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
Very satisfied Amazon customer....also purchased the A50 Noise-Isolating Mod KitVerified purchaser~NickASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Dolby Gaming Headset - Black/Blue - PlayStation 4 + PC
Best gaming headset, very comfortable and the surround sound is amazing
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.
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.
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!!?
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
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
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 $300 on a set of headphones that broke only after 6 months of use, so I decided I'll go on the hunt for a pair of headphones that provided the same sound quality for a better price
Here is one thing I like but others may not: Without the over priced Proprietary Noise Cancelling Mod Kit (Shame on you Astro) you can clearly hear outside noise
True the price of these is not cheap but if you have the extra money I recommend it.
Do not reccomend for long term use especially since the price is so steep.
, it has worse signal than the pS4 controller or any other jeadset
Just going down stairs and standing directly below where my computer is I would lost signal, and this is an older house with very thin walls not even made of sheetrock but rather wood paneling
I also had problems with my wifi causing the headset to lose signal to the base station
and it’s still in great shape and works as it’s intended to.
Something about to many signals could interrupt the astro’s
Just the same advice over and over to do a hard reset holding down two buttons on the headset
There are no humans and it appears that they just have a bot that spams your email with "toggle power" and "soft reset!"I have had more satisfaction with 5$ 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"
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
Imagine gaming with this weird echo; explosions, music, cinematics, sound effects, all with this weird echo but not a full surround sound
and I turned it on, only to hear a loud and very annoying echo
