Logitech - Astro A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless with PLAYSYNC Gaming Headset + Base Station for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC/MAC - White

This headset was pricey, $400 wow. However the microphone quality is that of the A40 TR wired, which is a great thing. It's one of the only wireless headsets that I've had that actually has great mic and sound quality, with the game/chat mix. I don't use the HDMI switcher function, but I use it straight with my PC. The bluetooth function works seamlessly with my phone while using it on my PC. I do have a weird issue when using the headset for the first time of the day, where I press the voice mix button once and it restarts after some nastly loud clicks, but I will try to contact logitech support about it since I've had it for about a year now. Every other issue I've had has been fixed with firmware updates from Logitech. I do wish it used the old ASTRO app instead of the heavyweight logitech g software, but it is what it is. The stock earcups are fine, but I replaced them with some aftermarket ones that make it a closed system and contain the sound better. I do also wish it didn't need to be plugged in with a special cable, but again, it is what it is. Being able to plug in if it dies is a great feature, although it hasn't died for me once yet, even after using it for 12-16 hours at a time for work or play.

I just upgraded from the Astro A40's with the mixamp to the wireless Astro A50's and I could not be happier. I can get the same sound quality I've grown to know and love without being limited or inconvenienced by a cord. The bluetooth range is excellent, I can go downstairs to make food or across my house to use the bathroom and still be within range. The wireless charging dock comes in clutch big time. I have never once had this headset die on me, the 24 hour charge goes wild. I leave mine on the dock overnight to charge and I'm good to play as long as I want to the next day. It took me a little while to get familiar with the voice to game ratio on the side but it makes a lot more sense having used it for a couple weeks. My only recommendation, if you are using this with an xbox series x, please purchase an additional hdmi cord that is high quality. They include everything else in the box with your headset but you'll need one from your xbox to your tv (will come with the xbox) and one from the wireless charging dock to the xbox. Setting up the cables was a bit confusing but they offer online tutorials for every console/pc set up you could be using this headset for. This is my first set of wireless headphones by astro and I'm convinced. I was already set on sticking to astro for any future purchases from their sound quality and comfort to wear, but after seeing what this wireless headset can do, I will only be upgrading with the next set of wireless astro upgrades after these become outdated beyond use.

I like the overall fit sound and feeling of the headphones a lot of people say they have a lot of clamp which I can’t tell and I have a pretty big head the switching from game systems with the press of a button if very convenient but annoying because I have a computer and my ps5 is right beside it and you can only use one at a time and and I want to stream my ps5 to discord sometimes other than that the headphones have bluetooth last 24 hours and charge pretty quick and there’s also a port to play and charge at the same time. The cups fit nicely and very soft and you have a option to switch them out and get the mod kit I wish there was noise cancellation for how pricey the headphones are but they all around are great and some niche and really nice things I like about it the quality of the headphones scare me a bit cause they are all plastic and the headphones swivel points are metal but I had a old pair of a40 and they lasted me 10 years since 360 days so if you don’t rage or beat them up they’ll be fine they’re very good looking and also come with a app you can adjust your side tone microphone sound and adjust your eq for the best gaming experience
