Budget brilliance? Astro A10 gen 2 unboxing and review

This is a review of the Astro A10 Gen 2, in mint green. I'll be honest, I have been surprised by this headset, it's not as rubbish as I expected it to be be. It's loud, sounds decent and has an ok mic. I'm using the mic for the voice over here.

Highlights of the Astro A10 Gen 2:
Decent flexible design
Reasonable clamping force
Decent microphone
Lightweight fit that's not uncomfortable
Surprisingly loud considering the drivers

Lowlights:
Mic picks up some background noise
Ear cups are a bit shallow
May be a problem for larger heads
