Customer Ratings & Reviews

I researched headsets and chose this one for the comfort. And it is very comfortable. I wear them for hours with minimal fatigue. Note that the rechargeable battery is not replaceable, and it will eventually wear out. This is a big minus, but for me the comfort makes it worth it. Sound quality and functionality are great for my needs (primarily voice chat, but music sounds decent enough). The recharging station is nice and convenient.

This headset is pretty good. The sound quality is good and you can game for hours on it without hurting your ears or giving you a headache. The only con I have for this headset is that the top part of the headset where it rests on top of your head. Always seems to break off and won't stay on. No matter how many times you try to click it together. I dont know maybe my head is just to big or something.

Best sounding headset I’ve ever used! Very comfortable and the battery lasts a long time. You can customize the sound EQ with the Astro Command Center to get exactly what you want. Mic is decent and clear from what everyone tells me. Price is a bit high. Overall, best headset ever.

Amazing headset. It’s a little heavy, but I like that. Seems very sturdy and not weak and flimsy. The quality is great. Some do prefer a wired headset that plugs into the controller. But I love the wireless. It is a little expensive, but I highly recommend this if you can afford it.

The ease of use is nice. I do love that it has a base and connects that way. I wish there was Bluetooth, I think it would put it far ahead of other headsets. I also wish there was a wheel in stead of pushing the ear cup for chat mixer. I wish there was Live listening when adjusting eq settings for Xbox. It works for pc but not for Xbox. The ability to change out the ear cups and head cushion is also nice. It’s a decent headset. Probably tied for best with sound. Just wish it had more features for the price.

Quality audio on a light headset that feels comfortable after hours of play. I’ve had various models of A50s for years now and I’ve found them to be better than Steel Series. The highest end models sound roughly the same however the Steel Series is heavier and gets excessively warm.

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

The Astro A50 Gen4 PS4 wireless headset has addressed my issues/complaints from the same model Gen3. They decided to go with a 2.4 wireless frequency this time, which does not have the frequent audio interference and dropouts that the Gen3 had. Audio is outstanding and the balance of game and voice chat is simple to control. They also addressed some base station design issues. The headset is easy to place in the charger to deliver a flawless charge every time (Gen3 were hard to seat in the base and often would not make a good charge connection). The headset is easily the most comfortable on the market, however my ears can get a bit warm and sweaty after wearing them for a while. I don't remember this being the case with my Gen3. The other minor complaint I have is that they can be a bit slippery to put on and take off. The plastic is very smooth and could have used a little texture. The headset has a quality build, but I think the Gen3 model was a bit more premium. It's an expensive headset for sure... but if you game a lot then do your ears a favor and try this headset.

I Love My Astro A50 Best Purchase I Made For My Xbox Series X, The Sound Is GREAT I Can Hear Footsteps Clearly When I’m Playing Call Of Duty Which Is A Big Deal For Me Because I Can Pin Point Exactly In What Direction Enemy Team Is Coming From, Highly Recommend These If You Have Them Already!!!

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.

Love the headset. Price is a little steep so whait for a sale. Really comfortable to wear and long battery life which displays on the base so you always know how much battery life you have left. Easy setup and great sound of course

Have been using this headset for about 7 months now on PS5. Overall i would say the quality of this headset is pretty good. The audio quality is fantastic and adjusting the overall audio as well as between chat and game is very easy. I havent ever been fidiling with the volume for more than a few seconds to get the perfect sound. The actual quality of the audio is very good as well, it is by far the best sounding headset i have used (I have used the Steel Series arctis 7, Sony Golds, and four seperate Turtle Beach Stealths over the years). The headset is a bit bulky and much heavier than some of my previous headsets, but i havent ever had a problem with it, but i could see people with smaller heads having some issues with this. As for my cons which bring it down a star; It is a pain to charge this headset and play at the same time as the charging port is very loose and any minor head turn would unplug it, so you can only charge it when it is not in use. The charging station can also be quite a pain as it wont always lock into the correct spot, so sometimes i end up fidiling with it for far longer than i should. Also, i dont know if i need to mess with some settings on PSN or not, but the headset does not charge when the PS is in restmode, only when the console is fully on which is kinda annoying. Lastly, the build quality feels kinda cheap, especially for the price and the weight. Because of the weight i would be afriad to drop it from any distance as there is so much plastic in this headset. Overall, the headset provides quality and convenient audio in a very comfortable way. I do feel the positives here outweigh the negatives, but with that being said i would definitely look around and make sure this is the perfect headset for you, because there probably are higher quality headsets out there for cheaper.

