I had originally gone with the Audeze Maxwell 2 after my Astro A40 failed after years of use, and while the Maxwell 2 had amazing build quality and 70+ hours of battery life, I found the sound quality disappointing and the headset uncomfortable. I expected better out of the box performance and comfortability from an audiophile-focused brand like Audeze. The Astro A50X is so much lighter and more comfortable to wear for long periods, as well as just sounding better right out of the box. I will say the build quality could be better, the pad at the top is attached with some fairly flimsy looking plastic snap-points, but at least it's lightweight. I just feel like if I were to twist it a tad too much it would break, so I always handle it with both hands. The charging stand is a nice plus as well, as it lets me see how much charge I have left at a glance without opening the Logitech app, and acts as a wireless dongle so I don't have to use finicky Bluetooth. Assuming it holds up over the next few years, I'd definitely recommend this headset.

I have owned them for a few days and I am genuinely sad about this, it seemed so perfect, the sound is great, I need a switch for my HDMI inputs, but who in their right mind decides to make a product into a multi HDMI switch and just decides not to put one in the PC slot. I wish I wasn't so upset about this, but this is my ideal headphone setup if someone didn't try to save $3 on production by removing a jack on a $300-$350 headset. If this headset was $100 I would just install it in the xbox jacks and use it as a 2 way switch, but no way am I tolerating this on a $300 setup. "ok but why not just plug in your monitor to your PC separately? that seems like what they want you to do" well because of two things. first, what if you do not have multiple HDMI in on your monitor, as many high end gaming monitors do. Second, if you do have multiple HDMI jacks using multiple of them at a time has issues. Your computer behaves as if it is connected to HDMI making what would have been on the monitor be off the side of the screen. You may need to shut down your computer depending on the tolerance of your monitor for "stealing" the selected input. YOU CANNOT LISTEN TO YOUR COMPUTER WHILE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES, this one would have been an issue either way, but the way that it works now it just ARBITRARILY shuts off your computers audio in spite of it not even being fully connected. Be better Logitech, I used to love you as a company and suggest you to my friends and clients, now I can no longer suggest your products to anybody because between this and the power play 2(see the end for the explanation) and all the other products you have been making worse to save infinitesimal amounts of money, I just do not trust you any more! To address the power play situation, they released a mousepad that wirelessly charges your mouse, then took it off production and made another one that is WORSE IN EVERY WAY FOR THE SAME MSRP, check the prices, at time of writing powerplay 2 is $120, powerplay 1 is above $300 in spite of originally being $120 because nobody who knows what they are talking about wants the 2 and scalpers have a monopoly. Again, I am not talking as a hater, I just feel burned and sad because a company I used to like is falling fast. To address amazon's points, lightspeed has a decent connection range but does not go through walls, it is pretty plug and play, if you can run g hub it will make your life easy, I never got to use the mic, I charged it first and it dropped one dot (goes on a 4 dot power system) in about an hour, so 4 hour battery life? not sure.

These are hands down the best wireless headphones I’ve ever used, and I’m not saying that lightly. I’ve gone through a ton of different headsets over the years, trying to find something that actually checks every box, and these are the first ones that genuinely do. The sound quality is on another level. Everything is clear, balanced, and actually immersive without being muddy or over-tuned. You can hear details you normally miss, whether you’re gaming, watching something, or just listening to music. Comfort is just as impressive. I can wear these for hours and not even think about them. No pressure points, no fatigue, just a really solid fit that feels natural. The wireless performance is flawless. No random cutouts, no weird connection issues, just consistent, reliable audio every time. Battery life has also been great and easily keeps up with long sessions. The base station is one of those things you don’t realize you need until you have it. It just makes everything seamless switching between devices, charging, and keeping everything clean on your setup. Honestly, there isn’t a weak point here. Sound, comfort, build quality, features, everything is dialed in. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. These are worth it.

