Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great headset, but the Series X doesn't have an Optical port so they have to connect through USB to the base station. Because of that there is some minor static feedback avery now and then when Atmos is on. Every time you turn on the xbox you have to unplu and re plug in the base station to re assign the headset. I was told by Astro customer care that yhey are aware of the issue, but no estimate on when it will be fixed. Sucks that I get a top teir headset and a Series X, but they don't mix well together. Can't say id recommend picking up these at nearly $300.00 with the major Series X issues that they have. They work, but re pairing them by messing with the base station plus the interference makes my Turtle Beach Elite Pro Wired headset look great right now. Hopefully Astro gets it together with a new firmware update, or maybe a different base station design.

I am a new twitch streamer on xbox and have used the Arctis Steel Series 9x for about a year while playing. Having to play for long periods of time I was looking for a more comfortable option and decided to try a Astro A50 headset. I had heard great things about the A50s from the streamers I watch. The comfort was as advertised, very comfortable and the base station was sleek looking. The issues I had were with performance. When I tried to use them they were very quiet, even with the balance turned all the way to game. After some research I hooked them up to my PC and had to download an app from the Astro website to adjust the game and voice balance through that. Once it was almost all the way towards game the volume was loud enough (I like it pretty loud). This was in comparison to the Steel Series pair, which I paired to my xbox and then just adjusted the volume on the headset to what I liked. At that point I was disappointed but I still wanted to give them a chance. So I used them during a stream. The directional cues of footsteps were difficult to track, even with the Dolby Atmos subscription it came with set up. I figured, footsteps are very inconsistent, and this could have been a server related issue. So I continued for about an hour into my stream before I started getting comments about my voice sounding funny. After listening to a replay my voice I agreed that my voice was noticeably distorted, and switched back to my Steel Series. I returned the A50 the next day. All in all, if you're ok with the hassle of setting them up and don't mind your voice sounding distorted they are a viable headset option. My struggles with directional cues were over a one hour period and only tested in one game, that being said, I was disappointed with my experience with that as well. For me, the headset was far from justifying it's 300 dollar price tag, especially when my Steel Series are 100 dollars cheaper, perform a lot better, and are very easy to set up on both PC and console. Pros: Sleek looking Very comfortable Felt like it was high quality Cons: Performance was worse than a cheaper headset If it had cost $100 to $150, I may have kept them. I brought a backup pair of the Arctis headset instead.

I’ve had this for a few months and the audio quality is fantastic. The microphone isnt too sensitive either. Cost in my opinion is too high and when wearing the headset for longer period of time it can get uncomfortable.

Upraded from the previous model and these are MUCH improved. Easier to dock, better range and all around better sounding.

Super confertable and great quality recommend it 100%

These headsets are amazing! Super comfortable! I got them to use with my PS5 and my LG C1. Originally I also bought the HDMI adapter but I noticed that I was able to hook from the optical out Jack to the optical in back on the base station. Once I did that, I connected my base station to my soundbar by using the optical out Jack on my base station. Works perfectly!

This headset is the peak of gaming performance headsets. I’ve used many headset from a40 astro to Rog Strix, turtle beach, logitec and many more. The dashboard and customization is amazing and sound quality is great. The sound separation between game and voice channels like ts and Discord is great as well. Clear crisp identifiable sounds. Alot of other headsets do similar but this so far has been the best quality imo.. gl shopping

These headphones are not worth it, I'm having constant problems with these headphones from software to update the headphones and the top part if the headphones keeps detaching it self. And if your luck is terrible, there's a glitch that goes on with these where the headphones won't charge up anymore and even a hard reset won't fix it and apparently nobody found a way to fix it yet (2023) . The only good part about these headphones is that there wireless. I would highly recommend going to the A40s instead, they offer more as well and cheeper

Love these headphones. Good battery. Good sound quality.

Quality of sound is perfect. Very comfortable to wear it isn‘t irritating to wear for long ours.

Great sound quality. Very loud and clear sound. Hold charge great.

They are comfortable and the audio en games are amazing

These are fantastic. Great sound and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend. Great for the price as well

It is a good headset and sounds great but it is super overpriced for what it is worth. I found it at a Best Buy and I thought it would only be 100 because I saw the tag as a 100 and when I ran it up it came up to 325. Migbt as well get something cheaper with the same quality.

Really good quality, great sound, and long battery life.

This head set is very comfertable i do not trip no the wires and is easy to use it charges fast and you can hear very selló

Got mine last week, will be returning my unit this weekend. Constantly having problem on pairing and charging the headset, I needed to constantly hard reset the headset. Every time I use it and put it back to the dock, it keeps on doing the blinking white lights, not pairing and charging. I guess this is a very common problem, I found out when I started researching on how to charge my new headset, bunch of people experiencing the same problem. Would give 3 stars, for the audio quality and comfort. But only 2 stars, if I’m paying $300+ tax included for a premium gaming headset, I expect to experience no problem fresh out of the box.

Sound is amazing, it has a quick charging and there are very comfortable

There's no doubt that these are expensive, but they have to be one of the best headsets I've ever owned (I use mine on PC btw).

These headphones are very useful for gaming and video conferencing. The ear pads are much better with the fabrick rather than the psudo leather. The psudo leather always gets torn up because of my very course beard. This headset is very comfortable especially for long gaming sessions.
