How to choose the best Xbox headset for youīy choosing from this list you eliminate one of the biggest headaches of searching for an Xbox headset: making sure the headset is even compatible with Xbox consoles. The A10 may be cheap, but its attention to detail is commendable. So does the detachable cable, which also comes with a useful in-line volume slider. ![]() But the compact design also makes the A10 better for travel and storage. Gamers with large ears may want to steer clear, however, as the A10 does favor a snug fit. For about half the price of a new AAA game, this wired headset delivers clear, punchy sound and memory foam padding that - like its big brother, the A20 Gaming Headset Gen 2 - ensures a comfy fit. Įntry-level Xbox headsets don’t get much better than the Astro A10. Read our SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox impressions. Much like the SteelSeries Arctis 1X, you can switch between the Xbox Wireless mode and a USB connection, provided via a dongle at the flick of a switch. Plus the ability to detach the mic and wear the headset as you would a regular set of headphones is another positive mark on the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox scorecard. Rather the paired-down design is mature and understated. And unlike some Xbox headsets, there's no 'gamer' aesthetics, or Xbox green swaddling the headset. In a nutshell, you're getting a SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless headset that's been designed for the proprietary Xbox Wireless protocol, something the standard model lacks.Īs a result, the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox comes with the same game-ready audio performance as its sibling, as well as excellent onboard controls and a comfortable fit. So what do you think? Will you be looking to pick up some A10s for yourself? What other gaming accessories are you interested in? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.The SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox takes a lot of what makes the SteelSeries Arctis 7X great and bundles it into a more affordable package. These headsets are the best I’ve used at the price point and combined with the comfort and ability to use them with any device, they’re better than some more expensive headsets as well. If you’ve always wanted some quality Astro headphones and didn’t want to spend the big bucks, or if you just want a great headset for a reasonable price, look no further than the A10. This box can be plugged into the bottom of any Xbox One controller to mute, adjust game and mic volume all with the push of a few buttons. If you’ve used a headset on the Xbox One before the controller redesign, then you know what to expect. If you are an Xbox One gamer, you can also get the A10 bundled with a MixAmp M60 for $100. The Astro A10 comes in three different colors, with the only difference between the three being the color of the inside of the ear cup and a small splash of color on the outside. The mic is also made of a flexible material, allowing you to bend it into the right place. My friend did mention I sounded a little quiet when compared to other headsets, but that can be adjusted on your console’s settings. I wish this click was a little more pronounced, but other than that the mic works just fine. The microphone arm can be raised up to mute it, and gives a subtle click when it’s in place. This means you can use one headset on your PC, PS4, Xbox One, anything else with a 3.5mm jack, and even make calls on your phone if you want to. While the A50s are locked to specific consoles due to Microsoft and Sony chat codecs and technical mumbo jumbo (unless you spend even more money on additional accessories), the A10s only use a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. While the loss in high-end features are a bummer, this actually makes the A10s much more accessible. But for basic plug-and-play use, you’ll be hard-pressed to find better quality in the price range. Sure, they aren’t as good as the A50s, and you can’t go into the minutiae of creating EQ profiles and customizing every little detail. While the reduced price comes with a significant reduction in the number of features, the A10s still provide some exceptionally high-quality audio. Priced at only $60, these headsets are my new recommendation for lower-end price point gaming accessories.
