Customer Ratings & Reviews

This headset has had a ton of issues for me. As someone who uses it daily, I have noticed lots of bugs and strange design choices with the headset. Pros: First, Seamless switching between BOTH xbox and ps5, and pc as well. This was the first headset I’ve seen have this feature and it is very well done, switching with just the click of a button. As I have Xbox, Pc, and PS5, and switch between them often, this was the whole reason I bought the headset. Second, the headset is very comfortable, and has well done flip to mute. You can move the microphone completely up to the side of the headset to get it out of the way. Cons: First off, the bluetooth. Instead of being connected via the headset like most other headsets do it, the range is based off of the base station you charge the headphones on. This is a big problem for me, especially since it has very poor range, even having issues just a single room away. The range issue also affects the normal console/pc audio too, I’ve noticed, since my computer and the base station are in two different rooms. Secondly, there’s been an extremely irritating glitch that happens with the bluetooth when watching any media on your phone. Sometimes, for no reason at all, the audio on whatever video you start watching, (ex. TikTok) will just stop playing sound after a fee seconds, and you have to restart apps, or restart your headset to fix the audio. This happens all the time, every day for me. I’ve contacted support about it and they told me that they recreated the issue, but couldn’t do anything about it, so I wasn’t happy. I’ve exchanged the headset for a new one for both the range and the audio issues I just mentioned, and neither of them were fixed, so it seems like this is just how the headset is. Lastly, the headset I currently have I purchased April 03, 2024, and it just stopped letting me talk in xbox parties, ps5 parties or on pc in the xbox app today. The microphone still works via bluetooth, but it seems to be bugged to where it doesn’t work anymore for console/pc. Since I’ve only had this for a year, It’s very frustrating that it is having so many issues.

Really worth the price, sound system is perfect on this product and your ears dont get sweaty and it’s light weight!

Has the best sound quality and and comfort. The best feature is that you can sametanously you them with Xbox, PC, and PS5 from one click of a button

Amazing quality comfort sound connectivity is excellent battery charge time never go back to reggie

So, the first thing I did when I got the headset was hook it up to my phone (Bluetooth) which gaming. It is awesome I can answer phone calls and game at the same time. Out of the box you need to download custom or make your own EQ settings what is provided really sucks. They have made several improvements since the last generation (Gen 4) one of them is replaceable battery! Yes, you can replace the battery by getting a paperclip and push it in the hole where it removes the cover! I hated the fact that my last gen was a lot of work to replace the battery. Second is the software upgrade improvements! Much easier and probably not going to destroy your headset. You no longer use Astro Command Center instead use Logitech G Hub which I have not had any issues with. Range? It’s less than the Gen 4. It has a hard time penetrating walls which doesn't surprise me however the Gen 4 was better at it. Battery Life? Much better than last gen it will last 24hrs. Not sure what some reviewers saying it does not but mine does. Console use? No idea I don’t have an Xbox or PlayStation. Customization? Sometime overwhelmingly a lot of customization. I am glad they didn't put any LED lighting or anything like that since it would be annoying for me because of it messing with the battery life Value? Kinda sucks however it does justify the cost if you have two different platforms. Upgrade Worthy? If you already have a Astro Gen 4 I wouldn't upgrade unless your Gen 4's have broken. I swapped because my Astro Gen 4 were dead from a software update.

I have had well over a dozen headsets over the years. Different brands, different features, different types of microphones, etc. After every new "best wireless headset ever" came out, I would give a try to see if it could actually replace my wired setup. I love wireless headsets for the convenience and mobility, but could never truly commit due to the sound and mic quality never matching or exceeding my wired headphones and USB mic. Once you get used to crystal clear audio, it's hard to use some inferior just for some added convenience. However, this new A50 X headset has exceeded all of my expectations. Sound is punchy and clear with plenty of bass. They finally upped the bitrate of a wireless headset, and the difference in sound quality is definitely there. I have also always preferred flip to mute mics, instead of having to find a button or switch. The flip to mute in this model works perfectly. I was also blown away by the mic quality overall. My friends have commented that my voice always comes in loud and clear. The mic definitely sounds more like my standalone usb mic than a lower quality mic on a lesser headset. There's no crackle or fuzziness, my voice doesn't sound far away. It's just clear with enough bass to sound realistic while chatting with friends.

If you been looking for the best gaming headset on the market like me you will not be disappointed they check all the boxes (keep in mind i have tested almost all headsets in the same price range) Looks - 10/10 Comfort - 10/10 Sound Quality - 9.5/10 Mic -10/10

Very convenient and great headset. Although I don't own any consoles, I use it to seamlessly listen to audio on my phone and my computer at the same time. Battery is great. I never have to worry about battery life as I just re-dock it to charge whenever I'm done using. The way the microphone mutes when it's not extended is also a very handy and convenient feature. The actual audio quality however, I was expecting to be better at the price tag. It's still solid but could be better for sure. If you get this headset, you're mainly paying for convenience.

Great sound. Good quality headset , definitely recommend buying this!

A50 non-X Gen5 is finally dethroned my Maxwell. it has a much better directional sounds for my old ears. 50s COD gamer and still pwning kids with this amazing headsets

It is an excellent product, very easy and intuitive to use if it is your first headphones from the brand, The material they are made of looks and feels very durable and quality, they are comfortable even if you have them on for many hours, for the price they have It is worth it if you have them as a purchase option, I totally recommend them

The ear pieces fell like pillows and the sound is awesome

The best headset. Easy to use. Best quality. Greatfull sound

Already had the A50’s always felt like they just needed a little more punch and louder sound and these did not disappoint. Easily the best gaming headphones right now. And trust ive tried hyper x, corsair, steel series, turtle beach. Only 2 that compare are nova pro and stealth pro.

So I gave this 2 stars. Let me start by saying this. I gave it 2 because of one flaw. While using it; the sound crackles occasionally. I did some digging online and found this was a common complaint. IF this did not have the crackling I would have kept it because the build quality and weight are insane. The other major flaw is the price for the GSP plan. 139 dollars is a little bit much for a 379 dollar headset.

A50 X are simply perfect, I love the digital sound, every detail is worth it, I recommend it so they don't tell you, buy it, you won't regret it.

These things have been phenomenal. With that said, I would watch videos on how to do setup. Its far easier going that way.

The best headset that you can buy. It is worth every penny

I’ve had mine for 6 months and they sound great. But I’m running into the problem of having to reset them constantly. Sometimes I have to unplug the hdmi cord or quite literally unplug the whole stand. It’s beginning to feel more like a nuissance considering how much I paid for them.

I accidentally dropped this headset down my stairs and didn’t even scratch one bit. I love how advanced they are!
