"The A20 X ships with a transmitter called the Playsync Base that can receive audio inputs via USB from two platforms. When you press the button on the back of the headset's right ear cup, a subtle LED light on the transmitter will jump between sources, lit to indicate where your audio is currently coming from. The execution here isn't too different from what I've seen in other - typically pricier - gaming headsets, namely some of Astro's own."
"The A20 X has other hardware staples we expect to see, like a dedicated two-button rocker for adjusting the game and chat audio (it's on the opposite ear cup from the volume rocker, so as to avoid confusion). It has a flexible, detachable boom microphone, a mute button, and Bluetooth 5.3 compatibility with phones and other mobile devices. However, its Bluetooth support doesn't include concurrent wireless connections; it's one or the other."
The Astro A20 X launches October 8 for $179.99 as a wireless gaming headset that supports Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC. The headset includes a Playsync Base transmitter that accepts USB audio from two platforms and offers source switching via a button on the headset; an LED on the transmitter indicates the active source. The model provides a dedicated two-button rocker for game/chat balance, a separate volume rocker, a detachable boom microphone, mute control, and Bluetooth 5.3 for mobile devices. Bluetooth connections are not simultaneous with the wireless transmitter. The A20 X aims to deliver multi-platform convenience at a lower price than many competitors.
