Customer Ratings & Reviews

Dead out of the box. Spent 4 hours with Logitech customer support only to determine the unit was defective. Could not change between PC and Xbox mode. Even when connected to PC, Logitech's GHub software (to update firmware) would not recognize the headset. Be warned: Logitech wants the base station to act as an intermediary between Xbox and TV/display. You need two ultra high-speed HDMI cables. Xbox out to base station Xbox HDMI in and base station HDMI out to TV/display.

The Logitech Astro A50 X Lightspeed wireless headset is absolutely amazing. The sound quality is crystal clear, with deep bass and super clean highs. Everything from games to music sounds incredible. The surround sound makes games way more immersive, and the directional audio is spot-on. The Lightspeed wireless connection is rock solid. No dropouts, no lag, just instant and reliable audio. The battery life is great, and the new dock makes charging effortless. Just drop it on and it's good to go. The comfort is also top-tier; I can wear these for hours without any pressure or fatigue. The build quality feels premium, the mic is clear, and the overall experience is just super smooth. If you want a high-end wireless gaming headset that does everything right, this is the one. I'm extremely impressed and love using it.

Finally, the Astro A50 for all the gaming systems. Not just one or the other, but literally Xbox, PlayStation and PC all in one. Then, to add on to that, it also has Bluetooth support so you can connect your phone or any other device as well. I do find it kind of odd that is says “+Base Station” because this headset will not work without it, so it is kind of essential and not really a “plus” or additional thing. One thing to keep in mind, if you intend to use all these systems, you will need 1 additional HDMI and 1 additional USB-A to USB-C cable. It acts kind of like a receiver on its own where you hook HDMI from your Xbox/PlayStation to the base station, then HDMI from it to your Monitor/TV and then USB from the PC/Xbox/PlayStation for the rest of the audio settings. However, it has the split power/USB that works for the PC and one USB-A to C cable for 1 other device. Considering you also need to access the base station for charging, this might entail a fair bit of new wire management for you. Once you have it all connected, to switch from device to device is simply a press of a button on the headset. Which can also be an accidental press taking you out of your game completely as it switches the video source as well for the consoles. Also, the Bluetooth option is actually to the base station. So, it’s not like you can just use these headphones around the house and keep listening to the phone in your pocket as it doesn’t have the greatest range. However, for your normal sitting at the PC/Console playing games, this headset is amazing. What could make it even better is if you could listen/speak to 2 sources at once, like Xbox/PC, but having the Bluetooth play along the whole time is a neat feature. Also, the microphone is 1 device, so if you are talking over Bluetooth on your phone, you are not able to talk over any other device at the same time. At least you can hear both though. Sound quality on these is ear tickling. Literally the bass on these things along with the clarity is amazing. The 3D audio support with Dolby Atmos is spot on. The cloth ear cushions are comfortable, but don’t provide much for passive noise canceling though. But, if you like that open air feeling, these have that. Microphone quality is sharp and clear and the mic is flip-up to mute, however there is no feedback like a tone to let you know when it is muted unless you flip all the way up to the point it locks in place. Overall, besides needing to find extra cables and managing the cables around the little base station, this is what I expected the Astro A50 to be capable of. The video of your PC still has to go through its normal connection, but the 4K 120hz of the other ports brings you down one connection essentially and makes swapping between them super simple. With the day long battery life too, this is for non-stop gaming.

