Customer Ratings & Reviews

This headset was worth every penny! My husband loves it. He loves the quality of sound and that it is wireless!

For $300 sound quality are the same as my 2 years old $100 audio technica. Wireless was convenient, but had some problem when playing certain pc game make it very lag.

Works great out the box but then I learned of different modifications you can make to adjust the sound effects. Downloaded some already made online and they totally changed the Dynamics of the sound in the games I play.

Product works as expected and produces great sound and wireless freedom. Can tether product to charge and use simultaneously.

I have A40’s and I got these as a gift. I liked these headphones. The sound was almost as good as the A40s but really good for wireless. I liked having all the controls on the earpieces and features on the headset. One day I set these on the dock and went to grab then a little bit later and the battery was completely depleted. I read this is a known issue but Astro hasn’t really fixed this. I returned this bc I was afraid the battery had gotten damaged.

Overpriced. If you have to have Astro go with the newer model. I have newer model as well when I returned these bc they kept getting disconnected. If you don't mind wired the Rig400 that is on sale right now for $20 are just as good as these. I own both and only use the wireless when I'm sitting on my couch watching TV...

I bought this a month ago and couldn't be happier. I've owned 3 different Turtle Beach Headsets (Stealth 500X, Elite 800X, and the Stealth 700's) and 2 of the 3 broke, where the earpiece connects to the headband due to cheap plastic. The Astro A50's use a aluminum alloy instead of cheap plastic which is much stronger and the A50's aren't as tight on your head. However, the only advantage the Elite 800's have is deeper bass. But I much rather have a more sturdy headset than deeper bass...

This is a top notch headset, the only problem I've ever had was the wireless 5Ghz frequency from my router messing with my headset. Once I turned off the 5Ghz frequency off my router most of the problem went away.

This is an amazing headset. Completely wireless and sounds superb. A lot of customization available through the software as well.

Operates as expected/Advertised! Battery really lasts Sound/Dolby is true. (Gaming and Movies)

1. I like the packaging! very nice box! 2. very lightweight! 3. these are very comfortable on the ears 4. don't like that I have to buy a "mod" kit for $$300 headphones that's just shady the stock ear covers are great though... 5. magnetic base is good 6. no problems with setup 7. the optical cable and USB cable are way too short 8. originally bought the turtle beach 800 elite. but returned it bc it was rather inconvenience to wear when reclining and gaming... these a50 do not give me that problem 9. sound is a good for the simulated 7.1 setup.. I could pick out footsteps from different ears bass is good.. 10... buy the protection plan... all I've read astro service can be not what you want it to be., I'd rather just deal with best buy return dept... 11. Happy with my purchase

It's a super solid Headphone that can use 7.1 surround sound or USB to connect to PC or Xbox. But, there are a few bugs. One time it wasn't able to turn off and you just have to let it die out or connect a micro USB and keep trying to power it off. Another thing is making sure it has a different frequency then a modem near it. It bugged out for days until I realized my modem was set to auto channel which was messing with the frequency. I changed my modem to a set channel and it hasnt bugged out since.

Greatest gaming headset I’ve ever used. This is not a cheap headset, and it shows. You definitely get what you pay for. Great that his one headset works with PS4, Xbox One, And PC. (You need to buy the base station for the other system for $100.) Would definitely buy again. I can definitely notice a difference from the PS Gold and My Halo 5 A40. Fantastic Product. If these are out of your Price Range The PS Gold is Amazing. I still use mine, also the A40 for the Xbox one is great too.

Great headset i love everything about it very comfortable light weight best investment in headset i have ever done

I bought these a while ago after owning three different turtle beach headsets. I tried the Astros a40, Hyper cloud 2, hyper cloud revolver, Corsair void pro, and a couple of others and have to admit that these are by far the best. The bass on this headset is pretty darn impressive and the ability to modify your prefrences in the included software makes them the best I have heard. I still did not try the new sennhesier, so those might be a bit better. I will have to check about that though.

Pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for. Comfortable, and high quality sound

Super comfortable. Great sound. Only problem I’ve had is it’s a little hard to get it just right on the charging base.

High quality headset with a long lasting battery and it also won’t hurt your ears after long gaming sessions.

Best headsets for xbox one with microphone .loud ,tv qauility sound and loud microphone for chat . lasts long can charge over night

Almost Perfect, Overpriced, intermittent issues, when it works its great.. Returning it...
