The Logitech Astro A50 X is probably the most controversial headset launched in 2024. It claims to be the best wireless gaming headset for PS5 and XBox while also offering a huge set of features for the PC gaming. So is the Astro A50X battery life, comfort, wireless range, microphone quality and worth its insanely high price?

Tbh I've been waiting for Astro to make a comparable update to the A50 Gen 1s, and I think they ALMOST nailed it. The HDMI switcher is a bit unnecessary unless you're limited on inputs for your display, but to be able to have a One-Stop-Shop for PS, XB, and PC audio for like a HTPC is pretty nice! If you plan to use this for streaming however, I don't think this is headset for it. Looks tp be purely consumption focused imho.

@Conbonzx 4 месяца назад

@KingKessler 4 месяца назад

Hey, I'm wondering how and whether the headset also works when I use 2 monitors on my setup. I have the PS5 and PC; both devices have their own monitor. The Astro station only has one HDMI output; Does this mean that I would have to change the HDMI out cable EVERY TIME if I use the sound on different monitors? I've only seen reviews where people use one TV/monitor for all their devices.

Honestly, my a50’s have held up longer than any other headset that I’ve bought. I have had the gen 3’s since they came out and haven’t had any major issues. I have 1000’s of hours on these and the battery still holds a 12 hour charge.

@@maikel74 Did you get the A50x, i "upgraded" from the gen after having it with little to no issues other than wear and tear for years since it launched. Hands down the best gaming headset ive ever tried. So i never even for a second thought about buying anything else for an upgrade other than astros. A50x was the next one and oh boy, its straight ass compared to the gen 3... Huge disappointment over the sound quality it felt like i was using the gen 3 without clicking the dolby button (yes i did activate dolby and used alot of different eqs and eq profiles). I did get an eq that was much better than the shit default one but it still didnt hit the spot. Not to mention the continous fucking buzzing sound that plays when there is no audio. It triggers me because i cant listen to anything that is too quiet because that stupid buzzing sound will be playing in the background and literally nothing i did fixrd it. Side tone at 0, different eqs, base station off etc... nothing worked :/

@avinin1337 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much for the detailed review, Dimitry! how would you compare it with the Beyerdynamic MMX 200 wireless? Both have best-in-class wireless Mics. but besides Beyerdynamic doesn't have software to adjust EQ or mic settings but still has a very decent build-in noise cancellation to the mic.. how is the sound quality? which one would you pick?

@HardwareCanucks 4 месяца назад

The MMX200 for me is incredibly uncomfortable. To the point of unbearable after 20min. The clamping force is just insane, and the ear cushions don’t compliment the tight fit so I’ve never really given them a chance in long term use. But the A50X seem to have a bit more power and open sound. The MMX200 were fine but lack the depth that is naturally heard with Astro. -D.

@jamesstevens968 4 месяца назад

The mmx 200 they lack on base that's the problem astro a50x all day every day

@CreateNowSleepLater 4 месяца назад

Did you by chance play around with the mobile app? For example, some headsets come with IOS apps which let you tune the sound (bass boost or whatever). Since this pairs with the base and not the phone, does the app just let you adjust the audio for the consoles/PC or does it let you adjust the audio for using it with a phone as well.

I replaced my original A50's with this and I don't have any regrets -- as long as it lasts 8+ years like the first pair. I am only using it for PC. The new model is lighter and the sound is better than the original. Only gripe is the old A50 cups don't quite fit the new model and I really didn't need the multi-console addition and expense. My phone automatically connects when it turns on and disconnects when I'm done. I can take a call if needed or mix in a sports broadcast or music. Loving it so far!

@Patriot-oi9cz 2 месяца назад

I had a lot of issues with my last 2 pairs of A50. Had to replace the docking station because de charging pins are very fragile and get broken or crushed extremely easily (watch put if you have kids!). I’m not going back to any product like that unfortunately. Your video is very concise and informative and also enabled me to find the information that I needed (ex: confirming the little pins in the charging station are still present and that any malalignment of the headset in the docking station breaks the pins…..)

@NeoVester 3 месяца назад

So please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm still very new to tech stuff, but the fact that the PC doesn't send a video signal means it's not limited by the refresh rate right? Like let's say for example my monitor is 240hz and I'm used to getting that full refresh rate with my PC. My display signal isn't actually gonna be restricted to the 120hz of HDMI 2.1 because it's not actually plugged into the HDMI, is that correct? And if that is the case I would almost call that a positive since I'm pretty sure most people use display port for PC to get those higher refresh rates but since it's not limited by the HDMI it's not a problem anyways right?

@juprock2595 4 месяца назад

I know this product have had two over a period of 3 years. Both eventually stopped working after a little over a year when the headset no longer connects with the base station. However I had a friend who worked at Logitech 2020 and they told me that the problems I had were ones the company knows about. The only thing that kind of saved me was the fact I had a 2 year warranty with Best Buy. Great head phones, but the break and the fact Astro knows this and still does nothing is too much for me. I returned and went with a cheaper pair of turtle beach. They work, do not care if the break since they were cheap. But Astro A50 is not a quality lasting product, so if you have money to burn go for it.

Yes it was expensive but for a gaming headset that even now still doesn’t rival many others it’s been one of the best. Great to see Bluetooth, sad in this model it’s not built in tho.

@5tay-Fro5ty Месяц назад

I made the right decision since I game on all three platforms. With the Gen 4 set I had to buy the XBox base station. The one thing I miss is not being able to play on my PS5 and use my PC for Discord. The Discord link for PS means I have to hear my audio on PC through my speakers while I hear the game on my A50X. Not a big deal and I can adjust both volumes for proper balance. Great review!

