ASTRO Gaming Introduces Pricey A30 Cross-Gaming Headset in Silver

ASTRO Gaming today introduced the Silver Edition of its popular ASTRO A30 Cross-Gaming Headset, a professional-grade cross-platform audio solution for gamers on-the-go.  Previously available in black and white, the new Silver Edition ASTRO A30 Cross-Gaming Headset features a lightweight street-smart design and delivers tournament-level audio quality and crystal-clear voice communication for music, movies and games across all types of digital entertainment devices, including gaming consoles, PCs and mobile devices.

Well, not really. It’s got a standard headphone jack on it so if you want to use it on your consoles you’ll need an adapter of some sort. So on top of the $130 for the headset you’d need their $130 Mixamp (or alternatively, the Xjacker Soniq Rush which is $20, or win one from GDN) or if you’re just a PC/Xbox 360 user, the SteelSeries Spectrum 7XB which is also expensive at $180 or the Steelseries 5XB which is wired. Just giving you options.

This is right from Astro’s site:

**Most importantly, and ASTRO MixAmp or Wireless MixAmp 5.8 MUST be purchased in order to use Xbox Live and PlayStation Network online voice communication and enable 7.1 Dolby Surround in your A30 Headset.**

Silver Edition ASTRO A30 Cross-Gaming Headset features include:

• ASTRO Gaming Sound and Voice Communication:  The ASTRO A30 uses the same ASTRO Audio DNA developed for the A40 pro gaming headset.
• Dual Mic System:  The removable boom mic provides voice communication for tournament or home play, while the in-line mic allows for on-the-go phone conversations or internet chatting through handheld devices.
• Comfortable, Lightweight On-Ear Design:  The ASTRO A30s are designed to be used outside in the real world, with noise-reducing closed backs and a street-smart, customizable design.
• Interchangeable Speaker Tags:  As with the original A40 design, the ASTRO A30 headset features removable and customizable speaker tags that can be designed online to create a unique look for teams, clans, guilds or simply for pure personal expression.
• Ballistic Nylon Travel Case:  The A30s come standard with a backpack friendly, protective case for traveling to tournaments or a friend’s house.
• ASTRO MixAmp Compatible:  The ASTRO A30 headset is fully compatible with the ASTRO MixAmp system, which allows for full voice communication features across gaming consoles and personal computers.
• Cross-Gaming Cabling Included:  The ASTRO A30 ships with three length appropriate audio cables standard to enable the headset’s superior audio across mobile, PC and gaming consoles.
• Apple Compatible: The ASTRO A30 is the perfect compliment to your Apple products, working natively with Macbooks, iPhones, iPads and iPods.
