    Used to have a pair of A40s and they broke so it was time for an upgrade! The new a50s while more expensive offer a complete wireless solution. Once you plug the USB into and Xbox or PC itS for the most part plug and play. THIS IS GREAT! No more cables from the controller and all setting on the right ear cup. They have good sound that you can adjust via a PC or Mac app as well as some ok presets. If you've got the cash it's worth it!

    It’s a good headset for sure. They sound amazing . But I have been having some issues with the lightning bolt blinking red or staying red, and I have done a reset multiple times with no solution. I thought sometimes it just doesn’t want to connect to the console. Unfortunately I am not in the time period to return the headset, anymore. So I really don’t know what to do anymore

    I was looking for a high end headset for my PS4 and all my research brought me to the A50s. I really did prefer a wireless headset, so I decided to try it out. Sound quality is amazing - and the Astro Command Center was easy to update sound parameters to tailor for specific types of games. My issue was with random drop outs of the headset. I thought I may be doing something wrong when I lose sound for anywhere from 1-10 seconds, so I did some research. If you're running a 5ghz WiFi band in your house, I'd steer clear. The Astro A50s operate at the higher 5ghz Wireless Channels, and with Google WiFi, there's no way on either device to dedicate those channels, so the constant interference just ruined the experience. If you don't have WiFi in your house..hey...these will be perfect for you...but that might be like..one person... It's 2019.. let's be serious.

    I purchased this for my son to use on his XB1S. I already own an older set of A50s and these are an improved version. They are also slightly heavier than the previous version. The only thing I don't like about this generation of Astros A50s, is that they are not designed to be cross platform. My previous version works for the XBox 360, XB1, PS3, PS4, and of course PC. What's nice about these are they are completely wireless for the XB1, so no chat cable is required. They do work on my PS4 in PC mode, but there's some sidetone that can be heard. Overall, they work as they should.

    I’ve had constant issues with this headset since day one for connecting it with the Xbox. Every time I start up my console, I have to flip the Astro Gaming switch to off and then back on. It’s a nuisance and even after updates it was never fixed. Other than that, great sound and great to have zero wires... just needs work.

    I bought these because I really like the 15 hours plus battery life. The first pair I had thecleft ear cup didn't work so I exchanged them the second one the mic didn't work so I tried one last time and the headset worked flawlessly until I put it in its dock for the life of me I couldn't get it to charge. My brother has a pair that everything thing works flawlessly and it's probably one of the best headsets out there when it works

    I'm on my 2nd pair now. I might return these ones because they lose connection and I sit 5-6 feet away with Line of sight. They lose charge if they are turned off and not on th charger. You're mic sounds like your in water I've been told a few times. I don't recommend these till Astro updates them. As far as comfort goes they are good in that aspect.

    This is second set of A50 Astro headsets. Last set wore out after 6 years. These are very nice and love the docking charge instead of the old cable charger. Would recommend.

    The priciest headset in Astro Gamings repertoire is definitely worth it. If you are looking for crystal clear communication and amazing surround sound placement this is the headset. Especially helpful for games such as PUBG where hearing footsteps is the difference between life and death. Currently own 2 of them so that tells you how biased I am, another site that displays how good they are is RTINGS.com.

    Great Headset - Poor Mic

    I absolutely love this product. This is worlds ahead of the headphones i was using for gaming previously. The only draw back is the built in microphone and the dolby digital surround. The Dolby gives a hollow echo when listening to other players (I just turn that feature off) but the microphone is truely lacking. This is easily fixable with an extra mic, but i would expect a $300 device to put a little effort into this area.
