Excellent, I love them and they are very comfortable

Easily the best headset I’ve purchased. Connects seamlessly with PC and Xbox. The charging stand makes it top tier as you’re headset will always be charged when your ready to use and looks great on your desk. OVERALL - 10/10

The headset is fantastic! I have had no problems with the headset the entire time I've had it. It is seamless connection and while i am waiting for a new match or just in the lobby it bluetooth connects to my phone while in playing games

Great in comfort, sound, and convenience! Only thing that is noticeably better on A50x is the chat mix feature available for console (not available on the A50 gen 5 with console).

The best headphones I have ever used!!! I had gen 1 a50s and I had them for like 10 years and switched to these after they broke and I absolutely love them!

These work very well. My boyfriend plays Xbox a lot and it plays the noise from the tv in his headphones and connects his phone too so he can be on a call when he is playing COD. Which is very cool in my opinion especially when I have homework to do and a four month old who is sleeping.

I really enjoy the long lasting battery life. The earmuff padding is soft but as why any headset after a few hours it becomes a bit uncomfortable, specially if you wear glasses.

Great sound quality, awesome noise cancelling, and the mic is extremely loud and clear for others.

Easy to connect Easy to set up Great sound quality 100% recommended

Best headset on the market for gaming have had the gen 3,4 and now 5 and they have all been great

Amazing! I play F1 and the crisp detail of the audio makes you feel like you are in the game.

The Astro A50 Wireless Headset is a State of the Art Gaming Machine!

Good headset met all my requirements for the price.

Bought for gaming purposes, clearly, and they did not disappoint! Easy to set up and comfortable. Very easy switching the use from my PC to Xbox.

Works great, it came with Dolby atmos so it feels like a premium experience

Great Purchase, more geared towards first person shooter games.

Solid headset, great functionality, and easy to setup.

What the A50s Get Really Right 1. Sound Quality & Spatial Audio These deliver excellent audio fidelity—crisp highs, clean mids, and bass that’s satisfying without muddying everything. The built-in Dolby Atmos support is a major plus: it gives immersive spatial directionality that’s hard to match in many gaming headsets. If set up right, Atmos adds a lot of depth. 2. Hardware Build & Comfort The materials, finish, ear-cups, etc., are solid. They feel premium. The wireless base station and built-in charging are nice touches. For many, the comfort is good for long sessions (though this can vary depending on head size/shape). 3. Versatility The A50s pair with a lot of platforms (PC, consoles, etc.), support game/chat balance, have optical input, etc. So they’re not just “console headsets” but more general-purpose. 4. Battery & Connectivity The wireless link + base station works well; range is good. Battery life is decent for typical gaming usage. --- Where Things Fall Short (Software & Other Issues) Since you already mentioned the command center being “dog water,” here are the commonly reported pitfalls and how big a deal I think they are. Issue What People are Saying / Experiencing Severity / How It Affects Use Astro Command Center Bugs / Stability Folks report frequent glitches: failure to recognize the headset/base station properly, firmware updates getting stuck or failing, mismatched synchronization between headset & base station, etc. High. These issues hurt almost everything the “software side” of the headset is supposed to provide (EQ, updates, modes). Makes the headset feel under-cooked. Firmware / Update Clunkiness Hard resets are needed somewhat often. Sometimes the update process fails, or the device gets into a “flaky” state (e.g. LEDs pulsing, headset not recognized) which requires digging to fix. Medium to high, depending on tolerance. If you're okay with tinkering, it's manageable; for plug-and-play people, annoying. Software UI / Usability The UI for Astro Command Center is reported to be “barely serviceable,” with unintuitive controls, slow response, sometimes lackluster effect from EQs or from toggling features. Many people prefer external tools or using Dolby Atoms / other software instead. Moderate. Once you settle on an EQ or configuration you like, maybe it’s “set and forget,” but tweaking is unpleasant. Comfort / Ergonomics in Some Cases Some users complain about clamp force, weight, especially during longer sessions; also that breaking in the headset (mechanically) is hard since it's charged on the base which presses the cups together. Varies widely depending on your head. Could be minor, but for long hours it matters.

Pros: Clear audio Light weight Great bass and treb Fantastic mic clear and precise Easy to use features and settings in G Hub No Clamping Works well while wearing glasses (I have very thing frames though) Holds a charge for a full day (roughly 12-14 hours constant on time) Magnetic earpads makes cleaning/replacing them super easy and quick. Cons: Build materials do feel a little flimsy and I worry about how they would hold up should I accidentally drop them... No other cons I can think of though. I bought this to replace a failing/old Corsair HS80 that was causing me grief with DaVinci Resolve and creating 8 mic inputs for voice recording and none of them worked at all... go figure. Anyway, the A50's are lighter weight, don't move around on your head at all and don't clamp either. I also have all Logitech peripherals, Keyboard, Mouse, and now Headset so I only need to run the Logitech G Hub to control everything now which is more ideal. The A50's have specific controls for mic input presets, I would recommend using the "Broadcast" curated preset as it, at least for me, provided the clearest voice output I could find. They also have within the G Hub the ability to alter on the fly streaming volume controls similar to a sound board/stand alone audio mixer board which is fantastic and easy to use, works well with StreamLabs OBS and DaVinci Resolve for quick on the fly adjustments. The community created audio EQ presets for the headphones are great so far the best preset I have found is labeled "GOATED MUSIC PRESET" created by Seiway (not me btw, though I did adjust the 500 and 1k hz sliders to be positive .5dB) and weirdly enough works amazing for gaming especially Escape From Tarkov and Warzone, making footsteps and other necessary to hear noises easy to pick out quickly.
