Horrible. They feel cheap, they don't really form to your head, they're incredibly bulky and super expensive.

I never got the item so not very happy about that.

Charging design is fundamentally flawed. I don’t understand why LG keeps this design. Headset never wants to charge and always says 100% charged in the app even when the battery is dead or near dead. Do yourself a favor and stick to steel series.

Quality is not worth the price I have some old A40s that sound way better than this junk. Unbelievable

The A50X headset delivers stunning audio immersion and clarity, in a design that lets you wear them for long periods of time with no fatigue. Out of the box you can feel the sturdiness of the design of both the headset and base, while noticing how lightweight they’ve kept the headset. The base station is where everything happens, more on that in a minute, and you get the headset and then almost all the cables you’ll need to fully realize the audio. You will need to supply your own extra 2.1 HDMI cable if you want to experience Dolby Atmos. The base station is sturdy and acts as the charger for the headset, as well as controlling most of the tech. It has a deep cradle where the headset sits, and it only orients one way, the microphone needs to be placed on the left side (facing) or it won’t dock. Not really an issue, you get used to it after a few tries. You can easily see the bright display of how much charge you have remaining and which device the headset is trying to communicate with (Xbox, PS5 or PC.) There are a lot of cables, so it’s not the cleanest setup ever, so be prepared for some cable management. ***First thing you need to do is connect the unit to a PC and download the latest firmware*** Normally that’s a given for other types of tech gear, but it wasn’t something I thought of initially with the A50X. I learned very quickly that something wasn’t going to plan, so updating the firmware was the next step. I was having audio drops, cracks, no 4K passthrough and the Dolby Atmos license wouldn’t validate, etc. Updated to the latest firmware and then set up the A50X to both an Xbox Series X and a PC using the detailed instructions given by Logitech and things were much better. You need to follow the instructions exactly. Seems odd given that these are just a pair of gaming headphones, but there’s a lot of tech going on in here, mainly the base station, and missing one small step will limit them severely. If you want to use the Dolby Atmos, you must use the included USB cable from your device to base station, and then use the included HDMI cable to your device and then your own HDMI cable to your TV/Monitor. I found that always powering on the base station and headset after the device (Xbox/PC) is best but not always required. The Dolby Atmos license is lifetime with the A50X and the handshake will happen once your device recognizes the headset using the USB cable, you have the Dolby Atmos app downloaded and an internet connection. It also allows for 4K 120hz passthrough, and the latest firmware fixes issues with LG monitors (something else I had issue with earlier before I updated) and most of the time that works perfectly also. I do find however that from time to time I need to power cycle the base station, to resolve either Dolby Atmos not recognizing the license, because it appears this handshake has to happen every time, and sometimes passthrough not working as expected. But always, a quick power cycle alleviates the issues, just sort of a hassle to need to do that at all. The sound quality is amazing. Since these use Logitech’s “Lightspeed” technology, connection is immediate with never any lag. Using Bluetooth is great, although you won’t get the Atmos sound, but it’s by far the best sounding Bluetooth gaming headset I’ve used. Now the Bluetooth is received into the base station, not the headset directly, so keep that in mind. These won’t be the best for travel or using too far away from the base station, but the sound is crystal clear, amazing highs and lows and no cracks or pops. Using Dolby Atmos really takes it up a notch. The immersion that the A50X places you in is incredible. You hear things as almost as if you’re in the environment. Whether it’s gaming, watching a movie, etc. the nuances of the sound around you, above and below you, is just fantastic. The A50X have a pretty balanced sound profile, so bass is even and clear, not muddy and highs are clear and precise, not too abrasive. You can also modify the sound profiles using the Logitech Hub app or the Dolby Atmos app on your device. You can tailor to a more bass heavy or clearer communication profile, suited to whatever your situation requires. I prefer more bass, and the A50X never distorts or gets muddy, thanks to the increased driver size. I will say volume seems to max out on me where I’d like to have a little bit more, but not a big deal. The soft foam ear cushions are enjoyable, and I’ve not had ear fatigue one time while wearing them, and I wear eyeglasses. They are sturdy but lightweight and will fit all types of head shapes. The microphone is nice, long, and super flexible to get just the right position, and the mic quality is crystal clear while gaming and could even be used on meetings or video voiceover, it’s really good. And when you have multiple devices connected, the switch button located on the earpiece jumps you to the next device seamlessly with no issue. The A50X headset is the new king of the hill when it comes to Dolby Atmos gaming!

