Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are much better than the last set I had. Love the wireless setup and the fit. Batteries last and last. Much more comfortable than my hyperx were and a much better soundstage.

Great headset but there is a constant ringing in the left ear. It's somewhat minimal but If you have sensitive ears, it will drive you crazy. Apparently some units don't have this defect, but the batch I got my pair from definitely did. I had Astro's on my ps4, and I really like the headset because it's comfort and dynamic controls but I had to deviate from the A50's because of the ringing.. It's a shame really. Headphones that are $250 should be top tier but these fall short.

Great sound great design comfortable long range too long battery life. Just got done playing 12 hours and probably had a few hours left on the battery

The most comfortable headset I've ever worn. I have a large head so they are essentially maxed out on customization and the pad underneath the headband is a lifesaver. But my god are the pads around the ears comfortable. Audio quality is great (for a wireless set) with some tweaking which is easily done and customizable in the windows app. Mic is convenient, clear, and not too close to my mouth. Dolby surround settings are garbage and not to be used. Yes the directional hearing is improved but the audio quality is abysmal and not worth it (plus the directional sound on these are the best I've ever experienced anyways) Battery life is great, I've never had to stop playing due to dead battery but getting them to line up to charge in the station can be kind of annoying, especially with the headset maxed out in size. Works great with both PS4 and PC, only gripe is needing to switch the USB plugging into whichever system I'm on. Note: DO NOT try to update this headset with Astro software from the Windows Store - that app is out of date and DOESNT WORK. Instead, download the software directly from Astro's website and you shouldn't have an issue.

Battery last long all things considered, comfortable, sounds goods, only makes sense if you can get them when they are on sale

These headphones sound amazing and have 10/10 comfort to pair with it. They are admittedly a little bulky looking and there are lighter headphones on the market, but the ear cups are the right shape and I don’t get aches on the top of my head or around my ears when I wear them for extended periods of time. I would consider these my favorite that I’ve owned or tried. I currently own my second pair of A50s (upgraded to a newer generation) and i will always come back to these.

This headset is expensive, but it is by far the most comfortable headset I've ever owned. I play for up to 8 hours at a time and never experience fatigue from wearing them. I have never run out of battery life while playing. The sound quality is superb. I only play Call of Duty and you can hear the direction of the other player's footsteps easily. Creates a big advantage in the game. I know they're expensive, but if you have the money to get them, get them.

Its alot of money to spend just for the top headband to constantly pop off. I literally have it tied down with a hair tie. Also, the headset struggles to connect to the baseplate when you turn it on. Sometimes it works, other times you gotta unplug the base deck from the Xbox. Recently ive had to reset the headset to even turn it on. Thats alot of basic issues for a $300 headset. Other than that, actual performance with respect to audio / microphone etc. Phenomenal. But come on...

I've had these bad boys for a little over 10 months now, and I have yet to find fault in their design and execution. I've owned a pair of the original 2012 models as well as the 2014 model that followed it, and imo the 4th gen here, designed specifically for both the Xbox One and Series generations? It has truly surpassed every competitor in the wireless gaming headset arena and has blown me away with its level of fidelity, comfort, and reliability. I game fairly frequently, at least 6-8 hours during a busy work week, and I may have to charge once every 2-3 weeks? Not to mention the fact that im notoriously horrible at remembering to shut them off when I'm not using them. Thank God for the fact that theyll power themselves off if they detect thar they haven't been worn for I wanna say 10 minutes? I've never experienced any issues with latency, interference, or voice pick-up at any point in time. I'm literally able to step away from my console and the A50s base-station and run to the restroom on the other end of the house, approximately 120ft away from the base, or go out to the mailbox to chrck for mail, about 60 ft away, and not lose connection. Even with multiple, multiple interior walls between the bathroom and base, as well as a brick exterior wall and 3 interior walls between the base and the mailbox. Needless to say, Astro has truly outdone themselves and have set the bar insanely high for other top teir gaming headsets. I personally have yet to find another headset that comes even remotely close to any of their latest models. So I'm truly eager to see what they release next! Oh btw, we both know you'll get over the price at some point so why bother stressing over it?

Best gaming headsets in the market. Even though they’re pricey, the product will last years if taken good care of. I’ve had some old gems for 5 years, upgraded to new ones because the volume button eventually got worn out after frequent usage and it was time for new ones. Game and chat Audio sound great, perfect for shooter games and can easily detach footsteps. A new feature that stood out was the wireless stand. I leave my PS4 on rest mode and the headset charges through the night. Don’t think twice, get them! Lasts hours!! Where we dropping boys??

