Customer Ratings & Reviews

I take my gaming seriously and I need high quality mics with no audio issues and the Astro a50s delivered in every way possible they have a strong wireless connection I can walk across my house and the connection won’t drop or cut out at all and the boys can hear me perfectly, and I receive the best audio from the game sound and party chat and the battery life is amazing I can game all day and the headphones will barely start to die and unlike any other headphones I’ve used in the past you can charge the headphones and use them at the same time but the only inconvenience is you need a laptop or computer so you can tune the headset and update them periodically but that’s not usually much of an issue

Brought these for my xbox one x and at first I was estatic about it. Crystal clear gaming, dolby audio and a base station and the headphones cups was super comfortable. Things started to get interesting as time went on. The headset wasn’t charging, not connecting with the xbox. Not expecting it but i took them back and got a refund.

I couldn't be more impressed with this pair, for the price you definitely get your moneys worth. Being able to use it on both the Xbox one x and my windows PC I can easily manage game , chat , and pc audio all wireless via the base station. I hardly ever worry about the battery life after using them for hours and hours comfortably. Also Astro rolls out the firmware updates depending on your platform so you stay up to date .

The firmware needs to be updated before you plug it in for use, that mistake the first time cost me a few hours of headache and finally a swap out, however the second set was just what I wanted. Great sound, good comfort level and the batteries seem like they will last 15hrs, although it longer than I ever ran them. Also they turn off if you lay them down, and come back on when you pick them up, a feature I didn’t read about anywhere

Overall, I've been happy with this headset. The construction feels solid. My previous headset was a cheap Turtle Beach unit, so this was significant upgrade. The improvement in sound quality and build quality is quite substantial. This headset has some nice features and works well with both my PC and PS4 Pro. Wireless is really convenient. Battery life is great. Satisfied customer.

Overall the other reviews are accurate. It's a great headset, and I love the base station. I have it set up so I can listen the game audio and laptop audio at the same time (I can edit videos in between deaths on COD). I have had some connection issues that are resolved by turning it on and off...but those have been pretty rare. On the other hand the range is incredible. I can walk all around the house and still hear the audio fine (not a huge house...but I was able to hear the audio from two floors up). Very comfortable as well. I would say comfort is on par with the A40s. If you have the money, grab these.

I've had this for about a year now. Still sounds amazing and is very comfortable. Till this day I haven't had the battery die on me. And I've gamed for 12 hours straight one time. People were complaining that this headset was quiet in the past. This headset goes loud after the recent update. So that is not a problem anymore. Mic quality is also amazing. Astro is number one in gaming audio quality in my book.

Its a great product, great quality, and REALLY comfortable! My one main concern with this product is the headband piece keeps popping out of its socket and won't go back in, I've tried superglue and it keeps popping out! Also you have to pay $109.99 for the 2-year warranty. Also after you purchase the item you can not get the 2-year warranty from the app unless you go to your nearest best buy for them to check the condition. In my opinion should not matter. Especially since you bought the item in full for north to $300.

Love Astro gaming headsets! Battery life is decent and the fact that it is wireless is amazing. Using the headset for extended periods of time is also a plus because your ears or at least mine do not get hot or bothered. Build quality is also great. Only way I can see this being improved is if it was upgraded to a usb type c connection.

Excellent sound, soft and light. Great value! Love that it is wireless and has a great range.

I was little hesitant on buying another Astro after the last pair of A40 had mic issues but it was directly with the mix-amp. But the A50 work just as good. The only issues is the price point. $300 doesn’t seem worth compared to the SteelSeries wireless headset. Which is half or $100 less. However, it’s still Astro headset so the sound quality is amazing. Even with Dolby Atmos. I had to complains from friends when using the mic and I speak very low. It feel comfortable. Played destiny 2 for 6 hours and felt comfortable. Didn’t feel heavy or needed to put it down for a moment to give my head a break.