This is what I’d call the apex of gaming headsets. It has all the features you might want with no extra fluff or juvenile lights and color schemes. I’ve owned dozens of gaming headsets over many years and I have always respected the quality of Astro but found in the past that they were lacking somewhat in comfort and certain features like Bluetooth. The last Astro I had was the second generation A50, and they have come a long way since then. This newest version takes everything I ever liked about the old 2nd gen and adds significant improvements across the board. I always appreciated the magnetic charging dock, flip to mute boom mic, easy to use mix amp controls and overall sound quality, and thankfully they have not messed with any of those good things. They have however added Bluetooth support for simultaneous sound from your phone while playing, enhanced the comfort level of the head band and ear cups, tweaked the design of the charging dock making it easier to get a solid connection for the headset to charge properly, and most importantly and impressively made it so you can pass through HDMI 2.1 for full 4k 120hz from both the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. This pass through gets the best sound quality possible and I have noticed zero lag or difference in video quality out of my hardware since adding the new A50 to my setup. On both sides of the equation you get full Dolby atmos support, and neither my PS5 or Series X report any changes to their video output quality since hooking things up. The only drawback to this pass through is that there is no HDMI cable included with this headset so you need to provide your own ultra high speed cable to output from the dock to the TV. If you intend to use this for both consoles at once you’ll also need a second USB C cable as there is only one of those in the box. With those two extra cables you can get two consoles hooked up and working with no fuss. I have an LG B2 OLED TV in conjunction with this headset and my consoles and everything works flawlessly. Chat quality is excellent, the atmos sound is phenomenal, I have worn them for many hours at a time with no fatigue or discomfort, they have massive battery life for marathon sessions, and even have a USB-C port on the headset for charging independently of the dock if needed. I’ve been able to keep gaming while taking phone calls and can hear the call crisp and clear with no distortion and am told I sound great on the other end. Other than wishing that it included an appropriate HDMI cable and second USB cable I cannot think of anything else I would ask for from this headset. It is extremely impressive and wonderful to be able to use for a multi platform household with such ease. This is one of the very best gaming headsets available today, and I think it is worth every penny.

I’m honestly not sure what else you would need in a set of gaming headphones as the new Logitech Astro A50 X LIGHTSPEED wireless gaming headset comes with most bells and whistles. The Astro A50 X package contains the headphones, the HDMI base station, a USB-A to USB-C cable, a combo cable for your PC and the power adapter with a variety of plug heads depending on what region you are using these. Obviously one of the main features to look for in any good set of headphones has to be the sound which aren’t a let down in the Astros thanks to the the 40 mm Pro-G Graphene audio drivers. The sound is crystal clear with no delay in response thanks to the pro-grade LIGHTSPEED wireless technology they have. Possibly one of the greatest features the Astro A50’s offer is the ability to link all of your gaming consoles through their multi-system base station which allows you to run all your console’s HDMI cables and PC’s USB connections through it and which doubles as the docking station for your wireless headphones. The HDMI passthroughs offer Ultra HD resolution with 24-bit audio and 4K 120Hz video. On top of the input/passthrough options, it also has a Bluetooth connection in the event you want to pair it with your phone or other device. The next feature I always look for in a gaming headset that you might be spending hours on end wearing is the comfort. For me that means no high-end leather or vinyl material on the ear cushions as they cause me to sweat which is no bueno. The Astro A50s, thankfully, use a soft and cool mesh cloth type material that feels nice around the ears for hours on end. The 48kHz full-bandwidth broadcast quality LIGHTSPEED mic pairs perfectly with the high-end headphones and easily tucks away on the side when not in use. After using the headphones for several hours, it’s almost like they were not in use as the battery level barely budged meaning you can enjoy hours of use without worrying about the pesky low battery warnings and ending a game session. You can tinker with and fine tune your audio experience using the advanced Logitech G Hub on your PC and mobile application which has a 10-band equalizer, microphone settings, noise reduction and more. All that being said, the new Astro A50 X’s were obviously designed and manufactured for the hardcore gamers and could even double as your new over-the-ear music headphones when not gaming. The only thing I can think of that these might be lacking is haptic feedback which I had in my previous gaming headphones however that more of a bonus rather than a necessity and Logitech did another amazing job catering to gamers.

This headset is a beast. Logitech and Astro did not come to play with the A50 X. From the moment I put them on, I knew I was in for an elite gaming experience. Sound quality? Immaculate. The PRO-G Graphene drivers give crisp highs, deep lows, and that juicy mid-range that makes you feel like you're in the game. Whether I’m on Warzone or Forza, the spatial awareness is insane—like cheat-code-level sound positioning. Mic? Super clean. I’ve been told I sound like I’m podcasting while gaming. Not quite studio-level, but way better than your average wireless headset. Comfort? Top-tier. These are light, the ear cups are soft AF, and I can wear them for 6+ hours without feeling like I got into a headlock with a robot. Battery? 24 hours. Legit. Drop them on the magnetic base station and it’s smooth sailing. The PLAYSYNC base station is a game-changer if you play on multiple systems (I switch between Xbox and PS5 daily). One tap, and boom—system switched. Plus HDMI 2.1 passthrough keeps my 4K 120Hz dream alive. CONS: Setup is cable-heavy. You’ll need some patience and desk space. Mic placement can be tricky—sometimes picks up background noise if you’re in a loud room. Pricey—but if you want the best, you gotta pay to play. Final Take: This headset is not for casual gamers. It's for the ones who take their game seriously and want the best sound, comfort, and flexibility across multiple consoles. If you’re willing to invest, the A50 X delivers big. Would 100% buy again.

