Customer Ratings & Reviews

these headphones are great. premium price, but updated with the dock which I love. always charged and ready to go. love how it mutes when you lift the mic. love em love em love em. ears are super comfy adn interchangeable, real surround sound!

I love the desing, colors, sound, wireless, everything is perfect!

Yes the price is of course on the high side. Yes they're close to the console price it's self. But if you've ever worn headsets that eventually start to push up on your ears and the cartilage starts to hurt to the point where it's no longer enjoyable to even play for a short period of time, then it's just easier to justify the cost of these. The sound is great, the feel is overwhemingly better than any other headset, and i've tried the other brands higher models. No hissing sounds, no charge issues, no connection issues. These take a beating, as i've accidentally sat on these a few times, and they just bounce back. Setup is clean and simple. The only issue i've had is with the size of the receiver, it's a bit on the large size. They did however give it a streamline look as to go with the consoles so that's a plus.

First of all, I’m not an audiophile or an headphone expert. I exclusively game using headphones. Astro A50’s are the best pair of gaming headphones I have ever used. 7.1 surround system is an absolute joy and I found myself using these watching Netflix and Hulu. Thor and Black Panther on A50’s sound incredible. I bough PlayStation Platinum before these. Although Platinums are good enough for your average gamer like me, A50’s are just better enough to warrant the purchase. Mids are great, treble is incredible and the highlight is bass. Every time I shoot a gun in Red Dead Redemption 2, I can feel the rumble in my ear. I can pinpoint every direction where the environmental noices are coming from. You won’t regret this purchase.

The Astro A50 Headset is the best Headset. The volume quality is great and the battery lasts a long time and charges quickly as well. The headset is comfortable, however is secure and feels of high quality. I highly recommend this product.

Battery life is great, comfort is great, audio quality is great. The wireless charging base is a great idea but you have to place the phones in the base perfectly otherwise it doesn't charge...hence the 4 star. Otherwise they're great.

Very clear mic and deep bass and overall the sound is very clean

Bought these to replace my old turtle beach head set. Was cautious at first due to being a long time turtle beach supporter. But let me tell you I will never look back. Rechargeable and programmable from the base station. Can be plugged in the a power cable and still be in use with no noticeable feedback while in use. Sounds are crisp and clear. The computer application allows you to tweak the sounds to your preferences. Works with both the pc and the xbox. As for comfort the earphones are microfiber cloth my default and are really nice to wear. They do let a little bit of outside sound bleed in. This issue is completely eliminated if younger the leather ear cup replacements off of Astros website.

I had the original A50's, they were starting to not take a charge anymore so I upgraded to these. Feel just as comfortable as the original and the battery life is fantastic, only down fall is the range is way less than before. My older A50's I could walk upstairs and around the house and not loose signal and now if I walk 10-15 feet I loose signal, hopefully it's a just a defect, gonna exchange them and hope for the best...wish I still had my original ones if just for the range Pros: comfort, battery life Con: range

Though its expensive, the headset is great, no wires, completely wireless and great sound quality. You can hear everything going on around you while keeping you immersed gaming experience. The dolby surround sound is crisp and being able to customize your entire headset experience through your computer is great! The mic quality on the headset is great, my friends can hear me clearly and it picks everything I say up without any external noises thanks to the noise gate. My only complaint is that there is a connection issue to the base that requires you to have to reset the base by switching it from the xbox mode to the computer mode and back, which is minor but that will be covered in the next update for the headset according to Astro. Other than that the headset is great overall and I really love using it!

