🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

Reviewers generally agree that the Astro A50 Gen 4 Headset is a strong contender in the market, despite some minor flaws. Most of the praises are directed towards the comfort of the ear cups, the base station design, the auto-mute mic feature and its decent battery life. However, users have shown disappointment with the headset's headband padding and the included surround sound profiles. The device’s charging pin alignment was also a point of concern.

Pros

  • 🎧 Comfortable ear cups which are breathable, reducing individual's sweatiness.
  • 🔋 Decent battery life (16hrs) and automatic power conservation when laid flat.
  • 🎤 Mic auto-mutes when placed vertically and has wide range of size adjustability.
  • 🔌 Base station with a readout of current setting.

Cons

  • 😣 Inadequate headband padding that can be uncomfortable after extended use.
  • 🧲 Misalignment of charging pins can lead to ineffective charging.
  • 🔊 Poor included surround sound profiles.
  • 🔄 Reviewer found the game and chat mix method to be inconvenient.

Should I Buy It?

If comfort and good battery life are your top priorities, then this headphone could be a good choice. However, if you're looking for optimal sound quality, and are less patient with minor design inconveniences, it might be worth looking elsewhere. Therefore, the decision should be based on your specific needs and preferences.

    • First Impressions
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5, PlayStatio...
First impressions: -Nice packaging, everything is brand spanking new with really nice plastic peels. Awesome new smell too. -Connecting the headset to my PC with the included optical and USB A to Micro USB cables work instantly, all I needed to do was switch computer output to optical out for my sound card. -Did some preliminary testing with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare + Warzone. Sound profile is differently from my recent Sennheisers, will have to play around with EQ and Dolby Sound settings. Sound's fine, just a really wide soundstage compared to the Sennheisers with Dolby Sound on, which I'll be getting used to. -Its taking a long while to charge the headset by today's standards, where you can almost fully charge a smartphone in less than 45-minutes. ~25% in an hour is not bad for something that will sit on the charging base for like 16-18 hours out of each day, though. -Almost the same as my old Gen 1 Astro A50s, with some really nice improvements. I like the comfort and the removable foam on the ear cups and head band for easy cleaning/replacing. Also nice to have a button to switch EQ profiles on the fly. And I now have again my favorite feature from my old headset, the rocking right ear cup plate to balance game and chat audio I've had many headsets over the years, always tried to get something nice and comfortable for long sessions, and tried to go for the best quality+comfort+features balance I could find for my PC+PS4 desk setup. I've had these headsets over many years, and in this order: a Logitech G700, Corsair Vengeance 2000, a refurbished gen 1 Astro A50, cheap Logitech G33 when my Astro was stolen during travel, Steelseries Arctis 5, Sennheiser Game One, Sennheiser GSP500. Out of all these, the Astro A50s and both Sennheisers are easily above the rest, these three are high quality headsets with satisfying sound. Steelseries Arctis 5 is easily the most comfortable of the bunch, and had lots of really nice features, but a faulty proprietary connector and the bad customer service experience that followed turned me off their brand forever, even if Amazon made things right in the end when they didn't have to(Thanks Amazon!). I loved my old Astro A50s, and these feel like coming back home, with some really nice improvements. I like the removable foam on the ear cups and head band for easy cleaning/replacing. Also nice to have a button to switch EQ profiles on the fly. The charging base is also really nice to have, and the expected 15-hour battery life should make life much easier compared to the 3 hours I used to get on my old refurbished ones. I now have again my favorite feature from my old headset, the rocking right ear cup button to balance game and chat audio I'm really looking forward to enjoying my Astro A50s with my PC + PS4, and hopefully PS5 when it comes out. I'll be updating my review to reflect my user experience as time goes by, Especially if any issues pop up. ... show more

    • Embarrassing Product Support - Critical Design Flaws
Platform For Display: PlayStation 5, PlayStatio...
I don't like leaving 1 star reviews for products, but I feel entirely justified here, given the embarrassing level of support that logitech/astro provide for a $300 headset. There's two main reasons why you shouldn't buy this headset, even though the price has come down from $300 somewhat. 1. Faulty padding design, causing major discomfort. The padding on top of the headset does not stay in place. it is removeable, for who knows what reason, and the manner in which it refastens does not hold up to movement. After 5 minutes it will fall out again, in the middle of your game, and the top of your head will scratch. There are solutions. You can tape it, you can 3d print a clip specially designed to fix this headsets problem, or buy one on amazon for ten bucks. Tape ruins the aesthetic and makes you wonder why you spent money on this thing, and the 3d clips are a great solution, but they break after use too. WHy was it designed this way? 2. Random firmware bugs The worst part about this headset is that its a ticking time bomb, You never know when you'll have a firmware issue that suddenly bricks your device. It's not something you would ever think about until it happens, or unless someone leaves a review like this, but it happens a LOT if the support threads I'm reading are any indication. I'm just trying to bring some of their angst to this review. For example, the device was working fine for me, and then one day i turn on my PC and sound doesnt work. I load up the astro command center, and it says the firmware is out of date. I've been trouble shooting for hours, and have given up on Logitech because they're a bunch of useless idiots who push "solutions" they know wont work. IF it werent for reddit guides written by dedicated users who figured it out, there would be no hope of saving it. One thing is certain if you buy this headset. You will be frustrated by it at some point and completely wonder why you wasted your money on it when you could have gotten a headset from a competitor at a similar price that doesn't have these issues. Oh, but yeah, when it works, it works great. crisp audio, nothing to complain about there. Better than other headsets? i dont know. ... show more
