Nuked Astro’s latest wireless gaming headset, the A20 gen 2, is an upgraded version of the 2017 model. It will ship in October for $ 119, which is considerably down from the previous-generation A20 was priced at $ 149.
The A20 gen 2 headset will ship in two different color mixes: blue, white, and black for a Playstation-like vibe. Each includes a USB Type-A wireless adapter that lets it easily connect to the console.
Astro says it could n’t cram compatibility for both consoles into one adapter. If you get both adapters, you’ll need to use the correct adapter, then tap a sync button on the adapter to connect it to the A20 gen 2.
Astro is also sharing its plan for supporting its older headsets as the next generation of consoles is about to arrive. The xsx and ps5 controllers feature a headphone jack.
The base station connects to the xsx’s USB port to get the same features – no optical audio needed. Astro says that wireless headsets from the Xbox 360 era are being left behind.
Sony’s next-gen console does n’t have an optical audio port. Astro is releasing an hdmi-to-optical audio splitter. It supports HDMI 2.1, HDCP, and 4K passthrough.
