Multi-device audio & comfort king, but buggy software.

Eclipse_GalianI have the astro A10 gen1 and they're pretty good but the padding on the band have worn out do you think the A50s are worth the money?
Fit_Boysenberry960Astro A10 gen 1 Used for several years, almost no wear + tear Good audio and comfortable around ears, relatively cheap. Only downside is the small amount of padding on top and not sound cancelling. A10 Gen 2 fixes this/these issues and is also wireless
VanaheimRangerI use some gen 1 Astro A10s . The mic is godawful, do not recommend.
Appropriate-Hair-850Theyve been pretty comfy for me even after wearing them a while. I dont think they get hot either. I had a pair or astro a10s before and those got really uncomfortable after a few hours
AyeYoBI’m still rocking the a10s and they’re holding up well for me
