Let me start by saying I was skeptical about buying a refurbished headset, but the Logitech Astro A20 surprised me. The sound quality is crisp, especially for gaming—I could hear enemy footsteps in Call of Duty like never before. The 40mm drivers deliver that competitive edge, just as advertised.

The comfort? Mostly great. The cloth ear cushions are soft, but after 4+ hours, the headband started pressing on my crown (I fixed it by wrapping a bandana around it). Battery life is a win—15 hours means no mid-raid panic charging. Though, fair warning: charging takes forever (8 hours?!).

The flip-up mic mute is genius, but the mic itself is… meh. My friends said I sounded like I was yelling even at 70% volume. Noise cancellation? Solid—my cat’s midnight yowls didn’t bleed into Discord. But the refurb lottery is real: my first unit had a faulty receiver (replaced quickly by Amazon), and it arrived with a faint fast-food smell (yes, I wiped it down).

For the price? Worth it—if you’re okay with minor quirks. Just update the firmware ASAP and maybe keep an optical cable handy.
