PRO:
1. Shipped gas lighting fast.
2. For used / renewed, they are like new.
3. Sound is great and has all the features of a more expensive pair.
CON:
1. Price was still very high for a set of headphones.
2. Holds skin oil a bit more than last pair.
OTHER:
1. Glad they have cotton ear cups, pleather ones make the head sweat.
2. Cannot agree more the sound is great.
1. Headset dies pretty quickly maybe getting 8 hours or maybe 10 if you're lucky.
2. Mic sounds like absolute trash
3. getting it to work with PC is horrendous
4. only have had it for 3 months and the power button stopped working completely switch sounds like its clicking but no turning off
5. Mic just up and stops working for absolutely no reason
My recommendation is stay clear of the Astro's and never use them or buy them complete waste of my money and I wish I could return them.
1. Seating it firmly in the charger can be a freaking nightmare. I felt like my set had ONE sweet spot and being 1/4 of a mm off would make the difference between charging or being expensive earmuffs.
2. Quirky network connection. I frequently had to adjust the channel to a sub 100 channel, and even then it often required me to reconnect.
3. Sound would die for no apparent reason, a lot. Every day. While using, I always knew at some point I would have to restart, re-pair, reconnect, reconfigure. Sometimes it would resolve with a turn of the head, or a lean to one side or the other. I visualized the wireless signal from my router to my headset as a broken string and that slow lean would let the broken ends reconnect around tiny piece of dust that had severed their link. The power of my imagination could not solve this, sadly. I eventually suspected a faulty hardware connection or something that would slowly resolve itself because I was waving it around so much while doing the above troubleshooting.
4. The microphone was dreadful. On discord and teamspeak, friends would always tell me it was cutting out, they could not hear me, was a fan running in the background? was I on a train? was it raining? etc etc. This is the main reason I ended up using a wired headset: it's not a lot of fun gaming with friends if I can't TALK to any of them.
5. When it worked, the sound was great. The headset was comfortable.
6. I might have returned it, but I live in a rural area, rarely drive into city where I could find a drop-off location, and I refused to make some poor driver come out to my house to pick it up.
7. The continual getting up and down to troubleshoot the headset alleviated any concern I had about developing a DVT from sitting too long!
While I can't recommend this headset, I do note other people were fortunate enough to have no problems at all. So, like anything else in life, weigh the pros and cons and make the best decision you can.

Meins ist nach 1 1/2 jahren kaputtgegangen und Amazon kann nichts machen und der Händler von diesem Shop macht erst recht nichts. So eine verarsche!
Design très massif, relativement sobre dans cette version PC-PS4. Confortable même en longue session (+4h) avec des points de pression bien répartis.
Son excellent, le 7.1 est de très bonne qualité et permet une bonne spatialisation des sons en jeu.
L'ergonomie est très bonne, toutes les commandes sont intuitives.
L'autonomie semble plus faible que prévu mais c'est sans importance puisque la base recharge le casque.
Les retours sur le micro sont bons (pas testé d'enregistrement de mon propre son)
Le logiciel est très complet, parfois un peu compliqué à comprendre mais rien d'insurmontable
Pas senti de latence en jeu
Je retire toutefois 2 étoiles pour cause de microcoupures (1-2s) qui interviennent de temps à autre ( parfois rien pendant +2h) mais qui sont inacceptables pour un casque de ce prix. Problème remonté par bcp d'utilisateurs sur les forums