I’ve had my headset for almost a year now and I’ve seen the negative reviews on this headset after only a month or so, but they’re not all fair. I’ll start off with the cons and possible solutions/causes to the problems. It’s true that the mic does cut off frequently at times, but I’ve found that the cause of this problem is having the base station positioned near something with a similar frequency to the one it uses to communicate with the headset. For example, my headset never acts up unless I turn on my soundbar, which is next to my base station, but once I turn off the soundbar all the cutoffs stop happening and the mic works perfectly. It’s true that battery life is weird, but that only happened to me within the first month, it seemed to adjust itself after the month and they consistently reach a minimum of 8 hours of consecutive use. Another awkward problem is that if you leave your headset docked on the base station overnight it does drain your battery every now and then, but I just leave the headset hanging off my monitor and the battery doesn’t drain at all. I will say there has been one scary problem though that’s only ever happened to me once and it was that my headset didn’t charge or turn on at all a whole day, but luckily all I did was leave it alone for a couple days and it somehow fixed itself they work perfectly fine now. If you can deal with these problems, then I would 100% recommend this headset!! Some of the best sound quality in game especially if you adjust the settings on a pc beforehand, but I can also 100% recommend using them without adjusting any settings they work great. The mic is also perfectly clear, my friends have never once complained about any background noises or my voice sounding funny. Overall, once I got past the previous issues and I’ve gained experience on how to handle the headset I’ve fallen in love with them

After returning my Turtle Beach 800 x Surround sound headset after it was giving me mic issues I made the return to the Astros and let me just say the best decision I have ever made. This pair are very comfortable to wear, they are easy to setup, if you have a computer I would highly recommend messing around with the sound mixer but not mandatory. The sound, presets, and feel of this headset are the best in the market. The only downside to this headset is the mic is not all that great when your friends hear you which isn't terrible but it's a wireless headset it's not supposed to sound that great. The charging magnet dock isn't easy to snap on the first few weeks you try it but you get used to it after getting the hang of it for awhile. Overall this headset is worth it!

I've owned a few different gaming headsets in the past but once I landed on Astro there is no going back. Great design and quality to them, sound is great and makes it so I don't disrupt anyone else with my gaming by channeling all of the audio through the headset with just a couple of clicks. The A50's are absolutely worth the investment.

I love these things! Good battery life. I drive a semi and the noise canceling on them completely eliminates the sound of my truck and voice is crisp and clear on them. The sound quality is great and the headset feels great!

Like the title says, i've never used a better headset. Bought these as a Christmas gift for my son and he nearly pooed his pants when he opened them. First: no cable, the headset is wireless! Sure you need to wire the base, but that's a non-issue. Secondly, they sound great and give surround sound. The only issue, and i'm sure it's something we'll figure out: I can only get chat sound, no actual game sound. Luckily, my son is of the social variety and prioritizes chat with friends to game sound, so he loves them, even in the current configuration. I maybe would've gotten the PS4 variant cause I like the blue/black colors better, but my son proudly displays his Xbox pride with the green/black color scheme and honestly, they could not look cooler.

Turtle Beach makes a decent product, but I really wasn't happy with their 299.99 headset and returned them for the Astro A50. The A50 to me sound better both in game and in chat. The chat on the Turtle Beaches was a bit weird since the Turtle Beach - Elite 800X doesn't have a boom mic, instead they are built into the ear piece which I thought would be nice till I was in a party chat and things didn't sound very good for my friends. The Astro A50 build quality seem fine, the headset is really comfortable and everything is tweakable via your PC if the presets and controls on your headset aren't good enough. One downfall is that if you have both a PS4 and an Xbox One, you'll need the base for each. I haven't figured out a work around for this yet.

Headset and Sound quality is great. Very Loud. The Bass is overwhelming at times but it's manageable. Love the fact that it's completely wireless. May pay for that in the long run.....but hey I'll enjoy it for now.

Great headset premium build ! I love that's it wireless

I’ve never had a headset so perfect. It’s super light weight, and has excellent audio. The mic is very clean and responsive as well. Very comfortable fitting. The docking station has always been 100% too.

I picked these up as a replacement for turtle beach 800 elites, sound is good out of the box but you have to load the Astro app on your computer and update your headset then the sound can be fine tuned. They are comfortable but ear covers and head padding is low end but of course they will sell you a upgraded set of pads. The boom mic works well, just have to adjust to correct distance to mouth. Of course they are still new to me but good so far. The instruction manual is lacking and they only send one micro usb cable but you need two so you don’t have to keep removing the one they give you from base and gaming system so you can update headphones
