- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2015I dont review stuff often, so that fact alone should tell you how muvh i love these. All I can say is wow. Most impressive sound I've heard from headphones probably ever. They look nice and sit quite comfortably on the ears, thanks to the memory foam on the speakers and head rest. The noise canceling is astounding. When riding in the car, it blocks out pretty much all the road noise when they're on, not playing music. Amazing. As for the battery life, it is decent. For them being so light, I get about 2 days of almost continuous playback. 3 when I conserve the battery and turn them off when I'm not using them. The range on these is also pretty impressive. I had my phone charging upstairs and I was able to walk around downstairs with little to no glitches in playback. Having the controls on them is also nice when you're away from your phone. After all this positivity there's got to be some negative sides to it, right? Yes...ish. These are the only problems I've found with this headset. After long durations of listening to them, they do start to get a little uncomfortable. Also, when they are hanging on my neck, they sometimes grab one of my chin hairs and pulls it. That's it. No more cons. Got this headset at a steal for $80 (no idea why Amazon had them so low) and I've never had any thoughts about returning them. But probably the best thing about these is getting up from the toilet without pulling my phone with me. Call me crude, but it's pretty nice lol. If you're on the fence about purchasing these, GET THEM. You won't regret it, I promise.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2018The sound is amazing but mic quality is awful. Whenever I turn my mic on via in-game controls I get wired audio distortion and some teammates have trouble hearing me. Audio latency can be very dramatic at first but you get used to it. Latency is an issue with any Bluetooth headset. Astro needs to update this model with the latest Bluetooth technology. The headphone provides great sound quality, I can hear footstep from further away than any of my teammates. Overall, these headphones are oaky, the benefit is that your comfortable while playing on mobile and can even charge as you play if you're using a newer iPhone.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017I've only had this for a week or so, but it's become my go-to headset for SFF gaming (Vita, mobile, etc). I like the sound, I like the feel, I like the easy to use buttons, I like the look and feel. My only concern is with build quality and it's only a potential quality based on what other reviewers have posted.
So I'll keep treating it with kid gloves and hope it lasts me for a couple years.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2019I purchased 3 of these headphones because I absolutely loved the first pair I had when they first came out. I used them for several year until they began to fall apart. All 3 of the ones I bought from this listing developed a very loud crakeling, static sound with in a month of use. Very disappointed in ASTRO.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019Don't buy it, the beep when adjusting the volume or turning on/off the headset will probably damage your hearing.
The noise cancellation is really good.
The volume is good as well.
The mic is horrible most of the time.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015These are great, worth the money. They are extremely comfortable and can easily be worn for many hours without discomfort. The sound can get very high, and there is a little bit of sound leak (i.e. people can hear sound outside of headphones, very faintly) at highest volume settings. On the bumpy parts of a bus ride, you can feel them shake around a little.
I had an issue using these with my MacBook pro. I experienced a lot of sound cutting in and out but someone else's review fixed that for me. The steps to fix it were 1) Turn off wifi 2) connect headset 3) turn wifi back on. I haven't had any more problems.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2015Oh these are pure luxury. I know you don't wan't to pay this much for earphones. I went for 25 years using pods, or other kinds of earphones but first off blue tooth is a very cool thing to have. you can do you neighborhood walks or treadmill at the gym and your headphones pick up the music from your phone which is hidden away. Okay so if that didn't sell it how about the noise cancelation of this brand? Wow do some research on this noise cancelation is very expensive in headphones and these do the trick. I take them to Starbucks where its roaring with people talking and noise and its pure luxury to my ears I hear nothing but the music or video or movie I am playing. Finally Comfort. I have 3 other bluetooth headsets. and they are pure rot. I mean I guess when they were first out they thought people would worry about loosing their headset when running and they pinch your head so hard. well this headset is quite good at staying on and its very comfortable. I don't know if Amazon will continue to sell these at only a hundred bucks but the main website for Astro sells them for Two Hundred 40 plus shipping. I highly recommend you click buy now... Now! Thanks
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2016I say "wireless headphones" because as soon as you enable the microphone, the sound quality goes way down. I don't mean there's some static or sounds tinny or like the other people are muffled, I mean all of the above and then some. A $10 pair of headphones has better sound quality than this when the microphone is enabled, albeit that $10 pair would be wired. The sound quality when the microphone is off, however, is amazing for a wireless headset. As a pair of headphones this would've gotten 5 stars. If you're really going to buy this headset, I suggest keeping the microphone off and using an external attachment like ModMic or a desktop microphone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astro A38 personalisé
Avantages:
- Confortable;
- Bonne réduction des bruits;
- Bon rapport qualité/prix (exemple: le Beats by Dre Solo 2 Wireless autour du même prix n'a pas de réduction des bruits);
- Bon design; et surtout
- Personalisable (voir la photo attachée). J'ai fait faire des "tags" sur le site Astrogaming.com pour 27 Euros de ma fille et du pied de mon fils nouveau-né.
Améliorations:
- Le bruit indicant le changement de volume est pénible car trop fort (même à volume bas). De même celui de marche et d'arrêt;
- Pas d'indication de pile restante (à part sonore);
- Non-utilisable avec un cable; et
- Les boutons du premier casque A38 que j'ai commandé ont cessé de fonctionner pendant ma période de retour d'achats. Je tente ma chance avec le même.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astro a38
Pretty good headset/headphones. Great sound quality, crisp and clear. Great durable case. One thing to note is that the first time you open to use it, you have to charge it for 5 hours then it's good to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente artículo para uso diario
Son unos audífonos ligeros y bastante cómodos, inclusive para personas que como yo se nos puede dificultar encontrar unos que se adapten a pesar de usar lentes todo el día. Los recibí el día de ayer y aunque la primer carga fue bastante larga (aproximadamente 8 horas), valió completamente la pena. Son muy fáciles de emparejar y aunque el único botón que tienen a manera de control de reproducción / manos libres es algo complicado de aprenderte los comandos, al hacerlo todo fluye de manera fenomenal. La potencia es su mayor fuerte, si nos concientizamos en que son un equipo para uso casual o de viaje (no esperes una fidelidad del tipo Sennheiser o Bose, pero sí tienen lo suyo), si subes el volumen al máximo y los dejas apoyados contra tu pecho o cuello, son capaces de convertirse en unos pequeños altavoces. Un gran balance entre medios, bajos y altos; además de que las almohadillas sobre la oreja son de gran calidad y muy suaves. La cancelación de ruido se activa en automático al momento de encenderlos y efectivamente "apaga" el ruido ambiental incluso por debajo de la mitad de su potencia.
Excelente compra, mejor aún si los consigues en Oferta del Día en Amazon o por un precio de remate como el que los adquirí (Menos de $1,000 pesos)
