There are so many fun ways to subtly notify strangers not to bother you with weather observations and other idle chitchat. For example, you might try riding the bus while soaked in fake blood, white knuckling a hunting knife, rocking back and forth and quietly chanting the words to “He’s got the whole world in his hands.”

Better yet, try encapsulating yourself inside of an invisible fortress of solitude by sporting a big honking pair of headphones— and there’s no pair more stylish or technically proficient than the spankin’ new Astro A30 Headset, on sale today. Based on the tech inside of Astro’s tournament-favored A40 gaming sound goggles, the A30 unit bills itself as the first, truly cross-platform headset for gamers. How’s that? The boom-mic can be swapped for a mobile-friendly in-line one and the set includes three different cables for jacking into a PC, console or handheld device.

And, like its predecessor, the A30 can be detailed with magnetic speaker tags that are customizable with your very own text and images. Like, say, a photo of dog chocolate and a message that reads, “What I think of your conversation.”