Headset is good, but right ear stopped working as soon as I opened the product

The Logitech Astro A50X wireless gaming headset is a fantastic headset that is packed with features, while only having a few minor issues. The A50x is a wireless headset compatible with PS5/Xbox/PC/bluetooth. It features a 24 hour battery and charging base station which connects to consoles via HDMI and/or USB, and PC via USB only. Setup can vary from simple to complicated depending on how many systems you’re connecting, whether you have a receiver, etc. My setup was moderately complex, but overall not hard at all. If you want to get the full potential out of this headset, you will want to connect your PS5 and/or Xbox using the HDMI connections. It is possible, and much simpler, to just connect via USB, but you will not get the best audio quality out of your system, and on PS5, you will lose the ability to adjust mic/game volume independently. So I would suggest just going ahead and connecting up via HDMI. Keep in mind, they do not include an HDMI in the box, so you will need at least one extra high speed HDMI to connect from the base station to your TV or receiver. I really wish they had included an HDMI. It seems like an easy enough inclusion to get the full potential out of the product. Once everything is all hooked up, you do a few simple adjustments in the console settings to make sure audio is all being routed correctly. They offer both instructions and videos on their website and make it pretty simple to follow. Once you have that all set up, you use the headset itself to cycle through the different inputs. Once you turn the headset on, your console automatically switches to headset output. And once you turn it off, it automatically switches back to TV or Receiver output, which just passes through the base station straight to your tv or receiver. It is compatible with 4k 120hz signals if you use the correct cables, so you don’t have to worry about losing any kind of functionality with this headset. Now, getting to the actual sound quality of this headset, it is absolutely amazing. If you have ever used Astro A40 or A50s before, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. They are some of the best sounding headsets I have ever used. And they are quite comfortable as well. I have larger than average ears, and usually most ear cups are a bit small for me and cause irritation after too long, and thats including previous A50 models. But these new A50x, I think they slightly increased the ear cup size, because they actually fit around my ears and are much more comfortable. I can wear these for hours and my ears do not get fatigued. Overall, this is the best sounding, most comfortable headset I have ever used. Now, there are a couple of quirks that just take away from the overall experience. For one, the setup can be a bit of a hassle, but I’ve already touched on that a bit, and it definitely will vary from person to person. Second, the bluetooth integration is just OK. I almost feel like it was just thrown in to check a feature off the list. The reason I say this is because the actual bluetooth receiver is located in the base station, and not in the headset itself. This means that the headset, and your bluetooth device need to remain in proximity of the base station. So forget about using the headset as a pair of headphones for your phone outside of the house or anything. Lastly, this one is one of those small inconveniences that is small enough to not matter, but big enough worth mentioning. Let’s say you want to play a game but aren’t going to use your headset. You want to play PS5, but the last game you played was XBox. You turn your PS5 on, TV on, set everything to the correct input. Sit down on your couch, but your PS5 is not showing up on your TV. Well, then you remember that you have to use your headset (even though you aren’t using it right now) to switch inputs to PS5. So you have to get back up, go press the little input switcher on the headphones to switch to PS5. Again, small inconvenience, and one that I’m sure I will get used to over time, but for now, switching inputs using my headset is not something I actively think about, especially if I’m not planning on using my headset for this particular gaming session. It just seems like there could have been a more elegant solution to passthrough HDMI when the headset isn’t even turned on. In conclusion, the Astro A50X is a fantastic gaming headset which can be used with PS5/XBox/PC/Bluetooth. The base station acts as an HDMI splitter/switcher to make switching between sources as seamless as possible, although there are still some minor quirks with this method. Bluetooth was a questionable inclusion, but I guess it’s nice to have the option for those that would appreciate it. And most importantly, this headset features the high quality I have come to expect from Astro. It is a welcome addition to my gaming setup, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a headset that works across platforms.

