Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Gen 4 A50 is lighter in weight, more flexible, and therefore more comfortable than previous models. The base station is finally fixed and is easier to dock the headset to get it to charge, on the first try. MY biggest issue w/ the previous Gen 3's were that they would cut in and out.. ASTRO knew about the issue with their 5ghz connection being interfered with, so they switched to 2.4 and I haven't had a single sound drop yet. As for sound, these are still at the top of the market both in price and quality. They really do have a crisp sound. I haven't found any major differences in sound from previous generations, so it is still the same ASTRO sound (which is not a bad thing). The one thing I did notice is that these have less bass than the Gen 3's that were booming. OVERALL: A great headset that fixed a few annoying issues from previous generations. Not a major upgrade from Gen 3, but a major upgrade for anyone who has not owned an ASTRO headset before.

This headset is the best gaming piece ive ever bought.

The top piece pops off every time you use it and is uncomfortable.

Constant issues, random disconnects and re-installs, device memory not worth its price

Stoped working after they were no longer returnable. 2-3days for them to get back to you at astro.

was an amazing gift and it absolutely was wonderful

Do not get these they have a lot of issues save your self the trouble they cost 300 dollars just for a new issue with them every week

Headset did not work properly even after hours of troubleshooting. Unable to push updates on these, unable to adjust sound, unable to use plain and simple. Really disappointed considering the price.

Best headphones ever. I definitely recommend them.

I had mines for a month now and my headset is bending different ways and doesn't feel comfortable. Can't return it cuz it passed the returning

This headset is the best one I’ve used so far. I’ve owned Turtle Beaches, Steel Series, and Razers. I like these the most. 1) The build. It uses high quality metal adjusters that don't squeeze too inward when on your head. So it makes them a confortable fit. Along with the soft cushions. Although they should add the leather ones with the headset, the leather ones add more sound blockage and create a more surround feel, they are less comfy and get hot. The stock ones do not. But they are by far the most comfortable headset. 2) The sound is AMAZING. I hear everything in game. Absolutely recommend this headset just based off the sound and thats saying something considering these are 300 dollars. 3) The connectivity with the charging base is fine. It functions for me just like it should and charges just fine. Using a PC you can customize your headset with the base station. Very nice additions. Makes it worth it for me and gives me all I can ask for when it comes to convenience for gaming. The only reason I would not recommend is the price. Bit if your looking for the best experience for gaming, then these are for you. Luxury usually comes with a price and these prove that point. But if you have the cash, and are willing to buy these, based on my experience, they will not dissapoint.

Bought For my husband for our anniversary the 1st one didn't work went to the store and returned it got a second 1 and the 2nd 1 doesn't work.

I like playing games on both the Xbox and PC. So for the past month, I have been testing the Astro Wireless RF, A50 headphones. In the box you get the headphones, a base station, a 3 ft micro USB cable and a 3 ft Optical cable. My initial impression after I took it out the box is that these are definitely premium headphones. The headphones were light, sturdy and had some super soft and comfortable microfiber ear cups. Set up was easy. I started by charging the headphones, plugging the micro USB into the base station and computer then pressing the button on the base station that says PC/Xbox. (If the base station is not set to PC the computer will not see the Headphones) There is also Command Center software that you can download on Astros website that allow you to tune the sound of the headphones and store the different sound profiles on the headphones. **Make sure you use download this software because it is the key to unlocking the full potential of these headphones. If you are playing on an Xbox you will need to connect both the USB and the optical cable into your Xbox then press the button for Xbox on the base station. All the sound profiles you created on the PC will still be available. When using the headphones, with or without the Dolby Atmos, they sounded absolutely amazing! You will definitely notice every detail in the sounds and they will be coming from multiple directions. There were a few times when I couldn't tell if the sounds were coming from the headphones or something happening inside my house. The built in Boon microphone also sounded great. It was so good I had friends asking "what are you using to make the sound so clear." The battery is also great, I was able to play for 6 hours and they did not go below 50%. With all that being said, these are the absolutely best headphones I ever used.

Utter garbage. I’ve gotten 2 brand new devices that are defective out the box. The biggest waste of $300 dollars.

Great headset but stopped working entirely after about 9 months. Really upsetting for the price.

Everything else was ok but there was no sound. Had to return to the store.

Bought these for my adult son. He could not get the sound to work with his laptop properly. Had to be returned.

I really like these headphones. They are a good fit for function vs style. The Command Software is just ok for use on the Xbox but there were a significant amount of options for use when PC gaming. Pro's: Very Detailed sound quality. Can adjust the levels of what sounds you hear when hooking up to the PC Premium Headset Quality The Noise Cancelling is really really good. This is a big deal because it is my #1 gripe with cheaper headphones. Comfort is very good. Cons: Looks just like an average pair of Gaming Headphones. Have to power cycle the base everyday. Requires a PC to update the firmware on the headphones. In the end I love them. So comfortable. battery lasts all day. you just set it back in the dock when your done, then you never have to worry. i never got them below 50% and that was when i kept them out of the dock for a night

I cannot accurately review this product. As best buy refused to exchange a defective product to push their new services of total tech

I got of these in a row and even the replacements that came dont work. Dont waste you money
