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. While some found the fit comfortable, others commented on the headset's weight.

    Great sound love how u can choose '7.1' or just normal but the mic would be a lot better if it was just a button to push if I wanted to mute the mic. The mic itself feels like a cheap plastic rubber and it sits in either the muted or unmuted position.

    Had the Turtle Beach Elite 800 and it was terrible, switched to these for gaming and they are much better. LIghter, feel better built and sound great and the mic is clear. Also use for late night tv watching with a baby and they are awesome.

    I owned an old pair of A50's and decided to buy some new ones as the battery life was not the best anymore. The new ones are so much better. Battery lasts so much longer. Sound quality is great. Use these for late night gaming and movie watching.

    The Astro A50 headset is, hands down, the best headset on the market if you are able to afford the $299.99 price tag plus tax. If you are unable to afford this headset, the only other headset I would recommend is the Hyper X Cloud Alpha's.

    I bought these thinking they would be better because they cost so much more than my turtle beach ones. I was wrong! the sound on my end was good but the mic sound was horrible when playing with others. I was really disappointed in them for the price.

    This was a joint purchase with our son for Christmas. He loves them. He also loved that I ordered and was able to just pick them up rather than have them shipped from another company that he was looking at purchasing them from.

    love the texture they went with. has amazing sound for cinematic and online gaming (you can actually tell if someone is walking next to you or behind you) gave 4 stars because it scrabbles from time to time but not much, as if their was interference.

    They work very well. Easily mute which is a plus. Wireless is also very nice don't have to worry about plugging into the controller. Like the docking station with additional USB slot as to not just hog the slot you still have 2 available slots for usage.

    This is the best pair of gaming headphones I have gotten ever. The sound quality is next level. The only problem I have with them sometimes connecting them to my Xbox but I’ve found the tricks to make it work easy now

    I bought the Astro’s for Black Friday and I couldn’t be happier with the product. I can clearly and distinctly hear all of my surroundings including enemy footsteps. I highly recommend picking one up if you are looking for a gaming headset

    How do they compare to other high end headsets?

    Pretty close, yet easily recognizable they are definitely made for gaming. When comparing to my Bose QC 35 or Beats Studio 2.0 these come in pretty close in terms of sound quality when listening to music. The biggest difference being the base is over-amplified out of the box but easy to dial down through their "Astro Command Center" App. available for both windows and mac. The different settings with a physical switch button allow for easy quick changes in sound preferences. So if you want to hear louder footsteps when playing call of duty you can have that as a setting; but if you change games and would rather hear clean mids from the sound of a car engine that can also be a setting. When compared to the Turtle Beach these definitely have an upper hand in sound quality and mic levels. I would honestly say spend the extra $ if you can and get these.

    Good sound is there no Bluetooth? It tends to lose connection to the base a lot and I have to reset the headset not the best one I’ve paid 300$ for

    Good but not very noise cancelling, very underwhelming. They don't get as loud as I would like them to. Sound is good and setting them up was easy. Battery life is good.

    Previous owner of multiple turtle beach headsets and each one always broke or sound ended up fading. I’ve had the Astro headset for about a year and still like new. I would definitely recommend if looking for a new headset.
