  • Outstanding Gaming Headset for the Professional or Casual Gamer! (Xbox One Version)
Platform For Display: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One...
Let me first start out by saying I am a casual gamer. I've been playing Xbox One for the last few years and decided to get this head set for that particular gaming system. This is a great gaming headset! I upgraded from my Turtle Beach headset that served me very well for many years. Here is what I liked and did not like about the Astro A50. Pros: Great sound: Customizable pre-sets and default presets make this headset ideal for those that want to tweak their headset settings. You can easily adjust settings on this headset by using the free Astro app on any Windows PC or Apple OS computer. You can also select one of three headsets loaded on the headset by simply pushing the preset button. This cycles through three presets on the headset (1-3). Great feel: This headset is lightweight. You can easily wear this for 8+ hours during those long gaming sessions and still not get fatigued by wearing it. While the headset is lightweight it is still built very very well and feel solid. You won't feel like you can easily break this headset which for the price point is a good thing. The headset also does not pinch or make my head uncomfortable in anyway and if measured out I have a large head. Wireless: The headset is 100% wireless. The only time you will need to have the headset docked is for charging. There is no cables to get in the way between you and the gaming controller or the gaming console. The freedom is nice. With the wireless capabilities also comes outstanding range. When wearing the headset I can literally go to any area of my apartment and still hear voice and game sounds. It's also nice not being tethered to your controller or console. If you've never experience true wireless gaming this will be mind blowing for you--it was for me. Mic: While some reviews have posted complaints about the mic quality I have had really no issues with the mic. I am careful with it and raise and lower it with ease as to not damage the mechanism. The mic is turned on and off by raising and lowering. Up is in the off/mute position and down is in the on/voice position. No complaints from anyone in my gaming party on not being able to hear me either. You may need to carefully bend the end of the mic inward to your face a bit for best results. Keep in mind that if you do this the mic will hit the headset in the off/mute position so be careful not to damage it. While it would be nice to have a switch to tap to turn the mic on or off it is also nice to have the mic up out of the way for those solo gaming sessions or if you don't feel like being social during a particular gaming session. Cons: Adjusting in game and voice chat volume: While there is a "rocker switch" to adjust game and voice chat sound it is often confusing and I find myself constantly looking to see which way I should push the switch to adjust either the game volume or voice chat volume. This is especially true if I don't use the headset for several weeks between gaming sessions. Again, I am a casual gamer so this is my experience. Opinions on this will vary! Overall volume: It is nice to be able to easily raise or lower overall sound volume. This is game volume and voice chat volume. The downside to the particular way this headset's volume control works is that it's on a round dial. This dial is too easily manipulated especially if you are resting in a reclined position. I find myself inadvertently lowering the volume in the middle of a gaming session and then I need to remove one hand from the gaming controller to re-adjust the volume control. This is a drawback to the design but not a deal breaker. If you never game in a reclined position you very well may never experience an issue with this! Overall this is light years ahead of any basic headset and even more advanced in many ways over the competitors top end headset models. If you are a serious or casual gamer this is a headset that you should check-out and you'll probably realize that this is the route to go. Thanks for reading! ... show more

  • Overall pretty terrible headset
Platform For Display: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One...
Honestly, I've owned this headset for almost 4 years now.. What a dissappointment. The hype with ASTROs was always high, or the reviews were paid but this headset was nothing but headache. If it's not intermittent disconnecting, it was channels flipping out of the blue for absolutely NO reason. Their software is horrendous, newer Logitch G software doesn't even recognize it so you still have to user their terrible "Command Center". The battery was always a problem but since last year my battery is dying literally in like 45 mins, and don't get me started on the microphone. Bizzare issues, terrible quality even when it works, when it doesn't it will go into this Tape Recorded mode that is completely useless and most people won't even understand you, which ASTROs says "oh that's all normal". Normal my butt, the microphone was working just fine and was reported at DVD quality for the longest time and I was clear and loud, but suddenly it just doesn't work anymore. Sounds like garbage and switch to Line improves things a bit but still not good. And yes, I've used Game/Voice/Line modes. I had Astros A40 before mind you. Those were kind of ok, nothing spectecular but they literally worked for like 6-7 years. These A50s are just awful. Trust me when I advise you as someone who has had them for 4 years now. Save yourself money and buy other headphones. The quality and QA is just a joke. Last time I buy ASTROs. I had enough. ... show more

  • Great sound and comfort
Platform For Display: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One...
I have been using a Turtle Beach 800x headset for 4 years or so, and after I replaced it for a 3rd time I decided to go with a different brand. The issue with the Turtle Beach 800x headset is where the adjustable slider connects to the ear cup. It will crack over time especially if you cant 1 ear cup to the side when your ear starts to get hot like you see football coaches do. This is the reason I decided to go with the Astro A50 headset because they use some lightweight alloy and NOT plastic for adjusting the height of the headset. The sound quality is great but the Turtle Beach 800x has more sound features than the A50 does, however the build quality of the A50 -vs- 800x is a trade off I'm willing to live with. Especially at the cost of these headsets you want them to last unlike the 3 800x I have replaced. Pros: 1. Very comfortable and doesn't put pressure points on you ears like the Turtle Beaches do after long periods of wear 2. Flip to mute instead of thumbing around for the button 3. Quick setup. Took all of about 10 minutes especially since my Turtle Beach 800x had the same optical and USB plugs 4. The headset still has plastic, but it has a Solid adjustable height framing that is NOT made of Plastic like the Turtle Beach 800x is. 5. You can change the ear cups. Not your old A50 mod kits will not with this new A50 generation 6. Base Station is way better than the Turtle Beach 800x. You have more lights that lets you know the status of your headset. The Turtle Beach 800x just has a Red/Green Turtle Beach logo for a light to let you know when it was charged (Green) and connected. The A50 shows a bar letting you know how charged your headset is, and which features you are using Cons: 1. Does NOT have the same adjustable sound features at touch of a button that my Turtle Beach 800x had like "Footstep Focus", "Racing", "Shooter", "Signature Sound", "Superhuman Hearing", etc. I like the various different sound settings I could choose from 2. Does NOT have built-in Bluetooth so I can quickly connect to my iPhone or iPad 3. Does NOT have independent Voice and Game Volume control like the Turtle Beach 800x does. It does have Voice/Game Balancing which is good but I prefer independent volume controls. 4. Does NOT have noise cancelling like Bose or Turtle Beach 800x does The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the lack of sound features that the Turtle Beach has, and that it doesn't have independent voice/game volume controls ... show more
