G Astro A50 X

Having tried them all, this user considers the Astro A50 X the best gaming headset available.

“I got lucky and was able to get what I feel is the best of the best available headset specifically for gaming - A50X”

A PS5 Pro and PC player says the Astro A50 X hits all the marks, switching platforms seamlessly with a next-level mic, but can get warm, is pricey and has poor Bluetooth.

“Ive tried many headsets and the only one that seems to hit all the marks is the Astro A50X.”

Having tried both, this buyer prefers the Astro A50 X to the Nova Pro, with Bluetooth range the only issue.

“I have tried the A50x and the Nova Pro, and so far I like the A50x more than the Nova Pro.”

After limited hours, a user finds the Astro A50 X pretty good, with the earcups as their only complaint.

“Astro a 50x seems pretty fine i dont have much hours on the headset itself but it was Pretty good my only complaint was the earcup”

A 46-year-old gamer says the Astro A50 X is the most all-around superb headset they've ever owned.

“46 year old gamer and have **never** had a headset as all around superb, in every facet, until these.”

After their Maxwells died, a gamer switched to the Astro A50 X and calls it the best headset they've owned.

“so I went with Astro a50x and haven’t been happier since. It’s by far the best headset I’ve ever owned”

An A50 Gen 4 owner quickly returned the A50 X, finding its surround sound dull and flat.

“I have the a50 gen 4 and something about the surround sound on it sounds so much better than the new a50x. I returned that thing so fast”

A user loves their Astro A50 X.

“I love my Astro a50x, (especially as I got them free due to an Amazon error lol)”

The Astro A50 X is more comfortable and punchier than their Maxwell 2, though the Maxwell 2 sounds better.

“I have maxwell 2 and astro a50x. A50s are more comfortable and punchier but i dont think we’re going to be beating maxwell 2s on sound.”

Found the Astro A50 X horrible for positional accuracy compared with a BlackShark V3.

“switched to the astro a50x and in my opinion they r horrible for positional accuracy when I compared them to the black shark v3 that I tried”

Upgraded from an Arctis Pro Wireless; with a larger head they find the Astro A50 X much more comfortable, with a better mic and sound.

“Find the A50X much more comfortable (have a larger head and the Arctis never really suited) mic is much better and sound quality much better too.”

They had it for a few weeks and found it awful compared with the Arctis Nova Pro Omni.

“I had the a50x for a few weeks and they’re awful.”

They love it despite Logitech lagging on spec sheets; there's slim pickings for better.

“Love my a50x and dare i say X3 Lightspeed.”

Went back to it after trying the Maxwell 2 and BlackShark V3 Pro: so comfortable, with convenient multi-console dock.

“I absolutely love my Astro A50X. I sold them and got the Maxwell 2 to try and had the Razer Blackshark v3 Pro, but sold them and went back to Astro.”

One of the best headsets they've used for Call of Duty: good directional footsteps and EQ from the phone app.

“I’ve decided to go with the Astro A50X and I’m so glad I did.”

Totally worth it at a $100 discount.

“Only the A50Xs are worthy if you can get them on discount, I got $100 on discount, they are totally worth it.”