I went through a few different brands (Sennheiser, SteelSeries, etc.) at the same price point to replace my older A50s from 2014 and ended up back with Astro. The sound quality of the other brands were thin and tinny which I found really surprising given the costs. These have awesome balance and are very comfortable for long hours. Down side for me is the microphone picks up on the sound of my gameplay even after adjusting the gate levels to the point my voice isn't loud enough to be picked up on. But it you're like the many others who use an open mic who don't give a hoot about background noise being picked up it'll be more than adequate.

The sound quality and comfort are excellent. They have a good battery life and the charging cradle makes charging convenient. Little pricey though.

I have three of these. I bought one for my dad, one for my kid and one for me. The one I bought originally, which is the one for my dad, was the previous model. The range is excellent. I can move around the house and only start having issues when I'm at the far end of the house and downstairs. The dials and switches, once you get use to the location are easy to access, if needed. The mic is flexible and works great. When you flip up the mic past a certain point, it mutes the mic, regardless of which app you use. I really like that feature. The free software, which you download from there site, allows you to "tune" the audio. It also has three presets, which you can cycle through, using the button on the headset. The sound quality is really good, but not great. It's a bit muddy, even with the lower frequencies dialed down on the EQ, in the software. I use it mainly for games, online meetings and VR. I use a different headset for music and watching movies.

Overall the quality of the astros is over the top. Found them comfortable and easy to adjust. The battery does last longer compared to to the previous Gen. The Mic on the other hand is booty. You’re going to have to play with the mic settings to make yourself sound better. They make your voice sound muffled but it is fixable. The base station is also smaller which is a plus.

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.

Amazing sound quality is unmatched even when FPS gaming and 3D sound is important. The build quality is tough and the adjustment bars allow the earpieces freely flow. A good move as they will never break by force. Battery life is good enough to where I can leave it off the charger for multiple gaming sessions before needing to be docked. The downside. The docking requires the headset to charge in one direction because of the microphone piece. The metal docking connections a small and sometimes hard to make a connection if you have a larger head due to there not being enough weight towards the bottom of the headset. You can plug the headset into the docking station to charge via usb which solves this problem and is a big win when your gaming and your wireless headset dies. I leave this at 5 stars because

Best headsets in the game. Battery has a good life. Sound is magnificent and the range is amazing I don’t have to worry about any cable getting in my way when using the computer. I’d recommend this to anyone that is tired of not being remote while using the computer.

Just like Cap in End Game (SPOILERS?), the updated A50 headset is worth of the cost. My puppy recently decided to try out my old A40 TR headset and forced my hand (corgis aren't as innocent as they seem!). So begrudingly I spent the $300 after reading plenty of reviews on the revised A50 headset and I can honestly say I'm glad I did. For one, upgrading to a wireless headset is so convenient. Example: last night I had Spiderverse playing on my second monitor while I worked on the other and I was able to walk into the kitchen for a drink without having to pause the movie. On top of that, having a headset mount without cables is such a space saver which leads to a cleaner, sleeker desktop space. As for gaming, the sound is crystal clear, the mic works exactly as advertised and it fits comfortably for long periods of time. If this isn't in your budget, no shame there. However, if you can afford this headset, you won't regret it.
