  • Still I do highly recommend the A50s as I do feel they overall are the best wireless gaming headset available currently
  • I own 2 pair of these, don't cheap out and buy anything else, these are by far the best gaming headset for the money
  • For competitive gaming I do not recommend and for the price, you can find a much better headset

Reviews around pair (4.33 of 5)

  • The associate notices Im leaning towards the higher-end headphones, and tells me that the Astro A50 is the best pair of headphones he's ever had, and the Turtle Beach Elite 800X could never compare
  • Still I do highly recommend the A50s as I do feel they overall are the best wireless gaming headset available currently
  • so I'm hoping both the blue and green pair are compatible with both PS4 and Xbox one
  • and it’s still in great shape and works as it’s intended to.
  • For those on PC i would recommend a good pair of headphones and a mic instead.

Reviews around battery life (4.08 of 5)

  • Awful build quality, poor battery life and does not sit quite right on the head
  • The battery life is amazing, but who cares about that when the headset disconnects when important communications need to be shared
  • Audio quality is phenomenal and the battery life is fantastic.
  • For this new generation they have basically doubled the battery life as well as having it auto off when placed down, meaning battery life is no longer a issue as long as your willing to charge it every other day or so.
  • , default sounds settings worked great and the battery life is amazing.

Reviews around headphone (3.84 of 5)

  • If you are looking for great sounding headphones these are not for you
  • These really are the most comfortable, best sounding gaming headphones I've ever used
  • These headphones are fantastic for gaming, but not so much for music
  • Whereas Wireless headphones use a gimmick to essentially 'throw' the sounds to make them feel 3D, and trying to cover any signal interference loses audio quality
  • I received the item with the seal broken, the headphones were dusty and covered cat or some type of pet hair!!?

Reviews around audio (3.61 of 5)

  • You are buying a surround sound, wireless headset that provides "good" audio and "decent" mic qualities with decent battery life.
  • Because for myself at my age, I do not need the best audio... the best mic, the longest battery... what I do need is a super comfortable, wireless, surround sound
  • Still I do highly recommend the A50s as I do feel they overall are the best wireless gaming headset available currently
  • The A50 is not cheap... it does not have the best audio, or the best mic, but that is not what you are buying.
  • Overall the A50 has just gotten better over the years and while the audio quality may no longer be the best in the segment anymore, it still delivers dam good audio, and ill sacrifice having the best audio by a few points for comfort

Reviews around mic (3.16 of 5)

  • I gave 4 stars because the mic is not good considering how costly this headset is .
  • It was comfortable and the sound is great but the internal battery burns out quickly and the mic is just terrible.
  • For gaming and listening to music they are tough to beat, The mic is a little muddy, but passable; as good or better than most gaming
  • Very disappointed saved up a long time for a new headset and my friends online say my mic always sounds like crap and the quality isn't near as good as my old wired headset, very disappointed.
  • I've heard the mic is a little anemic but don't plan to use it

Reviews around astros (2.54 of 5)

Reviews around price (2.09 of 5)

  • but if you’re looking for just an average had set the price is not worth it
  • I was obviously pissed off that I spent $300 on a set of headphones that broke only after 6 months of use, so I decided I'll go on the hunt for a pair of headphones that provided the same sound quality for a better price
  • Here is one thing I like but others may not: Without the over priced Proprietary Noise Cancelling Mod Kit (Shame on you Astro) you can clearly hear outside noise
  • True the price of these is not cheap but if you have the extra money I recommend it.
  • Do not reccomend for long term use especially since the price is so steep.

Reviews around range (2.06 of 5)

  • Still I do highly recommend the A50s as I do feel they overall are the best wireless gaming headset available currently
  • The 5ghz wireless range is terrible and is unable to go through walls at all
  • I love the range of the audio, and love the quality / lightness of the build
  • Really, I have no complaints except one so far: the range is kind of bad comparatively
  • WiFi is perfect, no wires, digital in to the base unit offers fantastic sound range

Reviews around signal (1.85 of 5)

  • , it has worse signal than the pS4 controller or any other jeadset
  • Just going down stairs and standing directly below where my computer is I would lost signal, and this is an older house with very thin walls not even made of sheetrock but rather wood paneling
  • I also had problems with my wifi causing the headset to lose signal to the base station
  • and it’s still in great shape and works as it’s intended to.

Reviews around reset (1.76 of 5)

  • Just the same advice over and over to do a hard reset holding down two buttons on the headset
  • There are no humans and it appears that they just have a bot that spams your email with "toggle power" and "soft reset!"I have had more satisfaction with 5$ earbuds.
  • They only know how to tell you to perform a hard reset (the process for which should be explained in the manual to begin with).Finally, this is a minor gripe, but it's needlessly complicated how you have to plug everything together to make any changes through the Astro PC software.
  • Astro Gaming Tech Support had me do a hard reset on the headset
  • Sometimes when they do, they give a generic messaage that is always the same "Make sure the switch is in pc/ps4 mode and do a hard reset of the headset"

Reviews around connection (1.66 of 5)

  • It's very comfortable but after the 5 month time limit, it will consistently lose connection with the Base
  • then from my experience you will have very bad connection issues
  • There *is* no perfect headset t this price point
  • These A50s often lose connection entirely to the base station and I won't hear anything, or it will come in like static for several seconds
  • It takes quite a bit of jiggling and jostling to make a good connection to recharge the battery.

Reviews around friend (1.00 of 5)

  • Finally, my friends complain about the poor quality of my microphone whenever I switch to this headset.
  • BUT 1- your friends will complain your headset is trash because the sound on their end constantly cuts out
  • The only issues I have with it is that when you are in chat sometimes your mic breaks in out or your friends mic does
  • And my friends tell me that the microphone sounds weird but other than

Reviews around echo (1.00 of 5)

  • Excellent build qualityAdjustable microphone that turns off/mutes when you raise itWireless ChargingExtremely comfortable earphonesAdjustable master volume wheelCons:Too tight for size of head; hardly adjustableVery annoying echo exists only when 7.1 Surround Sound is
