Customer Ratings & Reviews

the sound amd comfort on these are unmatched to any others

I'll try to keep this brief, but all-in-all, I really wanted to love this headset. The soft padding in the ears is a incredible (far superior to any Turtle Beach headsets), but there are three major downfalls for this headset. First, when you power it on, you will always have a slight hum at all times. This will obviously disappear once you start playing and other audio is present, but if you're at the home screen its very obvious. Second, this headset will essentially disconnect itself from the base station after each use. The only way to resolve this is by disconnecting the power from the base station and rebooting, then going through the pairing session again. And third (and by far the most frustrating), this is a Logitech device, so you will need to use their proprietary software to update the headset and base station periodically by connecting them to a PC. 99% of the time, the software will not recognize a firmware update is required, so you will need to locate that manually on Logitech's website (this is also hidden, as their firmware updates are under "legacy" software updates, regardless if it's current or not. Very, very difficult to navigate and find, let alone install. Once you manage to update the firmware, you will still experience the pairing issue regardless, considering Microsoft doesn't play well with Logitech devices. Again, I really, really wanted to love this headset, but now it's just become an ordeal with all the inconveniences any time I want to play with friends in a party. Save your money, stray away from this one. Sorry, guys.

These are comfortable adjustable good headset I will recommend for gaming quality is there and the audio is very good

It’s a great reliable comfortable headset, sounds are great on it, great with noise canceling. I would highly recommend this headset to anyone who is looking for a good headset

Way better than steel series pro. Make sure to do a firmware update while using with ps5 to use it to its full capability. This system kicks, and holds a charge for 18 hours when bran new and charged properly. Amazing, update boosted loudness and boost by almost 30%

This product is super convenient for me to be able to play the game I am a streamer and needed a headset that fits my needs. In order to stream though I had to make this purchase because I own a PS5. In order to pick up sound from the game you NEED this headset. However though you will need to purchase the astro A50 adapter if you are trying to stream on OBS software. I highly encourage though getting the upgraded version of this headset the ASTRO A50X that comes pre-installed with the adapter for each console. (PS5, PS4, XBOX S/X, and PC)

Comfortable, great sound quality and easy to set up

Excellent sound quality through optical connection, footsteps are clear directionally and they provide a great sound stage. Microphone is also pretty solid, no complaints on either one of those fronts. However, build quality could use a little buff for the price point, my band on the top constantly pops out from lack of good clips to hold it in place but that’s my only gripe thus far.

Now that I've returned this headset after several months of use I will tell you the sound and controls are terrific. Now for the bad. The docking station is tough the get the headset down on the contact pins correctly. The bigest problem is that the headset small tiny screws that construct the headset comes out and these are very small allen screws that is very tiny. When the first came out, the srew was still in the hole. Tightened that one and all the ohters too. most were tight but there were a couple that could be tightened. Now fast forward to ove a week ago when I was having the toughest time with the connection. The end was when another screw came out and I was having a hard time finding that damned screw. Exchanged the headeset for a Sony H9 InZone headset. I will review that headset soon. If there was a foolproof slot for docking and the srews stayed in I would have had no problem with this headset. Maybe your luck will be different.

These headphones are really fricken awesome. Love the sound and the ease of use for these headphones. They come at a costly price without the “upgrades”. You’re spending the money on them already they should just give the upgrades in the package regardless. The second “bad” thing would be the headband. You can replace the head band, again it would be an upgrade but for players like myself I need to be able to play with one ear muff half way on. The A40s headband broke on me, same design. Just wish I didn’t have to worry about it on my A50s.

Headset works great, still been going strong after all the years

Sound is awesome on these. My only complaint is that the A50’s will not charge on the base station while PS5 is in rest mode. Research says it is a Sony issue that will be addressed in an update. But again the sound is super immersive and the headset is comfortable.

The best gaming headsets on the market. Consistency is the one word I can describe the Astro brand. The A50's are the bar for gaming when it comes to a wireless headset. The convenience of the charging dock and the Astro app to tweak the settings are above top notch.

Great headphones even if they are a bit on the expensive side. That being said, I did have some problems with these on Xbox. ( Sound cutting out, and the base not registering when plugged it) Your going to have to plug the base into a PC and download the software and upgrade the firmware. Really easy to do, but if you don't have a PC its going to be impossible to update the firmware. After I updated the firmware all the issues I had were resolved.

I bought this from my son for Christmas based on the recommendation of a Best Buy sales associate. I knew nothing about gamer headsets prior to this purchase. I just asked what was on of the best gamer headsets available and the Astro A-50 is what he recommended. I have since done some further research on the internet and the Astro A-50 is highly touted as one of the best wireless gamer headsets on the market. My son seems to enjoy the headset. He uses them daily. The set up was fairly simple. The price seems a little steep. I'd recommend these.

I made the switch from console to PC for gaming, eliminating the need for an Xbox. I wanted something that works with Dolby Atmos audio, as my surround system at home is a 5.1.4 setup via sound bar. This headset was the first listed on the Dolby site for compatibility with Atmos audio. Having no need for the Xbox specific base, I bought the PS4 version of this headset to allow for compatibility with a PS5 when I'm able to get one. So far, with PC usage, this headset is absolutely amazing. It took a little while to get setup properly, but since then, it's been a breeze. The surround sound works incredibly well, and the height audio fully immerses you. The deep bass rumbles throughout, but never overpowers the vocal audio to where you can't understand characters in games. There's a reason this thing is so expensive, but it's totally worth the cost for the incredible quality it possesses.

Upgrading to a wireless headset is so convenient. Having a headset mount without cables is such a space saver which leads to a cleaner, sleeker desktop space. As for gaming, the sound is crystal clear, the mic works exactly as advertised and it fits comfortably for long periods of time.

Great sound quality, works good with Xbox series X. Comfortable for long periods of time. Also easy to switch between using on my lab top and Xbox.

I have had several other headsets including the A40s. They are great but this set is awesome. I always wanted wireless but was worried about interference. I have had none and the sound is really really good. It paired up easy enough after I updated on my pc. Overall I love this headset!!

A good headset, but might as well drop the extra money on the Astro A50 X. The mic quality on the regular a50's is abysmal at best, although the sound quality is very good.
