Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Very comfortable, battery 10/10, previous headset couldnt use a few hours this one can use all day whitout having any pain in my ears

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.

Overall a very good headset, they are super comfortable. The only problem I have had is they caused an issue between my PS5 and TV that caused me to factory reset them. The mic quality is very good as well.

To start, the microphone is the best you can get on a headset. That’s not even debatable. The sound is good, I do think my gen 4 were better in the audio department but by no means are they bad. They are very clean and sharp sounding. I also find them very comfortable. However, at this price it’s Insane. They are without t a doubt the best headset you can get when it comes to audio and mic quality combined. If you have the money and want the best then go for it but there are some flaws. The Bluetooth connection does not have good distance. I would say 15-20 feet and the same thing applies for the wireless connection. The software is way better than the old Astro command center, it now uses g hub. All of the base station issues from the prior gen seem to be gone.

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.

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.

This headset is handsdown one of the best ive ever used. Sound quality is amazing for fps games like Call of Duty. Love the aspect that to charge it, you just place it on the base station. Lastly, having a lifetime subscription on the device to Dolby Atmos is amazing. Improves the sound a lot.

I've been using a Sony Pulse 3D headset for my PS5 since I got the console. This unit comes with a HDMI passthrough base that easily connects the headset to two different consoles using HDMI as well as a computer via USB. You can change the audio and video channel via a small button on the headset. My current setup is a PS3, a PS5 and my PC. Works flawlessly and no problem setting it up. The mic goes into mute when the boom is flipped up, which is a nice feature. I have to say that the earcups are super plush and a nice soft fabric. Much better than most other brands. I have a larger head - I wish it was slightly larger, but still fits and the sound is absolutely incredible. It converts the PS3 audio to a quasi-surround sound and the bass is incredible. If this unit fits into your budget, I highly recommend it.

For a headset that was egregiously priced higher after only being out for a year. Which is odd that the gaming industry is the only industry to increase price in such a short amount of time after being sold to the public. The headphones immediately sound absolutely perfect. Although the last gen headset sounded kinda funny when you put the mic up to your mouth it sounded like your a helicopter pilot. Although the comfort is not all there i had to buy after market headset pads to are cooling gel and much kinder on the ears. I like that you dont have to connect the base station to a laptop to do firmware updates it can get updates via wifi in the dedicated app (super cool). Now the biggest grip and the reason why i have rated these headsets so low is that if you plan on hooking this uo via hdmi for that 24 bit audio instead of usb for that 16 bit audio get ready to have the worst experience ever not only do they not provide you with an hdmi cable to even attempt this you have to make sure you get the most new version of it hdmi 2.1 when using in xbox series x ina 4k samsung tv switching between a streaming app or game will cut the aufio and visual for either 1-10 minutes and no amount of updates has fixed said issue. I would imagine after a year and probably not being the only one experiencing this they would figure out a way to fix this i have found ways to help mitigate the frustrating transition but nothing permanent as is to switch between sources eventually getting back to xbox on the base station..

It's perfect un the performance and sound. Very comfortable and made with quality material

It works amazing I have been using it non stop I can hear everything when it comes to gaming, sound quality is phenomenal and the battery life last long, over all very good headset

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.

Sound great, comfort and long battery life, last for a long time

The headset sounds great and is comfortable for long play sessions. If you’re on the fence about whether or not the quality is there or not, it is. They add a level of immersion on first person shooters and in my opinion an advantage compared to having another headset or just playing with out one. The dock works great. Your headset is always charged when you’re ready to go again. However, the dock is what really gave me trouble. You need to make sure your monitor, if you’re gaming on a monitor, that it is compatible to play at whichever settings you wish to play. The dock while it is compatible to some extent with my monitor did not pass through 4k or even 1440P at 120 hz. I was about to return them when I figured out the dock could only output 1080P 120hz because of my monitors “limitations” truth be told the dock isn’t optimized for the monitor and would not function properly. I had a lot of black screens and delays with my gaming sessions. It was truly a night mare. While I did love the headphones, because when they worked the were solid, I decided to not return them and plug them into a different higher end monitor and they were able to do the pass through just fine using high speed 2.1 hdmi cables (which you also have to buy or have handy). So yeah, it was a pain but if you have the right set up compatible with the headphones. Go for it. My monitor was a Samsung g5. If it’s all you have, stay away. If you have something on the higher end then by all means.

These headphones were a huge disappointment. While they worked, they worked extremely well. The sound quality was great, the noise reduction was very effective, and the ear cushions were incredibly comfortable for long listening sessions. I also really liked that simply lifting the mic up would silence the audio. For a while, they felt completely worth the price. Unfortunately, over time they stopped charging altogether. Now when placed on the dock, they will not charge at all, despite there being no visible damage to the headphones or the charging contacts. For such an expensive product, I expected them to last far longer than a year, especially with normal use and no damage. To make matters worse, my Best Buy coverage had expired by the time this issue occurred, so I’m left with a very expensive pair of headphones that are essentially unusable. It’s incredibly frustrating because there is so much to like about these headphones, but reliability at this price point is non-negotiable, and they simply did not hold up. Disability context: The comfort, noise reduction, and hands-free silencing were especially helpful as someone with disabilities, but the charging failure makes them unreliable for anyone who depends on consistent, accessible tech.

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.

Love the sound coming out of these. The comfort A++, light weight yet durable not like those turtle beach 700 that stop working after 6months. ****buy the additional short high rate hdmi****

Great sound, Microphone and battery life. Completely mind blowing.
