Customer Ratings & Reviews

Comfort: The Headset itself is remarkable when it comes to comfort! I love the head comforter on the top and the after having the HEADSET ON YOUR HEAD FOR SEVERAL HOURS it wasn't bothering me much at all! The headset doesn't bother as much as the PlayStation Gold or Elite Headsets do and those bother me after about an hour of gameplay however the AR50's are almost perfect when it comes to comfort! The headset also has quite a large expansion setting so I guess anyone from a 6 years old girl to The Incredible Hulk could put this thing on and it would fit comfortably well. And distance you can step away from the Base Station is remarkable! Holy cow! I have a yard that is 2 acres wide and I find myself going outside with my dogs as I watch them when I let them out and mind you my PlayStation 4 Pro is over an Acre away and two rooms into the house and I can still clearly hear all my friends still playing there games while they wait for me with letting the dogs out. But this thing is INSANE when it comes to how far away from the system you can be when you walk away from the system! It's freaking amazing and the Sound is still top notch!!! Cons: SOUND OPTIONS & Overall BASE STATION DESIGN! Positive on Sound: Amazing sound perhaps the best sound I've heard in a long time. However I never was able to turn the VOICE CHAT up or down and it seemed to be always be in sink with the game sound. Negative on the Sound Option: Basically I wish there were two sound options like the official Sony PlayStation Gold and Elite headsets have. Meaning: one UP & DOWN options for VOICE sound and Another UP & DOWN option for Game Sound. But this headset doesn't have that option like the Sony Headsets do. Positive on BASE STATION: The actual Headset istelf when it's in it's seated spot is great and it does charge amazingly! Negative on BASE STATION: I really wish I could have this head set back but I had to return it because the CHARGING station is horribly designed! I can only stress to anyone that owns this headset to PLEASE BE EXTRA CAREFUL WHEN PLACING THE HEADSET INTO IT'S CHARGING STATION!!!! I found that the headset doesn't place back into it's slots correctly in the BASE STATION. If your not careful when placing the headset back in it's charging station you can possibly cause the metal CHARGERS that stick up that charge the headset to snap off leaving you with a Charging Station that doesn't charge the headset anymore. FINAL THOUGHT'S: The last part though is the reason why I won't buy another one of these headsets! And I won't buy another one until they FIX the actual BASE STATION DESIGNS! Those small tips CAN BREAK SO BE CAREFUL when placing the headset into it's BASE STATION!

Best headset you can buy for the xbox one. Easy to set up, light, very comfortable for extended play, no wire to the controller needed. Charging cradle is perfect, late night surround sound without waking up my wife.

These headphones are light and the battery lasts a long time (when charged 100%). I did notice that if you leave the headphones off the charging dock overnight (even when not using it) and come back the next day to use, your battery will be drained ALOT. I don’t know why this happens but apparently that’s the main issue with these astros. But as long as you keep them on the charging dock when “not in use” expect a good 10-14hours of battery life and if you have a USB charger, you can plug them into charge and play at the same time and they charge pretty fast with the USB (about 2-3hours). Sound quality is superior and I would choose these over turtle beach. (Used to be a turtle beach user)

I have been an Astro user for over 3 years now. I have only gone through 2 headsets (only got another one because I purchased the xbox one version once it release) This product functions great and looks better. Love not having a wire connected to my controller, and the docking station is awesome, no more plugging!

I bought this headset on sale and was able to get a great price on it. That being said, I would not have bought this headset for full price knowing what I know now. The sound and mic are great, but it's extremely difficult to set up and tune in the sound for it on the ps4. Time will tell how they hold up...

This is a true virtual surround sound and makes it very easy to determine locations of players from a directional perspective. Amazing audio quality and very comfortable. The USB has to be plugged in to the xbox for the mic to work but audio will work without that so leave it out if you want just audio and no mic. On one occasion I had an issue with the red lightning bolt flashing red and the headset not charging. I powered up the xbox then re-seated the headset and it began to charge. I suspect that the xbox drops power output to their USB ports after a period of time so seat the headset for charging before power off and you should avoid this. Really, really nice and these will flat smoke turtle beach.

This is by far the best headset I've ever had my life. Sound quality is amazing, the first time I wore these somebody talk to me game behind me felt like they were actually in the room. I jump like a little school girl! Do yourself a favor if you're going to buy a headset spend the money and buy these.

This headset is easy to set up and has amazing quality. Super comfortable for long usage and has incredible audio. Love the wireless aspect too. 10/10 would buy again.