I searched for a long time and tried multiple headsets and finally landed on this one. Its a bit pricey but the Mic quality is outstanding, as all my friends can hear me perfectly. The audio quality from these drivers is far superior to previous generations. The bass is clear and hits well but is not over powering or muddy. The app is also put together well and offers EQ profiles and a manual custom EQ option. Battery life so far is very good and the dock makes charging easy when your finished playing. I would highly recommend if it fits your budget.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST HEADS I'VE EVER WORN. I've gone through a few headphones ( turtle beach, artics pro, and more). These by far stand out the best for quality of sound, and durability. 1.5yr later I decided to by the mod kit that adds an extra umph and it was worth it. The only reason for 4/5 stars is because the base station does not charge on the PS5 while in rest mode because of the amount of amp it requires so I have to leave my PS5 on for a few hours to bring these bad boys back to life after they die. I do wish they had removable batteries so that when one dies, the other can replace it while they charge. I'll most likely buy the next gen if they do come out with 1 for the PS5

I’d rate these 4.5/5 stars. Sometimes the connectivity can be a little buggy and charging station very delicate when setting the headphones on and charging, but the sound quality is great and I’d buy this again.

Super lightweight, I went from A40s on a TR pro mixamp to the A50s, Ive definitely noticed that they arent as loud, but the actual quality of the headset is the same if not better. The flip to mute is probably my favorite feature, that and the mobility of wireless. The battery has also yet to die on me, but i dont play for 15 hours at a time!

Upgraded from Turtle Beach. Lightweight and great sound. Very comfortable

I've tried these headphones on my Mac, PC, and TV, and it works great on all of them. The microphone quality is the best I have seen in any wireless headset. And because it is 2.4GHz wireless, the audio quality is amazing. In Dolby mode it sounds and feels like I'm in a theater. Super comfortable and lots of cool features that left me thoroughly impressed!

BEST PURCHASE EVER! My fiancé’s favorite headset finally went out so we decided to purchase these as a replacement. The sound quality is out of this world. Literally taking you within the game, this allows the advantage over competitive gaming! Setup was easy and controls are straight forward. Can be paired with Dolby Atmos (on XBOX) when you download the app for the ultimate listening experience! One of the most comfortable headsets we’ve owned with cushioned ear cups. My favorite part is the Bluetooth feature. Love not having to connect the headset to a controller anymore. I also like the fact that the resting/charging deck doesn’t take up much space. It’s nice to not worry about charging between uses and helps keep the gaming area tidy. Very happy with the purchase of these. HIGHLY recommended

Had to return the first one since it was defective... would not connect to pc at all. But the second one works great. Pros: Comfortable to wear Fairly easy to setup when it works Great sound Good range Comes with lifetime dolby atmos for headphones Cons: Doesnt sound as good as wired a40s did Mic quality kinda lackluster

Needless to say, I was extremely excited to receive and use my newly purchased A50's. This was primarily due to the long-standing hype that Astro consistently produces the best gaming headsets on the market. Initially, I was thoroughly impressed, the headset is designed well (aluminum trusses for durability), and is one of the more comfortable headsets I've used (Plantronics RIG 800 is still more comfortable IMO). Setup is rather straightforward, although you do have to wait several hours for the headset to fully charge before using it for the first time. Once up and running the headsets sound quality is absolutely superb, especially when used in conjunction with Dolby Atmos (a 2-yr subscription is included). You will definitely notice an enhanced spatial awareness while gaming with the way in which the headset is engineered. If anyone is still reading this review at this point, you are probably thinking to yourself that all of the above information is all 5-star worthy, why the 3-stars. Well, if you're like me, you are making this purchase to do some form of online multiplayer. I normally play FPS's with friends, and this is where all the problems arise. The Game/Chat Mixing on this headset is absolutely atrocious. Most headsets incorporate a dial to allow the user to blend their preferred amount of game volume vs chat volume. However, the Gen4 A50 game/chat mixer is located on the external aspect of the right ear muff and is modulated by clicking it forward or to the rear to adjust between game/chat. When you go to either extreme (all game, or all chat) you will hear an audible cue of two rapid beeps and you will also receive an audible cue of one beep when you are at a 50/50 blend between the two. But one click of the button in either direction does not equate to movement of one position in the scale between the two extremes. More often than not, I have attempted to slightly increase the game volume over the chat volume just to have the headset randomly go all the way to the extreme of all game with no chat, while attempting to dial it back the headset will then go all the way to all chat and no game. This problem has been a reoccurring theme ever since I have had the headset. Suffice it to say that this is extremely frustrating and basically makes using this headset for online multiplayer completely pointless/useless, which is what I purchased this headset for. If you are watching a movie, listening to music or playing a game where chatting with a friend and needing to hear the finer details of the game are not a priority, then it's a great sounding headset. But for me, the game/chat mixing design on this absolute garbage.
