Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love my headset. Been with Astro for years. Is finicky getting it to charge on the dock but once you do it enough, you get that you gotta wiggle it. Input sounds great output sounds better, use the app on pc and tweak the equalizer, also the chat volume/game volume is on the side of the ear piece you just tape it one way or the other to balance chat/game. It’s the flagship for Astro but i can wear these all day and never hurt my ear. These are worth every penny and like anything else yes they have their issues but get the replacement plan and feel that reassurance just incase anything happens and enjoy these comfortable headphones that have amazing quality sound.

My boyfriend uses these everyday and loves them! The sound is so good and they look very cool.

I upgrade from Gen2's into this Gen. Gen2 battery was horrible which resulted in having to essentially have wired headphones. The sound from Gen2 to Gen5 is about equal. Battery life is great! The docking station is amazing plus you have the option to wire charge if you had to, FYI, I haven't had to do that, I get 6 hours EASY out of them with plenty of "juice" to carry me to 10 or more hours. Also, the fact that I had Gen2's from 2010 to 2020 should illustrate how great Astros are. I broke the headband on my Gen2s and Astro repaired for me. In fact, the only reason I bought these was the design flaw of the roller knob which resulted in the inability to modify the volume on the headset. I see the knob is the same here but it feels better made and I got the geek squad plan if need be Independent drivers, exquisite sound quality, 5.1/7.1 surround gives you the edge to hear the pitter patter before it is too late!

Love my new Astro headset! Has excellent volume and sound quality. Mixer works awesome for chat and game adjustment. Love the online eq adjustments and the sound connections are excellent and plentiful. Took only seconds to hook up. Headset is comfortable and easy to wear for hours with no pain or irritation. Headset easily charges in the dock.

If you love the feel of Astro headsets, this will fall right into your wheelhouse. After my A40s in 2016, I wanted to move to something wireless. I tried Steelseries and they felt cheap and I did not like the fit. I went back to Astro and got the A50s. Super easy to set up, great sound, low end is a bit muddy but you can EQ them to help with that. Mic sounds top notch for a headset mic and being able to use them on Xbox or PC has been nice. They have were replaced in my setup by audiophile grade headphones Sennheiser HD6XX and a standalone mic, Samson Q2U as my gaming drivers, but, I keep them because there may be days I want to recline on my chair with a controller and they are perfect for those moments I don't want to be tethered by a cord. Overall, if you're used to Astro, you're going to put these on and be right at home. Worth the investment if you want a top quality wireless headset. My only gripe is the docking of them and ensuring the charging touch points are on correctly, but, after getting used to how to do it, it's a non issue now.

Definitely a cool looking headset with outstanding audio and mic quality. Also an extremely comfortable feel on the head. Pricey, but your head and ears will thank you, especially if you wear them for an extended period of time. Also, worth the investment if you want all the above, plus the freedom to move around wirelessly. Great battery life as well.

Love the A50’s great sound quality, fit very comfortably, will last you. Only thing I dislike is they are still operating on micro usb. Plus if you have a console you have to buy an adapter for additional $40 to connect the hub. That’s ridiculous in my opinion but overall great headphones. I’d recommend the A50X

good sound quality, fit great, great battery life. i just wish it had more bass. best headphones i've tried to date and i've tried more than a few. would have been 5 stars if it would have had more bass.

Works with the new generation consoles. A firmware update is required inorder to use with new consoles as they do not have an optical port. Now ran through USB slot. Very sound detailed, just make sure to fine tune it in the Dolby app (will need to download as well) on console or PC it will be used for. Overall great quality and comfort.

A couple of my friends have recommended the A50's for years. My one friend and I finally gave in and each bought a pair. The sound quality is great, they were extremely comfortable. I say were because within the first two weeks of owning them the cushion that rests on the top of your head pops out. Once I click it back into place it stays in place until I put the headphones back on my head then it pops out again, so now I just don't even use it. On top of that both my friend and I have noticed that there is a ticking/buzzing sound when using the headphones that only gets resolved by resetting your console each time it occurs. I reached out to Astro's customer service, and after spending 4-5 days explaining my problems and providing proof that I actually purchased the headphones the rep said they would send a replacement pair. The rep has since stopped communicating through email and every time I call the customer service number they give me the same runaround story that they will alert the rep and his supervisor that I have reached out without providing a simple confirmation that my replacement has been shipped or provide a tracking number. Honestly probably the worst customer service I have dealt with.

Very good headphones for video games and watching movies. It has a very good sound lock. I have a lot of fun playing with my Play five a wonderful purchase I recommend it 100%

I use mainly for call of duty on ps4.. sound sweet and crisp nobody is walking up on me without me hearing where there coming from.. comfort is good .. battery last forever they go into sleep mode automatically when you set them down and turn back on immediately when picked up .. make sure you have a pc or Mac to update this headset..

Okay let me say that the headset is so comfortable its unreal how good it feels on your head. And the sound quality itself is amazing and the microphone that's built in could be better for 300 bucks but that's besides the point. I've been using them for about three months now and I've had no issues with them so far and it's so cool the way you charge the headset. I went from using the gold wireless stereo headset for years and I can say that this is a huge upgrade for me. But the pricing for the astro a50 is a different story. Unless you got it when it was on sale like I did its definitely worth it but if you're getting it for 300 that's for you to decide honestly because I don't see myself destroying my wallet for a headset unless I'm desperate as hell and don't forget if you have a pc you can change your equalizer and your decibels which is so cool and your headset has to update once you purchased them and the headset doesn't feel cheep at all which I like it to be

Theyre amazing in just about every aspect but ive had reconnecting issues after taking them off and putting then back on. Other than that the sound and fitment are dialed.

Very comfortable and simple to use. They hold their charge for better than eight hours of playing time. The sound is excellent and the noise cancellation makes playing much more enjoyable. Other players in chats claim the microphone is fantastically clear. Would definitely recommend

Good quality headphones. I use them for gaming. They have a pretty good lasting battery, and are pretty comfortable, and have an equalizer to play with your sound settings. One annoying thing about them is that the top headband piece keeps popping out.

I got this without knowing my Gold PS4 had no optical cable! I honestly upgraded to the PS4 Pro because it of that. Could thing it was on sale. Onto the product I’d definitely recommend, really comfortable! Have only had a lag between the sound once since purchasing, hasn’t occurred again, sounds great, connects easily when you want to use it.

One of the best sounding gaming headsets. The price is quite high but so is the quality of what you get. The sound and comfort are top level. I use it for extended gaming sessions with no issues. Good battery life. Tons of customization options. Firmware updates allow for use with Xbox Series X/S.

My buddies always teased me that I would look the wrong way or not hear enemies approach. After I got my Astros, it never happened again. Now, I tell them stuff they don’t even hear. I can hear scared crows in Hunt Showdown from several compounds away. I can track enemies direction from their footsteps. Same thing with game play in Vigor or COD. These things make my old Turtle Beaches seem like they are from the 80’s. There is no comparison. And I haven’t even discussed the audio from a mood or environment perspective. What you hear when wearing these will blow you away! And make sure to get the Charging Dock. No wires! Ever. Properly arrange them on the dock and they charge through contacts. I can game for several hours a day, several days in a row before I need to recharge them. I feel they are definitely worth their price and then some.

Great quality, reliable, comfortable, battery life lasts surprisingly long. I typically use HyperX but these Astro A50s are comparably incredible!