The Logitech wireless earbuds offer a great balance of comfort, sound quality, and reliable connectivity. Designed for both work and casual listening, they feature a lightweight build and soft ear tips that stay comfortable even during long calls or music sessions. The sound is clean and well-balanced, with clear vocals and decent bass without feeling overpowering. They also include noise reduction for calls, making voices sound crisp and professional during meetings. Battery life is solid—typically lasting around 7–8 hours per charge, with the case providing extra playtime.

Upon unboxing the headset, it became immediately apparent that the ASTRO A50 X sets itself apart from other gaming headsets I've previously used. The packaging is neat, and all the cables are meticulously included and labeled based on their intended connections. The build quality is exceptional, providing a premium feel when holding the headset. One notable aspect of the ASTRO A50 X is its versatility in terms of connection options. The headset is accompanied by a base station that can link to multiple gaming consoles through HDMI 2.1 and USB-C. This base station serves as an AVR system, allowing seamless switching between preferred gaming consoles by simply pressing the Play/Sync button on the headset. The setup process is straightforward, though customization depends on the individual gaming arrangement. In my case, with two distinct setups one has an Xbox Series X and Alienware R15 positioned at a distance from each other, I only connected my Xbox, making the Play/Sync function unnecessary. On the second setup, I have my PS5 and Nintendo OLED, the Play/Sync feature becomes essential as both PS5 and Nintendo are connected. The transition between consoles is smooth, with no loss in the 120Hz refresh rate, thanks to the base's ability to pass through 120Hz 4K. The base station also serves as a charging dock, offering a comprehensive setup and hassle-free charging through cable, while functioning as a replacement for an AVR system by delivering audio/video simultaneously. Additionally, the base features an illuminated label of the switched device beside the charging indicator, enhancing the user-friendly experience. The headset is also Bluetooth-enabled, and the Astro app is available on both Android and IOS devices for adjusting a few limited settings unlike on PC or Xbox. The inclusion of Dolby Atmos, coupled with a long-term license, adds to the headset's appeal. All controls are conveniently positioned on the right side of the headset, with the earcup managing the balance between game sound and voice. In terms of performance, having used it extensively across various games, I can confidently say that this headset is exceptional. The sound quality is remarkable, capturing clear footsteps and effects. During gameplay in Assassin's Creed Mirage, the immersive experience was noticeable as I could identify every single movement with zero latency, and the sound synchronized seamlessly. Moreover, it is very comfortable, and wearing my prescription glasses poses no issue as they fit well. The flexible mic allows for easy adjustment in any direction to achieve an optimal distance to the mouth and flipping it up mutes the voice effortlessly. Great gaming headset with superior sound quality and stable connection.

