    Poor build quality for a headset with this pricetag. Within 2 weeks of receiving the headset, the boom mic just falls down and has completely destroyed the sound quality of the mic. The ability to adjust the EQ wirelessly is a nice addition along with the ability to switch between devices and simultaneously connect via bluetooth to my phone. I would say the sound quality itself is about the same as its predecessor. The setup with the PS5 is a pain and I would suggest to NOT follow what the guide says. I will be returning this headset.

    A great headset but for some reason I was sent a used headset instead of a new one, even though I bought new. I went into the store and they swapped it out for me no problem but the swap was to white instead of black because they didn't have black in stock. That was the reason I ordered from the site instead in the first place. I like to think it was an honest mistake as I but a lot of stuff at BestBuy and nothing like this has ever happened before.

    Absolutely love the next gen a50’s. My only complaint is that there’s now more cables I just run with the base station plus I had to get another hdmi 2.1 cable. Other than that the app for iOS runs very well and the headset connects to everything with ease. Overall I recommend this headset especially if you play a lot of shooters like COD, Halo, and Fortnite.

    These sounds great and have all the right features. Unfortunately, for some reason they shrunk the earpad opening vs the previous version. It made things uncomfortable for me. On top of that there was a constant white noise that you can hear when on a phone call or when your volume is low. For $380 I can’t let these things slide. I returned it.

    Comfort, sound great, may not work on LG for now

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Note: Currently might not output 4k 120hz on LG Tvs or monitors but should be fixed with a firmware update soon. If you have Sony, Samsung, or other branded TVs and monitors like Asus, MSI, Alienware then you should be good. Extremely comfortable, earcups feel like soft clouds. The material is cloth which I like because pleather makes your ears sweat. Sound is very good, the app lets you adjust sound for each game on PC and then it saves for each game on PC and console. Microphone sounds very crisp, not much noise cancellation but there is a mode in the app to drown out some background noise. Dolby Atmos works great even on PS5. To connect to PS5 it took a bit of work as I had to boot the console on safe mode in 1080p and then adjust the picture in 4k which isn’t really a big deal but PS5 is sometimes weird with non Sony products. I had tons of headsets, some may sound a bit better especially the open back headsets but they are not as comfortable or are too heavy, these sound great and have a solid smooth bass where other headsets I had were a bit shaky and painful in heavy bass, I can even hear footsteps without having to turn the bass down like on other headsets so you can still enjoy the game sounds and still hear opponents, these also feel so much better on your ears than any headset we ever had. The game chat mix is on the side so you can instantly lower the chat sound during the game. It also has simultaneous Bluetooth so you can listen to music from your phone or take calls, while playing games like Madden or 2k. They are expensive so maybe try to trade in some old stuff or find a coupon. Pro: Comfort, sound, microphone sound, features, EQ settings, battery life, simultaneous bluetooth, comfort again (seriously I used to just think that you had to settle for heavy or uncomfortable headsets or use earbuds but these feel so good) Cons: Expensive, might not get 4k 120hz with LG, to connect with PS5 it requires to boot the console in safe mode for the initial setup (not a big deal but Astro never mentions this, I had to research this myself)

