Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is definitely a headset that is worth the premium pricetag. I will share some info that it took me a bit to research before I could comfortably make the purchase. I will start with the fact that it works with both the X Box Series X and the PS5. They both connect via micro usb cable. I have one micro usb connected to each console, then I switch the plug in the back of the headset stand to reflect the console I want to use. You then switch the button on the back of the headset base, xbox for xbox, and pc for ps5 (or for a pc or other console if that's what you have connected). You can also buy a second headset base for about $100, then you can have each console connected at all times, you just dock the headset in the base of the corresponding console that you want to use for a couple of seconds and it will sync up and you're ready to go. The second great feature is that the back of the base also has fiberoptic audio in and out. I have the fiber "in" connected to the fiber "out" on my sound bar. This means that I can use my headphones to listen to anything that is normally feeding audio to my sound bar (would also work with optic out of a tv or any other audio receiver). It's nice to be able to listen to my TV, Roku, Rasp Pi, and cable box with my headset when I don't want to bother others. The audio quality is great, but all I have to compare it to was my old headset which was the Turtle Beach X41 from 2009. I thought that was good until they finally gave out and I bought these. The one complaint that I have is with one button set in particular. There is a giant button on which you can adjust the game sound to chat sound ratio. (Not to be confused with the volume up down button which is separate). It's very difficult to get that hang of setting this. I still don't have it down correctly. However, if you find your preferred ratio and then don't fidget with it, or never fidget with it to begin with, you will be alright. Make sure that you update the firmware on this headset as soon as you get it out of the box. Otherwise, it might not work with the PS5 or maybe even other devices. You just need to plug it in to a pc and download the software for the Astro A50 from the manufacturer website. Do this even if you are not going to use with a PC or PS5. This is also the app that you can use to load equalizer presets to work with the headset preset buttons. Also, the license for dolby on the xbox will be automatically assigned when you download the dolby app on the xbox. This is confusing as there is conflicting information on the documentation. There is no such equivalent for the PS5 as of now. I hope this was useful.

I bought this headset to use with my PC. This headset sounds great, battery life is excellent and earpieces are very comfortable on my ears.

Great sound and comfortable for every day use great battery last

Great headset comfortable adorable. Really I’ve had no issues with it. This is my second pair used to use the turtle beaches but for a truly wireless headset, can’t get any better for your money. There are a lot of different wires his headsets out there for the price you can’t beat it, plus Astro. Let you buy new cups if you need and padding for head.

comfortable. not creaky when you touch them or move. excellent mic. the only bad is when you put your head back against the headrest of your chair, the headphones will lean up against the headrest, and it presses the button to change chat/game volume, turning up the chat, and down the game.... the buttons should be inset to prevent this.

These have amazing battery life and the range is great. Sound is crisp and the mic is clear. You get what you pay for!

LOVE LOVE! Bought for my husband, and he is in love. The comfort is amazing, the sound is great.

Best headset on the market right now for PC xbox and playstation I think. Sounds are crisp and headset is highly tunable. Don't see myself going back to another headset. If you are looking for a competitive gaming head set this is it. Also feel great on head and ear muffs are magnetic and can be changed out. Trust me buy this you will not be disappointed

Sounds amazing! Looks amazing, feels amazing! Buy the mod kit

Been using Astros A50’s for years now and every time they have issues I try another brand or product but keep finding myself taking those back for the Astros A50’s. The price is right with the quality and sound. Of course I would love for the. To be cheaper but not if it changes anything. It’s not broke so you can’t fix it, right? Could use a little weight reduction and some more size and fit features.

Coming from the Turtle Beach 800X, I expected this Headset to be just as good if not better. The one thing that was so great about the 800x Is that it has a feature called superhuman hearing. You literally just click a button and you can hear footsteps and the faintest sounds from all around you when you’re playing games such as call of duty. The Astro a 50 however you have to customize yourself. There are A few generic presets but unfortunately they don’t tend to fit the games that I play. You can go into the settings and make your own custom settings however this can be confusing with little to no direction. Supposedly there are people online that you can download presets and use but honestly I wouldn’t even know how to do that. I feel like Astro should have made it easier for people to customize the sound that people are looking for. Overall this is a decent headset but for $300 I think I would look elsewhere.

Very good quality with long lasting battery life and range

By far the best headset I've ever owned used or tried on !! They are very comfortable. Sound quality is just amazing and the battery life is just excellent

They sound great decently comfortable. The range on these are insane. 40-50 yards before they disconnect. They are just overpriced.

I bought this because I wanted a good headset they are a bit heavy on the head but they do sound pretty amazing compare to all the headsets I’ve ever had I enjoy these the most. One time I thought the headsets were broken but they weren’t they just needed an update I try updating them with the link on the paper that came inside by my computer had windows 10 so I had to download the software application from the Microsoft store if you don’t have a computer or laptop to update these headsets they might not be the best option for you but overall they are great

The head phones were great but I think the only problem for me was the screws would come off at times which would compromise the head phones the sound was amazing but the build quality needs some work I also believe the charging station would get faulty at times so I’d look like it was charging but I’d always have to readjust it to make sure even thoe it’s magnetic last thing is I wish they were Bluetooth and wired at the same time Only because allot of modern day video game titles today require you to communicate with your team mates , sound cues and without the on after a grindy sesh gaming starts to becomes underwhelming and boring without all my senses enjoy the experience

I bought these to replace a gen2 set. Everything seems to be same except the volume seems a little louder. The quality is still there, the performance is still there, and even the fit is there. Comfy and lightweight. I don't play pro but I could imagine these may help someone get an advantage

After some customization of the settings using the app, the headset works great. Never had issues with battery draining too quickly. Use mostly for COD Warzone and even though the sound in the game itself needs to be fixed, the headset allows me to hear exactly where shots and footsteps are coming from. The surround does work excellent. Switched from Steele Series Arctis 7 and this headset is leaps and bounds better out of the box... but becomes the ultimate best you can get once you customize the settings in the app. Overall, I highly recommend this headset and spend the time to customize.

The sound is incredible and they are really comfortable. The battery lasts a good amount of time and being able to just drop the headset onto the stand to charge is great

Most comfortable headphones ever with the best sound for the price. Will be my headset until they don’t work anymore.