Quick Overview ================================= There are a LOT of choices if you're shopping for gaming headsets. Even at the top-end of the range, which these Logitech G A50 X Lightspeed Wireless (+Base Station) Headsets clearly fall into. Premium gaming headsets need to have features and functionality that justify their high price tag and we'll see if these can! Overall build ================================= The large box includes everything you need to get started except HDMI cables. HDMI cables you ask? Well, we'll get to that... The headset itself is large and wide with smooth-operating metal posts to guide the earcups to their positions. The earpads are a soft, breathable fabric (replaceable!) and the padding at the top of the headband is well-padded. The right earcup has controls including a game/chat volume rocker on the outer flat surface and buttons/controls for switching inputs, Bluetooth, power, and a volume wheel located at the bottom rear. The left earcup has the microphone that swivels up and down. It's flexible but doesn't really hold the bend. We'll see if that affects performance. The base station is a trapezoid with charging contacts and indicators for charging and Xbox/PC/PS. On the rear is the interesting part: You'll see 3x USB-C connections and 3x HDMI ports. The first HDMI port is an output to your TV or monitor and it's paired with a USB-C input that uses a special split cable providing power (via a power brick) and a USB-A connector to your PC. The next pairs of USB-C/HDMI ports are for PS and Xbox. Logitech had to do this because each system uses a proprietary wireless protocol (hence so many headsets built for one system or another...). Here, it's taking audio in from the HDMI feed and using USB-C for the microphone. It's a bit to set up, but it does work well in practice. Initial setup ================================= First, peel off the plastic film protecting the charging contacts on the base station and set the headphones in. You can't simply drop them in unless you're lucky. You'll need to adjust one cup or another slightly until you see the charging lights go on. It's not a big deal, but be sure to take the time to make sure they're charging before you walk away. Next we need to connect up all the HDMI and USB-C connections. First, I started by plugging in the included power brick (multiple plug adapters are included for international use) and connecting the special split cable to the power port on the base station. The cable's end is red and so is the proper port, so it's easy to match it up. From there, it was USB-A to my gaming PC (Asus ROG Strix G18). The next set of USB-C/HDMI went to my Playstation and lastly, another set to the Xbox. Note, I did have to remove these from my Yamaha receiver which was not ideal since I do want the option to feed sound through my home stereo setup at times, but we'll discuss that later. Also, I've heard that the setup can be difficult for many that aren't comfortable with A/V setups so Logitech does have some videos out there to help. After that, I watched the blinking lights for awhile and decided it was time to test. Performance ================================= Starting with PC gaming, I was pleased with how light and comfortable the headphones felt on my head. Whether they were actually lighter or not than my Rig 600 Pro HX, they felt lighter due to the good padding and fit. I fired up a few games to test including Sniper Elite 5, Warframe, and Yakuza Kiwami 2. All the games sounded great and the low, gravely voices used by the voice actors in Sniper Elite 5 and Yakuza Kiwami 2 came through loud and clear. Positional audio sounded at least as good as my old Rig 600 Pro HX. I say that because it's hard to A-B test these quickly. Warframe's mix of "space ninjas" and ambient music was another great immersive test. I didn't notice anything that the graphene drivers couldn't handle. Plenty of highs, mids, and bass from low voices and explosions with no distortion (I've had some on my Rig headsets before). On PC there are a lot of customization options that were easy to access since I already had the Logitech G Hub installed for some other peripherals. In it, you can customize the sound profile, EQ, and interesting to me, the mic EQ and noise gate. I record videos/voiceovers on YouTube and for work and I was very pleasantly surprised that the "Broadcast" preset sounded very close to my dedicated Rode mic setup. I was concerned that the mic's distance from my mouth wasn't going to allow for a good pick up, but my testing went really well. I could see using this for recording if my Rode broke for some reason. To switch to the Playstation, all I had to do was push a button on the right earcup and the input and sound switched over. Very nice! I don't know if I ever really need to "fast switch" between PC and consoles, but it definitely works quickly and as intended. On the PS5, I heard some people had to select the proper sound/audio device, but mine was ready to go and I started up Nier:Automata and Sniper Elite 5. Both sounded great, especially Nier's mix of wilderness sounds, ambient music, and 2B's battling. Sniper, of course sounded great with good positional audio and voice delivery. Switching to Xbox was a non-event with another push of the button on the right earcup. As expected, everything sounded perfect with no flaws I could notice. The ease and convenience of switching systems was definitely appreciated. With Xbox (and Windows) you get Dolby Atmos which is nice in titles that take advantage of it. I didn't test Bluetooth, but note that the Bluetooth pairing is with the base station itself. So you're not going to be just taking the headset with you and gaming on your phone. You'll need the headset and the power brick for that. I get it since the base station is wired up with HDMI and other connectors, but I think Logitech may have missed a nice feature by allowing for BT natively in the headset. Conclusion ================================= Overall, if you can handle the price tag, these are some of the best gaming headsets I've had the pleasure of testing. I've used SteelSeries' top-of-the-line wireless along with RIG and "audiophile" headphones for gaming, and these might be the best of the bunch in terms of overall functionality. I don't feel like I'm missing out on much sound quality from my Beyerdynamic DT770s and I get the convenience of wireless, a great mic, and multi-system switching! If you have multiple systems and hate buying the "Xbox"-branded headsets only to find they won't work with your Playstation, well these Logitech A50 X LIGHTSPEEDs might be just what you need! Previously, I had to feed everything through my Yamaha receiver and use a pair of Sennheiser (RF wireless) headphones plugged into the headphone output to game seamlessly between systems. I do lean more towards gaming on PC and Playstation, so a two-system solution may have been acceptable, but Logitech went for it with support for all three. Having said that, do most people have their gaming systems all set up in the same place? I certainly don't so I'm lucky I was able to move my gaming laptop out to the living room to test this out. Normally, I'd have PC only in my office, with the consoles out in another room by the TV. Your mileage may vary on this point depending on your setup. Also, for more complex setups including receivers and HDMI matrix setups (yes, I use one for multi-screen in/out) this means a lot of HDMI 2.1 cables to get the maximum 4K HDR that the base station supports. The ease of use and ability to consolidate may have me re-thinking my setup. The Logitech A50 X would be a perfect way to control all the inputs in my office if I moved a console (or two) here. That's something that I'd never previously considered.

