Customer Ratings & Reviews

The app is terrible for these things. Using the windows store took forever to get these updated. Both the base and header themselves require updating so keep that in mind. Sound quality is mid at best especially for such an expensive set, but still these sound better than most. Maybe something I can tweek in the app but still would’ve enjoyed something more usable right out of the box. Good if you’re looking for a decent wireless set but IMO wired in quality is always going to be better.

all my gaming buddies owned Astro A50's so i decided to try them out. they were great headphone and very convenient since they are wireless, but i use my headphone for more than just gaming on my PC and i didn't perform to my liking on other things, so went back to a more expensive wired headset that i owned before

So I had purchased this new headset and the first ones 4th charging light indicator wouldn’t light up. I exchanged it and now the second ones base station had frozen and I unplug it and plug it in only for it to not turn on again. I’m going to return it until they get these issues figured out. Otherwise while I was able to use it it had the best sound I’ve heard in a hdmi f headset. Base station is more portable and easier to place the headset in than previous models. It also cut out less on the new frequency they are using. And Dolby Atmos rocks. Shame that such an expensive headset has quality control issues at release a few months later.

Extremely well made, survived a attack from a puppy

Had this headset for about 4 years now. And it still holds up very well to competitors. I will say the comfort is unmatched, while the the sound quality is good and not bad for competitive multiplayer games.

The latest generation of these is great, base station is much smaller, and having them constantly charging when not wearing basically ends up meaning there's never a battery issue. Sound is great, mic is good (could be a little better but still clear and loud enough). Overall a bit pricey but there's not many other options that offer this feature set and none at a lower price.

Probably the only “gaming” headphones that could compete with these in the price range are the Steelseries Nova’s. I would recommend against relying on these for quality audio. The audio does come through decently well and doesn’t fatigue me for longer sessions. It also has enough kick in the bass frequency (could massage my ears). Responded well across the volume range and still impactful at lower volumes. It can also go very loud if need be unlike some other wireless headphones. It uses its own volume gain that’s independent of MS Windows volume controls. Latency was great for real-time gaming. Thermals were decent (probably one of the best for gaming category) but far from open-back headphone quality. I would definitely recommend aftermarket earcups if you run hot. I do dislike that I couldn’t remove the oversized microphone boomstick that was causing my the center of mass to skew towards the left side of my head. The audio output was limited to 16-bit, 44kHz audio (Windows would not let me set higher) and so will miss a lot of detail from higher grade audio sources. Ultimately, I returned these as I found myself neglecting them too often for my wired Sennheiser + DAC/Amp system or my desk speakers. The AS50 just missed out on too much detail and enjoyment that my mid-tier audiophile was pushing. I think they do have a chance at prevailing if they only update their electronics to support at least 24-bit, 48kHz as their drivers and gain control sounded pretty decent.

I wish i could give partial stars for this product. It is AMAZING in almost every aspect the sound quality is amazing and the mic is amazing but the software is in my opinion hot garbage and very annoying to work with. Every time i mute the mic i have to go back in and reset to the settings i want so i dont hear myself when i talk. If theybqould update the software id buy this headset every time for ever

Last gen kept cutting out because of the 5Hz WiFi connection and I’m so glad that they fixed it with these! The software is easy to use and I like that they allow 2 platforms with 1 headset. The base also can also pass sound to speakers or even a sound bar for when you’re watching movies! Base is small and hardly takes any room up. Headset sometimes goes 2-3 days before needing to charge.

The comfort on this thing is amazing! Then to top it off, the sound quality on it is amazing as well. Now for $300, it definitely feels like a $300 headset, just upgraded from the A20 and these are definitely the better pair. If you're an avid gamer, or even just someone who works on zoom sessions and what not these will definitely be the pair to buy for work or play.

