Gaming headphones are a weird breed; they're made for extended listening, voice chat and for daily harsh treatment. Gamers play on a wide range of different devices, but Astro's mid-range A38 is made for the gamers out there that don't have a console — if...

The $279.95 Astro A38 is a competent, versatile, no-surprises gaming headset. Its noise cancellation isn't as good as proper noise cancelling headphones like the Parrot Zik 2.0 and the Bose QuietComfort 25, but that's in part because it's an on-ear model...

It's expected that great, high-performing technology doesn't come cheap, but for $230, I think the average gamer would expect a bit more. Whether that means adding a 3.5mm jack for easier PC gaming, or a better microphone, is ultimately up to Astro Gamin...

I honestly don't even know how to rate the Astro A38. Technically it's a gaming headset, sure, but it's abundantly clear Astro doesn't really expect you to use these very often with your PC. Everything about this headset was designed with cell phones in m...

Gaming is more mobile than ever. Whether it's Android, iPhone, tablet or PS Vita, you can play games wherever you are. Waiting in the doctor's office? Fire up some GTA. Even while on the bus, in a taxi, or on a plane, gaming now knows no bounds. But that...
the Astro A38 is a great bluetooth headset if that is solely what you're looking for. For the price of $230, it's a little boggling that it ignores the most popular handheld gaming console (the 3DS) and can't be used with consoles or PC. This could be o...
