- A: AnswerIt works for both 2.1 and 2.0
Answered by JWINTER09
- A: AnswerWith Bluetooth it should connect to your phone so you can stream music that way at the same time. It cannot connect to pc and Xbox at the same time though since it can only toggle between both. So the only combination possible is (console+ Bluetooth)
Answered by AndresG
- A: AnswerI agree! I paid around $10.00 extra for shipping because they quoted that it would arrive on 02/22/2024. However, yesterday I received an email informing me that there is a delay. Now, it will be delivered on 02/24/2024 (hopefully). What was the point of paying extra for shipping then? Unacceptable!

Convenient
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this wireless headset can do, I will only be upgrading with the next set of wireless astro upgrades after these become outdated beyond use.

Real gamers won’t wince at this investment!
I fell in love with the A50’s and with next gen gaming removing the optical audio port, the sound quality declined exponentially. After trying Turtle Beach, Steel Series, Hyper X, and Astros A30’s, nothing could replace or compare to the experience of Astro A50’s and the charging system or flawless connectivity. Forget every wireless via dongle system with the countless unplug and plug back in reboots. When I heard the news that Astro would release the A50X’s, I was ecstatic. The only con of this headset is the price. After watching a few extensive review videos I came to the understanding of the price difference from previous generations and the new tech in this package. This docking system has a splitter to where if you have a Xbox series X, a PlayStation 5, and a PC, with the button on the side of the headset you can quickly switch sources. In my personal opinion, for Xbox series X, this headset is worth the investment for comfort, sound quality, and not a single wireless connectivity issue whatsoever. If you have two of the supported systems, I would say it is more valuable. If you have all three: Xbox, PlayStation, and a PC, it is one hundred percent worth the money. One headset for three platforms, with easy access between the three. No more buying a new headset for when you switch consoles or PC. I sold my method of transportation to buy this and I can’t leave the house now. I guess I didn’t plan on ever leaving the house again after securing this headset.

Expensive but works well.
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.
