The new Astro A10's Generation 2 are coming

Astro have announced that the second generation of the A10 gaming headset is coming out soon, taking what was loved about the original release and improving on it and everything else. The headset comes in five striking colours, but at the same time is carbon neutral, meaning that carbon offsets were financed to reduce the carbon impact of the product to zero.

Weighing in at only 246 grams, the A10 Gen 2 is lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day. The A10 Gen 2 fits a wide range of people, but it's designed and optimized for the comfort of smaller head sizes. The padded headband and memory foam ear pads, associated with a lightweight construction, provide feather-like comfort.

“With the new A10, we focused on the idea of building to the needs and wants of the new generation customer, not just being a next generation product. We made several improvements in performance and feature set, while also building a headset that is lightweight, comfortable and flexible for today’s multiple gaming scenarios. It's available in a number of bold colorways to reflect individual personality and style, and importantly, we are able to do so in a way that is sustainable for the planet and our society,” said Peter Kingsley, CMO at Logitech G..

The A10 Gen 2 delivers balanced, high-fidelity audio with custom-tuned 32mm ASTRO Audio dynamic drivers for an immersive experience. The advanced integrated boom microphone can be flipped up to mute for privacy and down for crystal-clear comms via 6.0mm unidirectional mic.

The headsets have launched in the USA today, so they should be releasing here soon, but there is no exact date yet, beyond March 2022. When they do launch here though, the RRP will be $99.95