@philiplee6940 4 месяца назад

@Kiobao 4 месяца назад

As someone that has their PS5 and PC right next to each other and I like the option to swap my PS5 to my monitor a bit more easily and with audio, but it was a hard pill to swallow for the price. I have had the A50X for about 2 weeks now or so, and I mostly love that it is a great all around package with great audio, great battery life and a charging dock, very comfortable and an amazing mic so I got rid of my standalone mic since I kind of care about mic quality and I dislike having a standalone mic in the way. I had the Arctis nova pros before now since I really liked swapping a battery out, but now I don't even need to do that. The PC to PS5 audio switching was sort of a mixed bag issue for me. I don't play on PS5 enough to REALLY warrant it but I do for a fair amount and this may entice me to play more Ps5 with my monitors over my TV.

I would love to try these out and I'm very excited to see they may have fixed the mic and now. I just have no use for the HDMI switcher and they removed the AUX port that I require for my setup. I heard someone mentioned they may be bringing a lesser expensive one of these to market without the HDMI switcher and that would be the one that I purchase If that's true.

The a50x just doesnt even come close to the gen3. If u want to know how it feels just turn off the dolby button and enable a dolby atmos app instead. Thats how it felt using the a50x.

I need two chargers, two cables, two spots to rest when I'm not playing, plus, I also need to memorize all the buttons, functions and placement of the buttons for each headset....... So yes, I will gladly spend that kind of money to be able to have just ONE headset for both of my consoles.... Once again, thanx for the video and wish you all a nice weekend! 👍🏻😉

This product comes with a 5v source, can I connect this doc by powering it via the USB c port without using this source?

Why don''t the A50 X control system volume on PC like every other gaming headset, especially the Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed?

As a gamer with all three devices, I was considering this headset. It is out of stock now so that might be a sign. The convenience was the selling point for me. It will also free up HDMI port(s) on the TV (if I understand the connectivity correctly).

Soo the A50’s X mic won’t let you hear herself talk like how the Last Gen A50’s do? I was using it last night and can hear my friends crystal clear but couldn’t hear myself talk which was really weird lol

Astros have always been a mid tier product for a premium price.

I love all of your content. Thanks for this video. I just have one question. Does the on ear chatmix controls actually work on the PS5? I've been waiting for a headset with this feature besides the pulse headset which I have and hate. For this reason I think I will actually buy these. The mic sounds amazing.

@HardwareCanucks 4 месяца назад

It works if you use both the HDMI and USB-C ports for the PS5 setup. No issues. -D.

What would you recommend for ps5? I currently have the arctis 5, but I'm struggling to find a good headset.

@clawson32104 2 месяца назад

I just got a pair for my PS5 and they are incredibly good. I mainly play shooters and I can hear enemies and small details perfectly. Almost feels like I am cheating. Also the microphone is crystal clear

I might have brought this is they still had optical. Optical is still useful for watching regular TV or playing older consoles. No replacable battery sucks as well. I had a gen 2 A50 and I'm currently using a Gen 4 but when these brake I might switch to Steelseries.

Had a pair of A50s, the band starts to twist so the centre thing falls out. Happened to me, my friend had to 3d print a clip other people had used. It's why I'll never buy them again. Really thought they'd address it with the X. For what they cost (at least here) I can get a full mic/interface/headphones setup, so why wouldn't I?

I already skip buy gaming headset like 2-3 years after I bought Hifiman HE400 se for music & gaming. So I want to ask for now what is most worth it gaming headset for $200 - $230 budget? I don't mind if it's wired or wireless

@mxbigd17 4 месяца назад

I hope they come out with a firmware update. Mine looses video signal to the tv, css as n hear audio just no video. I’ve contacted support several times with no fix yet. I have a Samsung S95b OLED tv but they use LG panels. I wonder if this is the issue I’m having…

@Lazynamingbox 2 месяца назад

is this product still have version 0.0.0 issue? I been using A50 for years but it turns brick time to time.

@fabiankrokaa1114 4 месяца назад

Not changing up the headband design is a huge mistake. It's a known issue that the pad part in the middle tends to just fly off and won't sit properly in the sockets. I've swapped my Astro A50 Genn 4, 4x times. Glad they're finally on better mic quality and USB type C. About time!!!

@mikeyacosta1018 2 месяца назад

do you have a video of up on the astro a50 x setup with elgato 4k x

@yosh_mite 2 месяца назад

If Astro makes this headset without all the console stuff, I'm in. That microphone was AMAZING. Great vid as always Dimitri

I still use mine gen 2 A50 and love it! though the dock sucks when it comes to get the charging going.

@demmye7777 2 месяца назад

I have pc and ps. One sits underneath the other and both on the same monitor. I currently use usb switches for my gen 4 a50s. I have protection on my a50s. Getting them replaced with this is a definite upgrade. No longer need to use switches and can clear my desk of them. Definite W

I had so many issues with my regular A50’s and it finally died. The A50 X I purchased as a replacement and I’m experiencing issues where the image will cut out for a few seconds out of nowhere. I’m already considering returning and going with another brand.

@dougsullivan23 2 месяца назад

Is it really a concern from Astro that the headsets don’t last? I’ve had my a40 trs since they came out for the Xbox one, still work great on my series x, I’ve had to replace some of the extra peices but those are meant to be replaceable

@nebuaa 4 месяца назад

i’m gonna get these headphones. i have the first gen a50’s and ive had them for about 7 years now. it’s definitely time for an upgrade. i work at best buy so they definitely won’t be 380 for me. either a pretty good discount around $100 off or logitech will give us a accommodation of some type.
