    EXCELLENT Headset for gaming

    TIRED OF WIRED? PROS: (WORKS WITH PS5!) I was too, my original astro a10s were fine, but my cat kept on bitting the wire and I'd bought 4 replacement cords until I decided to get the astro a50. First of really comfortable the ear cups swivel and can be extended to a considerable length, I have a big head and low ears and wore my a10s on max length the a50s have even more length. The foam ear cushions really comfortable and are easily removable for cleaning as they are magnetic and can be replaced with new ones. The base station works with ps5, ps4, Mac, and pc just trough usb although you can an optical cable its a lot easier just to switch between USB as the quality of sound is still the best I've tried so far. The wireless frequency is on a 2.4ghz frequency which means that this headset can reach up to 30 feet of range before it starts slightly cutting audio. Battery life last I'd say at least 12 hours before being charged. You can charge it while using it because it accepts micro usb straight into the headset but it gets a little hot. You can change between game and chat audio in the play station settings but on the side panel it easier to adjust during a game. The max volume is really loud. Flip to mute is really good so you don't have to fiddle with a wire. turns off automatically when put down and not moving. CONS: Its $300!+tax Its hard to lay down with this headset as the buttons on the back can be pressed easily, and the headset can be pushed very easily as the headset is considerably big, but no heavy. When placing down to charge its a little tricky because the magnets can suck the headset into the wrong place and not be charging. You can place the headset better yourself which is something you have to learn because at first I was letting it charge and I didn't place it right the lights wire flashing but the wrong way and I had to adjust it after 30 mins of not charging I tried using it just to find out its not charged. it takes about an hour to be charged from 0-100. It will not charge on the ps5 when its off even in rest mode which is a little annoying because I have to switch it to my Mac to charge overnight. I have lengthy curly hair and sometime the hair gets caught in the magnetic ear cushion or top head rest that is also replaceable.

    A-50

    They are a bit pricey yes. But this is one of those times you pay for what you get. These are the absolute best and i mean best headset i could ever imagine or helped for. The range is unreal the guilty 100% the mic is perfect the feel is super comfortable the charging port is awesome they stay charged for days. The first headset i have ever had to turn down. I could never hear that well with other like the beach ones of they allowed me to rate these it would be a 10 out of a 10 ratings.

    A50 Gen 4 Gaming Headset is pretty good

    Pros: - Comfortable - Decent frame - 2 Options to charge the headset, w/ Micro USB or Base Station - Equalizer customisation +Advanced Settings - Dolby Atmos Compatible - Gaming and Music Audio is pretty good and loud - Microphone sounds good + Good Noise Gate options - Decent Directional Accuracy - Convenient Microphone switch (Flip up turns off, Flip down turns on) - Buttons on headset you can change between Dolby or PC and saved Equalizer options you have setup or using preset - Wireless + Decent Range away from base station - Good Bass Cons: - No Bluetooth connectivity, if you want to use it, you'll need the base station in order to use the headset. - Gets warm around the ears when used during very long hours - Prefer a button just to mute the microphone over flipping it up or down - Little bit heavy - Some games you may not be able to hear other players but they can hear you. (I only had this issue w/ Destiny 2. Haven't tried other MP games yet.) (VERY IMPORTANT) There are two versions of ACC(Astro Command Center) one in the Microsoft Store and one on the website. For me, I had to use the one from the website, as the Microsoft Store version wasn't able to pick up my headset at all. I went through the process of resetting it and whatnot. So I would test using the one from the website before using the Microsoft Store. Also do follow the steps from the video. I wish there was a button so you can just mute/unmute the microphone, but I guess flipping is more of a convenient sake. And able to use the headset via Bluetooth. Overall, I quite enjoy the headsets as they do satisfy my needs and wants for gaming and music listening. Also the clear and good quality sounding of a microphone they have, its probably not the best. But in terms for headsets, this is pretty good. The program is easy to use and navigate.