Would rate them 5 stars if there wasn’t a high pitch ringing in the left ear but they are still worth it to me. Other than that they are the best headset. The sound is amazing. They fit my small head. And don’t give me a headache even with my glasses.

I've had several wired headsets over the years and finally decided to get my first wireless set. I looked into a bunch of different brands and this is the one I landed on. The sound quality is awesome for gaming and just listening to music. The battery life is very impressive as well. I've used it for 6 hours straight and still had plenty of life left once I was done. Comfort wise, I can't even tell I'm wearing them. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a good wireless headset.

The new Astro A50 Gen 4 headset is remarkably better than the last. I've been an A40/A40TR user for the last decade and I bought both the A50 Gen 1 and Gen 2 at some point and hated both. But this... this is finally what the A50 should be. In terms of audio in and out, I'd say they've finally caught up to the A40TR in terms of quality it is fantastic. I use mine for my PC and the user friendliness is high, build is top notch as well as comfort, reliability, and durability. A few side notes: Since I'm on PC, I highly considered the SS Arctis Pro due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews it had. I've always been an Astro guy and have used my headset for travel and tournament purposes and I am definitely not disappointed. The base/dock charges the headset as well and is probably the one thing I like most about the A50 that the Arctis does not have one. One thing that the Arctis users will boast about is the removable, interchangeable battery compared to the A50's unremovable, unserviceable Li-ion battery which will likely wear down over time. The reason I don't care is, sure, having a swappable battery is cool, but I did the same thing years ago with the Tritton Warhead and it is certainly not convenient, especially if you're 'busy'. The A50's internal battery is somewhere in the good-great range but not excellent. If you play for 8+ hours and forget to charge it, next time you go to use it you'll likely get a low battery alert at some point. Conveniently however, you can plug it in to a USB port on your PC or Xbox via micro USB and it will power and charge it while in use. If you're on Xbox... I don't believe they even make the Arctis Pro for it and this is hands down your best option for a wireless headset Overall, this is my personal favorite pro gaming headset. My only complaint is I wish the color for the Xbox/PC model was not bronze as the PS/PC model is silver.

Had them s month so far. This is the Fourth headset(all different brands or models) I have purchased in the past year( very hard on equipment) and these are fast becoming my favorite. No stress cracks or dis coloration have formed in the usual spots, so I can tell already they're gonna be long lasting. Aside from the surprising sturdiness, the sound is beautiful, rich and accurate while being extremely simple and intuitive out the box( reading instructions is a last resort for me, I enjoy figuring s#&t out- that's why I fix stuff for a living) definitely recommend and worth every penny

This is probably the best headset out right now not only you can change the earphones it sounds amazing and feels so nice it feels like there not even on your head and it’s wireless that comes with a charging base also you can change the sound quality to Dolby Atmos.

Works really well for PC. Used them on the xbox and for some reason my party could not hear me sometimes and would have to reset the headsets. Also the top foam piece keeps falling off and the plastic rests on your head eventually hurting. I think its a little to expensive for it to fall apart like that. My brother has the same ones and he said he just uses a zip tie to hold them. I guess I will be doing the same. Last thing is the dolby option for sound is only decent for music not good for gaming.

I’m not a heavy gamer but i do enjoy the finest equipment. this is definitely in that category. This headset is very comfortable on the head for long gaming sessions and very adjustable for all head shapes and sizes. and if you don’t like the ear cuffs that come with the headset there are tons of replacements you can buy, some having memory foam or cooling gel depending on what you need. the quality of this mic is insane, i have a very soft voice and this mic picks up what i’m saying with ease. set up was a little difficult since i play on xbox but once you get it working there are rarely issues. and there are so many customizations you can do to the mic to allow different volumes or change the range of feedback you get. it’s definitely something everyone can make personal to their own style.

I’ve had many headsets but they all missed the marked somewhere never being 100% enjoyable. These here are all around Great! Comfort is excellent, controllability & ease of use including hooking up A+, battery charging is a lil long but the the charge lasts forever so setting in the cradle over night gives you and all day+ charge. Surround sound is top notch especially while playing these games, you hear everything left right top bottom. Sneaking up on you no problem you heard them coming. Excellent purchase.

The audio is great! however, the mic is always a little muffled. Its an Astro thing. I owned a few sets and their mics are never really great. However, they aren't bad. I just think for the price they would fix it because it's a common complaint with it. I do know that they last! I owned 3 pairs and never had any problems. I dont think i would even normally buy this set becausemy old (4 years) work great but I like how the earcups can be changed. The range is better than the older asrtos as well.

The Astro A50 is a great headset—very comfortable, really good sound, and easy to use. I am a big fan of the docking station where you can leave your headset set charging, which, in my opinion, is easier than connecting it somewhere.
