- Quickstart Guide
A: Yes it does. I just got them today in the mail and it said “Xbox one” on them so I was kinda upset because I thought I would have to exchange them. But there’s a switch on the back to change it from Xbox one to PC mode and it works with PS4 on PC mode.
Q: Will this be compatible with playstation 5?
A: It’s going to work a little differently depending on which system you opt for, as well as by headset model. Wired sets like the A10, A40, and A40TR will continue to use the 3.5mm port on both the Xbox and PlayStation controllers. Wireless rigs like the A20, the MixAmp Pro TR, and A50 Wireless will work via USB with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X; the latter system requires the headset to download a firmware update. For a full audio mix on the PS5, gamers will need to pick up an HDMI adapter from the company’s website for $40.
A: I had the same question myself, but luckily this video answered just about all of them. Hope this helps! Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u6QiVRsWOE
A: There are only 2 versions for gen 4 astro A50. PS4 version and XBOX ONE version, both compatible with pc. Model number 939-001673 is ps4/pc version (black) and model number 939-001680 xbox (gray). Both have a switch at the back of base station for console or pc. This headset is great Only downside is the price.
Q: Do these the astro A50 use a mixamp? For audio
A: The mixamp is combined into the base station where you dock the headset. Therefore, you can do mixamp type things on the right ear cup of the headset such as balance game/chat sound and master volume.
Q: Are these A50s gen 4? I’m asking because I also want the mod kit that goes with this headset.
A: Yes they are the Gen 4.
Q: Would these work with an iPhone wirelessly?
A: No they are not Bluetooth they are wireless. They use a transmitter from pc or console to headphones
Q: What's the difference compared the the current A50's?
A: Longer battery life, better audio, Dolby atmos, stronger build.
