- Logitech has revealed Astro A20 x Gaming Headset
- This Multiplatform -Game Headset is easy and can boast of impressive battery life
- Its design is almost identical to the existing Logitech G522 but
Logitech has just revealed the Astro A20 x Gaming Headset, a new model in its multi-platform astro family.
A sequel of Astro A20, A20 X is designed to deliver premium sound with 40mm Pro-G sound drivers and the same high resolution 48 kHz microphone found on high-end Astro A50 X.
If only 10.2 OZ / 290G is an impressively light headset and offers a high level of comfort thanks to its lavish memory foam cups.
It also boasts eight custom lighting zones, adjustable via the compatible Logitech G HUB PC software. When it comes to the life of the battery, you get about 40 hours of RGB on and about 90 hours with it away – more than enough for most players.

As good as all this sounds, I’m still disappointed with Astro A20 X. Physically, it looks almost identical to the existing Logitech G522 Lightspeed – a recent headset that came with very similar technology under the hood.
Despite a few red cosmetic elements, the Astro A20 x has very little in common with the design of other astro products that tend to have a more angle. The headset doesn’t even seem to have the Astro logo on it, which makes me question why it is even marketed with this name in the first place.
The headset comes bundled with a unique Playsync base that differentiates it from the G522, and a new button that allows you to swable between two platforms, but I’m not sure it justifies the use of the astro brand and it’s a shame to see it losing some of its identity as a result.
Astro A20 x hits the shelves in October in black or white. It comes in at $ 179.99, which is slightly higher than $ 159.99 -request price for the G522 – pretty fair considering the base of the base.
The British award is TBC at the time of writing, though I expect it to cost around £ 20 more than £ 139.99 G522.
