For fans of The Mandalorian or anyone after a headset with cross-platform support, the Logitech Astro A30 (Mandalorian Edition) might be worth a closer look—especially now that it’s hit its lowest-ever price (according to price trackers) of $119.99 on Woot (down from $249). The same model is currently $175 on Amazon, making this Woot deal a solid choice if you’re in the contiguous U.S. (Woot doesn’t ship elsewhere). This deal is live for eight days or until its stock runs out. Free shipping applies to Prime members; others will need to cough up $6. The headset ships with a 90-day Woot limited warranty and includes everything you’d expect: a USB transmitter, a detachable boom mic, charging and audio cables, and a hard-shell carry case.

Design-wise, the Mandalorian theme isn’t just a slap-on sticker job. It’s finished to resemble Beskar Steel, with Din Djarin and the Mudhorn signet featured on the speaker tags. It’s a slick look, no doubt, but comfort-wise it's more of a mixed bag. The rectangular earcups are padded with memory foam and faux leather that feels soft and breathable. However, the rubberized headband can press down a little harder than you’d like during longer sessions, especially compared to headsets with more suspension-style designs, notes this PCMag review. The controls are compact but can be tricky—the small four-way switch that lets you toggle volume and game/chat mix might not be the easiest to use if you have larger hands.

Performance is generally OK. The A30 supports both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless through a USB-A dongle (USB-C transmitter sold separately if you want one for your Switch or PS5). It works with PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and mobile devices, but switching between systems can reportedly be a chore, especially when sound levels drop if you forget to change modes. There’s also no built-in spatial audio, so you’ll be relying on your system’s surround settings. Sound-wise, the A30 favors clarity over raw bass. Music and in-game audio sound detailed at moderate volumes, but things flatten out if you push the volume too high. The boom mic is fine for chat, but not sharp enough for streaming or recording. You can tweak the settings like EQ via the Logitech G app, but it only comes with two presets.
