Best headset I’ve ever used. Sound is just so much louder and clearer on this than any other headset I’ve owned.

Best gaming headset I’ve ever used. Comfortable, easy to set up, and has a great sound system.

Headphones take a bit to get used to but have the best sound quality I’ve ever had on a headset

Great headset. The mix amp on the side of the headset is a great idea and the audio is awesome

Just unreal the sound I get from these. So glad I made the jump to Astros

Best gaming set best value 5 star good quality and great price on

Amazing headphones. Great flexibility. The cans remove magnetically for easy cleaning. All cords needed for great sounds included. Not my first Astro purchase and would definitely recommend this item to every looking!

It works great! It works great! It works great! It works great!

I gave this headset 2 stars for several reason. The speaker drum quality is low, no rumble, can’t get headset loud enough to even need to turn down. The headband is extremely uncomfortable and doesn’t stay together (see zip tie in photo lol). Mic mute broke. I’ve had for almost 2 years and baby all my electronics. Plus: volume controls on earpiece work well, battery life is phenomenal However, comfort, sound, and reliability trump those two great features

It is perfect and easy to use. I recommend it. It has good sound.

Great headset especially for gaming! It’s The Best gaming set I have experienced. It can only be explained by experiencing it yourself.

Its not worth the money. There's a software malfunction everyone seems to be having after a while of using and I'm receiving those errors. The headset goes out when it wants and the base station is now doing the same. Tried troubleshooting like they were doing on YouTube and got some luck with the headphones, but the base station, none at all. This situation currently has me giving up on streaming gameplay. The sound quality is phenomenal but you can get that same quality from Turtle Beach headsets. I've been a Turtle Beach fan for ages; never had any issues. I should have continued that. Regardless of who tells you these headphones are great be sure you collect the cons of the headset as well.

Love this headset it has amazing audio but lacks some features of other wireless headsets

Great product, after buying turtle beach decide to-upgrade for this brand and is awesome, overall is great I 100% recommended

I love to use the headphones for gaming very reliable

I love the style and they work when they work. They aren’t the cheapest headset on the market yet I have to spend 20 minutes everyday troubleshooting for them to connect to my device. They honestly aren’t worth it when they cause me a headache before I can even play my game.

Really good audio and easy set up. It’s also compatible with pc. Love it

I love this headset i got playstation n pc super useful

The Astro A50 is supposed a gamers headset which allows both superb audio and voice chat with the ability to adjust your audio and chat settings via their latest firmware update to their hub. The big question comes down to rather or not this is going to fit the bill for you. Hopefully this review will help to clear up any buying decisions you may be facing. First things first, lets talk about what you can expect to receive right out of the box. Out of the box you will receive the base unit (which serves as the charging dock), headset, micro usb cable and optical cable. Set up is very easy and only takes a matter of minutes. The base station has a optical in and out port and can be switched between PC mode and PS4 mode. On the main headset unit itself you can switch between Dolby audio and standard along with the ability to switch between three equalizer pre sets which can be changed and named via the free PC app. The mic flips up and down to turn the mic on and off which is a pretty nice feature to have. Charging is done one of two ways, you can run the micro usb cable directly to the headset or you can set the headset on the base station for it to charge over night. The base station uses magnets to help line the headset up for charging on the dock and does a very nice job of accomplishing this. The ear cups, mic, side covers and band can all be replaced via Astro's website with customizable gear to help set you apart from everyone else. There are a few key items i look for in gaming headsets. One of the most important being comfort and the second being sound quality and the ability to adjust my settings on the fly. Lets talk comfort for a second here. One of the first things i noticed about this headset was the ear cup design. I have several different gaming headsets i use and one thing they all share in common is a nice big cushion on the ear cups. Some of my better headsets even use a gel design to help keep you cool and prevent sweat build up. The ear cups on the Astro A50 are nothing special whatsoever. In fact over several hours of use i felt them to become uncomfortable as the cushion design seemed to be too thin. One of the first upgrades i would do to this unit is buy an upgrade to the ear cups. Kinda sucks that i would i have to do this on a gaming head set but hey i guess that's how they make money. The head band itself is made of what appears to be plastic or really strong fiberglass. I mention this design because it does take some break in period. When i first wore this headset the band was very uncomfortable and would give me headaches after long use. However after several weeks of continuous use i can safely say that the band has stretched out a bit and is now starting to feel a lot more comfortable. Lets get in to the real meat of this headset and the main reason for purchase which is audio and voice quality along with functionality. The audio quality is very impressive. Using the Dolby surround sound mode you can clearly make out sounds in your game and judge roughly how far away they are and which distance they are coming from. While playing out Fallout 76 or The Division 2 i was able to judge where my enemy was simply by the sound of his gunfire. The Dolby surround sound did such a good job with helping to immerse me in the game that i felt almost as if i had advantage over my enemies. Now keep in mind that in order for this set up to work good your PC or Console must support this feature. Mic quality is good and provides no issues. With this being a wireless unit i never once experienced any drop outs or distortion. Now this unit makes a great addition for people that like to stream. With the free Astro PC app you can adjust several key features to help set your mic and audio up for gaming or streaming. You can adjust game in and mic volume so you can get more of what you want. You have a built in equilizer which you can set up for your gaming preference and then set them to one of your 3 hotbar equalizer presets on the base station. For example my first preset is designed for shooter games which is more bass heavy so that i can feel the bullets and explosions, while my second preset is geared more towards mmo's which allow for more highs and mids so that i am able to take in all the background noise like leaves blowing or birds chirping. The app also provides 4 noise gate presets, streaming, night, home and tournament mode. Since i don't stream too often i like to keep my gate on home mode so that it doesn't flood the voice chat with all kinds of background noises from my wife or kids running around. Now with all that being said and done there is one key feature that i would of love to see and hopefully see in the future and that is the add on of an android app so that i don't have to keep hooking this unit up to my PC to adjust my settings. As a big mmo player i like to have to ability to adjust all my settings via a app on my phone and believe it or not this is the only headset i own that does not allow for that feature. Its kind of sad really cause with as far as technology has come there is a app for everything on android. I mean for crying out loud my MSI motherboard even has an app to adjust settings via my phone. Most people may not care for this but the reason why this stand outs to me so much is because most mmo players spend alot of time grinding away for better gear or loot or whatever. While im grinding away i like to have the ability to stream music to my headset and adjust the audio output between in game music and my personal play list. This head set does not allow the use of this feature and the main reason is cause the base station acts more of a charging station rather than a central hub. Here's the bottom line. This headset is a good set up with awesome audio quality and great mic settings. This is a perfect set up for anyone looking to reduce wire clutter around their battle station while being able to game with fluid audio streaming. The long battery life ensures that you should be able to easily get 15 hours of straight use before needing a charge, least that's the amount of time i got. The design is simplistic but yet still retains a sense of style. Comfort is a little off and does require some break in time so keep that in mind while moving forward. Over all this is a great headset, not one of my favorites but definitely a very good entry level headset for any novice to mid level gamer or streamer out there. If you do pick this unit up i think you will be very happy with how well the Dolby surround sound works and how immerse it helps you get.

Love it. can hear my fortnite so crispy in this headset
