Customer Ratings & Reviews

I wanted a new headset for my PS4 and for my pc. As someone who has a higher end stereo system and V-Moda M-100 headphones I have high standards for sound. I did not want to go the mod mic route because I prefer a way to control chat volume and game sound indepently. Build quality and overall comfort; Astro has always been known for making really high quality headsets and these are no exception. The plastic doesn't creek and should be able to withstand daily use and abuse. One of my complaints with headsets (all headphones for that matter) is how some headband adjusters are loose and easy to adjust, the A-50s adjusters are firm I doubt these will move by themselves. One con is if you have a big head these might not work for you because on my medium sized head I had to max them out. Comfort is exceptional I can wear these hours on end and I forget they are there. Connectivity; Undoubtedly the most important part of a wireless headset is the connection itself. Astro uses the 5 GHz band for transmission at first this scared me because my router is on the same frequency also. The connection is as solid as you can get after around three hours of gaming I received one very minor cut out that lasted maybe 300 ms. Very impressive indeed! Connecting is fairly straight forward you plug the optical cord into your' tv/ps4 etc and the base has a passthrough so you can still use your' receiver. Sound quality; These are NOT a basshead headset! These are an audiophiles headset the frequency response, using the media preset, is flat and precise. Bass, Treble and mids are even and clear they don't overpower each other. Honestly I love these just as much as my home stereo and V-Moda's that's saying a lot. Microphone and mix amp; There's been some reviews saying that the mic quality is sub par, I agree with this while it's not bad I expect more from a $300 headset. The mixamp is Astro's claim to fame this is the reason why you want this headset. The mixamp is basically a pro tr built into the headset you have three presets built in (that you can fine tune in the Astro hub) along with the usual volume, and game/chat mixer. The mixer itself is perfect my only complaint is the "surround sound" makes the sound tinny and adds reverb. It's not horrible but it's lacking. Final thoughts; Battery life showed four bars after fours of gaming. Charging took around six hours from %0 to %100 not the greatest but on the plus side the battery should last several years before it degrades. Overall this a fantastic headset and would recommend it %100.

These are one of a kind headset when I had an Xbox one x they worked perfect but since switching to an Xbox series x no audio optical which pretty much turned these into $30 headset, really disappointed with how Astro is dealing with the situation.

I bought these headphones for my husband’s birthday. He was so excited to use it. The quality and sound was great on the first day. But on the second day it just stop working. It won’t even charge or turn on. So disappointed.

Got a better one for 125 from Logitech but other than that it's square

People complain telling me that the mic cuts off during gameplay.

Sometimes it doesnt charge. And doesnt turn on, no one knows why

Says battery will last 15 hours it don’t like 7 hours maybe

I'm going to make this short and to the point. If you have a wifi router in your home you will get inconsistencies with the sound intermittently cutting out. No one on the other end could hear me on the mic while playing a game. Took it back and exchanged for Bluetooth turtle beach.

I prefer the turtle beaches They sound a lot clear

I will never get Astros ever again. I just wanted to connect and play, but it took along time to connect. Also after o did all the steps, the Astros were still not connected. Never again. Rigs are better.

These headphones are not worth the money do not buy

This are a wonderful headset. BUT Buyer Beware, get the extra protection. This is the second set I bought, after having the Xbox version for not 2 years. The microphone started to die last week and I contacted Astro and explained the problem. I was asked to provide all the SKU and model numbers, I did. Then I was told to update the firmware and adjust some settings, I did. The problem is still there and I was told there is nothing more they can do as they do not have a repair house. SO I am now stuck with a $300 headset with a mic that doesn't work. and Astro is telling me to buy a new set... I am going to buy a new set BUT IT WILL NOT BE FROM ASTRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m a huge gamer and I’ve had this head set for a little under a year and it constantly disconnects. Theirs lag on the headset and their customer service doesn’t help or care.

I bought these thinking theyd be really good but ill just be sitting playing and it constantly cuts out and disconnects and its really frustrating.

Definitely one of the better headsets I’ve ever owned, but honestly not worth the price tag. If you got the extra cash laying around why not. But all gaming headsets are pretty close now a days, Astro’s unique because their just a bit louder than most. Also if you got a big head, these will definitely be comfortable!

I never do a review i mean never but i had to this time, ive owned just about every headset there is , turtle beach 800 elites , triton warheads tritton pro astro a40, logitech, and the list goes on and this headset is by far the best, cant beat wireless the battery life is amazing i was at 11 hours and they were still going , there lightweight under a pound very comfortable, wish you could remove the boom tho but no biggie, the only thing the 800 elites have on them is there is no boom and there there bluetooth but i dont need them for that, well worth the money the new base station is great compared to the old version where you had to plug them in, if you have the money then go out and get these and bestbuy warranty too, protect your product

First headset I bought mic wouldn't work at all. Did the update on firmware like Astro suggested and then the headset wouldn't power on again. Returned the headset for a second pair. They worked well for the first day. Put on base to charge overnight and next day the mic wouldn't work. Went online to see if there was something I had missed in set up or a fix for the problem. Wish I had read reviews before I bought these because I saw this was a common problem and not any solutions. For $300 there shouldn't be any problems like this. I returned the second set getting my money back.

After four days with this headset, I am extremely unsatisfied. When I opened the box thenfirst problem was with the manual, they sent me the xbox one manual rather than the proper ps4 one. After I properly set it up, there was a jarring metallic sound in surround sound mode, almost as if you were listening to it through a metal drum. The final nail in the coffin was after I hooked it up to the Astro Command app. While hooked up, I discovered the Equalizer switch was broken. The level of quality of this headset is fine for a $60 one. But for $300, that is just unacceptable.

The battery life is extremely poor and nowhere near what’s claimed. I’ve only had them for a month, and if I want to use them I have to plug them in to a usb cord I use to charge controllers near my couch. I made the mistake of also buying a second dock, so I could use them on both of my consoles. This is the LAST time Astro will get any money from me! They have a lot of happy customers so I’m sure this problem isn’t being taken too seriously, but I’m definitely not the only person who’s had it. Check their own forums.

I have had these for a while now, about 6 months. I enjoy these very much. I had to exchange one pair already because the base and the headset lost connection and wasn't communicating anymore. The base and the headset look nice, but trying to set the headset on the base to charge takes practice or maneuvering till it finally starts charging. I can game with this headset on for 6 hours straight and that's about when the battery starts getting low-ish, I usually plug in a Micro USB to the USB slot on the side of the base and charge them that way rather then messing with the base all to much. Overall I really like this headset, Id recommend getting the geeksquad though on them just incase you get a bad egg... and of course for the price why not invest that extra protection. *Thumbs up from me* =]
