About this deal

Impressing me with its speaker and microphone quality, the Astro A10 is one of the best Xbox headsets on a budget. PC performance depends on your motherboard or soundcard support since it uses 3.5mm line-in connections, susceptible to interference. Build quality is fantastic, with no complaints after extended use due to the comfortable padding and lightweight construction.

The mic isn't detachable and only slides one way, this means if you're wearing the headset correctly the mic should only be able to slide down facing your left while wearing it. Prior to this headset I always wore headsets with the mic facing to my right and thought I'd hate the change but I got used to it and it doesn't bother me at all anymore One of the most common causes for sound coming out of one earpiece are issues related to your audio cable’s connection point on either end. For example, if you’re cable isn’t plugged in securely on either the PC or headset end, you may only receive sound from one side. We found the mic to be clear and consistent in voice capture. However, we wouldn’t recommend these for streaming or podcasting. It’s rare that a headset mic reaches the level of quality a professional streamer would need, and that’s especially true of the A10s. Still, it’ll serve you well for coordinating your payload pushes and point captures, and that’s the important part.Once you’re in sound settings, you can choose your headphones from the “output devices” drop-down and troubleshoot any issues.

Next, under the “Speaker audio” column, select “Optical audio,” and if you see “Bitstream out,” try turning it off.

Once you’ve opened “manage sound devices,” select the A10 headset device listed and test the sound. What really stands out is this headset’s build quality. Like all budget headsets, the A10s use almost exclusively plastic. Instead of trying to cram multiple adjustment points around a plastic body, Astro went with a single point of adjustment: Up and down on the ear cups. Comfort is a little worse as a result, but durability is vastly improved (there are simply fewer points of failure). Internally, the Arctis Nova Pro uses 40mm neodymium drivers with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz. Although the frequency range doesn’t reach as high as some audiophile-class headsets, it can still hold its own in the sound department. The wide soundscape of the Arctis Nova Pro gives players much more positional awareness in games and, combined with a digital surround sound solution, even more so. The headset itself is stereo, but you can use Windows Sonic Spatial Audio or Dolby Atmos for Headphones on your Xbox Series X to achieve virtual surround sound. It was thanks to modders that the original PC port of Dark Souls reached a stable and respectable state. Once the technical wrinkles were ironed out, modders turned to expanding and improving the game in numerous ways to keep the game feeling fresh. Years later, those same talented modders have moved on to the latest and largest FromSoftware title, Elden Ring. With plenty of time to learn the game, there are tons of mods out there that can not only fix nagging issues in the game but add entirely new ways to play. Here are some of the best mods out there for Elden Ring. Comfortability is completely depending on the size of your head and ears, the headset has adjustment sliders that go up and down if you have a bigger or smaller head but the ear cups put a fair amount of pressure on the ears which may be an issue for some people at times including myself

Headphones are working great I opened them up and at first I was upset thinking they did not work but then when I flipped the cord and plugged them into right slots it worked perfectly fine . A sound issue with only one side working on your Astro Headset can be caused by a bad cable connection, bad cable, outdated drivers, or a system setting not set correctly. The good news is we’ve got fixes for all these causes.Once you've beaten Elden Ring for your second, third, or eighth time, you may just want to see what you can do to break the game. The Elden Ring Ultimate Cheat Engine Table gives you the keys to the castle and lets you basically mod the game yourself to do things like create your own spells, spawn bosses, edit stats, use freecam, and tons more. If you receive an error message and it won’t let you turn “Bitstream out” off, then just above “Optical audio,” select “HDMI audio.”
