Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have used Astro A50s for a while. This latest pair that I have bought have so far been the best gaming headphones I have used. I get absolutely no ear fatigue while wearing them for those longer gaming sessions, with also the battery life being able to handle hours of late nights making memories. It is bit pricey overall, but in the long run very well worth the price for comfort and battery. Sound is another thing just blows these out of the water, being able to hear everything that is going on in the game, makes you feel even more immersed in what you are doing

This is the last headset anyone would ever need. It switches between my PS5, PC, Xbox, Phone & Nintendo Switch with absolute ease. The battery life is as advertised, my parties say the microphone quality is top tier & I use it for everything now even phone calls. 100% recommend.

I’ve always used ASTROS, when my old pair wore out after years and years of owning them I went to look for a newer pair. I found these. They hit all of my selling points I want to find in a headset, being a gamer across multiple platforms it’s multifunctional so I don’t need a headset for each when I switch. The sound quality is amazing, for all games I play it gives the best quality in a headset I have found (this is my personal opinion). The comfort is a big, big FACTOR for gaming if you do longer hours you don’t want plastic to sweat your ears and head it just doesn’t feel good, the earphones are very comfortable and the headset strap at the top also has a cushion on top so it’s all around quality fit. The battery life far exceeds my old headset for longer uses before charging. This could be a user error but it doesn’t seem to go as loud as my a40s, I could probably fix this I just don’t know how. Still a 10/10 for me. I’d definitely purchase again.

Amazing headset the facr of connecting 3 devices ps4 xbox and pc and switch a button to swap between each is great, battery lasts a long time sound quality is the best one yet

First off, I was sent the wrong color, so boo on that. I really wanted to see the white one, but it’s not a huge deal. Out of the box you get the headset, the base, a USB-C to USB-A cable, a USB-C to USB-A and USB-C, about four different type of power adaptor in case you’re in a different country I guess, and inserts. You are encouraged to scan the QR code so you can have videos help you set up what is quite a confusing set up process if you want to connect a PC, a PS5, and a XBOX series X/S. In my case, I only have a PC, so setting things up was quite easy…ish. I used the USB-C to USB-A and USB-c cable to plug into the outlet and the base. Once everything powered on, You turn on the headset, and press the switch button. If you do not do this, your base may be on xbox or ps5 mode, and you will not be able to pair to your pc via Bluetooth. Yes, I learned that the fun way. One of the more frustrating parts is how reliant the headset is to the base. I thought it would be just a slightly glorified charger, but it’s a tether if you will. If you have your laptop with you and your headset, and you walk away from the base, you will start to experience cut offs in your sound. A side frustrating note, I downloaded the dolby access app from the Microsoft store, and when I launched it, it asked me if I wanted to try the 7 day trial or pay. The included documentation states that “once connected, Dolby Access will detect your device and activate Dolby Atmos for headphones.” Nope. I uninstalled and reinstalled about three times, and every time, it didn’t detect my headphones and kept asking to me try the trial or pay. A bummer that I couldn’t experience Dolby Atmos. Once I paired it, I turned on a movie for a quick sense of the sound. About a minute into it, I kept hearing a beep that occurred every 15 seconds, and sound kept cutting off. This lasted for about 3 minutes. This hasn’t happened since, but it was quite unusual. So far, I feel like I have a buggy headset or something. The sound is pretty good. I chose a movie that has an awesome audio fx, and I could hear an almost surround sound effect during my test. During my game test, I was able to toggle between voice and game sound. I really like this feature. The volume wheel is easily accessible, so another plus. The mic is a always there, bendy/flexy thing that offers pretty good sound according to my friends that I had a session with. I do wish I could detach them though. I think this is one of the few headsets that I’ve reviewed that do not have RGB lighting on it. I feel like RGB is becoming less of a thing these days. I see laptops dropping more and more RGB lighting. Maybe there’s a new trend coming soon? I don’t mind it. I like it when laptops and accessories are a bit more muted and don’t scream “I’m a gamer!” The headsets themselves feel pretty light compared to others I’ve used. I had a 2 hour gaming session, and it got a little warm after a while, but I didn’t feel like my head was being pushed into my neck. My one little complaint is that on the right side there is a wire there. I don’t understand the point of letting that one wire be the only wire in the whole headset that’s there. I like the overall industrial design that the AX50 have. With the two metal cylinders that control the height adjustment of the headset, it gives it a more premium feel to it. It’s a good mix of plastic and non-plastic material. This was a difficult one for me. I do like the design minus one weird design choice, the dolby atmos couldn’t even be accessed unless I decided to pay up, the sound was pretty unstable minutes into its first time use, and it’s almost tethered to the base. I’ve never had Astro headsets before, and at it’s premium price point, it’s difficult for me to confidently say that I would recommend it, but if you have the cash, and don’t mind a few of the negatives that I experienced, then I say go for it. One of its biggest selling point is to easily switch between a PC/PS5/XBOX with a push of a button. If you only have one of those three, I would say pass, but if you have at least 2/3, then a yay.

