Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really good sound quality and the bluetooth works well. Also comes with a Dolby Atmos subscription so you can have even more sound customization. One drawback is the headband, the foam pad in the middle doesn't hold together so I had to tape it order to keep them from falling off my head.

I dont like the price tag, but this version of the headset is much better than the last. The ear cups are way softer the sound is better and the controls are easier to use plus the docking station is an added bonus

The comfort and sound is excellent. I used to own turtle beach which were really good too, but the astros are on a different level.

The only issue I have with this headset is at times will have to be disconnected from the power source because it won’t connect to the Xbox. It’s comfortable and a bit pricey but worth it.

Plugged it in to the Xbox and worked without any issues. However, I tried updating the firmware using my Mac and it was nothing but painful. The update failed every time! I wasn’t even able to change any sound settings on the Astro command center (ACC). Every time I plugged in by headset to my Mac and opened the ACC it stated “required firmware update”, it started the update but failed. Apparently this has been an ongoing issue. I’m not sure how this affects my headset but it seems to be working just fine on my XoneX. Sounds amazing! I’m upgrading from aTurtle Beach elite 800x and this A50 sounds far superior! I hope Astrogaming will get their sh** together and fix this problem! This issue hasn’t been resolved since Dec 2019!

Astro is the way to go! Tried a few different headsets and finally went with Astro A50s. I love the sound quality, the comfort, and most importantly, the ability to hear stuff on pc while playing on Xbox.

Great sound quality with spacial awareness, comfortable and setup is easy

I use these on PC and when coupled with the software, I can hear directional footsteps in games with ease. I had the Gen3 A50's and had to upgrade to the Gen4's, worth it!! They are pricey, but worth every penny in my opinion. Here are my settings people can use as a basis to tune to their liking: + Windows 10 - Connections = USB only - Installed and activated Dolby Access app (2 year license in box) - Spatial Sound = Dolby Atmos for Headphones + Dolby Access app for Windows 10 - Selected option = Game - Game settings = Performance Mode set to On + Astro Command Center -EQ Setting = Astro preset (or A50 Mod Kit if you have it) + CoD:MW 2019 - Profile = Home Theater - Master = 100 - Music = 0 - Dialogue = 50 - Effects = 100

Love the sound and feel of these headphones. Although, the headband around the top always pops out, and twists. No matter what I do nothing fixes it(besides zip ties). If it wasn’t for this, it’d be 5 stars all day long

Great audio, cool preset settings, quick charge time, long battery life. Best headset I’ve purchased.

This is my third pair. Great audio, really decent software however the problems I have had is they simply fall apart from use the top part came off with one the current ones I’m using the screws are coming out and lastly the first time I bought them it bricked while installing the firmware.

Great sound quality and noise canceling.I can hear players foot steps and pinpoint there location.

I wanted to love this headset and let’s just say I only like it. The build quality of this is amazing and I love the charging stand. However, the headset squeezed my head for the first 12 hours I used it until it formed to my head and while it’s better, it still feels tight. My biggest complaint is when this is plugged in to my Xbox, I have to unplug and re-plug in the usb cable to my Xbox every time you turn my Xbox on to get it to register with my Xbox. This is an issue I’ve noticed with both the A50’s and A40’s. Astro said they were working on an update but this has been an issue for awhile now. One minor complaint is that only Astro sells the mod kit for this version of the A50 right now and they’re always out of stock. I had to buy the mod kit off Mercari. However, the mod kit is amazing. Overall I like this headset a lot and the aesthetics it has. If you have a big head like me though, the A40 might be more suitable. I have no issues with tightness on that headset.

Comfortable good sound what more do you want? Dolby code comes with it and makes a big difference to adjust the eq in the app. Just wished this worked for ps without buying a new base for $99

I have these for the Xbox. First these are really great headphones. Better built than previous A50’s and great sound with full wireless. These are the best fully wireless for Xbox ( I believe the Steelseries Arctic Pro is the best but on Xbox you need a wire for chat). So why 3 stars, the firmware available now messes it up. Now as mentioned In other reviews you can plug it straight in and skip the firmware for now but if you are like me one of the best things about Astro’s is being able to adjust the presets. Personally after owning the gen 3 for several years I think the out of box presets are terrible. So the biggest problem is first this is a $300 headset and worth the money but if the firmware messes up your product you should be working night and day to fix it. However after reaching out to them via discord and other routes I have yet to receive a response. I was hoping after Logitech bought them they would improve in CS like they did with build quality but so far no.

Simple amazing headphones. Sound is superb. Microphone works well. Most comfortable headphones i have ever owned.

The headset base feature is cool. The range is not the best. When you walk out of the room it loses connection. The sound and the features are really decent for the Xbox headset though. The charging dock is a big sell for me as I have a place I can sit the headset when not using it.

I would say these are one of the most comfortable sets of headphones I have ever purchased. The sound quality is what I expected for the price and very pleased with the purchase.

I have to admit they sound great but not so right out of the box. You’ll have to update them with their program and there you can mess with settings. I still can’t get atmos to work right with my Xbox But they sound great without it. I have a big head and after long gaming sessions they tend to hurt my ears. They are by far the best sounding headphones I’ve owned but I’m not sure they are worth the price tag.

This is my new favorite headset I have used everything from plain headphones to several turtle beach's and every one of them would hurt after 2 hours or so of playing but these are comfortable and sound amazing!
