    This headset was pricey, $400 wow. However the microphone quality is that of the A40 TR wired, which is a great thing. It's one of the only wireless headsets that I've had that actually has great mic and sound quality, with the game/chat mix. I don't use the HDMI switcher function, but I use it straight with my PC. The bluetooth function works seamlessly with my phone while using it on my PC. I do have a weird issue when using the headset for the first time of the day, where I press the voice mix button once and it restarts after some nastly loud clicks, but I will try to contact logitech support about it since I've had it for about a year now. Every other issue I've had has been fixed with firmware updates from Logitech. I do wish it used the old ASTRO app instead of the heavyweight logitech g software, but it is what it is. The stock earcups are fine, but I replaced them with some aftermarket ones that make it a closed system and contain the sound better. I do also wish it didn't need to be plugged in with a special cable, but again, it is what it is. Being able to plug in if it dies is a great feature, although it hasn't died for me once yet, even after using it for 12-16 hours at a time for work or play.

    I like the overall fit sound and feeling of the headphones a lot of people say they have a lot of clamp which I can’t tell and I have a pretty big head the switching from game systems with the press of a button if very convenient but annoying because I have a computer and my ps5 is right beside it and you can only use one at a time and and I want to stream my ps5 to discord sometimes other than that the headphones have bluetooth last 24 hours and charge pretty quick and there’s also a port to play and charge at the same time. The cups fit nicely and very soft and you have a option to switch them out and get the mod kit I wish there was noise cancellation for how pricey the headphones are but they all around are great and some niche and really nice things I like about it the quality of the headphones scare me a bit cause they are all plastic and the headphones swivel points are metal but I had a old pair of a40 and they lasted me 10 years since 360 days so if you don’t rage or beat them up they’ll be fine they’re very good looking and also come with a app you can adjust your side tone microphone sound and adjust your eq for the best gaming experience

    I just upgraded from the Astro A40's with the mixamp to the wireless Astro A50's and I could not be happier. I can get the same sound quality I've grown to know and love without being limited or inconvenienced by a cord. The bluetooth range is excellent, I can go downstairs to make food or across my house to use the bathroom and still be within range. The wireless charging dock comes in clutch big time. I have never once had this headset die on me, the 24 hour charge goes wild. I leave mine on the dock overnight to charge and I'm good to play as long as I want to the next day. It took me a little while to get familiar with the voice to game ratio on the side but it makes a lot more sense having used it for a couple weeks. My only recommendation, if you are using this with an xbox series x, please purchase an additional hdmi cord that is high quality. They include everything else in the box with your headset but you'll need one from your xbox to your tv (will come with the xbox) and one from the wireless charging dock to the xbox. Setting up the cables was a bit confusing but they offer online tutorials for every console/pc set up you could be using this headset for. This is my first set of wireless headphones by astro and I'm convinced. I was already set on sticking to astro for any future purchases from their sound quality and comfort to wear, but after seeing what this wireless headset can do, I will only be upgrading with the next set of wireless astro upgrades after these become outdated beyond use.

    Tbh a very good headset that i would recommend to a gamer whos looking to get abit of quality and comfort. I recieved this headset as a gift from my girlfriend so no arguing from me on that but i do love this headset. I like that it can pretty much switch between different HDMI ports at a button, but at the cost of you needing 3 HDMI cables (to connect to your systems and to the tv of course). It was a bit of a pain to set up but after watching a youtube video on how to set it up, was very VERY helpful. So overall you do need 3 HDMI cables and 2 Usb C to A cables which i thought was disappointing that it didnt come with the headset in the first place seeing how much the headset is. But none of the less i do enjoy the headsets long battery life and the charging stand it comes with. So i would highly recommend this headset to a gamer who is dedicated to put in the hours or just to use for your game nights with the bois.

    Such a fantastic headset — a little pricey, but the comfort is top-notch. The battery life never fails me. The surround sound and audio quality make for very immersive gameplay. The convenience of being able to sit it on a charging dock when I’m done and not have to worry about any wires or cables is very nice. Definitely recommend.

