This headset fits all your needs. Crystal clear sound, comfortable, and good battery life

Best gaming headset I ever used. Connection, audio quality and battery life is top notch. You won't regret this purchase!

Excellent product great sound quality perfect head fitment

Great headset! Comfortable on the head! Great sound division! Great Battery Life!

A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. You really do get what you pay for. The gaming acoustics are top notch..... you can hear the softest of footsteps, getting the advantage on other players in-game. The game chat is clear, which is a must. The headset itself is well made, comfortable out of the box. I did spend the money on the upgraded cushions, but it was a preference. Overall, nice fitting headset. I hope this helps. - P

The sound quality is great but there are a few things I don’t like that my cheaper turtle beach stealth 700s series 2 did better. The major thing is you can not wear these A50s and charge them simultaneously. They will only charge on the base. Also the base using micro usb instead of usb C in 2021 seemed odd to me but not a big deal. My other main issue is the game volume and chat volume blend/balance is a button on the side that you push on either direction to turn the volume higher to either game or chat as opposed to each having its own dedicated wheel where you can adjust the volume independently like the 700s. So for the amount of money spent I’m still deciding if I think they’re better. But if you’re like an audiophile and really care about sound quality you’d for sure like these more

I’ve had this headset for over two years and it still works amazing.

Absolutely the best headset I’ve owned to this day, I highly recommend. I really enjoy the ease of the headset being cordless.

The balance of game and voice volume can be tricky sometimes. The padding along the top of the headset is removable, so it pops out sometimes, which is annoying. Sound quality is fantastic and is quite comfortable otherwise.

As hard as I tried I couldn't give the A50s more than 2 stars. I had my A40s for nearly 7 years, absolutely loved them, wanted to go wireless, and for another 7 years of use the price tag would have been worth it. Things started out great: they're extremely comfortable and I thought the sound quality was excellent. That's where the pros stop and the cons begin. Finding the correct balance between game and chat volume is nearly impossible. It's not easy to just place the headset on the base to charge, but it's not the end of the world. The BIGGEST problem, however, is that the microphone is an absolutely massive steaming pile of garbage. I joined an Xbox Live Party and every one of my friends said it sounded like I was talking using a tin can + string phone. My friend (who also had A40s for 7 years and bought A50s with me) also sounded the same way to me. When playing games, my voice came through so quietly (even with the mic level all the way up and my party chat volume for my friends all the way up) they could barely hear me over the game sounds. I plugged it into my computer, made a phone call, and the sound was crisp and clean on both ends. If you're using this for the computer or solo Xbox gaming: go for it. If you're using this for Xbox multiplayer gaming: STAY FAR AWAY! Save the money, deal with the cord, and buy some A40s (it's what I did eventually). Also, ASTRO support is awful. There's no customer service number to call. They have you write them an email and then they never respond to it. This headset sucked so much that I took the time to re-write this review after I accidentally deleted the first one.

I gave these headphones to my 25 year old grandson as a gift. He said he had read great reviews about these headphones in the past. However, he said the sound quality and comfort far surpass what he was expecting. He is a big gamer and wears the headphones for long periods of time. Setup was a breeze. The headphones also have the capability to receive phone calls, which is a nice feature. The only downside is they are somewhat pricey

Headphones are very comfortable. Sound well and are easy to setup. Recommend to anyone looking for a quality headset

It’s alright if you don’t have the mix amp to go with it. I don’t know if I had gotten a defective one or not but the volume was just too low to really be effective in any competitive game like R6. I ended up returning the A50s. However I picked up the A40 with the mix amp included for a bit less than the standalone A50s I believe and they work wonderfully. Don’t get me wrong A50s are great. Great cushions and I could tell that the sound quality was decent for sure but just wasn’t quite loud enough without the mix amp to help out which was sadly a deal breaker for me as I game pretty seriously. Still maybe try them out and return them if you don’t like them within 14 days for a full refund

I can hear everything now. I normally dont have any headsets which makes everything difficult hearing wise but these feels really nice.

Great headphones would recommend if you’re willing to pay the price, only down side didn’t like the cushion it came with the mod kit made them better bc it was leather but it cost extra. Also if you’re using a ps5 you gotta buy the ps5 adapter to use it with the console.

This is my 2nd set of A50's, I was impressed by the oroginal Quality of my Gen 2 model, but it had major issues with frequency interference. I would avoid Gen 2 if you live in a densely populated area such as an apartment complex, or your experience will be based on who your neighbors are. 'Find my Phone' on iPhone uses the same frequency and is one of many possible problems you could experience causing the sound to cut out frequently. These Gen 4 model A50's have great updates and so far have been working flawlessly for a few months already. I am very pleased and wish I had upgraded much sooner. Using them side by side the Gen 4's are perfect. My Wife is happy using my old Gen 2's which I would rather die than go back to using again. New A50's are great, if you're having any doubts, just do it!!! Make sure its the newest model though.

battery life, sound quality is pretty decent, dolby atmos compatibility which is another plus

Easily the best headset I've ever had! Comfortable, great audio, very versatile for gaming, and you get exactly what you pay for. After having to buy a new headset every year, these definitely outshine any other pair I've owned

These are probably the best headphones I've had so far. I had the first version when I was in high school. Went to a razer headset. Then to an asus headset. These are by far the best ones with quality of sound, comfort, and ease of use.

A50s are still amongst the best units for gaming, but I find myself not limiting the use for just gaming. The sound is great for watching movies or sports. The bass could have a little more power but everything else is spot on! This unit beats out the Sennheiser's and their L50X unit produces pretty spectacular sound too. The one thing that does occasionally irritate (hence the less than 5 stars rating) is that it can be a pain to resync if the unit desyncs itself.
