The extremely durable and high-performing affordable headset Astro A10 is back with a new coat of paint for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Astro made the announcement this past week and I for one am totally amped up for these. The A10 line of gaming headsets provides a top-tier gaming experience at a lower cost. The durability, too, is of the utmost importance when it comes to these headsets. I’ve seen people completely twist a pair of these up and continue to use them.
The new Black Ops Cold War pair takes inspiration from the color scheme for the game and throws it on to the plastic canvas. The red and black really make for a striking look. I love the jet fighters and kill count details specifically. The big thing that I noticed when comparing this pair to the rest of the A10 line is the implementation of a pop filter over the mic. This will cut down on any harshness that comes with the S and P sounds coming from your side.
Great decision.
Below are some details about the headset and what you can expect to find inside of the box on delivery day.
ASTRO Comfort and Quality – Featuring flexible, lightweight materials and cloth ear cushion, along with durable steel headbands with damage-resistant rubberized cover and detachable cable system, the A10 is designed to withstand both victory and defeat.
Bonus Content - Bonus in-game content will be available in the launch of the Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War game and is included with every purchase of the Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War A10 Headset.
ASTRO Audio V2 – Designed to produce detailed, true-to-life game audio, ASTRO Audio V2 provides a natural, smooth sound through an extended frequency range. Tuned for Gaming to deliver non-fatiguing highs, clear mids, and distortion-free bass.
Cross-Platform Compatibility – The 3.5mm jack on the A10 headset provides universal console and PC compatibility, as well as functionality with any mobile device that utilizes a 3.5mm audio port.
Flip to Mute Mic – The ASTRO A10’s highly precise boom mic offers Flip to Mute functionality, which mutes voice output and conveniently stows the microphone when not in use.
Astro previously announced earlier this month the A20 Gen 2 headset, as well that all of their current-gen headsets will indeed be compatible with the next-gen consoles. So buying this now won’t negatively impact you later.
The headset is set to come out this fall and cost $69.99. Purchasing also gives you bonus content for Black Ops Cold War. While there’s no confirmation on exactly what it is, I’m intrigued to see it when it’s unveiled. You can pre-order it online right here at the Astro Gaming website.
