Best gaming headphones on the market
Where to begin.Cosmetically, these headphones look awesome and are great quality. The plastic seems to be durable but overall could be a bit better 4/5The hub is amazing. Being able to put the headphones down and charge them whenever without needing a cord is a HUGE gamechanger. You can switch between PC, XBOX, PS5, and Bluetooth seamlessly. 5/5The audio is about as good as it gets for gaming headphones. Audiophiles will want to look towards actual studio headphones instead, as they headphones are really just means for game explosions and sound effects. 4/5Comfort – The stock earphones are wildly comfortable. Very soft and pleasant, and prevent the headaches some headphones can give you. You can also swap them out easily as they are magnetically attached. 5/5Overall, definitely worth the price tag. 5/5

For a gaming headset they play music pretty well
Ok so i have some music headphones h95 hx8 dali io master and dynamics md75s. And while those all blow these away for music. These are pretty damn good. I was very impressed. Mic works very well. Games sound really good. Of course that’s what they are made for. For damn if I wasn’t surprised by how well they they play music. I switched from a set.of razors kraken which I really liked. But I wanted to ditch the wire. So yah from a guy who would love to be an audiophile one day. Maybe I will win the lottery. These are pretty damn good. Much better then I expected.

The only brand for gaming headsets
This is the number 1 most recommended brand for gaming headsets for a reason. They are incredibly expensive which is my only complaint. Everything else about this headset is sublime. Great comfort, great sound, easy setup, great customer service, and Iâve found that if you take half decent care they will last a while. My last pair of A50âs lasted almost 5 years.

AVOID If you have an LG OLED + PS5!!!!
I need you all to understand that I truly love this product. It’s extremely comfortable, it sounds great, it works flawlessly with the switcher, battery life is honestly never a worry. It’s really the best headset probably out there.EXCEPT. It doesn’t for whatever reason, support the LG OLED C1. And if you do some research, it doesn’t support other OLED models natively as well.This is an insane bummer because you would think such an expensive product would support another expensive item.For this reason, I’m firm on a 1/5 review and am more than willing to change it, if they ever release an update to fix this. But apparently, Logitech is notorious for not fixing these type of things.Do with this information what you will.

Best Astros ever made
I’ve used Astro A10, A20, A50 gen 3/4, and now A50x. Hands down this is the best headset (maybe not best for the bank) but everything else money well spent. Mic is amazing, base station has more range than old gens, clarity in sound is awesome, Bluetooth is great for calls, music, and watching videos whiling waiting for your matches. The switch to PC/PS is great. Overall the only things you lose is PC and playstation sound at the same time, and well… that’s about it; everything else is far better. If you have your PC and PS/Xbox next to eachother. Don’t invest in a standing mic for the PC just get this headset. Also keep the base ear cups, anything else makes it sound weird/worse. (So no, you don’t need the cooling gel lol)Side note I tried the Artic nova pro whatever they are called and they are nothing compared to these. A mic test alone will prove my point… don’t even get me started on sound quality.

Great, but not for the price.
I will say Iâve been slowly getting into the audiophile genre. From dabbling in Audio Technica, Sennheiser, and some other brands. Also, never been a huge fan of Astros.That being said, the audio quality is great. The EQ also helps get that sound you prefer. Iâm more of a bass head myself. These tickle that itch, but leave a little more to be desired. However, itâs still by far one of the best sounds for a gaming headset.Now the kicker, these are way too expensive. I get they have a 4K 120hz pass through, and two of them. They are just way too much for the value. Youâd have to really need all the functions this offers specifically to make it worth it. Iâd say for majority, this isnât priced right. Go for the previous gen without the pass through. Or even a different brand. Like Steelseries. They sound great as well.

I can’t say enough good things about it
My TurtleBeach 700 became unbearable. so while shopping around I purchased SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro which fell MISERABLY below my expectations. So I thought I’d give this one a shot and it is by far the best headset I’ve used in all my years of gaming. Comfortable, easy to use, high quality, great sound, great battery, easy to connect. I haven’t found 1 wrong thing with it thus far

Astro 50x
Overall a great product, performance is great and the clarity of the sound quality is superb. The only thing I have against the setup as the instructions werent too clear and not knowing I needed to buy another hdmi cable but other than that worth the money for precision gameplay.

Fone super bem construido, áudio me agradou bastante, é ate confortável por ser 40mm, eu tenho orelhas medias/grandes e não me incomoda praticamente nada.a base 100% funcional, fone pega em toda a casa praticamente sem fio.minha experiencia até agora e só pelo PC, e por aqui, não tenho nada a reclamar, comprem sem medo!Além de tudo, o fone é lindÃssimo, sem palavras!Pelo fato do material dos ear pads ser muito macio e confortável, ele peca no isolamento , e transmite muito o som de dentro para fora, mas para quem esta usando não chega a incomodar praticamente nada.

Excelente headset. Muito confortavel e com exclente som e microfone.O Software G Hub, até agora não apresentou nenhuma falha ou bug.Um ponto que eu acho que poderia melhorar é a base não detectar quais portas estão ativas, eu uso PC e o PS5. Mas toda vez que vou alter entre as portas ele passa pela porta HDMI do xbox que não está sendo utilizada.Pelo preço que é pago deveria vir almofadas em courino tambem. (Vendido separadamente)

I received the Astro A50X on May 5th 2024.The sound and the mic mix does not work on the PS5 like they did before Logitech bought it out. They are the worst generation I have ever bought. Now this is coming from having the first, second, third and forth generation of this product.I absolutely do not recommend buying this generation headset. It’s not a good buy. When I hooked them up, my TV would hum through the main speakers, and would make a popping sound when I turn them on. It’s obviously a manufacturing issue that Logitech will not address. They know this is happening. And as usual they do nothing. I wish astro never sold out.Also, Logitechs customer service has no idea how to fix them, nor do they care to help you. It took me 2 hour and 43 min according to my phone to get anyone at there end to answer. It’s a frustrating process to get this company to do anything when you spend over 400..00 for a headset.Stay away from this headset. You will get nothing from buying this one. It’s not worth the money. Your better off getting the second generation or the third generation headset. The other 2 are just not worth it. I would like to see them bring back the fiber optic cable again. That’s where I think they went wrong.Just useless head set. I sent them back and bought the turtle beach.
