    ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Dolby Gaming Headset - Black/Blue - PlayStation 4 + PC

    • i dunno maybe mines defective)Range is aweful
    • My only complaint is the range
    • WiFi is perfect, no wires, digital in to the base unit offers fantastic sound range
    • I love the range of the audio, and love the quality / lightness of the build
    • Range is poor as
    • range is horrible, battery life is good sound quality is great, and mic quality is good, would have been 4or 5 stars if the range wasn't horrible
    • The range on these is a little disappointing
    • Biggest pro: wireless range is actually pretty great
    • Next the sound quality, I am no expert with sound, but I do love the range it have, although Astro could had done much better explaining how all the different eq modes setting works
    • Wireless range is terrible which I understand is because the Gen 3's use a different wireless chip to the Gen 1 & 2's (Kleernet)
    • If this headset was in the $200 range it would an excellent mid range choice for a headset, however for $300 dollars if you are willing to sacrifice wireless and some compatibility, you can buy the Astro mixamp pro, and any other headset of your choosing, for example the Sennheiser Game Zero or Game One and get much better sound, mic quality, and comfort while keeping virtual surround sound and volume and mixing controls
    • Mic quality is trash and battery will burn out on you in no time, range is far worse than previous versions, clearly a few steps down from the first two gens, why Astro would
    • Really, I have no complaints except one so far: the range is kind of bad comparatively
    • Range has not been an issue for me as I do not leave the living room with them
    • It's a little disappointing that this $300 headset has such poor range
    • The 5ghz wireless range is terrible and is unable to go through walls at all
    • Bad range, bug where you can hear your own voice, and connectivity issues/charging issues
    • The wireless range is poor
    • Still I do highly recommend the A50s as I do feel they overall are the best wireless gaming headset available currently
    • and it’s still in great shape and works as it’s intended to.
