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.

Impressive sound quality: Its audio quality is among the best for wireless gaming headsets: it has powerful bass, very clear mids, and bright highs, creating a rich and immersive experience.
It also supports Dolby Atmos (depending on the platform) for a more immersive spatial experience.
Multiplatform switching: One of its standout features: its base station has HDMI 2.1 for video and audio transmission, allowing you to switch between consoles (e.g., PS5 and Xbox) with a single button. This makes it ideal if you use multiple systems and don't want to carry multiple headsets or constantly disconnect. Comfort: It has a comfortable design: soft ear cushions, a well-padded headband, and a weight that doesn't feel excessive for what it offers. TechRadar calls it a "gem for long sessions.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're thrilled to hear that the product is working well for you and meeting your expectations. Your feedback helps us continue to improve and innovate. We truly appreciate your support of Logitech.

When its working, its absolutely amazing. Best headset ive ever used. The charge time is fast. The sound quality in absolutely great. I like that i can connect to my phone and hear gameplay while in use. The only flaw that it has, I can be locked in in a game and then out of nowhere, it loses connection to my tv amd get error message that says there is an issue with HDMI connection and the tv will jeep trying to connect. I cant see anything during this period but i can hear whsts happening. I have lost so many games because of this and it happens daily. Not once has it ever happened with the previous A50's.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed experience, Daniel. It’s great to hear how much you enjoy the headset’s sound and connectivity, and your feedback on the HDMI issue is very valuable.

I’ve been using my Astro headset for a while now, and I’m honestly impressed. The sound quality is top-tier crystal clear audio with deep bass and great balance, especially for gaming. Footsteps, dialogue, and directional audio come through perfectly, which makes a huge difference in competitive play.
The comfort is another big win. Even during long gaming sessions, the headset doesn’t feel heavy or uncomfortable. The ear cushions are soft, breathable, and don’t cause ear fatigue, which is something I’ve struggled with on other headsets.

I never invested too heavily on a headset, but never went too cheap either. Was recommended the A50X by a friend and I cannot believe what I was missing out on with a very quality headset.
Dolby atmos license is included, great dock, long battery life, great audio quality. I would purchase the A50X again without any hesitation.
Thank you for your kind words about the Logitech - Astro A50X LIGHTSPEED! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the exceptional audio quality, Dolby Atmos integration, and the convenience of the dock. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy your gaming experience with the A50X.

I have big ears. This headset doesn't hurt them and press them down.
I'm not a competitive gamer, but I do enjoy high quality audio and ease of use. This is the 3rd version of the A50 I have owned and this is the only PC headset I've ever used that just works. No questions, no fuss...it just works.
It might not have the best sound for watching movies or the best audio for FPS games, but if you want a high quality, no fuss, headset that just works, this is the one for you.
10/10, would recommend.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted the product is performing well for you. Your feedback inspires us to keep pushing forward.

Great headset if you have multiple gaming systems. I’ve been able to take advantage of it having it hooked to my PC, PS5, and Series S all at once and switching audio between them is a breeze. The base station is great and consistent it passes video and audio 4k 120hz through HDMI is makes it great for the price. 4K 120hz hdmi audio adapters are pricey. Would definitely recommend. It’s comfortable and never have to charge because it rest on the base when not in use.
We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying your ASTRO A50 Wireless Gaming Headset with PLAYSYNC Base Station! It's designed to provide a seamless, high-performance audio experience across multiple gaming platforms.

One of the best headsets on the market if you have all 3 (Xbox, PS, and PC). It’s a plus that it connects to your phone via Bluetooth as well. Only slight issue I encountered for my particular use is using the headset when recording with a capture card on the pc. When recording gameplay the audio is sent out and cannot be heard on the headset and recorded at the same time.

LG OLED HDMI Deep Color Issue
|

Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I have the fix for this… Except it’s going to cost you an extra $97…
To make the A50X work with “older” LG tv’s you have to disable HDMI Deep Color in the LG settings. However, in doing this you lose the full bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 and everything that comes with it; 4K 120FPS HDR, ALLM, VRR etc. If this is acceptable for you, you can disable this feature and it will work. If not, here is the solution...
In order to keep HDMI Deep Color enabled along with all the capabilities it provides, you have to place an HDMI 2.1 splitter between the A50X base station and your TV. This gets you around whatever issue currently exists between the base station and TV’s direct connection. The link below is to the splitter I used. It’s not cheap, but cheaper HDMI splitters/switches often lie about their bandwidth capabilities and likely would cause other issues, if they worked at all. I can confirm, I am currently using the below splitter with the Astro A50X base station, and an LG C9 OLED with HDMI Deep Color enabled and have complete HDMI 2.1 bandwidth/functionality with my PlayStation 5.
Once you have the splitter, you will connect your source (PS5/XBOX etc.) to the corresponding input on the A50X base station, then the base station’s Output to the Input of the splitter, and then one of the Outputs of the splitter to your TV. **Be sure to use certified HDMI 2.1 cables for all connections. As a bonus, this splitter also has the ability to split audio out over optical, so you could also choose to connect your source to an AV system/sound bar with an optical input.
Admittedly this is not the ideal solution, but until LG and/or Logitech develop a fix, this is a much cheaper alternative to getting a new TV. The audio and microphone quality and the base station HDMI switching capabilities of the A50 X, for me, are exceptional enough to warrant the cost of this work around while waiting on a firmware update to natively correct the issue. Hope this helps!

Despite its minor HDMI Deep Color limitation, the Astro A50X offers excellent audio, comfort, and features. A splitter provides a workaround for full HDMI 2.1 functionality.

It’s been so long since I had Astros. This headset made me ask why did I stop using them. It’s basically the same as the regular Astro A50s with an additional input on the base station. Having more than 2 consoles connected is great to have and the sound is fantastic compared to my previous headset (Razer Blackshark V2). I would suggest if you want the cheaper route, go with the A50 instead. But with a PC and 2 consoles, it’s convenient to play anything at any time in one location.

Very comfortable with a cool design. Though it looks a bit funky on my head its still a good headset. Sound quality is pretty decent and ease of use is great. The side panel on the right can get annoying, because i accidentally tap it when i take my headset off and then get confused why the slider isnt increasing the volume all the way. User error on my part though and i always figure it out. But overall still a 5 and its a cool looking headset!
We’re so pleased to hear your experience has been positive. Your input helps us build better products for everyone.
