At first i bought the arctics steel series, although its a good headset for pc its not good for ps4 because ps4 doesnt give surround sound through bluetooth. But this astro headset right here is the real deal. You get real surround sound, eq adjustments. And gives you plenty of options to plug in auxiliary to your phone if you want to use discord and play on ps4 at the same time. Great investment.

I’ve tried so many other headsets and I ALWAYS come back to this one. I’ve repurchased twice. It’s the best quality audio and I love the ease of the base.

They are a good pair of headsets. But they do disconnect allot.

This has to be the most comfortable headset I have ever owned. Oh and they sound fantastic too.

After about 4 months the mic has a hard time unmuting if I push the mic physically up, have to try to unmute many times before it eventually unmutes

The audio is amazing in moneys worth but pad especially for the top part getting worn out pretty fast. Mic is okay everytbign else aside solid

Great headset not muffled and like that it has a charging base. I recommended this head set to my friends who play Xbox.

This review is specifically for use with a PS5. Had this headset and used it for many years with an Xbox One X. Worked great. Upgraded my system to a PS5 for a newer console and decided to stick to what I know. The Astro A50 plugged right in and the Playstation recognized it right away. Set my PS5 in rest mode and went about my business. Come back to find out that they will not charge while the PS5 is in rest mode. I know there is a fix on youtube but there shouldn't have to be a fix with this price point. Do some more research and find that not all features are available right out of the box and you need a $40 adapter. Why! IF that's the case then sell with the adapter for $340! No charging on rest mode and you need an adapter? Going to have to pass. Gave it two stars because it's a great product and super comfortable, just not for PS5!

I bought the Astro A50 headset for my Xbox Series X on a Friday and took it back by Sunday afternoon for a refund. The sound quality is definitely superb, but you'll have to download the Dolby app from the Xbox store in order to sync your set and get the audio to come through. (I paid for the Dolby Atmos access before realizing that it's apparently supposed to be free(?) if you have a Dolby Atmos device, so that's my fault. Don't make my mistake. I believe Dolby Atmos access is free if you buy the A50 headset.) I wanted to buy a top-of-the-line headset for gaming. This was going to be my headset for the next several years, so I justified the $250 price tag. I didn't even take it out of the box until Saturday night for gaming. That's when I found out that the charging base for the headset is ALSO THE SOUND TRANSMITTER, which is a terrible design! If the charging base isn't plugged directly into the Xbox while you are wearing the headset, you cannot get any audio or game chat to come through and the headset shuts off. My Xbox is mounted 6ft. up on my living room wall. I actually considered installing a shelf high up for the base to sit on. I couldn't just leave the charging base dangling from my console by the cord, so I stacked a box on a chair next to the console for my headset base to sit on, just I could talk with my friends during game play that night. (I know it's not glamorous, but I needed a quick solution to the problem.) The foam padding on the headband pops out of the headset almost immediately. Within 10 minutes of wearing them, the padding came out and the plastic head frame was just sitting on top of my head. No mater how many times, I popped the foam back in place, it immediately came out in seconds. I shave my head, so let me tell you that without the foam padding, this headset is PAINFUL to wear. This really frustrated me because when I first put them on, this was (up to that point) the most comfortable gaming headset I've ever worn. But for $250, poor design and manufacturing quality are unacceptable to me as a consumer. Other reviews have referenced the same problems with the foam and I wish I had done a bit more research before buying the A50 headset. I was so let down by this purchase and I absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND this headset, unless you plan on buying the $40 foam pad upgrade kit directly from the manufacturer's website.

In the past month I have had 2 pairs of these headsets I returned the first one because I had to speak loudly for my voice to get picked up by the mic. With the second pair, I had to reset it out of the box because I couldn't adjust the game/voice audio. Afterwards, I learned that it picked up my voice better but it randomly cut in and out. The sound quality was great and you can hear small details other headsets don't pick up. I came to these from the A20's and they were great. I was just trying these out to see the difference but my experience was ruined due mic issues. This may have been a bad batch but this is my first impressions.

Absolutely love them! Sound great and very comfortable! Even with my glasses!

Good headset. Very clear. The interface is a bit hard to figure out at first

This headset is AMAZING. Better than what I thought. The salesman told me what it would be. I thought he was exaggerating like most to sell the product. But he was telling the truth. Very crisp and LOUD sound. Only thing you can’t expect is to use them as a Bluetooth on your phone or other devices. Other than that, perfect.

Amazing love it, sound is amazing comfortable and charging dock ready to use

I replaced my broken Gen 3 with the Gen 4's and I really like them so far. The Gen 4's are much lighter than the Gen 3's which is really nice. I also like how the gen 4's work with Dolby Atmos unlike the Gen 3's. Only thing I don't like is the fact that my mod kit for the gen 3's don't fit the Gen 4's, because they made the magnet polarity oposite which just screams (Scummy business practices).

Ive owned astros before, and have forgotten how nice they truly are. Can wear them for hours on end, i wear glasses ans have earrings and it never has an issue with these headphones

let me get this out of the way, very expensive i payed 300 for it plus tax, no usb c, other then that i love the headset its a great ps4/pc headset good battery life, you need a pc to update firmware

Not very impressed with the gen 4. Only lasted a little over a year and a half. Headset works fine but won’t connect to the base station anymore. Top cushion likes to fall out a lot til the headset is broken in. Seems to have a lot more issues than my old gen 3 a50 had. Probably wouldn’t buy again.

The worked great for Ps4 but they just don’t hold up anymore on ps5. You can get the Astro adapter but the sound options are not the same on ps4. Its really not astros fault because they are solid headphones.

PERFECT headset. Great sound quality for gaming and extremely comfortable.
