Customers regard the A50 Wireless Headset's sound quality, comfort, and battery life as its strongest features, with many praising the immersive audio experience and long-lasting power. However, some users experienced connection issues and noted the relatively high price point. The wireless functionality was also a plus for many, although a few mentioned limitations in range.

    Had the previous A50 headset and until I had an issue with the sound cutting in and out I loved them. But unfortunately I returned them and ordered these instead. So glad I bought the Geek Squad warranty! This new updated A59 has better sound, mic, charging stand and are more comfortable. I really love these.

    The sound quality is great!! I am using them with an Xbox One and from time to time I have to disconnect the optical cable and power and reconnect them, but updating the headset via PC has helped with these issues so I would anticipate Astro to continue to improve the connectivity to the Xbox.

    I use these to play my PS4 Pro and they work great with my games and chat sessions with my friends. The flip up boom to mute is really nice and a great feature. The sound quality is awesome and I love watching my shows wearing the headset. It's nice and comfortable on my head and doesn't hurt my ears.

    but mic was intermittent in the main games I play.. plus , sometimes you had to play with the headset to get it to charge.. .just got tired of it. I have the first two gens of the a50 and they work better than this one..was thinking it had improved but it took a step back I think.. .the headphones sound awesome though just like the first two gens.

    I haven't had anyone say that I sound horrible. So I think they may have fixed the mic problem. The surround sound on these along with the bass is superb. They do seem to have an issue disconnecting from the base when in sleep mode. They are able to easily last a full nights worth of pub stomping

    Will not connect to base after 2 months of owning. I thought that spending $322.49 on a premium headset would be a good investment....wrong... Astros have severe connection issues, no or little customer support, and you cannot return these headsets. The headsets sound great when they work, but would constantly get disconnected until finally one day they decided to never to connect again. Tried to root cause/troubleshoot myself, and you cannot find anything easily online for troubleshooting these headsets. They don't come with a manual, only a quick start guide. When you contact the customer service they speak to you like you are ignorant and don't know what you are talking about. Awful experience for the money, and I strongly recommend you get another type of headset.

    Good quality headset and quite comfortable. The dock and power makes for a lot of wires and clutter. Be aware, this headset does not support XBOX’s wireless protocol. At $300, it’s not an easy sell.

    These are the best solution for the Xbox One and PC. The sound is still amazing, a bit cleaner and sharp. The total wireless solution without chat wire and charging dock make these really convenient. The best is the motion sensor it has as the headset turn off when you lay it down to save battery.

    My son is a wanna be big time gamer so he had to have these headphones. He's pretty rough on stuff and these have withstood a lot of reckless usage. He loves them and think they work great. We did buy the warranty because they are always worth it at Best Buy.

    Can't beat the cordless of this item. Mobility to move around while playing a game without concern of pulling the cord and dropping the gaming system. The microphone is high quality and people can hear me clearly. The surround sounds elements raise the level of all video games I play.

    I purchased these after my A50 gen1 mic died. Love the sound quality but as stated before the mic seems cheap compared to everything else about this headset. Tried a few other headsets but returned them all and came back to the A50s. The fact that they are totally wireless is great!
