Astro Gaming has occupied the high-end of gaming headsets for esports pros. But it is moving into the affordable part of the market with the launch of the Astro A10 Gaming Headset, which will be available for as low as $60.

That means that Astro Gaming will compete with rivals such as Turtle Beach, which has about 40 percent of the retail market in the U.S. for gaming headsets. The company made the announcement at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) game trade show in Los Angeles. The headsets work on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Mac, and Windows PC. They fit comfortably over virtual reality headsets.
