Customer Ratings & Reviews

This headset sounds great, is super-comfortable, and is completely wireless. Couldn't be happier.

I have used the a50s for many years now and this is my second pair. I used to use turtle beach many years ago on the ps3 but they seemed cheaply made and broke easily. My first pair of astros lasted me 5 years without any problems and they still work fine but I just wanted an upgrade. Definitely a headset that’s actually worth the price. Oh, and the comfort and sound quality on these are amazing as well.

So overall it is a great headset, sound is good, charge time takes awhile but battery lasts a long time. Microphone automatic turn on when you flip it down is awesome, and the charging base station is cool too. The reason I only gave it 3 stars is because of two huge annoyances. I have a soundbar hooked up to my TV through HDMI for Dolby Atmos. You CAN NOT have this headset plugged in at the same time as the soundbar otherwise you can not use Dolby ATMOS. Its hard to believe the way they xbox is that it can not recognize each one as separate like it does in the settings aka one is a headset, the other is a soundbar, but I think it has to do with the dock that comes with the headset that plugs in via optical. So what you have to do to use dolby atmos sound through soundbar you have to take the power cord out of the base station of the headset, go into settings, and re setup your soundbar. To switch back to the headset you have to deconfigure dolby atmos and plug headset back in. You would think for the price you pay for these you do not have to worry about that. Major pain in the butt that should be fixed.

These have been great and fairly easy to setup. I also bought an extra PS4 base station so I could switch between PC/PS4 and Xbox One. These have very good sound and have been comfortable for many 8+ hour gaming sessions. Other players say that voice chat is clear also which is very good when teammates can hear you too.

Being a TB loyalist for more than 10 years I had never tried Astros. But recently TB thinks smaller ear cups are comfortable! They are NOT! I feel TB 800 stealth sound better/clearer but they don't compare in comfort plus the voice feedback is sooo much better on these Astros. I've had them for a month with no issues and absolutely love them! If you game for more than 1 hr at a time forget TB and make the switch!

This is my 3rd Astro headset. I have had the earlier A40's and the A40 TR and loved them. never had an issue i only upgraded to newer models. The new A50's are awesome! So comfortable you could them all day long. The sound is crisp and clear. The mic is super clear. The new base is great too! Now with the A50's you can customize your Eq settings for your playing style and if you like you can get the mod kit! A must buy!

Comfort, fit, materials, and sound are all five stars. Highly recommended.

I upgraded to the A50s after I was having some connectivity issues with my A20. These issues were not deal-breaking, just annoying. The A50s happened to be on sale and it was a good time for me to invest in this headset. As an easy overview, there isn't much bad with these as all. As you'd expect with a $300 headset, they work very well. This headset is aimed at a non-casual audience, though is easy enough for anyone to use. The sound quality is fantastic, and works great with Dolby Atmos. I have the headset paired with my Xbox One X and a 4KTV. One feature I love is that the ear cups have magnetically removable cushions, and the earpiece itself can rotate so you can wear it off ear or have it lay flat(er). Cosmetically, the headset looks good, though I think a dark grey or black would look better than the medium grey and bright green. Set up was very easy, and you can customize many audio settings, mic settings, EQ profiles, and more using the desktop app. It would be cool to tweak this on your console, but it's not too big of a deal. I think the sound quality is very good. I do not experience distortion on low or high end, and the headphones handle low end very well, and with a low EQ-bias on a the normal EQ preset. If you're looking into these, they're a good choice, possibly the best!

Got mine during the BF discount sale and it is worth the 220 I spent on it. Amazing bass, true wireless connectivity, quick one button switch from Xbox to PC.

I really enjoy this headset for the fact that I can hear everything in game that I couldn't with my last. The best part is the battery life and being wireless of course. I can use this for 5 or 6 hours straight and it'll only be down to about 55 percent battery left. And being wordless I can walk through my apartment and listen to music when I am cleaning up! I would definitely buy again in the future.

These headphones are the best bang for your buck. Connect to the Xbox directly with no wires. Charging is easy on the dock. No down sides to these headphones.

I have own all top brand headsets, turtle beach, titan, beats, but astros are the best ones by far. These headsets have a built in amp that makes the headsets loud and clear. Mic sound is clear as it can be. Game or movie Explosions on these headsets are the the best. Save your money and buy these. I've even bought the PlayStation and Xbox brand headsets they lack in volume and bass.

I was a big Turtle Beach fan (having had several of their headsets over my 20+ gaming years of exp.), however, my last exp with the 700s turned me off. These came recommended by some guys I play with. Great comfort and sound. Not 5 stars because the charging base is very finicky and they run on 5g Wi-Fi so some routers may interfere with the connection.

The Astro A50s, like its A40s wired counterparts have decent audio and comfort. As someone who has used different pairs of headphones and headsets for gaming, I can't tell these apart from cheaper $100 headsets even with surround turned on. Mic quality also isn't the best. If you can find them on sale, they may be a decent buy but hard to recommend at $300.

I got this during black friday sales for $224. The built quality is top notch and the 7.1 sounds in game is incredible. I'm really happy with the purchase.

Astro Gaming - A50 Wireless Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset for Xbox One and Windows - Black and Green------great product, sound quality is amazing!

Used to be a turtle beach guy until I bought these, now it’s game over

Very good product. Comfortable to wear. Clear, crisp sound. Wireless nice.

sound is excellent lightweight very comforable easy to connect

Let me tell you these things were worth donating my blood and platelets to the blood and platelets center. I could feel like the people online were breathing over my neck into my ear. Battery life is outstanding, when they’re not in use and on they go into sleep mode and when you pick them up the turn back on. Could not be any happier with my purchase.