    Finally, the Astro A50 for all the gaming systems. Not just one or the other, but literally Xbox, PlayStation and PC all in one. Then, to add on to that, it also has Bluetooth support so you can connect your phone or any other device as well. I do find it kind of odd that is says “+Base Station” because this headset will not work without it, so it is kind of essential and not really a “plus” or additional thing. One thing to keep in mind, if you intend to use all these systems, you will need 1 additional HDMI and 1 additional USB-A to USB-C cable. It acts kind of like a receiver on its own where you hook HDMI from your Xbox/PlayStation to the base station, then HDMI from it to your Monitor/TV and then USB from the PC/Xbox/PlayStation for the rest of the audio settings. However, it has the split power/USB that works for the PC and one USB-A to C cable for 1 other device. Considering you also need to access the base station for charging, this might entail a fair bit of new wire management for you. Once you have it all connected, to switch from device to device is simply a press of a button on the headset. Which can also be an accidental press taking you out of your game completely as it switches the video source as well for the consoles. Also, the Bluetooth option is actually to the base station. So, it’s not like you can just use these headphones around the house and keep listening to the phone in your pocket as it doesn’t have the greatest range. However, for your normal sitting at the PC/Console playing games, this headset is amazing. What could make it even better is if you could listen/speak to 2 sources at once, like Xbox/PC, but having the Bluetooth play along the whole time is a neat feature. Also, the microphone is 1 device, so if you are talking over Bluetooth on your phone, you are not able to talk over any other device at the same time. At least you can hear both though. Sound quality on these is ear tickling. Literally the bass on these things along with the clarity is amazing. The 3D audio support with Dolby Atmos is spot on. The cloth ear cushions are comfortable, but don’t provide much for passive noise canceling though. But, if you like that open air feeling, these have that. Microphone quality is sharp and clear and the mic is flip-up to mute, however there is no feedback like a tone to let you know when it is muted unless you flip all the way up to the point it locks in place. Overall, besides needing to find extra cables and managing the cables around the little base station, this is what I expected the Astro A50 to be capable of. The video of your PC still has to go through its normal connection, but the 4K 120hz of the other ports brings you down one connection essentially and makes swapping between them super simple. With the day long battery life too, this is for non-stop gaming.

    The best gaming headset on the market

    This is what I’d call the apex of gaming headsets. It has all the features you might want with no extra fluff or juvenile lights and color schemes. I’ve owned dozens of gaming headsets over many years and I have always respected the quality of Astro but found in the past that they were lacking somewhat in comfort and certain features like Bluetooth. The last Astro I had was the second generation A50, and they have come a long way since then. This newest version takes everything I ever liked about the old 2nd gen and adds significant improvements across the board. I always appreciated the magnetic charging dock, flip to mute boom mic, easy to use mix amp controls and overall sound quality, and thankfully they have not messed with any of those good things. They have however added Bluetooth support for simultaneous sound from your phone while playing, enhanced the comfort level of the head band and ear cups, tweaked the design of the charging dock making it easier to get a solid connection for the headset to charge properly, and most importantly and impressively made it so you can pass through HDMI 2.1 for full 4k 120hz from both the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. This pass through gets the best sound quality possible and I have noticed zero lag or difference in video quality out of my hardware since adding the new A50 to my setup. On both sides of the equation you get full Dolby atmos support, and neither my PS5 or Series X report any changes to their video output quality since hooking things up. The only drawback to this pass through is that there is no HDMI cable included with this headset so you need to provide your own ultra high speed cable to output from the dock to the TV. If you intend to use this for both consoles at once you’ll also need a second USB C cable as there is only one of those in the box. With those two extra cables you can get two consoles hooked up and working with no fuss. I have an LG B2 OLED TV in conjunction with this headset and my consoles and everything works flawlessly. Chat quality is excellent, the atmos sound is phenomenal, I have worn them for many hours at a time with no fatigue or discomfort, they have massive battery life for marathon sessions, and even have a USB-C port on the headset for charging independently of the dock if needed. I’ve been able to keep gaming while taking phone calls and can hear the call crisp and clear with no distortion and am told I sound great on the other end. Other than wishing that it included an appropriate HDMI cable and second USB cable I cannot think of anything else I would ask for from this headset. It is extremely impressive and wonderful to be able to use for a multi platform household with such ease. This is one of the very best gaming headsets available today, and I think it is worth every penny.

    Dead out of the box. Spent 4 hours with Logitech customer support only to determine the unit was defective. Could not change between PC and Xbox mode. Even when connected to PC, Logitech's GHub software (to update firmware) would not recognize the headset. Be warned: Logitech wants the base station to act as an intermediary between Xbox and TV/display. You need two ultra high-speed HDMI cables. Xbox out to base station Xbox HDMI in and base station HDMI out to TV/display.