Out of the box you can feel the care and craftsmanship that went into this headset. It was very neatly packed and came with a charger along with not just the standard outlet for the US but also for European use. The dock is cool has the usual usb-c and hdmi connections on the back of the dock. It is easy to use (for both my Xbox series X and also my steam deck oled). What separates this from the other headsets that I own and use? For me it’s comfort. It feels so much better on my ears very soft! It has Pro-G graphene audio drivers and sound quality is impressive. I mentioned the hdmi 2.1 4k passthru (use it on my Xbox X) which makes the audio (24 bit) sound really great. I haven’t used the mic so can’t comment on that. The A50x supposedly has 24 hour battery but with the dock it’s never an issue anyway so that is not a problem. It doesn’t interfere with my other headset that my spouse used at the same time which is also a huge plus. Overall this is a great product by Logitech and worth the price just for comfort and sound alone to me at least.

TLDR: Great if all your gear is in one spot FEATURES The A50X ear cups are the softest and nicest cups I’ve used to date. Compared to every other headset I have, gaming, traveling, etc. these are the most comfortable headphones I have used, regardless of manufacturer. The foam surrounds and their cover material feel luxurious and do a great job of sealing out unwanted ambient sound. The A50X uses Logitech’s 40mm graphene drivers. Logitech claims their graphene drivers are ultra lightweight and with that “improve response, clarity, and sound localization”. Frequency response is rated at 20Hz to 20kHz, encompassing the entire frequency range for human hearing. This is uncommon, as most headphones struggle in the lowest octaves, which unfortunately, I find plague the A50X’s too. What doesn’t struggle is the excellent microphone Logitech has included. It is markedly clearer than any of my other gaming headsets. Even my Pro X 2’s. Frequency response is rated at 60Hz – 20kHz on the mic, but what can’t be listed on the specs sheet is how crisp and clear the vocals are. My gaming buddies immediately noticed how much clearer my voice was during gameplay. Excellent work Logitech. The A50X’s include all the necessary wireless protocols you would expect from Logitech. Bluetooth and Lightspeed are included. The Lightspeed tech is impressive. I found audio lag nearly non-existent using their high-speed proprietary protocol. Even better is that there is sufficient bandwidth to transmit audio up to 24-bits / 48kHz. Impressive. Add to that up to 24 hours of battery life and the headphones have a lot going for them. DOCKING STATION Logitech’s newest headphones take a novel approach to traditional gaming headsets. Using a unique docking station, Logitech combined the ability to plug nearly all your gaming peripherals into one device and allows the user to switch seamlessly between those devices. On the back of the docking station are 3 inputs: PC, XBOX, and PS5. The dock includes a USB-C input for a PC, and 2 HDMI 2.1 inputs with accompanying USB-C inputs for your gaming consoles, with a sole HDMI 2.1 output. All the specs are there for a great gaming experience. According the Logitech website, the docking station’s HDMI 2.1 ports support up to 40Gbs bandwidth, Auto Low Latency Mode, Variable Refresh Rate, and up to 24-bit audio. WOW! I can tell you that it works. Neither my PC, nor my Series X had any issues pushing a 4k 120Hz image through the dock to my gaming monitor. Users can easily switch the docking station between sources simply by pressing a button on the ear cup of the headphones. It works flawlessly. Anyone that is tired of having to re-pair headphones every time they switch between sources, will likely appreciate this feature. A user can go from gaming on a Series X, to using their headphones with their PC at the touch of a button, no longer fussing with unpairing and repairing the headphones with each source. SWEET! One thing that I have to mention, as I consider it very important, is that the docking