As it says above, amazing comfort and sound. There are days where I game 10+ hours and I never get the pain around my ears like I do with other headphones. The charge lasts pretty much all day.

These are great headphones you can literally hear everything and it cancels out all outside noise only complaint I have is they can not go very far from the base station and occasionally cut out

Needed an upgrade from my wired headphones. Bought these on sale and haven't looked back. Sound quality, comfort and battery life are great.

I love this headset. The sound is great, the mic is good, and they are the most comfortable I have ever owned, even with glasses on. If you are using Atmos via home theatre, you need to disconnect the base station to allow for the use of HDMI audio. For $100 more, you can get a base station so you can use this on PS4 too. It works for PS4 just as well as Xbox. I find myself using these instead of the home theatre because I can turn them up nice and loud after the kids go to sleep and not compromise the audio experience. After buying the headset and base station, you're out $400 + tax. Worth it? Maybe.

I use to own the Turtle Beaches ELITE 800X HEADSET and those were alright. Mic sucked and friends would complain that i was too low, the sounds was alright, wasn't really immersive. And i hated how the ear pieces was plastic feeling, would get hot around the ears and if i wore my glasses it was just uncomfortable. They finally broke and decided to give these a try. SO MUCH MORE comfortable! love the foam around the ears, - cooler and great audio for playing videogames. The mic is great and i can use these for my Xbox one and PC! woudl def recommend.

When I bought this headset, I already owned 2 previous sets of Astro head gear and new the quality and customization that sets it standards by. What i did not expect was for the headset to have that Abode atmos feel. Hearing things like the cursor moving on the Xbox home page but, instead of hearing it from the headphones it felt like it was coming from somewhere else. Talk about 3d sound. The comfort level, Customization, Sound that beats Beats by Apple, flip the mic up to mute, and wireless too. I can truely say that once you Go astro you will have new standards. NOTE if buying this headset you need to get the warranty because it is expensive.

These truly are the best headsets you can buy, loud, completely wireless, surroundsound, long lasting battery, great sound, good bass. They’re expensive for a reason

If you want great sound and a wireless experience then these will do it. Pros- great sound,completely wireless Cons- heavy at first but I got use to it, not cheap

Bought this headset because my xbox one headset starting cutting out. I primarily use a headset to communicate with guild members and others in ESO. The headset works fine with the normal game sounds in ESO as well as other games. However, you have to constantly unplug and replug the connection on the back of the headset stand in order to get gamechat to work in ESO. So if you're looking for a good headset for ESO you're better off using the much cheaper xbox one headset for $19. The headset charging base is another problem. It's very difficult to get the headset to connect correctly to charge if you try to set the headset on the pins. I ended up just using the cable that was provided to connect to the stand to charge instead. The charge on the wireless doesn't last very long (perhaps 5 hours) and if you don't have it on the charger at all times it will run out fast. The headset is comfortable. Only slight irritation around the ears. Otherwise pretty good as headsets go. The sound quality is pretty good also. You can hear a lot of things that you wouldn't otherwise hear through speakers which can be very helpful. The wireless connection works very well when moving around the room. As far as the gamechat connection problem with ESO, that is more with that game and the headset not being compatible. From game discussions a lot of other people are having gamechat issues with ESO and not with other games. Not sure where the fault really lies (xbox one, ESO or Astro) but as the user it's not good and very frustrating. If it wasn't for the gamechat issue, I would rate the headset as 4 stars.

Great headset comfort quality Experience Dolby 7.1 surround sound for up to 12 hours of gaming with this A50 wireless headset. Its adjustable size and soft cushions makes it the best

I bought this headset because my Turtle Beach 800x broke because the plastic on them gets flimsy after so long. I am done with Turtle Beach so I decided to give these a try. The first thing I noticed was the area where the ear cups is NOT made of plastic so it shouldn't break by me just putting them on like my Turtle Beaches did. As far as sound, these are great for what I am playing at the moment(Destiny 2, Fifa 19 and RDR2). I do wish these had more EQ settings but I am not that worried about it. My only gripe is the price tag. Other than that, a very solid headset!

I previously owned the Turtle Beach ELITE 800x headphones for my Xbox One and thought they were the best. I was getting a lot of complaints about the sound of my voice being in a fish bowl or tunnel so I decided to switch it up and picked up the Astro A50 wireless headphones. Great overall comfort and sound. Way better then the Turtle Beach headphones and actually cost less. Only issue was that there is no stream port for chat audio so if you are planning to record chat audio for streaming or videos I recommend the Astro A40 TR which I actually returned these for but both are absolutely amazing especially for games like RAINBOW Six Siege.