Could not get firmware to update properly so the headset wouldn't work properly for my system

Sound quality was awful. No matter how I tried to adjust it everything was out of balance. Setup was also overkill requiring you to use hdmi causing input lag on screen.

I got my Astro A50 X Lightspeed gaming headset several days ago and I have really been enjoying them. I have had the good fortune to have owned several high quality headsets over the years and these are among the best I have ever used. This headset is impressive in several areas. Initial impressions were good before I even hooked it up. Construction is solid yet flexible and very comfortable. The ear pads are breathable and don’t cause me any sweating. They are also easily removable as they are held in place via magnets. I love the ones that came with the set but you can easily swap them out with a variety of aftermarket options. Overall the headphones are a bit heavy but the padding along the top strap helps. Overall they feel very solid and adjust to fit on my larger than average head perfectly. My girlfriend also has no issue wearing these, and it has to adjust down quite a bit to fit her. Buttons for volume, Bluetooth, power and adjusting modes are easy to find. The microphone is completely adjustable as it bends anyway you want. The base feels solid and looks nice as well. I plugged it in and got the headphones all charged up before I went on to the next step. Installation had a bit of a hiccup. Following Logitech Support's video I first attempted to hook up my PS5. I am an active gamer but not a tech savant at all. I got mostly complete till I was asked to change my TV to a setting it doesn’t support. However after rebooting the PS5 and turning the TV off and on it all worked. I then went to hook up my PC but it appears to hook both up as intended they need to be close enough to both plug into the base. My 2 devices are not that close so I hooked the PC up via Bluetooth and it works wonderfully. Now for the real question, how do they sound? Well I would say in a word, fantastic! The bass quickly got my attention as the first thing I heard was a bass heavy song playing thru NBA2k24 on my PS5. Sounds are crisp and clear. I have a pair of Sony headphones that have some amazing 3D spatial audio that in some ways is superior to these headphones. But overall I think I like these the best. The battery life is amazing. They claim 24 hours, and that may be true. I set them on the charging base at night but that first day I gamed all day long and they were still holding a good charge. To start using them I just pull them off the base and turn them on. The PS5 sound automatically goes thru the headphones. I turn them off and it reroutes to the speakers. Switching to the PC just requires me changing the output on the PC to the headphones. I believe if I had been able to hardwire both to the base it would work even better with just one touch of a button on the headphones. I also tested them out for taking phone calls and they really excel in this area. Very easy to hear and understand on both ends of the call. If I’m gaming on the PS5 I can just connect my phone via BT and take a call at the touch of a button. I have had zero issues thus far disconnecting during a call. All in all I love this device. Incredible sound and comfort with fantastic battery life and a clean looking charging base. They are a bit pricey but compare well with other product in a similar price range. If you are looking for some high quality headphones I would highly recommend checking these out. I would absolutely recommend these to a friend.

