#White astro a10 headset series

The leatherette ear cups make a solid seal around my ear and have proper airflow. Their lightweight build makes them barely noticeable and I don’t get any aches during long gaming sessions. The Cloud Alpha S give me an equal if not better comfort experience than the A10. A10 put no strain on my head during long use.

The squared-off ear cups are soft, fit my whole ear, and never get too humid. Their lightweight build makes them barely noticeable on my head, yet maintains a solid fit that doesn’t move. Regardless, the Cloud Alpha S easily surpasses the A10 with their unique functionality features that I haven’t seen on any other headset. To be fair, the A10 don’t have much additional functionality, so the bar isn’t set very high. With functionality included in the mix, the HyperX Cloud Alpha S easily take the win. With that said, the A10 do offer a number of color options, including a couple that use white as the primary color, that are much more enticing than this grey version.ĭespite the earcups looking a bit bulky on both headphones, the Cloud Alpha S oval ear cups are more appealing. The black also comes across as sharper than the base grey color of the A10. I much prefer the color combo of the Cloud Alpha S, with its clean blue stitching on the leather. Winner: Design and Functionality Verdict Boxy design of the A10 compared to the oval design of the Cloud Alpha S. What is also cool is at the back of the earcups are bass adjustment sliders that let you quickly and conveniently adjust the bass levels. This activates 7.1 surround sound and lets you mute the mic, adjust volume, and even chat volume. Also attached to the cable is the USB audio control mixer. To get the boring stuff out of the way first, the mic and audio cable are both removable. Bass adjustment sliders on the back and USB audio control mixer for adjusting chat and sound volume. The Cloud Alpha S superior functionality stands out. I also know it will pay huge dividends in the build quality section. The ear cups are connected to the headset by a metal yolk, which makes the ear cups look a bit bulky, but isn’t entirely unattractive. For both headphones, this color combination is attractive and professional. The Cloud Alpha S went with a black and blue color combo, which the A10s also offer. The headset looks very bulky because of the boxy earcups and gives me the impression they will sit awkwardly on my head.Īstro headphones are compatible with the Astro MixAmp (purchased separately) which further opens up customization and functionality features for the A10. The grey and orange color combo isn’t my preferred choice, but there are other color variations such as white/blue and red/black which are more appealing. Design and Functionality Astro Gaming A10 I get excited about opening the Cloud Alpha S packaging and feel like I am getting bonus accessories, giving it the win. The Cloud Alpha S also have a travel bag and additional cloth ear padding for included accessories, which need to be purchased separately for the A10. Rather than intriguing me, the A10 turns me away. The plastic mold left no open space and intrigues me to look at the accessories. Winner: Packaging and Accessories Verdictĭespite both headphones using similar packaging, it’s evident the Cloud Alpha S do it better. This shows that HyperX cares about the customer’s first impressions and experiences. The Cloud Alpha S comes with additional cloth ear cushions and even a travel bag. It’s also transparent, allowing me to see the accessories below, which piques my interest and makes me feel like I am getting more than what I purchased. The packaging fills the entire space of the box and creates a deep mold for the headset to sit in. The HyperX Cloud Alpha S packaging and accessories are something to get excited about.Īt first glance, it is obvious that the Cloud Alpha S have better plastic packaging than the A10. HyperX Cloud Alpha S In the box:Īdditional travel bag and cloth ear pads included as the accessories for the headset.

I don’t feel the package is bad, but they definitely could have put more effort in to get me excited about the product I am opening. This gives me a merely average impression. The minimal accessories and additional wiring are nestled between the headset. The headset is snug in place with a plastic mold but little protection and plenty of open space. The A10 give a passable effort for their packaging. Look at how the A10 came packaged with a lot of open space in the box.