station cannot be used without external power. The USB-C input connection must be connected to something that supports power delivery over USB-C. While Logitech includes a universal adapter in the box, you cannot connect the docking station to any laptop, computer, or game console and expect it to work. It must have USB-C power delivery and the device it connects to, if using the included USB-C to USB-A/C combination cord, should be connected to a minimum of a USB 3.0 port. Logitech warns against trying to using the docking station with a USB 2.0 port, as I am assuming it cannot supply data fast enough to the dock. SOFTWARE I am fortunate to have gaming headsets from nearly every major player in the field. Logitech’s G Hub software stands out as one of my favorites. It is minimalistic, simple, and easy to learn. It doesn’t try to be the end-all, be-all, one-stop-shop that all the others think they need to be. NEGATIVES One. My biggest complaint is not including noise cancelling tech into the headphones. As good as the earcups are at sealing against your head, they can’t compare to noise cancelling units. Users can never truly isolate themselves from their environment & even some of the smallest sounds intrude, limiting total immersion. Two. You can’t use the headphones without the dock. Not even for Bluetooth. If you want to use Bluetooth with the A50X’s, you have to pair the device with the dock. It isn’t a hard process and can be completed on the actual headphones themselves, but the fact you can’t use the headphones without the dock, is a buzz kill. I like to take a set of headphones with me while traveling, because of the dock limitations, it definitely will not be the A50X’s. On a positive note, I noticed no discernible lag over the Bluetooth connection when watching movies on my iPad. Three. There is no hardware-based surround sound built into the A50X’s. While the A50X’s are capable of Dolby Atmos playback, it is a full software-based solution (a license is included with purchase). Because of this, only PC and /or XBOX gamers and mobile users will get true Dolby Atmos playback back. PS5 users are limited to Sony 3D audio. Four. Logitech claims a frequency response that includes the full range of human hearing 20Hz – 20kHz. However, I find that the lowest octaves get muddied during reproduction. Whether it be PC gaming, Bluetooth music streaming, etc. the sound gets muddy at the bottom. Thankfully, the mids and high frequencies are much clearer and far more enjoyable with speech and vocals clear and intelligible. Five. I find the charging solution with the dock, quite fiddly. Once the A50’s are adjusted to my watermelon sized cranium, I can’t just walk by and place the headphones in the dock to charge. They never seem to just drop in and make contact with the 3 charging points. I have to work at getting them sized just right to make contact. CONCLUSIONS The A50X is a unique and novel approach to gaming headsets. As unique and unifying as the A50X’s are, they are equally as limiting. As far as gaming headsets go, these are a good piece of tech. If you have a set-up where all your gaming equipment is in one place, you would hard-pressed to find a better, easier, and more comprehensive solution. The docking station is a game-changer for those that have multiple gaming platforms. The ability to switch between inputs at the touch of a button from the headphones is awesome. Once you have it and try it, you will not want to go back to pairing and re-pairing devices. After just a few days of use, I already find it annoying, wishing other manufacturers would adopt Logitech’s approach. However, if you are a gamer on the go, these are not the product for you. Having to tote around the docking station and a bunch of different USB-C and HDMI cables are a deal breaker. Not being able to throw the A50X’s into a travel case and take them with me is a no-go. If you do a lot of traveling and gaming while on the road or in the air, I would look at a different solution, something like the equally excellent Logitech Pro X 2’s. Recommended, with limitations.

