Logitech G reveals its new Astro A20 X wireless gaming headset — connecting to two devices at once is too good to pass up

by

Logitech G, a leading maker of gaming equipment, recently announced a range of new products at its Logi PLAY event. Among these is the Logitech G Astro A20 X gaming headset, the newest addition to their popular Astro headset series.

As an analyst, I’ve been looking at this new device, and it’s clear they’re really focusing on the total gaming audio experience. It’s designed to deliver a significant jump in sound quality, with a big emphasis on comfort for those long gaming sessions. They’ve also included a lot more software options to let you personalize the sound exactly how you want it. A key feature is the ability to seamlessly switch between audio from two different gaming setups – whether that’s a console, a PC, or both – which is a huge convenience for multi-platform gamers.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Logitech G Astro A20 X gaming headset.

The Logitech G Astro A20 X gaming headset delivers impressive sound for both games and online conversations. A standout feature is Playsync Audio, letting you connect to two gaming devices at once and easily switch between them with a single button press.

The best part about the Logitech G Astro A20 X is its wide compatibility – it works with many gaming systems. You can connect wirelessly, via Bluetooth, or with a USB cable, and all connections support the Playsync Audio feature for a great sound experience.

These devices include:

  • Xbox Series X|S
  • Xbox One
  • PlayStation 4
  • PlayStation 5
  • Nintendo Switch
  • Mobile devices
  • PC
  • Mac

The Playsync Audio button lets you instantly switch between audio from Xbox, PC, and PlayStation games – all while keeping your headset connected to two devices at once. This means you no longer have to unplug and replug your headset when you switch between games on different systems.

The Logitech G Astro A20 X also has a great microphone. It uses the same technology as the higher-end Logitech G A50 X headsets, ensuring your voice sounds clear and crisp whether you’re chatting with friends on Discord or competing in games like Overwatch 2.

This microphone delivers clear, professional-quality sound at a 48 kHz bandwidth. It features a mute button with a light so you always know if you’re on or off, and it can be easily detached. But great sound requires great drivers, and the Logitech G Astro A20 X comes with some of the best available.

Thanks to powerful 40mm PRO-G drivers, you’ll hear every subtle detail in your games and fully experience the immersive soundtrack, all with crystal-clear audio.

Deeper technical specs include:

The Logitech G Astro A20 X also comes installed with many useful software features.

You can personalize your headset using software like the G-Hub or Logitech G Mobile App. These tools allow you to adjust things like sound quality with a 10-band equalizer and customize the headset’s lighting to create a unique style.

I’m really digging the Logitech G Astro A20 X’s “Blue VO!CE Technology.” Basically, it lets you mess with your voice – add filters or effects – while you’re talking through the mic. It’s a fun way to customize how you sound to others online!

As an analyst, I’ve been testing this technology, and it’s really fun! You can completely change how you sound online – think Michael Jackson’s smoothness or the booming voice of a warrior, perfect for pranking your friends. What’s even better is the built-in DSP. It lets you save your favorite voice customizations, so you don’t have to keep tweaking things every time you use Blue VO!CE. It’s a huge time-saver and makes the experience much smoother.

This gaming headset is incredibly comfortable, even for long gaming sessions. It features super-soft memory foam, a comfortable suspension headband, and it’s lightweight – weighing less than 300g – so you won’t feel any pressure or discomfort on your head.

The Logitech G Astro A20 X offers a rechargeable battery that lasts between 40 and 90 hours, depending on if you use the RGB lighting during gameplay.

On a side note: the contents of the Logitech G Astro A20 X within its packaging are:

  • A20 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset
  • Detachable boom mic
  • PLAYSYNC BASE
  • Additional head strap
  • 2x 1.8m USB-C to USB-A cable
  • User documentation

Switching between two consoles may soon be a thing of the past

As someone who follows tech closely, especially at Windows Central, I’ve tested a *lot* of Logitech headsets. And honestly, some of them are truly top-tier – we’re talking about the best gaming headsets you can find for both PC and Xbox.

I’ve been checking out some top-tier headsets lately, and two really stand out. The Astro A50 (Gen 5) is incredible – my friend Jez Corden actually called it the “king of convenience” in his review, giving it a solid 4.5 stars. Then there’s the Logitech G522 LIGHTSPEED, which Zachary Boddy on our team loved for its consistently good performance and stylish look – he gave it 4 stars. Both are seriously impressive!

Looking at the Logitech G Astro A20 X, I think this new headset will continue Logitech G’s tradition of making excellent, long-lasting headsets.

Being able to seamlessly switch between Xbox and PC games and listen to music without constantly reconnecting headphones sounds incredibly convenient – and that’s saying something, even for someone like me who usually prefers wired connections.

My current headphones are starting to fail, so I’m thinking about the Logitech G Astro A20 X as a potential replacement when I finally need to get a new pair. I’m keeping it in mind for a future upgrade.

You can buy the Logitech G Astro A20 X gaming headset now at Logitech’s website for $179.99. It’s available in both black and white.
