Astro A50 Multi-Platform Wireless Gaming Headset + Base Station for PS5/Xbox/PC: PLAYSYNC Audio Switcher, <16bit/48kHz (Console), <24bit/48kHz (PC), 24hr Battery, 2.4GHz & BT - Black

My husband has been using these and absolutely loves them. The sound quality is really good, and they’re an upgrade from his old Astro A50. They’re comfortable enough to wear for hours without bothering his head. The wireless connection is solid overall, though he did mention his old headset had a better range — he could walk to the fridge without disconnecting. The mic quality is clear and his friends can hear him well. Setup was easy, and switching between his Xbox and PC is convenient. He has the PLAYSYNC Audio version (not the PLAYSYNC Video & Audio), and it still works great for his setup. Overall, they’re a great headset and definitely worth it if you game a lot and use two or more systems.

I played for the last 8 hours today on this headset and I am blown away. This is the BEST headset I have ever used. I used the old A40’s for over 10 years. They were a beast of a headset and put me ahead of the competition for years. The only problem was that it was wired. The cord would frey over time and eventually screwed up the mixamp after too many rage induced drops. I decided to get the audio sync only as I have little to no desire to pull up the video at the same time as the audio every time. I tend to play the devices one at a time with no need to switch my HDMI along with it. If needed I can switch it by hand. The headset charged very quickly and was easy to understand out of the box. Watching a YouTube video on the set up might help if you have any questions. The a50s are extremely comfortable and somehow light while retaining their solid feel. The mic quality is unbelievable, you could stream with how good it is. Seriously! Even though they don’t have noise canceling, I cannot head an outside sound while they are on my head. Bluetooth is great and the controls on the side of the headset are a little strange but it only took me a few hours to get used to them. (Such as to mute the microphone you just push it up). The sound quality is amazing for both music and games especially, you can hear footsteps from so far away. I love the Bluetooth feature as well, it’s just such a great headset. If you have the money I’d pull the trigger. If you really need to switch your monitor at the touch of a button get the PLAYSYNC + Audio version. But for me the audio version is perfect. The only problem I have is the Astro command center app for PC but that’s a different matter entirely.

I absolutely love the Logitech A50 Astros. The headset is very comfortable, even during long gaming sessions, and the adjustable fit ensures it works well for different head sizes. The wireless capability is a game-changer, transitioning between PC and other gaming consoles is seamless, and I never experience lag or dropouts. Plus I can easily grab a cup of water in between sessions or while the lobby is loading without fear of ripping cords out of my setup. The ability to be wireless and still have the quality audio cannot be overstated. The included charging stand is incredibly convenient, keeping the headset ready to go at all times and reducing clutter on my desk. Sound quality is excellent, with clear highs and satisfying bass, making both games and chat crystal clear. Getting this on Prime Day added even more value, but I’d happily pay full price for the combination of comfort, versatility, and wireless convenience. 💡 Tip: Keep the headset on the charging stand when not in use to ensure it’s always ready and avoid unexpected battery drain. (It doesn't overcharge and charging will shut off automatically when the headset is charged) Verdict: Comfortable, reliable, and versatile!! This is an excellent headset for serious gaming across multiple platforms.

Unbelievable good. These were my dreams headset and they did not disappoint. The quality of this headset is beyond compare. The size and weight is good and still feels solid. Base super easy to plug and play (two cables for pc tho) but it’s well built and design for comfort. Mic is amazing but had trouble trying to find “Mic Monitoring/Sidetone” which is hidden in the app but it’s good and work amazing to make you not scream/yell at people when playing or at home. 10/10