This is the third Astro headset I’ve had and I love them all. Very comfortable, good battery life, and great sound quality. I have had issues with lining it up on the dock properly to charge it so do be aware if you have a big head like me that the headset tends to stretch. But even then it usually only takes a bit of a wiggle to get it to charge

As an avid gamer and a user of Logitech and Astro products, I have been eagerly awaiting for the updated release of the new Logitech Astro A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless with PLAYSYNC Gaming Headset + Base Station. I'm thrilled to say that it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Firstly, the design for the most part has stayed the same since the Astros A50 ( Gen 4), but since Logitech acquired The headset is comfortable to wear, with the plush ear cushions and an adjustable headband that ensures a perfect fit. Since the headset is the same dimensions as the previous A 50’s, my A50 mod kit ear cushions work on these as well, which I highly recommend you adding, because they provide a tighter seal for your audio. Logitech have implemented their LIGHTSPEED technology into the headset for low latency wireless connection. The sound quality is nothing short of outstanding. The A50 X have added Logitech’s PRO-G GRAPHENE audio drivers, which offers groundbreaking clarity and response for precise audio separation, location, and timing accuracy. This allows for immersive audio that makes every gunshot, explosion, and footstep come to life. The 3D spatial audio technology is particularly impressive, allowing me to pinpoint the exact location of my enemies in games like Call of Duty: Warzone, Apex, and Fortnite. The headset also comes with Dolby Atmos, so if you are watching videos or movies that offer DOLBY Atmos, you will get the full 360 degree sound immersion experience. The Microphone has also received a much needed upgrade, with the addition of Logitech's Broadcast-quality mic that has 48 kHz full-bandwidth LIGHTSPEED mic uplink allowing new levels in wireless boom mic quality. The standout feature of this headset is the connectivity between consoles and PC. An issue that has plagued the video game community for some time now, is for those who have all the major consoles along with a PC, that are having to buy at least one headset for your PS5 and then a headset for your Xbox and PC. Logitech has finally fixed this problem with their updated Base Station with the introduction of PLAYSYNC. With a push of a button on the headset you can switch between your Xbox, PC and PS5. The base station now comes with 3x HDMI 2.1 ports: 2x HDMI 2.1 ports for your consoles, 1x USB-C to USB for your PC and 1x HDMI 2.1 out port that connects to your HDMI eARCH port on your TV. Setup is pretty straight forward in that you connect the Xbox’s 1x USB-C to the USB on your Xbox along with the HDMI from your Xbox to the Base Station and the same for the PS5. Then you connect the USB-C power adapter to an outlet and then the HDMI out port on the Base Station to the dedicated HDMI eARCH 120hz port on your TV. If this is a tad confusing for you Logitech provides detailed steps in the instructions. Logitech also has a step by step walk through video on their Youtube channel showing you what to do, which I highly recommend watching. That being said, depending on what brand TV you have, you might have to change some HDMI settings to allow the eArc passthrough to work and you might have to change some settings on your consoles to get everything to work correctly. Note: Unfortunately, Logitech does not include an additional HDMI 2.1 cable, so you will have to get another one for the HDMI out port for the base to the TV, and make sure it's a legit HDMI 2.1 cable, so you will get the 120Hz capabilities out of your consoles. A regular HDMI cable will work but you will be losing out on the performance. Another new feature to the A50 X, is the addition of Bluetooth, where you can now connect your phone to your headset, allowing you to playback audio and take calls through the headset. This has been a great addition in that I can now listen to podcasts through my headset while playing games and control the podcast audio from my phone and the game audio straight from the headset. My only complaint about this is that the Bluetooth chip is located in the base station, so you can’t go too far from that base station before you start having connection issues and it’s only about 20ft. So using the headset just with bluetooth is not an option and I wish they would have put the chip in the headset like they did with their A30’s, so if i'm on the go, I could just bring my headset and leave the dock behind. Another great addition with Logitech purchasing Astro, is that the A 50 X are now customizable in the Logitech Ghub software. In the Ghub software you can change your EQ and sound levels to your personal preferences. This is a great addition because you can now browse the community presets and see other peoples audio settings for specific games and have those settings auto default when you launch a game. There is also a smart phone app that you can download in the app store called “ Logitech G” where you can customize the audio settings for your PS5 and Xbox in the app via bluetooth. Overall, the Logitech - Astro A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless with PLAYSYNC Gaming Headset + Base Station is the must have headset for those who have more than one console and want a seamless transition between consoles and PC. Along with great audio, a clear microphone, great software and customization, you can not go wrong with picking up what I consider the best overall wireless gaming headset on the market now.

