Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve had 2 headsets before this one. This is the best out of the 3. 5/5 stars. Play music off the phone so that no lag while playing games. Zero from “Holes” recommends it.

Best headphones I’ve ever had I will never go back to turtle beaches

Beautiful device and the sounds is nice and enough.

I bought these for Christmas for my son and he absolutely loves them! The ease of use is great because my son is 12 and I'm 35 and they're very easy to understand and switch from device to device. Worth every penny!

These sounds great and have all the right features. Unfortunately, for some reason they shrunk the earpad opening vs the previous version. It made things uncomfortable for me. On top of that there was a constant white noise that you can hear when on a phone call or when your volume is low. For $380 I can’t let these things slide. I returned it.

Been using them a few months now and by far best headset I’ve used!!!

Just the fact that it works for all systems without that 40 dollar box , is great ! Unfortunately i wasnt able to get my money when i returned the astro a 50 to get these but still happy i traded them. Sound is great tunning themnis easy and the app to do it it easy to manuever around. Overal greatness. Definitely recommend !

Fantastic headset honestly best thing I’ve bought throughout this entire year. There were some technical issues but with Logitech support they help you through the entire time. Fully recommend.

quick customer service and very attentive staff in and out fast!

Overall great headphones, if you have more than 2 platforms like I do i highly recommend purchasing these!

Fantastic headset, worthy upgrade from the old a40 tr I’ve had for years now.

Poor build quality for a headset with this pricetag. Within 2 weeks of receiving the headset, the boom mic just falls down and has completely destroyed the sound quality of the mic. The ability to adjust the EQ wirelessly is a nice addition along with the ability to switch between devices and simultaneously connect via bluetooth to my phone. I would say the sound quality itself is about the same as its predecessor. The setup with the PS5 is a pain and I would suggest to NOT follow what the guide says. I will be returning this headset.

Good headset I haven’t had any issues with it personally

Nice I like it just stopped working though, I really liked it except the power button does rattle.

Great Headset! Astro has amazing equipment and quality!

Please do not get. Charging base SUCKS, i spend like a full minute trying to make it charge. bluetooth Connection sucks only works good within 8 feet. The app tweaks out alot and cant detect headset to adjust settings. Better off getting a cheaper headset

Have only owned this headset for maybe at the 8 month mark where it completely started crashing. Constant static within the headset, the base disconnects, mic turns to crap, and I can never come through clear in parties in Xbox anymore. I can hear people fine other than the static when people talk but this headset sucks. Not worth the money

High schooler approved. I highly suggest buying a different cushing however.

Note: Currently might not output 4k 120hz on LG Tvs or monitors but should be fixed with a firmware update soon. If you have Sony, Samsung, or other branded TVs and monitors like Asus, MSI, Alienware then you should be good. Extremely comfortable, earcups feel like soft clouds. The material is cloth which I like because pleather makes your ears sweat. Sound is very good, the app lets you adjust sound for each game on PC and then it saves for each game on PC and console. Microphone sounds very crisp, not much noise cancellation but there is a mode in the app to drown out some background noise. Dolby Atmos works great even on PS5. To connect to PS5 it took a bit of work as I had to boot the console on safe mode in 1080p and then adjust the picture in 4k which isn’t really a big deal but PS5 is sometimes weird with non Sony products. I had tons of headsets, some may sound a bit better especially the open back headsets but they are not as comfortable or are too heavy, these sound great and have a solid smooth bass where other headsets I had were a bit shaky and painful in heavy bass, I can even hear footsteps without having to turn the bass down like on other headsets so you can still enjoy the game sounds and still hear opponents, these also feel so much better on your ears than any headset we ever had. The game chat mix is on the side so you can instantly lower the chat sound during the game. It also has simultaneous Bluetooth so you can listen to music from your phone or take calls, while playing games like Madden or 2k. They are expensive so maybe try to trade in some old stuff or find a coupon. Pro: Comfort, sound, microphone sound, features, EQ settings, battery life, simultaneous bluetooth, comfort again (seriously I used to just think that you had to settle for heavy or uncomfortable headsets or use earbuds but these feel so good) Cons: Expensive, might not get 4k 120hz with LG, to connect with PS5 it requires to boot the console in safe mode for the initial setup (not a big deal but Astro never mentions this, I had to research this myself)

