Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had the original A50 wireless and this version is much improved. In addition to the technical upgrade (5ghz wireless), the product finally feels like a premium product considering it comes at a premium price. The previous version had a cheap plastic stand that could barely support the weight of the headset. The new version has a charging base that is also the receiver which is a better implementation. Great sound, no drops in connection, an overall great product.

Great surround sound to come in from a headset! Doesn’t matter what game your playing or even what movie you are watching; this headset brings you the best quality sound you can get to date.

My son accidentally sat on my PlayStation Golds so was looking for new headset. I did my usual thing when buying an accessory for something and typed in "Best headset for PS4 2017" in to google. This was pretty much the top high end headset for every site I went to. The Golds are great for 99 dollars. But these things just blow them away I'm sound quality. It's more precise. I wish Best Buy had a booth so you could hear the difference in the two headsets. I play Battlefield 1 regularly and the Golds are good enough that you'll hear the foot steps and little things like that. But these A50s take it to another level. When you hear the bass on that grenade that hit next to you. Or the sound of the guns firing. You'll instantly notice how much better the sound quality is. One other thing that I love about them that I didn't care much for with the Golds, when I turn on the headset my tv sound is still going. When you turn on he Golds your tv mutes. So when I'd take my headset off to go get a drink or something I didn't hear if game started or someone was talking to me in chat. With the a50s I can still hear the tv and those in room with me can hear them as well. Which is huge with the PS vr. If you are playing with headset you want the people playing games with you to hear the tv.

While there are cheaper headsets with decent sound, this is easily the best top-of-the-line headset I have tried. It's loaded with features, and the auto-shut off works as advertised. The only complaint I have (and this is a minor quibble) is the microphone sounds a bit hollow, but since I am not a professional streamer (because that is totally a thing) that does not matter to me overmuch. Also, if you can afford it, get the Mod Kit available for these - while the leatherette headband isn't much to write home about, the ear cups add a little more sound isolation, which makes these pretty much block out all but the noisiest parts of the outside world.

If you're looking for an amazing headset, look no further. This generation is even better than the last. Truly wireless! There is no cable required between the headset and your controller.

As always, Astro makes a comfortable and very durable headset. Sound quality is pretty good, but there are minor annoying problems. Headset is frustrating to properly dock for charging. Also, I find sound issues and syncing issues that require me to reset my settings in the Astro Command center. The wired a40s have superior sound and easier to adjust for game/chat balance, but if you want wireless, this is still a great headset.

I've had these for quite some time now and still love them! Great audio, comfortable, last long.

I’ve had these for a while now and they’ve done great! The battery life is good and lasts a while. It doesn’t seem to lose battery life if left off charger as long a it’s off. I’ve had it off the charger for about a week now and have used it couple times and still have battery life left. Sound is great. These have yet to show any wear and tear to them and they are used almost daily. Great product!

Sound is fantastic. Very comfortable. The base is a little finicky but not too bad. Wireless cuts out sometimes but is not terrible by any means. Mic is pretty good. Other people say it's a little muddy compared to my a40's. Got it on sale so made them a better purchase. Have had mainly Astros and have researched ALOT of headsets. These are very solid all the way around if you can swallow the steep price tag

While I thoroughly enjoyed the headset for the small amount of time I had them, it's hard to really justify the price. Sound quality was great but not the best and while they are initially the most comfortable thing you will ever put on your head, extended use of more than an hour started to give me a headache. I think my head may have just been too large as I had it on its max length so big headed people, this may not he the headset for you.

For the prIce you wouldn’t think that you would have to spend extra to get the premium ear cushions. However they are comfortable just the way they are. I would buy them again

For the price tag, I would say they are okay. I've been using the Logitech G930 wireless 7.1 headset for as long as I can remember and these take a little getting use to. For the price I would think you could grab a pair of senheiser's and a separate microphone for the same price but you can't talk wirelessly. I'm still considering it, but these are great if you want an complete all-in-one package.

I am so glad I was able to get this headset on sale. I was skeptical about paying os much for this headset for the Xbox One and now I have no regrets with all the features that it brings like the accelerometer to save battery when put down, or the easy mute option or game/chat volume button is well placed. The battery life is great. I don't know how else to describe a great product, I haven't had any connection issues as claimed by some.

I had the Turtle Beach 800X and went thru 3 of them in the pass year n a half. (Thankfully I had the protection plan when I got the 1st headset). The Best Buy worker showed me the Astro- A50 and said for the money I would like the Astros better. He was right, they are very lite weight and the ear pieces are soft. The battier life is good and for the long gaming days you can still charge the battier with a cord and just on the base.

It gets the job done for gaming and you can customize your own sound settings and upload them into the headset i can hear enemies footsteps pretty loud in ww2 call of duty

Great sound, but don't feel like you have to use the default options. Google or youtube some custom settings from audiophiles for certain games. It will be a much better sound

Works perfect for my needs. I have owned multiple headsets and this one is far better than the others. I have been eyeballing it for awhile and picked it up for like 224.99.

This headset sounds amazing as did my A40 headset. The only problem that I have with it is that the headset operates on the same wireless frequencies as the standard wireless router. Now in a house by yourself you are able to set up your router so that it will not interfere, but in my case with an apartment building there is too much interference at times from other apartments that the headset cuts out completely.

Great sound, comfortable with long battery life. Best headset I’ve owned.

The Astro A50s are amazing! Sound quality is awesome. The Dolby is awesome too. Only bad thing is the battery doesn't last long enough. Other than that they are amazing.