Finally upgraded from my gen2 A50’s. I use them for Ps5 and PC so the multi platform compatibility is very convenient. The new drivers are less bass heavy and have much clearer highs while still having punchy and booming low end. There is much less clamping pressure on the cups that make it very comfortable for long sessions and great while I’m wearing glasses. I am very happy with my purchase but I do feel for $400 after tax it should have came with its own hdmi 2.1 cable.

1: Lets get a few things out of the way to actually HELP OTHERS with a review: I have a 48 inch LG C1 OLED and yes, they work just fine, no sound issues. Keep in mind you HAVE to use HDMI 2.1 HighSpeed cords both to your display, the base station, and your console. From my understanding, this base station works as a “passthru” so it will make ALL sound play through your headset. I havent messed around with figuring out if you can have the sound come out of the TV and the headset. I know theres a setting for this on the Xbox console itself, but I highly doubt that will have any effect on it. I dont like that, because if I’m gaming, I want others to know, otherwise it’s super quiet in my room, and it just sounds like I’m yelling at nothing. 2: I try to buy the “best of the best” when it comes to tech. I had the Audeze Maxwells before this, but they are HEAVY. So much then when i look down they fall off my head. But theres a great solution to distribute the weight of them, simply google and research “headband cusion for Audeze Maxwell” and youll find what I was using for them. Now, this review isnt for the Maxwell, but I feel like these are a direct competitor to them, especially in terms of Price alone and Mic Quality. The Mic is amazing, but I think the Maxwell’s are better only in terms of the Noise Cancellation and the fact that the ling mic boom that actually holds it shape is very good. The A50 X’s unfortunately do NOT hold their shape very well and it is a HUGE upset. The mic boom on the A50 X’s always goes back to the original position and it makes me nervous when I’m trying to talk low if my coms are actually being picked up in the middle of a gaming match. 3: Another big downfall of the A50 X’s is the top cusion on the headband. Its very minimal and flat. It looks thick but collapses very easily. I wish it were replaceable with an aftermarket solution such as Wicked Cusions, but sadly I may have to come up with my own custom pad to put in there, because it definitely isnt thick enough. Its very flimsy and cheap foam. Other than that, super headset. The buttons on the side of the A50 X’s are almost too easy to press. If I’m laying down with them, my pillow will actuate them and go all the way to game chat without my knowing it, theres no sounds telling me this is happening, so if you’re having a late night chat in a party with friends and all of a sudden they arent replying, it’s probably because you’ve accidentally put the volume all the way over to game chat. Also, actuating the base station from the back of the headset is so easy its almost too easy. What I mean is that its overly sensitive. I’ve gone to the bathroom and came back and when i picked up my A50 X’s, they changed to PC mode, which immediately turns off my TV and it’s an OLED and I dont like turning it off and back on repeatedly. I feel like it could damage the TV when turned off suddenly, because the way it shuts it off is very quickly, it flashes the screen, then powers off fast. I dont like that. So I hope Logitech and Astro read this review and make adjustments on future models. Give us a good mic boom and better overhead cusioning, please!!

LOVE this headset! It seamlessly transfers between platforms and the audio quality is beyond impressive. It fits comfortably over my head and has an amazing range. Don’t think I’ll ever be able to replace it.

This was my second A50, and my 3rd Astro headset. Loved the sound and the comfort. Battery like was acceptable. My only complaint is the build quality. All 3 of my Astro headsets have had issues. My original A50’s the strap section the goes on top of you head separated. This one the plastic broke near one of the ear pieces. I was able to fix both issue but I still feel these things should not have happened considering I take great care of my headsets. This headset just up and quit charging. I love Astro but I’m being forced to move on due to build quality. At this price point I expect them to last longer than they are

To start i love this headset. Its very light, love the ease of use and button functions, easier to use than other headsets i recently owned. I previously bought the new Turtle Brach Stealths wireless, but after use i hated its functionality. Was annoying, especially having to always load the mobile app to get my pre-settings and many times it took long to load. Saw these online back in Jan 2024, kept my out for them. Unfortunately they sold out on release. I watched YouTube videos amd decided i would buy. Bought on BestBuy because they have exclusivity to the white set. Plus i had a $150 GC to apply as well. These are very light, audio easy to manage from chat to gameplay, fit comfortably, I game long hrs on PUBG and feels great. Can charge using the base or via USB C cable. When watching the videos i was turned off a bit by the setup on the base, but when I received it, setup was easy and straight forward. Love the button allowing to switch between different platforms PS5, PC, etc.. its very expensive and as many have stated, disappointing an HDMI cable wasn't included for the price. I recommend it and already have recommended it to a few of my gamer friends. One of which i plan to buy and gift for her upcoming b'day. The 1 con I noticed is that after syncing my headset for the 1st time via Bluetooth to my phone, I have to manually connect it to my phone whenever I want usage on it. Previous headsets automatically would connect to my phone.

