  • Music To My Ears: Astro A30 Headset Review
    360 SyncJune 2010
    I do my share of console gaming, but I also listen to my mp3 player a lot on-the-go. Ideally, the A30's would be my new solution for everything audio, no matter the circumstance. I'm oh-so happy to report that this is exactly the case.

    GamesFocus.caJune 2010
    The biggest upside of the A30 headset is its versatility. Not only you can plug it to your PC to use for gaming or voice chat (I've used it recently to record a podcast via Skype) but it can also be used with any device that has a 3.5mm stereo output such as MP3 players, iPhones and your handheld gaming devices among others.
