    A bit on the expensive side, but real comfortable and easy to use, battery lasts long gaming sesions. No problems whatsoever after a 6 weeks.

    These headphones are great. They sound awesome and the microphone works well. I love wireless and they work well for most of the time. If you’re looking for perfect all the time, these aren’t it. Other people as well as I have had problems with charging them on the charge station. You have to set them down just right or they won’t charge. I also had to look up how to reset them because at one point they just refused to start charging the battery. Have had to reset them a good few times now regularly. There’s been a couple times that I had to unplug the cords connecting the base to my Xbox because the connection to the headset was cutting out and I couldn’t hear or use the microphone. Just seems like the product could use a little updating with whatever they come out with next. Hopefully will fix These problems.

    I was originally hesitant to buy a wireless headset. I was bogged down by fears of poor connectivity and latency issues. Alas, my worries were for not. I have been gaming very hard with these since my purchase and the battery life is astounding. I have only had them die on me once and that was 15+ hours into a gaming session. With the convenience of being able to plug in the headset and use them still, there was no lapse in play. The audio quality will knock your socks off; especially if you’re using some of the lower end headsets now. They are a little heavy. So, with long game sessions, you may experience some soreness where the headset rest on the top of your head. They noise-cancel pretty well and provide excellent ear comfort. I do wish there was a more convenient mute mechanism aside from the flip up the mic option. However, that has been far from a deal breaker. There is a pretty good level of customization with the equalization presets as well. Which gives you even more control over your gaming/audio experience. By and large, I am very impressed with the purchase and it is one of the best headsets I have had the pleasure of using.

    Headset feels very comfortable, but foam feels cheap at the same time. Surround sound is great, but voice chat mixes with it poorly. Bass not as strong as previous headset. Battery life is excellent. Range is a bit short. Overall, good headset, but not woth the $300 I paid.

    I was very impressed by how lightweight and comfortable the headset was. I’d rate the overall sound quality a solid 7/10. But the mic is absolutely awful. Everyone I played with was complaining about how bad I sounded when I spoke. For the money this headset costs, there should be no complaints. Ended up exchanging for a different brand.

    The headset is fairly comfortable and offer a good sound quality. However, the headphones when placed on the base have to be consistently jiggled to get the right connection. If you just place them down they won't charge if they didn't make the right connection. Overall I'm happy with this product so far but I have only had them for a month. I would add an extra star if there are no problems with them in a year.

    Astro is known for quality and these are no exception. Solid build, smooth sound and comfortable. My only issue is that for the price I wish the had chat back and it was 7.1. I switched from turtle beaches that had those features but they didn't stay connected as well with short disconnections and they would screech when using the cell phone on 5ghz.

    I have always Loved Astro Gaming Headphones. I have owned the Astro A40's Gen 1 & Astro A50's Gen 2. But i would have to say these are by far my favorites! I love the fact they are totally wireless! The battery life is great on them too! They sound amazing, and are very comfortable for hours upon hours of gaming.

    I had the Gen 2 Astro A50s and was experiencing problems with it (mainly battery life and it would be cutting off) so I took them to Best Buy (I had the Geek Squad Warrant) and was able to swap them for the gen 3. The Gen 3 has better battery life than the Gen 2 and has a new base station. I don't use the base station to charge the headphones because it's a bit too difficult to get the headphones seated perfectly for the base station to start charging them. I would highly recommend purchasing the leather ear cups that help isolate sound better (but they are less comfortable). My biggest con with these headphones are that if you want to switch between the PS4 and Xbox One you need to purchase a separate base for $99 (which seems like a huge cash grab). Sure $99 is cheaper than spending another $299 to use Astro A50s with the Xbox One but I feel that for $299 the base station should support both platforms without requiring you to need another base station. While these headphones are great for gaming (don't forget to check out the Astro Command Center Utility to change settings), I would not recommend them for movies/tv shows/ or music.

    Finally completely wireless A50s! The docking station is sleek. The headset feels comfortable. The sound is amazing. The reason for a 4 star was because I was hoping the aux port would be on the headset rather than the docking station. Other than that they are perfect

    Really like Astro A50 but few things that blow. The quality is great came from always using PlayStation headsets and turtle beach last set I had were the 800x which are the direct competition. The charging cradle kinda sucks it has to go in 100% perfect the turtle beach 800x you could throw them in and the would connect and charge. The included presets aren't bad but if you can figure out how to use the software or download other people profiles it will really bring the headset to life. The battery life is really good but this is the big issue I have and that's if you don't put your system to sleep it won't charge which is normal I understand that but the battery will start draining if its not charging even if the headset is switched to off. Now this issue is really bad but I 90% of the time have it on sleep so it's ok just sucks when I don't wanna put it on the charger I also bought the geek squad 2yr. So I've just been waiting till it got worst before swapping them out. Other than that it seems great so far I've had then for a little less than 6 months.

    Very Good Headset But...

    I purchased this Headset so I'm not disturbing the wife while she sleeps without any cords, I hooked up to my Xbox one, Turn on the Headset adjusted the Volume, Downloaded the TV apps, Even the Cable TV App and I can mute the TV Turn the Xbox One on and watch TV or play games, The only issue is that the batteries are non-event and when they don't hold a charge anymore then they are Useless, It's got Good Sound for TV and Gaming, It takes me about 3-4 hours for a Full Charge.

    I have owned this Headset for little over a month and I am satisfied across the board with the product. The battery life is long about 12-16 hours on a full charge. The sound is epic and very comfortable.. The headset is sturdy and feels durable. But buyer beware ASTRO customer service is AWFUL!!!!!!

    Pros Easy use Great sound Decent battery life Cons Sometimes loud or sudden sounds will crackle in the headset Charging base is difficult to seat the headset on properly to charge (a work sound is to just use a USB cable) The range of the headset is very short, 10 feet ish
