    Decided to stick with my A40’s. These sound good, but were lacking in directional sound. I used Dolby Atmos when comparing both the A40 and A50X, and with the A50X’s it was more difficult to hear the location of enemy footsteps in FPS. In general, it sounded more like stereo vs surround sound. I had hope in the HDMI base, but sadly these are still not $400 sound quality.

    I think the sound quality is great, connectivity to multiple devices is cool. I have tried contacting Logitech/Astro, OBS and Elgato to see why the audio isnt being passed thru. I can hear but the stream cant and apparently its be an on going issue. I paid too much for these headphones because my A40’s worked just fine, i just wanted wireless and now i cant stream…

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the Astro A50 X. We're glad to hear you appreciate the sound quality and multi-device connectivity. However, we're very sorry to hear about the significant issue you're facing with audio not being passed through for your streams, despite contacting multiple support teams. We understand your frustration, especially since your previous A40s worked for streaming, and that this is preventing you from using the A50 X as intended. Logitech

    I bought this headset new because I saw the reviews on the headset but to be honest is the worst headset I ever had. I been using Astro since I can remember but this headset gave me problems since day 1. The headset keeps losing connection and the sound quality sounds like it has too much static. I don't recommend this headset at all.

    Really nice headset with only a couple tiny issues

    These headphones are pretty nice. I have a few small complaints but as far as headphones go, they work great, sound great and do everything I need them to (and more in some cases). The setup process is as complicated as you'd like it to be. For the most part, it's fairly straight forward. On PC, you just plug in the USB cable into the charging dock and then plug one of the ends into the power adapter and the other end into your computer. End of setup. They'll get detected and be ready to use straight away (you might need to push the device switch button a couple times to turn it into PC mode). Connecting consoles is pretty straight forward as well. There's a spot on the charging dock for a PC, Xbox AND PS5. It's not a 1 or the other thing like literally every headset I've checked out before. You can connect all 3 and switch between them without an issue. It's quite nice a feature I didn't really expect to see but am really happy it's there. The fit is pretty nice as well.. for the most part. It's light enough that you don't really feel it on your head after a while. I immediately found the ear cups to be a bit small for me. They touch my ears right away and I kind of have to maneuver them to a spot that feels most comfortable. But once they're there, I don't really notice an issue with my ears hurting or anything. Just the initial shock of the cups kind of hugging your ears a little bit. I'm also not a HUGE fan of the astro/logitech material on their cups. I'm not sure how to describe it but I've felt the same thing on multiple logitech headsets. The ear cup fabric just feels a little rough on my head. Even though feeling them with my hands they feel smooth. I'm not sure what it is but it's been consistent. Luckily, these cups are very easily magnetized onto the headset so they're really easy to replace if you'd prefer a different feel. I'm looking into more pleather style cups. Those two issues aside, I'm happy with prolonged sessions. I don't feel any fatigue from the weight or pressure of the cups squeezing my head. It all feels great after hours of use. One of the headsets I was using before this one had a removable battery and the transmitter doubled as a charger for the battery so if your headset died, you could easily swap a new one really quick and get back to the action. It made thinking about charging anything an afterthought since a second battery was always being charged while the other one was being used. This headset doesn't have that, BUT they do boast a 24 hour battery life (which is far more than my other headset ever lasted before needing to be swapped) and since the transmitter dock is also a charger, I don't see battery issues really being a problem even without the hot swappable batteries. I haven't run into any myself yet, at least. Speaking of the charging dock transmitter. It's smaller than I expected after seeing it on the box. Not tiny but it doesn't take up a crazy amount of space on my desk. There's indicator lights for battery life and what mode is selected (pc, xbox, ps5) on the front. It all looks really nice actually. My only gripe with it is that the headset needs to be kind of moved around a bit when placing it on the dock to charge. It's not the end of the world but there is no way for it to just slide in without intervention. Again, it's a tiny issue that isn't a deal breaker at all but something I've noticed. How's this thing sound?! Pretty good to my ears. It gets plenty loud for me and the range feels good. It doesn't feel like it's overpowering or blasting my head off or anything which is nice in my elder millennial age. It just sounds good without much tweaking required. I've been using the headset microphone instead of my normal broadcast quality microphone and haven't heard a single complaints. The mic sounds fairly decent (for a headset mic). It's not going to replace my broadcast mic but it was nice to test it and find something that doesn't suck that's attached to my head. The only feature I feel is missing from a headset at this price range is noise canceling. There is none. It's almost like you're not wearing a headset at all if there's no sound coming out. It's very transparent. Signal quality has also been really nice. The "Lightspeed" protocol that's used has had zero issues. Most headsets that use a generic 2.4Ghz band dongle crackle on occasion because my place has a lot of 2.4Ghz interference. I haven't had a single drop or crackle or any audio issues what so ever with these. It's been impressive since I even see interference creep into bluetooth sometimes over here. The last issue I had with the headset was the lack of sidetone initially. I tend to find it weird when I'm speaking and I can't hear anything that I'm saying so I like to have some sidetone pretty much always. An update of the GHub app, I was able to check out the settings and sidetone is indeed available with adjustable volume. After setting it up, I didn't need GHub to be running all the time so that was definitely a plus. Overall, I'm really liking this headset. When I'm not streaming (and require a wired headset), I'll probably be using this one as my main. It's lack of interference, easy charging and ability to connect to multiple devices make it a real contender for best gaming headset I've used. Noise canceling and a hot swappable battery would have been nice but everything else works so well that I don't tend to miss them too much. If you have the budget and are looking for something that's good for gaming on multiple systems and has a microphone that doesn't totally suck, this one might be for you.
