5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely nervous buying this.

Solid build quality. Not the best battery life, roughly 7 hours and getting shorter over time. The sound was amazing. They only broke because of me, thinking the headband was compatible with the mod kits. I was wrong. But overall, a very good headset that delivered what it promised great sound quality.My next logical step was the astro a50 gen 4. Better battery, better more refined sound, now wireless charging, and that was a big draw for me since the cable to charge the gen 2 was garbage. I bought several along the way and all broke at some stage lol. But we're definately on to a winner here with the new one. Absolutely NOT! The Paint peeled ALL over the headset. Felt somewhat worse build quality, very flimsy for instance and not as strong. The sound shut off when I turned off an app like YouTube or twitch for instance. Had to reset ps5 to get sound back (though I must specify this was with the astro adapter specially built for ps5. In the end I plugged the digital optical cable directly in to the TV and never had that issue ever again). But most annoyingly, the base station now failed to charge the headset when set up on the ps5 in rest mode. It worked fine for the first 2 weeks. But Sony released several ps5 firmware updates and one of them interfered with the power output to charge things when in rest mode (controllers were fine). Very annoying. Strong points were indeed better battery life, and sound quality was excellent as before.Earlier this year I spot the astro a50x. Didn't realise they were even a thing. So I was somewhat skeptical now having not had a great experience with the gen4. I watched the reviews, and they were positive across the board with one or 2 issues. So this potentially was going to be an expensive mistake. I am however very happy to report that the astro a50x, though, is absolutely excellent. Much better build quality. Excellent sound. Greatly improved battery life. Paint coating doesn't peel thankfully. No app whatsoever shuts off the sound when I close it. I can take phone calls with this one via Bluetooth connection to my mobile. I can set up the sound presets on the phone app available on the android store. But above all els, I now have a headset that finally charges on the base station 😂. Look, it's expensive. But it does however come with both xbox and pc support on top on the ps5 support all in one. I will say this, I love this headset.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Headset To Rule Them All

J.H. · 22 March 2025

Excellent headset. I've owned the previous generation Astro headsets for the past 15 years or so, and this A50X is the best one yet.Sound quality and microphone are top-notch as usual, and the fact that this can be instantly switched between XBOX, PlayStation or PC at the touch of a button, is fantastic, and makes the high price easier to swallow for multiformat gamers.For anyone who just wants a good headset and only intends to use it on one device though, this is a total waste of money. You would be paying for the HDMI pass through which would never be used. People in that scenario would be better off just buying the non-x version A50 and saving £100 or so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Comfortable Headphones I Have Ever Owned

F.F. · 11 May 2025

They are really comfortable and great sound for gamers, much better than my Sony Plus headphones, which incidentally broke after just past the guarantee period ran out, these were sold as used, they had never been used the only thing they didn’t come in the original box but everything was there and brand new, I definitely don’t have any regrets on buying them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended this headset if you have the money

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent headset, mainly held back by the price

E.W. · 28 June 2024

I think this headset finally hits the mark on everything I actually care about:1. Battery life is not amazing in itself, but is decent (mainly now compared to the headsets that can last 100-300 hours compared to this at 24 hours). This is a none-issue though thanks to the dock - take it off, put it down and it's on charge and always ready to go. Perfect.2. Comfort is great. It's quite lightweight, and the clamping force is just right for me at least. The stock ear pads are okay, but I'm not personally a big fan of fabric so did replace them with some Wicked Cushions - if you do like fabric pads then I think the stock pads are very nice otherwise. The swivel of the cups makes it sit snugly on your head, and also makes it easy to drop it down to rest on your neck / chest if you need to take them off temporarily.3. Sound quality is very good, but I do feel like it sounds a bit muffled. I solved this with the EQ though just by boosting the treble and now it does sound great. Bass is excellent, if quite overpowering, so I also toned that down a little. A more neutral out of the box setup would've been more ideal.4. Microphone quality is stellar, it's the best on any wireless headset I've tried, and you could easily be convinced it was a wired headset, or potentially even something much more professional (e.g. watch Hardware Canucks' video on this headset, can you tell when they swap to using the headset?)5. Cost is very high, but it is a very complete package. I'm just using this on the PC, so the dock and it's HDMI switching features are wasted on me, but I wanted all of the above which simply don't seem to be available all together in any other wireless headset I've seen, and I've tested quite a few now. Cost does hold this one back. Maybe they could offer a simpler PC-only dock to drop the price so it only supports charging and the wireless functions? Or even just an option to only get the headset itself with a USB dongle to allow USB-C charging using the USB-C port on the headset without a dock involved at all?TL;DR: All in all, it's a very complete package. You pay a premium for it, for sure. For me, that was worth it, because I wanted great sound quality, great microphone quality, great battery life, and great comfort all in one, which I just couldn't find anywhere else.So far I'm very pleased with this headset, so we'll see how well it holds up in terms of build quality over time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good Sound Quality - that's all!

B.B. · 17 May 2025

Caution before buying - this headset lasted just under a year for me before sound would only play in one ear. The base station itself is a hot mess. IMPORTANT: OU CANNOT SWITCH DISPLAY INPUT BETWEEN CONSOLE AND PC (only console and console, e.g. Ps5 to Xbox). So enjoy manually switching using your remote every time, rather than using the 'convenient' button on the side of the headset (confirmed with Logitech Support).TLDR: Overpriced for what it promises, and delivers on none aside from good sound quality. Spend your money £300 elsewhere.
