Bottom LineThe latest Astro Gaming A50 wireless gaming headset feels and sounds excellent, but it's a pricey option in an increasingly competitive field...
In design, in presentation, in convenience, Astro's new A50 finally delivers a compelling reason for fans to upgrade their old A50 headset. The charging station is an excellent (albeit ostentatious) bit of work, the motion-sensing auto-on/off is a genius...
Sure, the A50 is fantastic. It's definitely the best wireless gaming headset, and it's up there with the best headsets overall. But is it $300 fantastic? The HyperX Cloud features some great audio and a decent enough microphone for just $80. The A40 is ar...
The Astro A50 Wireless is premium in just about every respect, from design and build to the features and audio quality on offer, and the price-tag reflects that.The USB base station doubles up as a wireless charger, making sure your headset is always full...

Premium price tag for this premium headset, Colours might not be for everyone
The Astro A50 is everything I hoped it would be.Sound quality is excellent and it is remarkably comfortable to wear for extended gaming.I do love the freedom of the 5Ghz wireless tech and there is no discernible drop in sound quality between these and the...

Overall then, we had a great experience with the Astro A50 Wireless + Base Station. Everything about this gaming audio system just screams premium - well, everything but the cloth ear cushions and headband cushion (can be upgraded to synthetic leather...
Expensive, “Astro, have, already proven they can make some of the best headsets money can buy, for, a range of gaming formats, now they’ve decimated the competition once again with their latest headset for the Xbox One. It’s expensive, but you certainly
PricePrice is certainly going to be the downfall for Astro, the headset clocks in at a wallet killing £250 and that's expensive no matter which way you look at it. However, when you consider the range of features on offer, the build quality and the perfor...

Shown above we have the headset on its stand and overall it is a nice addition to the bundle and a good place to store the MIXAMP TX so Astro are already off to a good start on the basics and continue that by including all the cables we need to get starte...

Excellent sound fidelity and mixing, Soft, comfy ear cups, Out of the box, connects to anything with an optical port
Variable battery performance, Lack of separate channels for talk and game sound, Useful cables and adapters sold separately
We heartily recommend the Astro A50 to any gamer who wants a powerful, versatile headset. It offers excellent sound fidelity and mixing, and being able to use it on a PC, Mac, Xbox 360 or PS3 makes it worth the money. While going between multiple devices...