So I received my Logitech Astro A50X Lightspeed Wireless with PLAYSYNC Gaming Headset + Base Station a few days ago and have been putting it through its paces. Logitech has always been one of my favorite tech accessory companies for years and they seem to only keep getting better. I can’t ever remember a Logitech product that I’ve owned over the years that wasn’t of quality and performance, which is why I have high regards for this company. They’ve never let me down and I expected the same with this headset. Now according to the packaging, this headset is compatible with XBOX SERIES X|S, Playstation 4/5, PC|Mobile. They are rated at having a battery life of 24 hours which is amazing. And with the connected base, you can ensure your headset remains charged and ready on the go when you’re ready for a gaming sesh. Upon opening the box, you’re greeted with: * Logitech Astro A50X Wireless Gaming Headset * A50X HDMI Base Station * USB-A to USB-C Cable * Combo Cable * AC Adapter & Regional Socket Adapters * Dolby ATMOS Authentication Card * User Documentation Now when you’re ready simply follow along with the instructions by way of the Logitech link or the QR code thats on the inside of the box which directs you to Logitech’s support page via YouTube videos to get started. Once you’re connected via the console of your choice, you’re good to go. I connected this headset to my PS5 and just as I expected: SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!! This headset first of all is so easy to use and sounds great at everything you throw at it. Aside from the amazing sound quality, I love that this headset is not covered with a million and one different buttons, that I’ve seen in other headsets. On the right ear cuff, is the power button, the PLAYSYNC button, Bluetooth button, and Volume scroll wheel. Also on the bottom of the right ear cuff is a USB-C port for a wired connection. On the left ear cuff is the Microphone arm that turns on when it’s in the down position. The up position mutes the mic. I really love this headset. Hands down, this is the best headset on the market in my opinion. The Base Station has an LED panel on the front that shows you which system you’re currently using and bluetooth status. On the back of the panel is the HDMI/USB-C ports for XBOX, PS5, PC, and HDMI Out. My faves about this headset is that you can wear it for extended periods without any pain or pressure that some gaming headsets are known for. As I stated earlier, the sound quality was amazing and very immersive in my experience. Another perk that I love, which I’ve started to see in other tech products lately is the inclusion of the different regional socket/outlet adapters. This makes it easy on the consumer so you’re not running back out to the store for different adapters/connectors for your specific country. This is an amazing headset and you won’t regret it.

By far the most overpriced and overhyped piece of tech I purchased in the last 5 years. I returned day one and have no regrets.

If you use discord and want game audio and discord audio ro work seemlessly loo elsewhere. The drivers for this thing are terrible

The Logitech Astro A50 X Lightspeed Wireless PlaySync Gaming Headset + Base Station for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC/Mac is designed for those interested in multi-platform gaming. The base station included with the headphones is basically a hub where you connect your PS5, Xbox and PC/Mac gaming devices. You then hook up a HDMI 2.1 cable (not included) out from the base station to your display. This then serves as your Ultra HD pass-thru for all of those devices. Now you can easily and quickly switch between your gaming platforms with the click of a button on the cup of your headphones! The Logitech Astro A50 X headphones are remarkably light and comfortable. I find I can wear them for many hours of gameplay without sweaty or painful ears because they don't have vinyl or "leather" cups. Designed with a boom microphone that goes on when you flip it down and off when you flip it back up, my friends tell me they hear me very well. Logitech claims up to 24 hours of gameplay but unfortunately, I cannot speak to that because I place them back on the base station for automatic charging whenever I take them off my head - it is a convenient stand for me and they cling to the stand magnetically. The sound from these headphones is outstanding - it is clear and precise. The sound is so clear in fact, when I am not gaming, I use the bluetooth to listen to music. Absolutely full sound - incredible actually. They have LIGHTSPEED wireless and if that means they should stay connected to WiFi, it certainly works. I have not experienced any drops or stutters with these. This Logitech Astro A50 X lightspeed wireless gaming headset and base station for PS5, Xbox and PC/Mac are absolutely terrific headphones in every way for me. If you do multi-platform gaming and want to be able to quickly switch from one to another with outstanding clarity, these headphones and the accompanying base station are for you!

Absolutely no noise cancellation. The volume is very low at the highest you can get it. I have a PS5 and this headset does not compare to the Steel Series Pro. Not even half as good. Not worth the money.

The side that holds the ear muff broke after 1 week of use. It was only ever bent to put on my head.

Bluetooth connecting does not always connect and always disconnects during gameplay and it gets super annoying over time.

This headset is amazing, but the overall outside of the headset is not broke within a week they need to remove the top tab on the very top part of microphone

They keep disconnecting from the Xbox and of course I'm outside of the return window.

These have no better sound than my Steel Series Pro Wireless. You need multiple hdmi’s plugged into this base which makes it hard to put anywhere since hdmi is much thicker than USB-C. It doesnt atuo detect what device is connect very well. My current headset switches flawless. If your a casual gamer there is no need for these.
