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.

    By far Astro are some of the best sounding headsets I’ve ever owned only downside it the price also the charging dock gets a little annoying from time to time I’d go for the a40tr hands down

    It's a lot like the older A50's in terms of pure driver capabilities. These are a lot more customizable sound wise but there are issues with wireless chat. Backwards compatible games on an xbox one will not let you use in game chat anymore. Everything else, works fine.

    Everything about the headphones is great. Except one issue, the surround sound in-game sounds very hollow and metallic. I don't hear this problem when the headphones are in stereo mode. This could be a problem Astro needs to fix or a problem Dolby Digital needs to fix.

    Bought these to replace my Turtle Beach DXII’s that eventually broke after many years. Bought the TB Stealth 700 and didn’t like the comfort and fixed mic boom. Purchased these on sale and they are well worth it. Look, feel and sound awesome.

    When these work right, they have great sound. Unfortunately, if you live in a apartment complex or any other place with lots of Wifi interference...they suck.

    I was told by old gaming friends that this was the ticket. Only complaint I've heard is that you can hear yourself as you talk though the speakers. I believe you can use software to turn that down. *Never used headset myself so 4 star*

    The sound is good. Not as light as I would like. A little tight on the head. Needs to be a little bit more adjustable. The after market mod kit should come standard at this price

    Astro has done a great job of updating the A50 line. The new version has a charging dock integrated into the base station; it's an elegant solution that works well. Support for the Xbox has also been improved and no longer requires an additional adapter. Awesome!

    Works well with Mac, Windows and Xbox. It has it's fair share of issue though, most of them being software / support related. All-in-all a quality headset with some great features, but for $300 I would expect a LOT more.

    Only complaint is the mix between game audio and chat doesn’t really do much until the last setting and it just shuts off one of the two channels. Other than that nothing to complain about.

    Very happy with my purchase and would recommend this product. The quality is great and I he sound quality is awesome. The price of the product is very comparable to other places but the finance you offer in purchases makes it possible to manage

    I would bump up the score if my set worked properly. Has a problem with all audio cutting out unless I have them plugged in. Everything else about this headset is nice, though.

    I previously had the 2014 edition of the Astro A50's and loved them but the internal batteries in those were only lasting four hours at the most. Good thing because I bought the two year warranty on them just like I did with these. Well worth the price.

    I wouldn't buy this because I had problems with the connection/power. I had it for 3 weeks or so and started having problems. It wouldn't turn on. So I thought it was dead battery, so I charged it and it still wouldn't turn on. I was frustrated and had to search on youtube for the answer. I had to reset the headset. It worked for a week and it happened again. To think I paid $300+ that it would just work, but nope. I returned it and got the a40 + mixamp instead. I recommend getting the 2 yr warranty because of stuff like this.

    I use these every day and they hold up well to each game. Dolby can be toggled on/off if desired and the volume has many different presets to download and choose from, as well as mixing your custom preferences. Great high-end product!

    I love this head set. Now its expensive but its shows in construction of this device. I like that it's made of metal and not plastic. It will hold up better then other cheaper headsets I've own. A great headset for gaming.

    This is a great headset my only problem with them is battery life is about 5 hours so when I play on my day off I have to remember to put them on the charger when taking a break but most days that time is sufficient

    I used to use tritton's and turtle beaches until the original Astro A50 came out. It was the best gaming headset I have ever used and the next gen A50 are amazing. I love how they're actually Completely wireless and customizable on the studio.
