset software seems to default to LOUD settings in games initially rather than normal or soft volume settings. Oh, and if you are still thinking about purchasing this for the customization pieces on the ear muffs (you're just like me fr) dont even bother. Astro has discontinued production of the pieces for this version of the headset and only makes pieces for the a40 headset & the pieces for the a40 set are not compatible to the a30, go figure. The last issue for me and the main reason why i am searching for a better headset now is that this headset is tight on my head. Idk if i just have a big head or what. It fit fine at first and i had no issues. I actually loved the fit; however, now it gives me the biggest headache and makes my jaw so freaking sore after wearing it for about a hour from how tightly it is pressing against my ears. Idk what changed. The fit and aesthetic of the headset is what made me not immediately return it when i got it about a month ago. I really wish i would've gotten my money back on it. 9/10 do not recommend. Spend your money on a better headset.
