It could get a bit tight for larger ears. Personally, during the Astro A30 Wireless review, I was able to wear the headset for several hours without any problems, without it pressing uncomfortably or getting particularly warm under the pads. Still, the combination makes for a good wearing comfort with a moderate contact pressure on the ears. The headband’s padding is similarly soft, but not quite as generously proportioned at around 1.2 cm. The relatively small ear cups are also visually striking, but they are covered with a 2.4 cm thick and very soft leatherette pad.

With a weight of 329 grams, the A30 Wireless is slightly lighter than the SteelSeries model mentioned, but significantly heavier than, for example, a Corsair HS55 Wireless, which only weighs 266 grams.

Relatively tight and rather unsuitable for large ears.

High wearing comfort thanks to soft padding.

This shows once again that it doesn’t always have to be metal or cool aluminum. Similar to the recently reviewed SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, the Astro headset also looks surprisingly robust and high-quality. I also like the fact that the rotating mechanism of the ear cups and the headband are relatively stiff and thus cannot be accidentally adjusted or rotated. The upper side of the padded headband also convinces with a pleasant, roughened feel.Īccording to the plastic construction, the headset naturally emits a slight material smell after the first use. Nevertheless, the Astro A30 Wireless definitely feels high-quality and sturdy. In terms of workmanship, the manufacturer once again relies predominantly on hard plastic. The workmanship of the Astro A30 Wireless The rounded edges are remotely reminiscent of those of the Logitech G435 (our review). In the curves, at least in my eyes, the design language of the Logitech G mother becomes a bit recognizable. These are covers that you can replace and even personalize if desired.īasically, the design, especially by Astro standards, looks much more restrained than, for example, still in the A20 Wireless (our review) and not quite as angular. These are, typical for the manufacturer, equipped with so-called “speaker tags”. However, the outer sides of the ear cups immediately catch the eye in terms of design. Visually, the new A30 is relatively simple and looks comparatively compact. However, I personally like the look of the wireless model, especially the white version.

Sure, design is a matter of taste and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Let’s not beat around the bush: the Astro A30 Wireless is definitely one of, if not the nicest, gaming headset I could hold in my hands so far. Individualizable appearance through speaker tags.In addition to the gaming headset itself, Astro Gaming includes a USB-A receiver, the detachable microphone boom, and two cables: a USB-C to USB-A charging cable, as well as an analog 3.5mm jack cable, both coming to a length of 1.5 meters. Inside the travel case, the other contents are then found, well sorted.