The headset is very comfortable on the head, with amazing sound quality. This is my second pair of these specific headphones and would never go another route. Great product and great quality! 10/10 recommend for gaming/ office use needs

I've tried these headphones on my Mac, PC, and TV, and it works great on all of them. The microphone quality is the best I have seen in any wireless headset. And because it is 2.4GHz wireless, the audio quality is amazing. In Dolby mode it sounds and feels like I'm in a theater. Super comfortable and lots of cool features that left me thoroughly impressed!

love the sound, easy to connect. comfortable. have not had any issues

First impression, coming from a previous A50 gen 3 and A50 gen 1 ( still have), the A50 gen 4s are not really that impressive. They are the same feel and sound as the gen 3 and the gen 1, only difference is a better base station so you headset doesn’t stop charging. That the reason I went to TB Elite Pro 2’s previously. I even have the mod kit for the gen 3’s which did help inclose the sound and I tried to put them on the gen 4, they were soo close, like almost exact and Astro could have made them work wanted the extra money like $300 isn’t enough. now I have a completely useless mod kit that I have to re-buy for the gen 4 and spend more money. Comparing the Astro A50 gen 4 to the TB Elite Pro 2s, honestly I think the sound is crisper and cleaner on the Elite Pro 2s. Bass is a little less then the Astro’s but not too noticeable and the sound enclosure is better. Controls for volume and voice/game balance is better on the Astros along with the mute, flip up versus cord button. Also, if I want to change the sound mix on the A50’s, I have to hook them up to the computer to use the Astro Command Center where with the Elite Pro 2s I can do it straight from the Bluetooth connection with app on my phone. Which the Bluetooth is kinda nice if I want to take a call or listen to my own music while gaming. The cordless A50s versus the corded Elite Pro 2s is nice but I have to worry about charging but with a desktop setup, the one cord isn’t bad. Yes, the Elite Pro 2 is a little heavier and a little less comfortable but over its only slightly noticeable and not that big of a deal. Overall, I’ve been an Astro fan for a long time, since the gen 1s and not to big fan a Turtle Beach but after going to game after my Astro A50 gen 3s sat in the base station all night and the headphones were dead and then to the point that they wouldn’t charge at all, I decided to switch to the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2s and not have to worry about charging. With the new Astro A50 gen 4s coming out with a new base station, V2 sound tuning and Dolby Atmos, I was really excited to get back to Astro but after a 3 hour gaming session on Apex Legends, I was really disappointed. The ear cups are stiff, the sound a little muffled/unclear (and I switched between the three equalizer settings and yes I connected them to the computer and updated the software for both the headset and base station) the sound just wasn’t very immersive even with the Dolby Atmos that I previously paid for. For less money, cleaner sound, no worries on charging, Bluetooth connectivity, better sound isolation, easier equalizer adjustment and custom made presets...I hate to say it but the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2s are a better bang for your buck. I mean for $300, I expected more from the new A50s and that just tells me how good the Elite Pro 2s actually are. I’m going to give it a little more time but Astro may have lost a customer. Yes, there are many improvement that could be made to the TB Elite Pro 2s and even though some could have been made with the Astro gen 4s, I feel like they are the same regurgitation of the previous Astro A50 generations.

Headset works great but the program it comes with doesn’t seems to want to pair with the headset. Other than that sound quality and comfortability are great.

A little pricey but worth it, These headphones replace my old A50 Astros and are really nice, they are exactly what you expect from Astro. No more wires to plug in, just set them down on the base and they charge right back up. I have not put a clock on them to see how long a charge but they are more than sufficient for me.

This is my third pair of Astro headsets. My first wireless and it doesn’t disappoint. The equalizer download from Astro allows you to enhance your in game audio giving you an advantage over other players. The headphones are more on the expensive side but well worth it. The headphone base has connections for live streaming. Just a great product all around.

This headset has crisp and high definition audio, very comfortable and easy to adjust. The synch function can give me lots of issues at times where you turn on your console and the headset won’t have any voice chat or game audio because it didn’t synch to the console. You have to reset them and try switching between PC mode and the Xbox to get it to connect. Also to get them on the charger can be very complicated as well, you have to stand them up on the base station and it can take minutes to get them to start charging. You should be able to plug them in, while in use.

The headset works very well... on PS4 and PC. On PS5? No. You need an adapter for it that takes place of the hdmi port and basically takes away hdmi 2.1 as the adapter is hdmi 2.0. So if you just dropped $3,000 on a new OLED tv, don’t buy this headset. Now if you just have a PS4 or PC, then buy it! It’s so amazing! I reviewed the Xbox version and it’s the best headset I’ve ever used! I tried steel series, turtle beach, other astros like the A40’s, etc and this is the king of headsets. I’d recommend the mod kit as well if you have a wife and kids you want to tune out.

Durable. Comfortable and audio sounds great . Also love the battery life
