Gaming Nexus: "It looks like Astro has another big hit on their hands."

While Gaming Nexus Editor-in-Chief Charles Husemann claims to be "…a bit of a n00b to the audio headset arena," his review of the Astro A50 wireless audio headset provided him with some insight into why Astro's products inspire the devotion of "…some people who are hardcore into audio headsets." After commenting on the headset's relatively light weight, he goes on to say, "The next thing I noticed was how good the audio sounded.

This is significant because it allows them to use send uncompressed audio between the base station and the headset, resulting in a spectacular audio from the headsets." Read the whole review >>
