"Next Level"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Best headset i've ever had, previously had A40's and the previous A50's, had turtle beach headsets and they have nothing on this, the Dolby atmos takes game sound to the next level. also a feature it doesn't list is if you're in the middle of using your headset and the take them off and put them on a table to go do something they will sense they are have been put down and switch off, and when you pick it up again it will switch on, saving you battery. great range as well, and fully charged will last over 15 hours.

"Top spec headset for it's price! Worth every PENNY $$"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Top spec headset, woth it's price. If you are tech savy, can't be bothered with a High end sound Streamer setup, The Yeti microphone, the Sandheiser headset for sound… This Headset is it. As50's are worth every single penny. The sound quality, is insane, 7.1 surround supporting Dobly Digital, sadly requires a subscription but you don't need it. The microphone quality, Im not sure what all the negitive reviews on this headset is on about, but the Microphone quality of this head is is of VERY high quality, single person I ask online asks me what headset and mic I use now because of how clear and crisp I sound. ASMR quality, it's a litreal DrDisrespect quality level product. This headset is worth every single penny if you can affort it. It's extremely durable. If dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken like every other Logitech product i've owned. for it's 700 dollar value tag it offers ALL.. THE BELLS. AND WHISTLES LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. If you can afford this headset, DISREGUARD all other options and just buy this. the wireless with charging dock makes it very easy to be max charged always and if you want to be the ultimate sperg you can plug in a micro usb to charge the headset which also WORKS DURING CHARGING, most headsets in this price range do not support this feature. The ps4 version is exactly the same only to be more convenient for playstation / PC users.

"Perfect Headset after 3 years"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I brought these headphones back in 2021 and they still work perfect to this day. I mainly use on my Xbox series X but switch to the PS5 when I need to. NOTE you don’t need any special adapters, just switch it to PC mode and it works on PS5.

Headset battery’s have never gone flat on me, game for 10 hours at a time and they’re very comfortable

"Terrible"
1 stars"

One of the most useless Headset I've ever had in my history of gaming. They are buggy diffcult to use and most of the time uncooperative, I always seem to struggle to get them to connect having a long battle with just to get my audio to work I would not recommend this headset

"Big Step Backwards"
2 stars"

I have 2 other Astro A50 headsets, – generation 2 & generation 3, which still work great, no issues at all. But I needed another headset for my third device so I thought I would get another A50 (Gen 4) to go on my new Xbox. At first the headset seemed great but after a few times use I noticed a constant buzzing/static sound coming from the left ear cup. When I would flip the microphone down to talk it would make the noise stop but as soon as I would flip it back up to mute myself it was back. I also found that it would randomly restart itself while in use, in the end it was doing it quite frequently so was very frustrating. Another thing is the base station. When I place the headset on the base station it shows the battery bars as it should and what stage its at charging. However, after a few hours once the Xbox is turned off (when all the power is lost to the base station) all the lights on the base station are flashing/blinking, indicating that its not on the base station properly, even though it was fine when placed on it earlier. The weird thing is, if I turn the Xbox on again, the base station then goes back to normal and shows the headset charging again. I tried this on a different Xbox but still had the exact issues. I then tried them on my computer (which has a constant power source) where I found the base station went absolutely fine, no flashing lights or anything. It just showed the charging bars as it should constantly. It makes me think that it has some sort of power issue as to why the base station lights all flash after the xbox has been turned off for a while. Like when it loses all power to the base station. I returned my first pair and got a replacement (As I couldn't get refunded) They are about 2 weeks old now. They seem to be better than the last pair but still have the base station charging issue, and the buzzing noise has just started in the left air cup again. I tried many troubleshooting steps but nothing has worked, I even contacted Astro but they weren't helpful. After doing a bit of research on them, it seems that the problems I have are pretty common in the latest generation headsets as others have them too.

"Not worth the price"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good quality when it wants to work. Works fine for PC but on console it's unpredictable when it's going to work. I have had 2 of these as first ones were replaced by ASTRO for issues. Same problem both times

"Not worth the price"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Sound quality isn’t amazing, though the EQ software allows you to fine tune things, the headphones themselves just aren’t at a comparable quality level to the price. The base is works but you need to hold your mouth just right to get the charging points to line up despite them being magnetised

"meh"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The sound quality of this headset is very good and also the design but those are the only things that i can say are good the mic quality is very poor it is the worst mic i have heard before tbh i have tried to make it sound better but there is nothing in the software to fix how it sounds. My old razer man o war sound better.

I have upgraded from a pretty good headset that I have been using for 5 years to this and man I cant explain how much better this headphones is. Really comfortable and sounds amazing. Recommend this headset for people who are looking for a premium wireless headset

"Extreme sound improved base station charging"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I upgraded my Astro A50 gen3 had a charge station fail headphones stopped working.

My new Astro A50 gen4 are way better no charge station recharge fails like gen3 have. Gen4 Sound also improved over gen3 Well worth the money comfortable for long gaming with extreme sound.
