Q: Does the new A10 Headset provide surround sound?
A: The A10 Headset is a 3.5mm stereo headset, which means it only delivers audio (via a left and right channel); when connected to any device capable of processing and sending a surround sound signal will the A10 deliver Surround Sound.

Q: Can I use Speaker Tags on the A10 Headset?
A: No. Only the A40 TR Headset offers customizable Speaker Tags.
Q: I can’t be heard by other players. What gives?
A: First, make sure the gray end of the A10 Volume Control Cable is fully seated in the headset. Next, make sure your microphone is down around your mouth. When the mic is in the up position, it is muted. Finally, test the microphone by plugging your A10 directly into a smartphone and make a phone call or record a message by talking directly into the microphone on the headset. Be sure to hold the phone away from you so you do not pick up your voice with your phone’s microphone. If you’re still experiencing issues, please contact Customer Support: astro.gg/AGHELP.
