🎮 Renewed ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Dolby Gaming Headset - Black/Green - Xbox One & PC Review

This review is about the THIRD generation of the headset, i. E. Gen3. In 2022, at the time of writing this review, it is not yet officially sold. Different pros: -Great sound quality that surpasses many big name wired headphones. - Work in both normal and Dolby modes. High quality surround sound in the latter. -In PC mode, it can work both from a computer sound card via an optical cable connected to the S / PDIF connector, and through its own sound processor. -Superior soft ear pads and…

It's quite annoying that the $200 headset cuts out the audio at random intervals. It doesn't matter if they are fully charged and wireless or connected to a base station via USB. If you're on the final round listening to a tournament in a war zone, you CANNOT rely on the best Astro flagship headphones. They just turn off and you have to struggle to reset them or disable the base station and restart, it's a hassle. It cost me $10,000 total, but hey, who cares, it's just a video game.

Something is wrong with the cables, they won't stay connected to the base OR Xbox, they keep dangling and falling out. Xbox didn't even recognize the device. Spent hours troubleshooting and finally concluded that the base must be defective. Please note that this is a refurbished product! I didn't see that I wouldn't have gotten them if I had known. Plus, getting them to charge is a chore. You have to place them perfectly in a very precise position. Why not just connect them? What the hell were…

I have a mid (5.1) surround sound system that sounds great in my wide but flat living room and when I put on these headphones it really does look like I've got that system in right now 7.1 transformed system, the only difference is that I have ear cups now. You can hear clearly in all directions. Absolutely impressed with these things. They are comfortable, the mic turns off when held upright with the headband on and sounds crystal clear when on! Although it's a bit pricey, if you want real…

I was glad to open the product. I connected it to my Xbox and started playing. The sound quality was amazing. My son agreed and we started playing together. The microphone didn't work. After a few steps to get the mic working we can play again. After a few minutes, the noise will start to go away. When my son and I spoke to each other, it sounded like a distorted robot. Eventually it went away, but kept coming back. The next day we put it back in, the mic didn't work. This time the audio…

A bit tight on the head, which I don't like. I also play in a chair so I accidentally turn the volume down since the volume button is on the outside of the earcup. The range isn't that great. A far cry from what my Turtle Beach headset had. But the shaving headset I replaced this with has a shorter range than these. I would say more than that. The range isn't very good, I think that's the point. Maybe outside the room. And if you're lucky, then in the next one. They also charge funky. You need…

The product itself was very good, it had extremely high sound quality, far better than the headsets I've had before, they were actually in very good condition, they looked almost new . don't do a very good job, they come with no instructions on how to set it up. so i spent hours on youtube watching how to make videos and googling info and went through a bunch of shit that didn't work, bought the $17 xbox app for this headset and still didn't pay off. The problem is that the microphone doesn't…

This is my first on-ear gaming headset. I've always used smaller over-ear headphones in the past. I usually buy much cheaper ones via other brands too (logi-you know who). I've had them for about a month now and I feel like I can give an honest review. Everything Xbox/PC related first. Yes, you can connect it to your PC OR to your XBox. You cannot connect them to both at the same time. As long as there is a toggle button, that button determines whether or not the optical input is used by the…

This headset is an assembly of all the possible advantages that competitors may have, but the result is not 19,000. I had a lot of gaming headsets: razer electra, logitech g35, g430, g930, listened to g933, there were creative tactics 3d compared to them, astro is not better, and perhaps even worse, especially in terms of the combination of characteristics.
