    Unable to hear footsteps

    I tried many things to improve the audio quality in games like Call of Duty Warzone and I failed, PC or PS5 the game sound is muddy and makes the enemy footsteps hard to hear them. The headset volume is also kinda low, but it improved a lot with earpads from Wicked cushion, also it added a nice look to my headset matching the red accents, it turned the sound way too boomy so I tried the EQ recommended settings but they didn’t help, I also went further and tried specific EQ for Warzone using the improved earpads to no avail. Funny thing my music wireless headphones makes sniper shots from BF6 sound realistic with full body, here the Astros are disappointing tiny, and adding the EQ settings for FPS games is even worse. So sound quality it totally failed to me, the best thing about this headset is the microphone quality, they got that right with clear voice and also reducing background noise without affecting the voice fullness. But the new A50 feels a step backwards from my older A40 TR, I can’t remove the mic or much less change mic sides, I can’t snap the caps out to make them semi open, the volume control is in a position where I accidentally touch the wheel control when grabbing the headset, it’s frustrating and makes having to readjust my volume an inconvenience. The bluetooth function is tethered to the base, so forget about using it with other devices on the go since you need to carry the base and it needs a power outlet. The multi connection works pretty well I was able to switch between PC and PS5 with no issue, this is the main selling point for this headset and I preferred the USB port connection for the devices rather than the HDMI from the X version, but it comes with only one USB cable for connecting the devices, this is an expensive headset at least it should bring the other 2 cables for connecting multiple devices as advertised. Ultimately these features are downed by the ok sound quality, it’s not good value, you can get better sound quality elsewhere and being unable to hear footsteps properly is a no in my book. Maybe you’re just interested in connecting multiple devices with good wireless connectivity and great mic but a headset should sound as a good as the price range is being set for.

    Give them a try

    Good sound quality for music and games. Lightweight and comfortable . They look good in a white setup First pair of Astro’s expected a bit more but happy with my purchase.

    Pricey! But the best i've used thus far.

    I had my eye on these for a few years but the price point kept me from committing. I saw they were on sale at the same time I happened to be in dire need of a new headset so it seemed fate finally brought us together. It's great! The mic and sound quality as well as the build all meet or exceed expectations. And the neat charging base gives them a higher end vibe but also ensures they will be fully charged after every use. The only con imo is their price point. These are definitely pricey and probably aren't really for the casual gamer demographic. But if you're really in the market for a high quality wireless headset and have the funds to purchase at this price point then I would definitely recommend as it is truly the best headset i've owned.
