Product description

You can now also connect the Astro A50 PS4 gaming headset to the PlayStation 5 with the Astro PS5 HDMI adapter. You can wirelessly connect this headset to your PC, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 via the base station. Via the MixAmp Pro and the Astro Command Center software, you can choose the best balance for you between chat sounds and the sound of your games. The surround sound allows you to hear your game audio in 360 degrees sound, so you know where your opponents are coming from. This allows you to stay a step ahead. The average battery life of the headset is 15 hours, so you can play for a long time without charging the headset. If you often play alone or don't need a microphone, you can easily fold the headset of the microphone.

Great headset and slowly become indispensable for me.

  • Very good sound
  • Great battery
  • Easy sound balance between game & voice
  • Reach could be better

TLDR;
Super headset that has many (for me) indispensable functions such as adjusting the volume between game/voice, mute the microphone and a charging station.
Fits super nice on your head and can wear it all day without really feeling it.
Feels a bit warm in the summer days (because of the dust), but certainly not pleasant for me.
The negative points are rather very small and are certainly not disturbing to me.

Small context I got the new version after the previous version unfortunately broke, but thanks to a top service from CoolBlue I was able to get the new version.
During this "loss" I really noticed that controlling the volume between game & voice is really great.
This way you never have to fiddle with your game settings to hear your friends or opponents while playing.
The microphone is super easy to mute by simply raising the microphone.
Ideal because you have everything at hand and you don't have to reach for the base station to mute.
With the new version, the microphone is made of slightly less stiff material, which makes it feel a bit more flexible.
This feels a bit weird and "cheap" that's why it's listed as a negative.

What I also love about this headset is that it has a base station, which means that when you're done with it, you can easily put it in and charge it.
Compared to the previous version they have really improved a lot with being able to place it in the base station.
He clicks in 9/10 times perfectly sometimes (therefore as a negative point) you still have to give him a hand.
Only downside is that the range is not very far in my experience.
I myself live in an apartment, so it may be limited by outside interference.
Also keep in mind that the cable that you get is on the very short side, so a Micro-USB cable that is a bit longer can be useful if you want to place it within reach.
Which is handy if you are going to charge it often.
Sometimes when you want to set it up, there is no synchronization/sound, then it is enough to put it back in the base station until it starts charging and you can continue.
The headset also has a battery-saving feature that goes into "sleep" mode when you put it down.
This helps to conserve battery.
Speaking of which, he can last a whole day (read: 8 hours of work + 6/8 hours of gaming).

The buttons for adjusting the volume between Game/Voice are on the headset itself.
Super convenient to use, but compared to the previous version, the buttons are "flat" where they used to have a rise.
This was something easy to feel if you were sitting correctly, but this too is a small thing.

Excellent headset, top manufacturer

  • Fantastic sound
  • A lot of options for setting
  • Comfortable

I've had the Astro A50 first generation for 7 years, but after the MixAmp broke down and the ear cups started to wear out, I decided to go straight for an upgrade to this version. What a good choice! As I am used to from Astro, it is very easy to connect the headset and base station. The sound is immediately fantastic (especially if you use it in combination with a sound card, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Creative Sound Blaster Z for this). The support from Astro is also still incredibly good; I had some problems updating the firmware, but the support desk is very responsive and immediately found the problem. This headset is again a top product from a top company. Price is on the high side, but I expect that I will do at least another 7 years with this headset!

Top gaming headset!!

  • Sound quality is really top notch. Best available at the moment, in my opinion.
  • Headset auto power off after taking off
  • Headset can be used for hours on end, without getting bothered by wearing it on your head
  • Earmuffs (of foam) supplied as standard do not filter out ambient noise at all. So in a "noisy" environment you are actually obliged to order a modkit for €50. Definitely not okay!

I can play very intensive games including using teamspeak to communicate with others. This is by far the best headset I've had. Just be careful when you game in a noisy room. The fabric hoods do not filter any ambient noise. There are modkits for sale for €50,- Which I think is actually too much for such an expensive headset. That should have been included as standard, so that the customer can choose which one to use.
