Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second purchase of Astro A50's. The new A50's are even better sound quality than the previous model and with having no wire connection it makes them even more comfortable. Each of us had dropped our controller and without the wire you don't have to worry about it pulling your headset or damaging the mic connection. The ability to modify the sound is also a plus with the A50's. On a side note Astro has excellent customer service when you have any issues with your headset.

They are great headphones, a little pricy but worth it. The sound quality is great and customizable, not to mention how comfortable they are. They have great battery life and charging time to usage time ratio.

This is solid gaming head set. The build of the headset is solid rubber/plastic feels like it could take quite a few in packs before breaking if your not carful with headsets. This defiantly feels like a pro headset. Charging station is a little disupointing though. A little hard to line up the headset so if you just place them really quick you might miss the Metal prongs and not charge the headset. A wall cord would fix this. I have had turtle beach for years and after my TB800s broke out of manufacture warranty are used best buys warrranty to replace them with the A50. Mic works great but does not work in Destiny 1&2 you would need to start a party to fix this problem. Works is all other games.

The build quality is great feels good,it’s comfortable. But I’m not sure if the price tag justifies for this item in my opinion you can get a decent headset for half the price. Or maybe I have not use the headset to its full potential. As in I don’t use it on pc I just use it on the Xbox. The bass is not as good as your turtle beach but again on the Xbox I haven’t figured out how to tune the bass or any of the adjustable features

This is the upgrade to the original a50's and believe it's 100% were buying. The base station is great as a place to charge your headset and to keep up with how much charge you have left. The coolest thing about this headset is that if you set it down it will turn itself off, which is awesome. And you don't have to worry about leaving your headset on accidentally. The sound is still great, the ability to mute it still just pushing up the microphone, and they're extremely comfortable.

So I’ve bought quite a few pairs of gaming headsets over time and I gotta say I’m amazed !!! This headset is perfect from comfort to the looks to the amazing sounds quality and on top of that a base station that’s charges and show cases your headset !!!! The Dolby works amazing honestly people complain about the $300 price tag but you get every dollar you pay for it . My recommendation go ahead and buy one too see for yourself you will not be disappointed !!!!

I have the Logitech G933, tried the ASTRO A50 and also have the Razer Man O War 7.1. Of the 3 the G933 has the best sound. The A50 has the largest sound space and the Razer is the most comfortable especially if you buy the optional oval ear cups. I found the A50 hard to use because the game sound and voice sound can be separately controlled and no matter how much I fiddled with the controls, I couldn't get a happy medium. They also were not as comfortable as the Razer but better than the Logitech which feels like vice grips on your head. Razer is the way to go.

I have had these headsets for 6 months, so I have them for a little while. These headsets have a really amazing sound quality especially with the dolby 7.1 turned on. You will have to adjust the mic and headset setting through the app as well as updates them all through your computer. these are a big headset and they fit a little loose even on my head and it's fairly large. I wish they would create an app for Xbox so that updates and headset adjustments can be done through the game system but it'll work fine the way it is. Initially I had connectivity issues but I fixed it by adjusting my dual band wireless internet router which was interfering with it. You will have to adjust the channels in the setting of your dual band router if you have one, because this headset runs off a 5ghz frequency. I ordered the premium noise cancelation upgrade that are sold separately and the headset does cause the ears to get warm with them. I do wish that they included these with the headset though because you're already spending $300 and they were another $50. All in all I'm a satisfied with them though.

I loved how comfortable these were, and the surround sound was great, when I wasn't getting static. I also had issues with the batteries only lasting around 3 hours. The microphone was not the best. I was told in chat I sounded robotic, and it produced a lot of echo. I tried updating them and did not have any luck so I returned them. Everyone I know with the a40 and a50 constantly cause issues with echo in chat. I tried for a week to find a reason to keep them, but in the end I went back to my Arctis 3 headset and I did not have any more mic issues.

I was originally going to buy the A40 headphones, but saw these so I took a chance. So far they work great, and I don't regret the purchase. Pros: Excellent sound, Long Battery Life, Easy setup, No Charging cable, and Decent Mic Cons: Expensive, very expensive. When putting the headphones on the charging base, it can be a bit finicky getting it to sit properly so it will charge. Overall good headphones, if you can swing the price.

I’ve had this headset for roughly a month now and I can definitely say it was worth every penny. Being a previous Astro A40 wired user I realized I was missing out on the convenience of the wireless ability. Once I purchased them, I was quite surprised by how long the first charges seem to be as I was not able to use them right away. Not really a big deal, just thrilled to use them quickly out of the box. I purchased these primarily for Xbox one x and first game I tried them with was time raider. They sound so great out of the box with Dolby atoms. It felt like the game was in the living room itself. So many details heard throughout the game and for shooters it sounded so lifelike. The charging base is pretty straight forward, but be cautious because it could take some getting used to, placing them on there. The microphone does very well and no one seems to complain about how they hear me. My only complaint by far is that I have occasionally experienced the headset playing sound but the microphone not working because the headset fails to assign itself to your Xbox profile. However, that can be simply fixed by putting headset in charge position and restarting. I can’t wait to customize some listening profiles within my pc because I feel like in some games, mainly apex legends, I struggle with balance with game chart and game audio. That being said this headset has been a great purchase and extremely convenient for my lifestyle.

