Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Absolutely worth it! The Logitech Astro A50 X is hands down one of the best gaming headsets I’ve ever owned. The sound quality is incredible—super clear highs, deep bass, and amazing surround sound that really helps in competitive games. The LIGHTSPEED wireless connection is flawless with zero noticeable lag, and switching between Xbox, PS5, and PC is insanely convenient. The comfort is a huge plus. I can wear these for hours without any pressure or discomfort, and the build quality feels very premium. The base station is sleek, easy to use, and charging is effortless—just dock it and you’re good to go. The mic quality is also excellent; teammates say I sound clear and natural every time. Yes, it’s a bit of an investment, but you truly get what you pay for. If you’re serious about gaming and want top-tier audio, comfort, and convenience, this headset is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!

Comfortable, great battery life. And deep immersive sound stage. On Xbox you need to go Into audio settings and uncheck some options that isn’t really listed in the setup guide. You might have to update your firmware by connecting to a pc first. Also the setup guide is a QR code that is a broken link and Logitech has a bad website. Those are knocks against Logitech not the product

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.

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.

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

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!!

Has great sound. One of the best headsets ive owned to date. I had the Astro A40s prior and A50s. These surpass by a mile. Super light weight compared to the rest of the headsets ive used. The battery is insane as well. I easily play all day without a charge. If your a gamer and need a headset for top quality. This is definitely the one. Definitely worth the bang for your buck

Fantastic headset with excellent sound quality and comfort. Wireless connection is rock solid and the audio is clear with strong bass. Battery life is great and the dock makes charging super easy. One of the best gaming headsets I’ve owned.

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.

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

Most comfortable, longest lasting battery, great build quality. You get what you pay for. Very quick connecting to everything.

Easiest setup from other generations!! On the fly switching from pc to xbox makes it way better than having to flip a switch on the base station!!! Long battery life and comfortable

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great headset, easily the best I’ve had. A bit expensive, especially if you don’t plan on using the HDMI splitter function of the base. That said if you choose to make this bigger purchase it’s definitely worth it. Everything is very seamless to use and the sounds are crisp and clear.

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.

Best headset on the market. Has chnaged the game play experience 10 fold. I used to have the old astro A50. But thrse are just so much easier. No connection issues. They just sound better. Fit more comfortable
