Logitech has introduced the Astro A20 X wi-fi gaming headset, which has a function that console gamers would possibly admire having: it allows you to swap between audio from two platforms, be it an Xbox, Swap, PC, or PS5. It launches October eighth for $179.99.
The A20 X ships with a transmitter referred to as the Playsync Base that may obtain audio inputs by way of USB from two platforms. Whenever you press the button on the again of the headset’s proper ear cup, a refined LED mild on the transmitter will leap between sources, lit to point the place your audio is presently coming from.
The execution right here isn’t too totally different from what I’ve seen in different — sometimes pricier — gaming headsets, specifically a few of Astro’s personal. The $399 A50 X and $299 A50 Gen 5 each permit simple audio switching for 2 consoles (the A50 X additionally contains video switching by way of two HDMI-in ports), as do SteelSeries’ $300-ish Arctis Nova Professional Wi-fi and its $180-ish wired counterpart. All of those options make it so that you don’t have to go away your chair to swap audio sources. This one simply so occurs to be essentially the most reasonably priced wi-fi possibility that I’ve seen that helps Xbox, PlayStation, Swap, and PC in a single mannequin, even when $179.99 nonetheless isn’t low-cost.
The A20 X has different {hardware} staples we count on to see, like a devoted two-button rocker for adjusting the sport and chat audio (it’s on the alternative ear cup from the amount rocker, in order to keep away from confusion). It has a versatile, removable increase microphone, a mute button, and Bluetooth 5.3 compatibility with telephones and different cellular gadgets. Nonetheless, its Bluetooth assist doesn’t embody concurrent wi-fi connections; it’s one or the opposite.
