ASTRO Gaming - A50 Wireless Headset for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows

These headphones have amazing audio, they are super comfortable, and everyone is jealous!

These headset are one of the greatest headset ever. This is worth $300 because these are used in mlg. And astro the company is one of the top named companys of headsets. If u play call of duty you really want to know where the enemy is. So this headst tells you really really clearly where the enemy is. Even there are three buttoms on them for movies, music, and gaming, For movies and gaming it makes you feel like you actually there and for music that button gives you more base. And this works on pc, ps3, and xbox. And the best part of this headset Its completey 100% wireless for ps3, but for xbox you just need one wire to connect to the controllor and headset, and other wires are for the reciver. If you get this headset you'll never regret it.

I've had these for a short time and they are pretty nice. Good crisp sound, but most importantly wireless for all functions except xbox which requires the aux cable still. The range of the headset is not very far, about 30 feet, has trouble catching signal through walls. They are compatible with xbox, ps3, and pc. The ps3 and pc are capable of going completely wireless with this headset. Stand and receiver are nice and clean. Overall, product is pricey as hell and they are made by skull candy brand. Not sure how they'll hold up, but I bought the bestbuy warranty for $40 or something and I can say I'm happy because I've gone through headsets very quickly due to weak design. These feel very comfortable and solid with a lot of cool features on it. One of the better headsets I've owned.

This headset is a must have for those who are serious about getting the most out of their games, and are not concerned with paying a little more for a far superior product. After purchasing this headset, I find it difficult to game without having it on. The sound quality is phenomenal. I would highly recommend installing the update from the ASTRO gaming website while setting up the headset. Which may be a drawback for those who may not have the knowledge base to do so, however the website does have instructions to help guide you through the process. The Packaging includes everything you need including a nice display stand which is great for keeping your headset available at a moments notice. The finish is not real shiny and more of a matte which is great because I don't have to worry about fingerprints or smudges showing up all over my headset.The headset is also really comfortable and I do not feel discomfort during extended gaming sessions. The only thing I can say that is a drawback from the headset is how short the charging cable is when you need to charge the headset. It makes it nearly impossible to keep playing unless you want your face to be way too close to the television. So If you are thinking about purchasing this product I would also recommend getting the longer play and charge cable for this headset which you can also purchase from the ASTRO gaming website. I know this review may be a little bit longer than most, but I sincerely hope this is helpful to you, the reader.

I have a used a ton of gaming headsets from Turtlebeach, Triton, Razer etc The Astros are light, almost to the point I feel I would break them, but they are quite robust, and have handled a few drops already. Comfortable ear cups, and head seat. The sound is amazing, and handles a great range of sounds from great lows for listening to action movies, to sounding footsteps in specific locations. The sound is only adjustable from 3 presets, this where the Turtle Beach Deltas, and Tritons win with better customization in equalization. Though it may not be needed by most. The adjustment for voice and game works awful. I can not get the balance of game, and chat to work with out one drowning the other out. The buttons to control this are huge, and every time I take the headphones on and off, I bump it, making it a pain to find my happy medium. Updating the firmware was a nightmare. Rendered my headset useless for hours waiting for the battery to die, and restart pairing and update process. They are not documented very well, and searching their pages for answers is a pain. All they explain is about returns, and how to obtain warranty... useless... FAQ, and forum wasn't helpful either. I use these for my PS4, and PC. I like them, but are not my favorite. I actually like my Sony Pulse Elites for PS4 better to control chat , and game volume. Astros are clearer in chat, and extremely sensitive, and do not drop audio signals from current wireless device interference. In the end, 300 is a lot for these headphones, but for the moment they handle quite well in a house with a lot of wireless devices where my sonys, turtles, and other wireless are starting to feel the pain, and I suffer signal loss.

The setup and updates are easy. These are a little heavier on your head, but so far they seem pretty sturdy and aren't too uncomfortable. They have good sound, so far I am very pleased. They DO NOT work with the old style fat 360, even with an optical adapter, which is quite disappointing. Works great with the xbox one. You must have the adapter to use with the xbox one, but I actually like it because the adapter has volume control and a mute button so then I don't have to play with the headset while in a match. For the PS3/PS4 I had one of the original PS3 full headsets (older style).. These blow the sound from those out of the water and I plan to junk those and use these instead. Overall pretty pleased, minus the older style fat 360 incompatibility.

So far I am really impressed with this headset. I previously had the Tritton Ax Pro headset, which I was very happy with, unfortunately it went out on me after about 5 years. I did a lot of research and constantly saw Astro's at the top of everyone's lists and the reviews from consumers were good too so I went for it. Have to say I'm happy with the choice. They are very comfortable, and the headphone fold out option is nice during those long gaming sessions. Haven't had any problems with the wireless either, the range is good and so far haven't run out of battery while playing. Haven't noticed any lag on the sound which was the main thing wireless worried me about. Sounds are very rich and bass is deep!! There is an update in the PS4 for USB, so it is compatible. I always say that you get what you pay for! Highly recommend, best wireless set out there!!

All in all they are very well made, rugged to the touch and look. The best part is playing for hours without making your ears hurt. Great battery life!
