QuestionDoes these headphones work for PS4 ? In Astros website they give you options to choose what console and this one does not give an option.
Asked 4 years ago by billy.
- Answer 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.

QuestionWill this be compatible with playstation 5?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer 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.

QuestionSo there are 3 versions (correct me if am wrong) Ps4, Xbox, and one that isn’t for any but is compatible with Pc like this one. Can this specific headset be compatible with ps4 even if it’s not the ps4 version?

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.

QuestionDo these the astro A50 use a mixamp? For audio
Asked 5 years ago by Nate.

QuestionWill it be quick to use? I've read/seen that it Might have to be setup with a computer or app, so can we skip all that and use it right away?
Asked 3 years ago by JustaBoy.
- Answer Honestly, you could use it straight out of the box but I recommend that you do complete the setup through the computer. I started to use mine without the setup and it works fine but my teammates would always complain about how low I sounded and that I sounded super far so I’d say just to do the setup.

QuestionDo the astro A50 wireless work for the PlayStation 5? If so I would buy them for the PS5
Asked 4 years ago by Andy.
- Answer These certainly will work with PS5 as well. Last Gen consoles utilized audio passthrough by optical cable and can now accomplish surround sound through usb!

QuestionCan the A50 be charged without having to use the console? If so, what can I use?
Asked 4 years ago by Gerry.
- Answer I assume you mean the base when you say "console". There is a micro USB port on the bottom next to the contact pads for charging on the base. I briefly plugged it in that way, and it seemed to work as a charger. If so, I will be using that going forward, as the base as a charger is stupidly horrible design.

QuestionCan I listen to my tv with these headphones
Asked 5 years ago by Jim.
- Answer Yes. As long as you connect the charging base which acts as the wireless hub to your tv. You will have to connect the Optic cables for the tv + base plus power on the base by connecting via USB port. If your TV does not have optic outputs then this will not work. When connecting your device to the PS4, you will only be able to access any and all content from your PS4 wirelessly when it comes to audio.

QuestionBought this for my son a few months ago and all of a sudden it’s buzzing so badly. Did a factory reset and it’s worse. Anyone else have this problem?
Asked 2 years ago by Toni.
- Answer I have not, but my recommendation would be to contact astro as they potentially have seen this issue on a larger scale. It could potentially be the cable and since its a non-standard 3.5mm cable they may send you one for free and from my experience they should send it to you for free if youre still under warranty.
