Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Excellent sound and comfortable. My son has a hard to fit head and he loves these.

Having the HDMI switch built in to the switch is absolutely amazing. HDR still works just fine! Headset is super comfy and design is sleek. Epic sound quality for a wireless headset. Impressed with this.

Really great headset; fantastic sound, providing 24bit 48khz audio. Bought two sets for my boys. Just a couple tips: make sure you have a good HDMI cable for adding the base station. If you are going dude there are 50 million brands to choose from then check out Club3D's cables; superb cables, fair price. Next, for PS5 setup the directions are just wrong. Do not do the whole set ps5 audio output to TV, setting linear PCM, and configure 3D audio with the skipping the room measurement nonsense. Set it to AV Tuner and then to 7.1 channels. Set your format priority to Dolby Atmos and enjoy.

This headset is out of this world. Most comfortable headset I have ever worn and the sound quality is unmatched. Definitely worth the price!

set up was a little tricky, 8 needed to complete a power cycle for the m8c to work but the headset quality is great and they are nice and lightweight

Getting the Mic to work with discord was a bit of a challenge but after some tinkering it worked just fine. Really good quality mic and sound quality is great. I like how light it is on my head and i don't get fatigue from it. Charging dock looks great too. They did sacrifice some material quality to keep things light weight but I wish it didn't feel so plasticky at this price point. I don't really regret the purchase.

I was hesitant on buying these with the big price tag. I sure am glad I did, the sound quality is top notch, and the comfort is superb.

Best gaming headset on the market, wicked cushions with this setup is the bests, Eq and software on PC and mobile is also the best and easy to use paired with Bluetooth and multi platform capability can’t beat it. I’ve had turtle beach stealth pro, steel series Artic nova pro and so on nothing beats the a50x right now

I purchased this headset for my husband’s birthday, and he absolutely loves it. The sound quality and comfort are excellent, and it works seamlessly across devices. The only downside is that he wouldn’t recommend it for a child, since there are small parts that may break easily. For adults, though, it’s a fantastic choice.

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.

Excellent headset. Allows dual streaming of any device with your phone/ipad or any other bluetooth device simultaneously. I did run into a small issue using the HDMI audio on my LG C1 OLED where I was getting a static image or an invalid format error. However for those running into this issue, updating the firmware on my tv and upgrading all my HDMI cables to a much better quality fixed the issue flawlessly. From what I have read online this issue seems to be *exclusive* to LG OLED devices, and mainly affects the older ones. Also be aware that with running 3 HDMI cables out of it, cable management can be an issue. However, I have used it without HDMI’s using only USB connection and the audio worked perfectly fine, I couldn’t audibly tell the difference so its not a requirement. I have been using this with my Xbox Series X, PS5, PC, iPhone, iPad, and my Steam Deck. It has worked amazing for all of them. It’s comparable to a swiss army knife in its role as a multifunctional tool for entertainment. Besides that small hiccup with my TV, this has been a massive upgrade on my previous Astro A50’s that had far more issues. By far the best *gaming* headset I have owned.

The HDMI on a50x vs optical cable on older A50s is a huge difference A50x sounds great can hear every footstep on bf6 n cod and listening to music is the best setting up the headset to my tv n ps5 took a few mins but there is good instructions on google....also the range on these things is alot better then older A50s i can walk outside far away from my ps5 n can still talk and hear

Great sound quality and comfortable. The fact it works with my ps5 and xbox series x console and I only need to run one hdmi cable to the tv is great. Super convenient high quality headset that also had an atmos license for xbox.

I know what you are thinking. Who in their right mind spends $380+ on a headset for a ps5/PC? Before you cross these off your list due to price, I want to tell you firstly: do not let the price scare you for this headset. There are very few headsets out there that ive used that completely and properly immerse yourself into a video game. If you are looking for the holy grail of PS5/Pc headaets for competitive gaming like ranked play, or want to play at a semi professional level eventually, or just want hair raising immersion with video games, look no further. Ive dabbled with orher high end brands like beyerdynamic with their 330 pro headphones ($330 headphones), Audese and their maxwell gaming headaet, previous A40TR owner, ans A50 Gen 4 owner, and these A50X’s are just on another level when it comes preception and awareness. The maxwells, and beyerdynamics sound fantastic, but if you want a pure gaming headset where being able to have a 6th sense with just stupid pinpoint accuracy with your ears, such-as footsets, and spaceal awareness, these cannot be beat. Thats why I prefer these over my other headphones. Ive always loved astro and decided to branch out, only to come back and be absolutely blown away with what their team can engineer. The detail, and realism these headphones provide is insane, and I fully understand why these are worth so more than any other highend gaming headphone, and why the pros use these. Heck, I thought upgrading from the A40Tr to the A50 Gen 4 was nice, the audio difference from the A50 Gen 4 to these A50X is something I truly didnt think could get much better. These things are pure bliss, and I encourage anyone who is even remotely thinking of tryign these to give them a shot, they will blow your socks off and gaming will truly feel like an escape from reality with these headphones. This has probably been one of my favorite purchases of 2025 already.. Also, make sure to buy an HDMI 2.1 for these, you will plug it into the base station and then into your TV. Your PS5 hdmi cable, gets taken out of the TV end, and it goes to the base station as well. So you will have an HDMI in and one out for the base station, plus the red Type C cable that comes with these to powers the base station. These headphones have alot of other cool features like mobile app stuff where you can tune them, and all that, but im absolutely dumbfounded with how good these sound right out of the box.. If youre into realism and are a competitive player, do yourself a favor, and these I can almost guarantee there will be an improvement in your gameplay, just off of having a good quality headset such as these. Buy with confidence!!

If you had Astros in the past you’d find the same features from their product lineup like chat/game mix, Bluetooth, and spatial sound support, with the newer feature being able to switch from console to pc with just the push of a button. Sound quality is improved on the new A50s as I’m being able to hear every minor sound for competitive games like CoD or R6, and when playing story based games with Dolby Atmos these sound just as good. The default sound profile is on the warmer side with higher frequencies reduced, which I like, but if you dislike that sound profile, you can change it through the equalizer on the Logitech G hub app on PC or mobile. Comfort is also good except for the slightly smaller earcups, and I wish the headband was wider because after a few hours of gaming, I noticed pressure building up on top of my head. Something that you should be aware of is to make sure you get a pair of A50s that don’t have a noticeable white noise when nothing is playing because my first pair had so much of it that I swapped them for a new pair, since that noise was kind of hurting my ears. When comparing them to my pair of Sennheisers they actually perform fairly well, with the only downsides being less soundstage and detail retrieval, but their convenience and ease of use makes me recommend them. The downsides are the price for an all plastic headset, its quality still needs to be proved over time, and there’s some issues when using certain monitors or TVs which were hopefully addressed on the latest firmware update.

Great sound. Easy controls. Flawless connectivity. Exactly what you want from a console headset. Bought them while they were on sale but would have been worth the money at full price.

Great headset sound is amazing and battery life is great best head in market

Excellent comfort and sound. Only qualm is that the bass frequencies need to be EQd a little lower to stabilize the mix. All in all 9/10

Packaging and materials feel premium. Nice opening experience with quick and easy initial instructions. Sound quality is superb, rich lows and crisp highs with high level of detail in games. I like to play survival horror games and these are top notch for games like dead space 2, alien isolation and s.t.a.l.k.e.r. 2, comfort is superior and definitely important in a headset like this that will be worn for extended periods of time. 10/10 would buy again. Note: you will need high quality, high speed hdmi cables for these to work flawlessly, if not using a PC and using multiple consoles. Not a negative but something to consider.
