Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best headphones in the game, literally!! Fast charging, sound is absolutely incredible, they fit snug on your ears, don’t fall off and they are firm, long lasting and excellent quality.

Great headset. Wonderful sound. Heavier than the a40 TR. Not as customizable as the a40 TR. Cost $50 more than the a40 TR.

I probably should have looked at other reviews on this prior to purchase as it seems Astro went a step backwards with the A50s. First off, the purchase was predicated on wanting to have wireless headsets instead of being tethered to the controller. Unlike our A40s, if you pop the top head cushion (without jerryrigging it to hold in place) that top piece will constantly pop out. Also, the microphone is not able to be flipped to be on the right side of your face. Bending the arm to place it near your mouth seems like a mute point as it will not hold your adjustment very well. The Game and Voice Volume control buttons are inverse so you have to know which way the lettering is facing to determine if you are increasing or decreasing the volume (also there are no indicators of +/- for these controls). Charging them requires you to set them perfectly in their bases, kinda annoying, but understandable. All in all, these are kind of a disappointment. With the A40s being able to rotate so you can wear the microphone on either side of your face, customizable ear pieces and head cushion, they are just superior than the A50s in that respect. If they would have just gotten rid of the tether of the A40s, I would have been in heaven.

Good overall. Solid battery life and connection. The main issue is the padding on the headband portion broke off just from daily wear.

This headset is definatly worth the money! I only use astros for gaming and this headset is top of the top! Battery life is great sound quality is incredible and so easy to use with the eq settings! I recommend to any gamer!

Great product and audio, have had it for 2 years and not a single issue. Highly recommend

They don't have the quality of their price, I returned them because they stopped working, after 3 days, they just didn't turn on, they died completely, I returned them and changed them for a turtle beach, I've already had them before, they have better quality and they are cheaper, simply the sound is better and the comfort is better.

Honestly I bought these because so many people that stream online say they're great and very comfortable. To get them to work properly on your PC you need to download the Astro Command Center and make sure that you keep everything up to date. If you don't place them on the charger just right they won't charge, or if you don't keep the program up to date they won't charge. They are comfortable and they do work great once you get them set up properly. As for the PS4 side of things, you need to change some settings in the PS4 before they will work for you, but nothing a quick google search won't help with.

First of all just wow! This headset is super comfortable and sounds amazing. Pretty easy to set up too, plug the usb cable into you Xbox, plug the optical cable into the Xbox to the headset stand and set it from pc to Xbox. Also I called Astro customer support and this will work with the series X when it comes out.

Headset works great, still been going strong after all the years

I am a hardcore xbox gamer, so I wear this thing for 8 hours a day some times and I hardly know it is there, the sound is awesome, and it works so well with my computer I have both my Xbox sound and PC sound into it at the same time. Perfect for any setup.

Most wireless headsets either feel like they are crushing my head or are too loose to stay on while doing simple movements, the ear pieces are large and comfortable, they fit well and I can go through most of my house from the office and not lose reception, and with average usage i only need to charge them every 4-5 days.

Love these headphones better then my very expensive sound system. I am constantly wearing these for watching movies and gaming! The sound makes you feel your in the game and watching movies it makes you feel like your at a IMAX theater! Great battery life too since I'm constantly using it I get a good 15 hours!

Excellent sound, the connection is very fast and the battery lasts a lot in my games perfect material quality

Great gaming Headphones. Super comfy and great sound quality and the manual controls on it are really nice. Worth the money!

Good headset with good settings,sounds, and mic Battery life is really good

I own two pairs. One for my wife for our xbox x. One for my pc. These are awesome. Sound quality. Mic quality is really great. All the astro features that it has are perfect. Only real complaint i have. Two really but one isnt bad. The pre set EQ settings all stink. To get the most outta these you need to adjust them for sure. And after about a year or so when the volume on the headsets up all the way you can hear static. But again. It can be turned down a little. It goes away and they are still way way loud

This review comes from a current employee at Best Buy. Let's start with the good. This headset sounds great. Great audio quality all around. Used it for listening to music and general gaming and it's awesome. For games, you get some pretty nice directional sound thanks to Dolby. This headset is also pretty comfortable. The fabric feels pretty nice, and the ear cups sit comfortably for long sessions. The microphone is adequate. It's nothing to write home about, but still better than the mics you find in $50 headsets. Now for the bad, and this ruined my overall experience. The constant connection issues I've had while using this on PC (which it does have a PC mode with a functioning Astro Command Center) have been very frustrating. The amount of times I would turn on my PC and put my headset on only for them to simply not work. I would need to sift through my settings and disable and re-enable them in order to work properly. This happens at least once every 2 weeks. Now recently, I've also had issues with them charging. They no longer charge via any method (base station or usb). I have found at least 7 different troubleshooting methods, and none have solved my problems. Even the hard reset method did not work. For a headset I've had for only a year, this already does not bode well for durability. Considering these issues are widespread acrossed the community of owners, I cannot recommend this product for any sale they put it on, unless it goes below $150, which won't happen.

The headphones feel good, I feel like you have nothing on for me. The sound is great I love the 360 experience. I only use the mic once but it was good. Only one bad thing I had to connected to my laptop and do a download / update for it. But I still love it.

The sound is good and not advertised that you could also hook it to the tv optical to provide wireless listening from your tv. Downside is the base has to be rebooted constantly.