Yes this headset is expensive (although down to $240) right now. It is literally the best headset I've ever used. Comfort is great. Sound really great. Just a solid piece of technology.

These are a must have if you love gaming online. They are super comfortable, lightweight, and have amazing sound quality. My friends say I’ve never sounded better. You have to have these!

Just got these in today. Took 2 days to arrive. The shipping was fast. The construction was fabulous. Light weight easy to setup. Only take 3 steps to hook up to your xbox one. Very comfortable to wear. At the time of purchase I decided not to buy the mid kit. The stock ear muffin are very comfortable and you can get air through for ventilation. Sound quality is awesome. I did buy the mod kit late and wow what a difference. For 40nbucks more not a bad deal.

I hummed and hawed for a while after reading many somewhat conflicting reviews when these were first released, as $300 is a pretty penny for headphones. I will say I'm not disappointed with my purchase at all. Sound is amazing. The surround sound actually works and many other reviews have commented on the quality of the sound and they're right. The Command Center allows for total customization and the build quality of the set is second to none. I mostly play solo, so the mic wasn't a huge go/no go point for me. However, I will say that the times I've used the mic, I've had to pretty much swallow the thing for the people on the other side to be able to hear me with enough volume and to not sound like I'm in a bath tub. This is my first Astro set, and everything I've read leads me to believe that Astro can, and will, provide an update at some future date to address the mic issue. The range is also so-so. I like to sit right up on the TV when gaming but when I do move away from the base station, the sound goes in and out at about 15' and then totally drops at about 25'. At distance, the connection seems to "stabilize" if you stop moving around in my experience. If you have the $$ to drop on these, you'd be remiss to not at least give them a try and see for yourself.

I was a little worried spending this amount on headphones, but these Astro A50's deliver. They are extremely comfortable after long periods of gaming. The sound is awesome and the setup is simple. I love not having any wires to deal with on the headset itself. The charging cradle works well too. I came from the Turtlebeach Titanfall headset and I am blown away as to how much better these are. I would recommend these to all my gaming buddies.

I was looking for a headset comfortable with good sound and microphone. I got my money worth with this headset, the base is tricky to set correctly for charging the headset but it dose a great job when is on. I like the lights displaying the amount of charge the headsets have even when at use. Wish the Bluetooth connected a phone at the same time as when gaming so you know when you are getting a call and able to answer.

I was looking for a wireless headset that did not require plugging into anything to charge and there's surprisingly little choice in this department. That being said this headset has been amazing. Starting with the base it is flat meaning it does not obstruct view behind it (i have a monitor there) and magnetically catches the headset. Makes it very easy to just plop the headset on when done with it and let it charge and just pick up when needed again. I wish more wireless headsets implemented a design like this as it has been one of the highlights of using this headset. The sound is excellent. Having the 2 separate channels (voice and game) is awesome and the surround sound sounds better than any previous headset I've owned with this feature. The voice channel also makes for crisp and clear voice when playing with friends or voice chatting with family while still letting me hear the game without it being overpowering (volume slider for balance between the channels is spot on). The microphone is great as well. 99% of the time I use the Night/Warm settings and people can hear me loudly and clearly without too much of my background noise getting through. The one con about this headset would be it's price. I did get it on sale which was totally worth it to me however there are a number of other headsets out there which can be comparable in sound/microphone for significantly less. That being said the stand and wireless charging is a hard feature to find in the headset space so if those are features you're looking for this is one of the only headsets you have as options.

I bought the Astro A50s as a replacement for my Turtle Beach Stealth 600s for my Xbox One X. Despite being extra careful about the care of my headset both pairs of Turtle Beaches I have owned have cracked. I needed a great sounding headset with the build quality to match. After days of research I decided to get the A50s. I was not disappointed! The built quality is amazing. The headband is sturdy and has a nice feel to it. The part for adjusting the headset is a nice metal and despite the headset being heavier that others that I have owned, it is super comfy and the padding on the ear cups itself are light and feel good. As far as connectivity goes it was really easy to set up. Set the switch on the dock station to Xbox, plug the optic cable to the back of the Xbox, then to the dock station and plug the USB cable to the Xbox. I have always thought Turtle Beaches have had amazing sound quality but these put them to shame. Even the presets out the box sound amazing not to mention you can fully customize each eq and save custom ones using the Astro Audio Hub on your computer. The Surround Sound is amazing. I can hear every faint noise in the background and even tell which direction it is coming from. Full disclosure I do have Dolby Atmos and the A50s are fully supported by Dolby Atmos. If you can, definitely upgrade. You will be blow away. All in all I am amazed by this headset and will never look back.

I am really, really enjoying this headset. The fit, the comfort, the battery life are all as advertised and better. It is taking some getting used to the controls on the right ear cover, but it is not too difficult. Next I will be learning how to use the app on my computer to fine tune the preset sounds. Highly recommend this unit to those who can afford it....and also to those who cannot....