    Bought the A50x as I have owned every generation of the A50 thus far and always enjoyed them. I have shyed away from Astro though in recent years to try other brands. The A50x was a iffy purchase for me not just because of its price but the horror stories online of it not working with certain monitors and or TV's. Also requiring a ton of cables for setup. I have a relatively clean minimalist setup and that really made me think long and hard. Ended up getting a set of the black model anyhow. Yes there are quite a few cables required for setup. I only have it connected to my PS5 and still have 4 cables coming out of the base station just to set it up properly. Also take into consideration that you will need to purchase an additional HDMI 2.1 cable as none are included and you need 2 for setup. I bought a 4ft Rocketfish 2.1 certified from Best Buy as well and it works perfectly. My monitor is the Asus Rog PG27AQDM OLED panel and i was nervous with it since I have read of issues with certain LG monitors and TV's and my Asus uses a modified LG panel. I either lucked out or my A50 base station has a new firmware as everything works perfectly just as it did prior to the A50. Some people have claimed their colors are duller or whatever but i have zero changes to my image quality. The A50 itself is just as comfortable as they have always been. Im debating on buying a set of Wicked Cushions for it but im not sure yet as the stock earpads are very nice. Sound is great to me right out of the box and my microphone comes across crystal clear according to those i have played with. Honestly very impressed with what Logitech has done with the A50. I mainly play shooters and its super easy to pinpoint enemies and other details with this headset

    Pretty good and versatile and in my opinion well worth the price. Sounds amazing, super clear and connects super fast just by turning them on. On the previous A-50’s one of the main problems I had with the Xbox was connecting them to use it, most occasions I’d have to reset and unplug the base station and connect to the headphones to the base stations multiple times just to get them to even work. Since this is made specifically for Xbox, it works flawlessly with the Xbox and it’s very nice that you’re able to connect and use multiple different platforms with it and switch between them with the click of a button but one issue I’ve had is that it will take multiple tries to get it to show anything with the ps5, on Xbox it’ll show picture while switching 100% of the time. App is okay, adds little customization and the ability to change the way it sounds and frequency’s to your preference but the app has a very long boot up intro, and having to connect it every time to the headset every time you want to use the app sucks, better off without the app. If you use a high end HDMI to the TV, it definitely makes a big difference resolution and sound wise so that is recommended, way better than when I had the Xbox and ps5 connected individually to separate HDMI ports although on setup it can be a little confusing and you need to have your own additional USB C cords on hand in order to connect other devices just so you know, in the box only 1 is included. For the price, I recommend it.

    This headset for me is perfect… However, the reason for that is due to me having an Xbox, PS5, and PC AND they’re all located close to each other. I have the Artic Pros from Steelseries however that only allows me to connect 2 of the 3 at a time. I do also love being able to connect via Bluetooth and take calls without needing to take off my headset The headset is amazing, but hard for me to justify the price… unless you have multiple systems. The headset itself is very comfortable, even for lengthy use. Mic quality is great. Software is easy to use. I also added the white Wicked Cushions. Would definitely recommend adding to your headset both aesthetically, comfort and performance boost

    This headset is perfect if you game at a desk using a monitor. Because the stand is a HDMI switcher it’s not practical for a lot of living room TV applications. The HDMI switcher works phenomenally. I have both a Xbox Series X and PS5 and it seamlessly switches the video and audio feeds. The chat mixer is a little weird to adjust mid multi-player match. Sound quality is great and the microphone is amazing. If you have a desk gaming setup with multiple consoles 10/10 highly recommend.

    I fell in love with the A50’s and with next gen gaming removing the optical audio port, the sound quality declined exponentially. After trying Turtle Beach, Steel Series, Hyper X, and Astros A30’s, nothing could replace or compare to the experience of Astro A50’s and the charging system or flawless connectivity. Forget every wireless via dongle system with the countless unplug and plug back in reboots. When I heard the news that Astro would release the A50X’s, I was ecstatic. The only con of this headset is the price. After watching a few extensive review videos I came to the understanding of the price difference from previous generations and the new tech in this package. This docking system has a splitter to where if you have a Xbox series X, a PlayStation 5, and a PC, with the button on the side of the headset you can quickly switch sources. In my personal opinion, for Xbox series X, this headset is worth the investment for comfort, sound quality, and not a single wireless connectivity issue whatsoever. If you have two of the supported systems, I would say it is more valuable. If you have all three: Xbox, PlayStation, and a PC, it is one hundred percent worth the money. One headset for three platforms, with easy access between the three. No more buying a new headset for when you switch consoles or PC. I sold my method of transportation to buy this and I can’t leave the house now. I guess I didn’t plan on ever leaving the house again after securing this headset.

    Coming from a set of second generation A50s, these are good, but not great for the price-point. I’d do some research and shop around before pulling the trigger on these. The audio is marginally better than my older set, but the truly terrible software issues, lack of support and iffy Bluetooth have me rethinking the purchase. My other sets of Astros were very simple to setup with the Command Center control software used to adjust audio settings and set up sound profiles for different applications. Thats what you would expect from a mid/high tier headset in this category. Setting up the A50x to even work at all was a nightmare. Logitech G-Hub is a step backwards from the more user-friendly Command Center, which itself had crippling issues later on in the Astro lifecycle. I’ve been using Astros for years and I wouldn’t recommend this particular model until they’ve had time to work out the kinks. Wait for a sale or a more stable patch cycle, if anything.