This is my first set of “high end” gaming headsets, and it’s been nothing but a nightmare. The only things “high end” about it are the price tag, and my blood pressure. In fairness, when it works, the sound quality is impeccable. However, “when it works” is a huge caveat in this design. In my experience, the A50 has both technical issues with connection as well as physical issues with charging. The connection has a mind of its own sometimes, usually on start up. Once it connects, mine does not lose signa during a gaming session. But sometimes just getting it to register on startup is a whole song and dance that involves powering down the Xbox, unplugging the base and toggling through the connection modes, etc., sometimes having to go through this multiple times before it works. The app has also been problematic for me, largely because the buttons that control the sound balance are easy to bump when picking up/putting down the headset. There’s no way to see what you are adjusting outside of the app—which is fantastic when the app doesn’t recognize the headset maybe 50% of the time, leaving you stuck with whatever sound settings it decides it wants. The only way to fix it is to unplug the base, delete the app, forget the device from your phone, and start the whole install all over again. Perhaps the most infuriating part (oh yes, it gets worse!) is the charging bases, which is extremely finicky. If you don’t set the headset into the base at *just the right angle,* it won’t charge—but it will click into place, making you think it’s charging. This issue is compounded by the unclear nature of the charging lights—apparently the headset will connect to the base just enough to register two lights blinking, but not enough to start charging. Every time I put mine down, I have to sit there and wait for it to decide whether or not it’s going to charge. And once you’ve got it seating correctly, don’t worry—it will come out of place with the slightest bump of your desk or table. I seriously regret this purchase. When this headset dies (likely due to me flinging it into the wall one day), I’m going back to wired Astros—or another brand altogether.

I own a lot of headsets. Maybe I have a bit of a spending habit, who's to say? I own the Audeze Maxwell, Turtle Beach Stealth Pro, and VZR Model One. All of these are great headsets...and yet I find myself using this one more than any other. This is without question on of the best headsets I've ever used. It shines in all categories: battery life, connectivity, charging speed, charging function (awesome docking station), stellar microphone quality (beats all my current), and most notably COMFORT. I can literally go lay down in these and have a nice lil' nap...no problem. The buttons are intuitively well placed and easy to use. The ease of swapping from PS5 to Xbox is a breeze. My Audeze Maxwell is king of sound overall, as it is unmatched for music listening. That said, while that headset is perfectly comfortable to me, this is on a different level as its much lighter and its sound quality is right up there. This headset overall is superior to the Turtle Beach stealth pro. I wont compare much to the wired VZR Model One, as its not apples to apples. All that to say, this headset is tremendous. You cant go wrong with it. It very well may be the best gaming headset Ive ever owned overall...only contested by my Maxwell which I also love.

Wow these headphones are amazing. First of all, it's easily one of the most comfortable pair of headphones I've ever had on my head and ears. The sound is superb and you can change the settings in the equalizer. Extremely good sound quality and seemingly no latency for a wireless connected headset. The mic: The mic ACTUALLY sounds good! It's so rare that the mic connected to headphones sound anywhere decent, let alone having a quality sound! I couldn't believe the clarity in the mic especially in the broadcaster mode. Unbelievably convenient: The fact that the stand included charges the headset is a serious game changer. I haven't had to plug a wire to the headset ONCE, the headset lasts all day for me and at the end of the day I just put them on the stand and BOOM! It's charged the next day. The ability to seamlessly switch between different devices is amazing. The sheer convenience of having to deal with no wires and just letting the stand charge the headset is genuinely life changing. The headset has a perfect weight to it and it sits on my head very comfortably and I can keep them on for HOURS without problems. (I tested them with my glasses and they're still very comfortable with them!) The only con I'd say is that it's a bit pricey, but if you value the amazing features this headset offers, you might consider it worth the purchase! Overall it's an amazing headset!

I bought this set not because i needed it, but for the looks of it, also, i guess i have money to spend on. Also together, i bought the ear pads separated, a few of them, for the looks. After i put all together, to be honest, they have worse quality sound than my very old turtle beach 450, which ill be keeping it! Overall, they do look beautiful, charging station is a pain because they need to be perfectly set on it. Ear cushions touching together while charging, which will make a dent over time. Product case is beautiful, nice and neat, instructions, but garbage it goes. Sound? Not better than any $50/$100 headset. Again, i bought it for the looks, good quality. For sound, no.