Really solid headset always fully charged and ready to go when I hop on with my boys! My longest session was 9hrs and it still had 3 bars of baytery left and comfy all the way never felt heavy and the ears felt nice and soft. Its super cool how I connected my phone blutooth and it works at the same time with my PS5 which is great to have phone calls while gaming!

Taking price out of the equation this is a pretty amazing headset. The main characteristic that makes this different from everything else to me is that it feels like an open back headset. This isn't everyone's cup of tea but I genuinely like being able to also hear things around me and I do not specifically crave that complete isolation that other headsets offer. That said even with it feeling like that the sound is great, crisp, distinctive, and great for positional awareness. The microphone is amazing, probably the best mic I've tried. I do also like that the base has an independent power supply and doesn't just rely on the USB power from whatever it's plugged into. I additionally like how easily you can swap out the ear cushions if need be. The extra connectivity features are nifty, likely will provide some value, but I do wish there was a no frills base offered that just did USB with an addon for the other bits. Finally the price of this headset is quite high, and frankly as long as the gen4 astros is still being sold it's likely a better value if shooting for that open feeling but this model does offer better drivers and microphone.

This headset sounds great but can be complicated to find the optimal settings on console...PS5 for my case....you can set it up with USB C or HDMI but there are downsides to certain games you play using one or the other....the headset itself sounds great and is top notch comfort as long as you setup the height correctly etc. Feels high quality mine came in with no scratches. It is slightly overpriced though but I went for it just in case I ever got a different console along side my PS5, the mic is probably the best too on wireless gaming headsets. It's all about what you want, I'm currently testing the pulse elites as well which sound great..but on certain games I preferred the A50x more and vice versa....all in all you want something that's going to be comfortable on your head and sound good. I recommend if you have the money, you have to pay to play on this one. Lastly it depends on your setup, you need everything close together in one area if you want to switch seamlessly between your consoles or PC...if you have separate setups you probably need to look elsewhere.

Wow! I had gen 2 astro a50s that were finally starting to wear out on the cushions, power button and volume wheel. Decided to try this over the steel series because a friend had one and while that is a good headset it doesnt have logitech lightspeed(which i fell in love with on my mouse). The audio is better than that head set and can get louder. Lots of people creating eq’s for this headset to bring the most out of it. If you get a bass eq, your vision will literally get a little blurry from how much this headset thumps. Logitechs ghub makes it easy to find what you are looking for. The battery LiPo battery is replaceable too if it starts to degrade. The LiPo battery makes the headset charge quicker than anything else I have seen. The mic quality is unmatched. This is the new all in one gaming headset king. (P.S. i highly recommend the wicked cushions. They make the headset even more comfortable and lock in the sound. EQ’s specifically tuned for those cushions as well!)

I cannot express how incredible these headphones are. The quality is unmatched, the audio is impeccable, and they’re very comfortable to wear; especially for long periods of time. This purchase has completely elevated my gaming setup. Would definitely recommend these to anyone looking to take their setup to the next level!

Headset is light, can hold a very long charge and has really good range. I upgraded from an astro A50 gen 3 and the difference is very noticeable. Lots of customization options with the Dolby app to fit your needs whether its gaming or watching movies. Careful handling the white version as smudges are more noticable.

The Astro A50 X Lightspeed is a straight-up beast. The sound hits hard, crystal clear, and every footstep feels alive. The Lightspeed wireless is flawless—zero lag, pure freedom. Comfort? Unreal. Mic? Studio clean. This isn’t just a headset—it’s an upgrade to your entire game.

I've had these for a few weeks now. I haven't been gaming on my PC as much recently but I've used the A50xs whenever I need to use it. I got used to these quickly but the look, feel, comfort, sound quality, is all better. You notice it instantly when you switch between an old pair. My a50s are years old but they held up great. I hope the a50xs are the same because they feel so. 4* because they're way too expensive but I had a gift card. I really wanted a headset that could work on my xbox, ps, and PC easily, and I was already used to the Astro series. So I guess it's worth the price in my case. I'm torn on keeping the same design because it's worked great for years, but for $400 there could be something special or better material.

I pre-ordered mine through Logitech and got it a couple days after Christmas. Set up out of the box was quick since everything is color coded. The fit feels comfortable, wireless connection is solid, and the graphite drivers sound great. The wireless EQ app and Bluetooth sync were needed additions. Cushions from the Gen4 will fit these

Best headset I have ever had. The quality, sound, and feel of the headset is unmatched. The ease of switching between consoles and pc makes it a game changer, literally. Would buy again if I ever need a new one.