If you’re anything like me you’ve been waiting a long time for these guys to release, and they have lived up to my expectations. I find them to be the sounding gaming headset that I’ve ever tried. COMFORT: If you’ve tried a previous Astro A50 before this is essentially the same exact design. Earcup size might be a bit smaller width wise. Has same rotation posterior (behind), minimal anterior (front), and vertical to adapt to your head. Can fit small to very large heads. I can wear them all day without any issues. They are open back which means you can hear everything around you. SOUND: Sound quality is simply the best I've heard on a gaming headset period. By a good margin. Noticeably better than my Gen 4's. A bit better than the Stealth Pros. A good step better than the Nova Pros. I'm constantly blown away at just how crisp and accurate everything sounds. Locational sounds are right on the money. I'm hearing things I normally don't hear (such as background noises). And when there is a bunch of different sounds going on I can easily tell them apart. My testing has mostly been done on PC. Also, did it on my Apple 4K TV and 4K Blu-ray player. Some on the PS5, which I thought it performed the weakest on. More on that below. They sound great for single player gaming, competitive gaming, music, and media. Which I rarely say. As most of the time a headset is only good at one or two of those things. The sound is comparable to my Hifiman Ananda's. The Anandas still sound better for music. But are super close while being wireless which is very impressive. But find the Dolby Atmos for Headphones (as doesn’t support Dolby Atmos regular) is a bit limited (as can only do PCM stereo through 4k Blu-ray player and Apple 4K). As it doesn't support Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital for Speakers. Tempest audio supposedly works but didn't sound super great and needs further testing. As I found when going through HDMI that it wasn’t working correctly so the channels seemed to be messed up providing a sub-par experience. But this is how they recommend you set it up on PlayStation (HDMI for game audio and then USB for chat so you get game/chat balance). But this doesn’t use the Temptest audio correctly (at least at time of testing and without a firmware update). And found that using the USB-C gave dramatically better sound but made it so I couldn’t use Game/Chat balance. As that did use Temptest audio correctly. Also, not as high of bit depth (16, 48k vs 24-bit, 48K). I don’t own an Xbox so didn’t test on that. But used that port for my Apple 4K and 4K Blu-ray player. I loved them during movies. As I had directional audio where I could hear where things were coming from. Also, the bass is excellent where explosions and gunshots sound great. The bass isn’t over done to the point it gets in the way of other audio. I think is just right as it is strong enough to be impactful without destroying other frequencies. In Single Player games I was very immersed. And in competitive games I had an edge as I could hear footsteps and where they were coming from well. Better than any of the other headsets I’ve tried (which is a lot). Music did above average as well. But wasn’t as good as my Anandas which I wouldn’t expect. But very enjoyable still. In the end I think the HDMI audio is going to be superior to most other headsets. As the data rate there is pretty significant. Not saying that USB-C is a slouch. But usually maxes out at 10 gbps for standard USB-C devices compared to 40 - 48 gbps with HDMI 2.1. Does this actually make a difference. Yes, I think it does. MICROPHONE: I found the “broadcast” setting to sound the best. As for a gaming headset mic, much less one that is wireless, I thought it sound really good. I would easily use it and didn’t get any complaints from teammates. BUILD QUALITY: Appears to be improved from the A50 Gen 4. The top headband has a stronger latch with bigger surface area which means it shouldn’t break as easy. But when twisting and spreading the headset you do see a lot of pressure there. Which makes me concerned. But I’ve torqued on it quite a bit without any issues. As the plastic itself is quite malleable. Can use the previous ear cushions or Mod Kit on these. Which I greatly appreciate. Making it so you don’t need to buy new ones if already purchased. All the buttons have a very nice click and feel to them. None of them are loose. Charging cradle appears to have stronger magnets making it easier to place the headset into. COMPARED TO THE COMPETITION: I also own the Astro A50 Gen 4, SteelSeries Nova Pro, and Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. These are better than the Gen 4 A50 in every category. Ranked best to worst, A50X, Stealth Pro, Nova Pro. Put simply, using 4K TV terminology I find the A50x to be like 4K Dolby Vision Blu-ray quality, the Stealth Pro to be 4K Dolby Vision Streaming Quality, and the Nova Pro to be 4K HDR10 Streaming Quality when it comes to audio. Microphone is the best on the A50x. Comfort goes to either the Stealth Pro or A50x. I like the A50x works on all consoles. Technically, so do the others but require you to change wires. Assuming everything is in the same vicinity. ISSUES: There is a ton of tech inside this guy. Sometimes it doesn’t handshake correctly requiring a quick reboot (unplug power and plug it back in). Which is also sometimes fixed by just unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable. You’ll want to make sure you’re using HDMI 2.1 cables for everything. To further explain, sometimes I’ll get a messed up picture or audio when switching ports (Xbox to PS5 for example). Or when going from SDR to HDR on my 4K Apple TV. Additionally, even though everything is working correctly sometimes the audio bugs out. Sometimes this can be hard to tell has happened. I’ve noticed when this happens you get inferior audio in every way. Not as good of explosions (lows), directional sound is terrible, separation of sound isn’t as good, and some other issues. Power cycling (from the base station) will fix it. I think when people complain of bad audio it is due to the audio bugging out and them being unaware as everything else tends to be working. Also, noticed when this happens the Bluetooth won’t work correctly. Or won’t connect automatically. Some users have mentioned certain LG TV’s aren’t working correctly. I don’t have an LG so can’t test. But something to check for. I’m sure will be fixed with Firmware Update. Same with some monitors. As I don’t think most monitors support HDMI passthrough (eARC). On PC this isn’t an issue as just use USB-C as same quality. But if on console then it could be. OTHER: Switching between the different modes (Xbox, PC, PS5) is easy, works well, and is relatively quick. I'm getting the full HDR and 120 Hz on my PS5. Along with Apple 4K TV. Bluetooth works great. Immediately connects. Pressing the button for play/pause, skip forward/backward works extremely well as the button feels great and is easy to find. Unlike the Stealth Pro. Sound quality is excellent there as well. And balancing between the game and my phone audio is very easy. As again the Bluetooth here sounds better than the competition as well. Charging hasn't been an issue and battery life seems great. Only lost 1 - 2 bars over like 10 - 15 hours of use. Software works in Logitech G Hub. Don’t like G Hub. But gives you EQ settings for both the headset sound and the microphone. Supposedly there is also a stream port. Which I didn’t check out. So, for the price point I think it performs extremely well. As there is a lot of tech here. More than I think most people give it credit for. But I am using it on multiple things which helps justify. If I were only using it on a single device, I'd probably still buy it. But have more expensive headsets so I'm more used to the price. Also, sound to me is #1. But it performs excellently in every category. It doesn’t have noise cancelling. Which I don’t mind. Overall, I love it. It’s become my main driver.