The Astro A50X takes everything that was wrong with the base A50 and fixes them all. This headset has the best comfort than every other headset on the market. If comfort is most important to you then look no further. This headset doesn’t slouch on quality of other features either! I love everything about this headset except the distance you can go away from the base station isn’t great. It can connect to your phone through Bluetooth. You can have both Bluetooth sound and game/voice chat at the same time. It is a fantastic premium headset with superior comfort. Recommend to anyone who wants high quality with superior comfort.

This is my first wireless headset for PC gaming, as I've always been the wired guy. I now have most of my stuff wireless, and this headset was my last thing. Amazing sounds, super comfortable, great battery life. My friends say my mic is just about the same quality as a Blue Yeti I have been using in the past, which was a surprise. Everything about this headset has been awesome except for the base. You would think you could just have a perfect fit, drop in charge every time I put it away, but not really. I don't know about others, but about half the time I put them in the base, they are not sitting correctly on the prongs in order to charge, so I have to fiddle with it, and then I will see the indicators that it's charging. You figure if it's molded to match the headset and just slide down onto the prongs that it would just fit and charge every time; that is not the case, as I've definitely a couple of times already just put it on the base and walked away, then the next time I went to use them again, I realized they hadn't been charging. You could probably get audiophile stuff that's better than this at this price point, but as far as the headset itself goes, I think it's amazing with a not-so-great charging base.

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.

Bought headset for PS5, great sound, easy to connect, great battery life and also very comfortable.

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.

I wouldnt trade for anything else. These are so easy to use and the build quality is really good. They dont hurt my ears of playing for hours, and they are really comfortable. The battery can last for days as of right now the last time i charged it was 4 days ago and its barely on 2 lights on the base, which means i got 2 or 3 days more of playing time. The audio quality is really good too especially playing games like Escape from Tarkov or Hell Let Loose where the footsteps from the enemy make a huge difference in your success. I 100% recommend.

I’ve used several different styles of gaming headsets and the Logitech A50X is among the best I’ve used. Wireless gaming headphones have revolutionized the way we gamers experience our favorite titles, offering unparalleled freedom of movement and convenience. The A50X sleek and cutting-edge setup provides immersive sound quality that enhances the overall gaming experience, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the virtual worlds I'm exploring. SETUP In order to take advantage of the highest levels of audio, you do have to utilize the HDMI ports. There is no HDMI cable included and HDMI 2.1 is what is required for the ultra HD audio resolution. Logitech provides a USB-C to USB-A cable and a combo cable. That’s what I ended up using. The single USB-C cable end plugs into the back of the base station while the two opposite ends (a USB-A and a USB-C) plug into the AC adapter and your computer, respectively. My computer recognized the new device instantly, and I didn’t have any issues using the headset. Even without the HDMI connection, the sound quality is exceptional. COMFORT The A50X headphones are extremely comfortable. The ear cushions are covered with fabric so they are completely breathable and I didn’t notice my ears getting overheated at all. I thought the controls were in a manageable spot and that the boom mic reached my mouth easily. The headband was a little stiff, but not what I would consider uncomfortable. AUDIO QUALITY The audio quality is superb through these headphones. I primarily played using the PC function and thought that the audio quality was above average for fps games. The mic quality is equally as good as the game audio. My teammates could hear me easily, and communicating with them wasn’t difficult at all. OTHER THOUGHTS It’s a little disappointing that there is no noise-canceling option, but the ear cups provide quite a bit of noise isolation on their own. You do have to have the base station in order for the headphones to work, but you can use these headphones with Bluetooth-compatible devices or hardwire them in. I noticed that as long as the base station has power, you can utilize the Bluetooth connection. SUMMARY The Astro A50 X Gaming headset is available in white or black and provides a premium listening experience for gamers regardless of their platform. There are a couple of drawbacks, but overall, these headphones provide great functionality for gamers.
