ASTRO GamingA50 Wireless Headset + Gaming Charging Station, 4th Gen, Dolby, Balancing Gaming Sound and Voice, 2.4 GHz Wireless Connection, PS5 (HDMI adapter required), PS4, PC, Mac - Black

The ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset has been an absolute game-changer for my PC gaming experience. The audio quality is phenomenal, with Dolby surround sound delivering rich, immersive soundscapes that elevate every gaming session. The 2.4 GHz wireless connection is flawless, providing a stable, lag-free experience, even in a house with multiple devices.Comfort is another standout feature. The ear cushions and headband are designed for extended use without causing discomfort, which is perfect for long gaming marathons. The charging station is intuitive and keeps the headset secure and ready to go, with battery life that lasts well beyond my longest sessions.I noticed some negative reviews about connectivity issues or problems with the charging station, but I’ve experienced none of these. I’ve been using this headset exclusively with my PC, and it has performed flawlessly. Setup was straightforward, and the software allowed me to fine-tune the audio settings to my liking without any hassle.If you’re a PC gamer looking for premium audio quality, comfort, and reliability, the ASTRO A50 is a fantastic choice. It’s worth every penny in my book.

The truth of it is, I’ve given it a 5 star when realistically it’s a 4 and a half star.Now this headset is great but it’s the little things that brings it down a peg.For example, if you do not know how to correct the highs and lows in audio and the presets ain’t good for you personally then you’ll either have to learn how to correct it with the command centre (which is a pretty neat application) or just sell the headset.The durability of said headset ain’t the strongest. It has been dropped once (my cat knocked it off my desk) it landed on carpet and the part where soft bit is at the top snapped loose from the frame of the headset and wouldn’t go back in securely. I had to super glue it lol.The surround sound feature is cool but isn’t the best. It’s recommended to use Dolby Atmos, the app on PC however that requires a subscription. You’d thing after paying the high price for this headset you’d get maybe a free trial or something like that for Dolby Atmos but you don’t.If you are looking for sound cancelling, this ain’t the one for you. Go somewhere else. I heard Alienware have a great headset for sound cancelling.The range on this headset isn’t the best, but it’s decent enough if you do stay in the same room.The worst problem I had with this was a weird one. When I upgraded my network to 5ghz Wi-Fi, the frequency interfered with my headset causing it to cut out at times and often have this blipping noise in the speakers. I had to turn of the 5ghz setting on my hub for this to go away. I am hoping they’ve since fixed this issue. I am yet to test it.However, this headset still remains in the spot of one of my best all time headsets. The price is bit too high though. I would recommend going for a cheaper headset if you can’t comfortably afford this headset.

Do not buy this headset, spend your money elsewhere. The sound quality is fine, not worth the price tag, but that is not the biggest issue.1. The charging station is embarrassingly bad. You have to place the headset in at the perfect angle for it to charge. If not you have to keep wiggling it to get it perfect, even then it sometimes just wont charge. The only way to get it consistently charging is to reduce the size to the minimum which is a huge pain. It has got to the point where I just charge via USB.2. The strap on the top of the head set constantly pops open which is extremely uncomfortable when it happens especially when you are mid game when it happens and just have to sit there. From what I have seen from some googling this does not happen to everyone but it is insane for a headset of this price to have a design flaw like this.Both these problems are very easy to find online with some googling. Please don't be like me and just don't buy this overpriced garbage.