Would give a 4.5 tbh. The sound is stellar in gaming. Whether Xbox, PS5 or PC it delivers. The have a rich sound with a wide soundscape which I prefer. The comfort level is a big selling point for me. The earpads are soft and light. No issue with clamping and can wear for a long gaming session without discomfort. I have used other higher end gaming headphones (like the Arctis Nova Pro), and these are more comfortable to me. I also think the A50X have a bit better sound quality than the Arctis Nova Pro. (I understand that is a personal preference as the Nova Pro's are excellent as well) I love the platform switching and it is done right on the headphones. Very easy. The mic is really good. Very clear and not as thin sounding as others I have tried. Overall, I really love these headphones. I would give them a 4.5 out of 5. I wish the software was a little better and I would like to have more customization options like programmable lighting. Other than that, I have a hard time not recommending these as your go to-all around-use on every platform you have headphones. Love them!

I’ve had a positive experience with the Astro A50 X headset overall, though there are some notable PROS and CONS. PROS: High-Quality Sound The HDMI audio connection to the base station delivers exceptional sound quality, with the added benefit of wireless convenience. This setup allows for seamless syncing with 4K 120Hz, HDR, VRR, and ALLM settings enabled, making it ideal for high-performance gaming. Convenient Charging Dock One of the standout features is the simple charging method via docking, a design choice that adds convenience and efficiency. I wish more brands implemented such a straightforward solution. LG C3 OLED Compatibility I use the headset with an LG C3 42" OLED TV for console gaming, and it resolves a common issue I’ve encountered with the Xbox Series X. Normally, when I turn on the console, I’m prompted to set up the Xbox with passthrough, but with this base station, that message is bypassed. I can simply pick up the headset, and the Xbox turns on—no interruptions. Effortless Device Switching Another great feature is the ability to switch between Xbox Series X and PC for audio, video, and microphone use with a single button press. This eliminates the need for changing cables and feels like having a KVM switch with additional functionality, making it highly efficient for multi-device setups. Superior Microphone Quality The microphone quality is exceptional. I consistently receive feedback from friends that my voice is clearer and more distinct, even from those who are usually quick to critique. Advanced Customizable Sound Settings The EQ settings, coupled with the ability to share sound profiles globally, offer an impressive degree of customization that significantly enhances the overall user experience. Whether you're adjusting for deep bass in action games, clearer dialogue in movies, or more balanced audio for music, the fine-tuning options allow you to tailor the sound precisely to your personal preferences and specific use cases. This level of control ensures that the audio experience can be as immersive or nuanced as you need, adapting to any scenario with ease. Dolby Atmos License While I didn’t take full advantage of it, the headset comes with a Dolby Atmos license, which is a valuable addition for immersive audio experiences. Wireless Connectivity The freedom of wireless functionality is a significant plus, allowing for an uncluttered gaming experience. Minimalist Design The sleek, black design fits seamlessly into my setup, maintaining a clean and cohesive aesthetic. CONS: Price Point While the Astro A50 X excels in many areas, it is undeniably overpriced. I purchased mine "used, like new" on Amazon at a discount, but the retail price of nearly $400 is steep. This headset would be more appropriately priced in the $200 range, given its features. No Included HDMI Cables Given the price point, it’s surprising that HDMI cables are not included. This oversight seems particularly glaring for a premium product. Uncomfortable Fit Comfort is where the headset falls short. The earmuffs and headband are awkwardly designed and made from materials that feel scratchy and unsupportive. It’s like wearing a loose sweater on your head, which is disappointing for a high-end device. I had to invest an additional $40 in leatherette earmuffs and a headband for added comfort, as well as a boom for the microphone to reduce wind noise. Inconsistent Audio Wheel The audio wheel lacks precision, offering only 21 levels of adjustment. The fact that the middle point is at 52% seems arbitrary and frustrating for users who prefer more granular control. Unfortunately, this can’t be corrected in the application either. Lack of Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) The absence of ANC is a missed opportunity. When listening to music or watching movies, I would prefer not to hear background noise like my fan or other ambient sounds. While the lack of ANC might not be a dealbreaker, it would have been a welcome addition for a fully immersive experience. In summary, despite its drawbacks, I’m satisfied with my Astro A50 X purchase. The PROS significantly outweigh the CONS, especially if you prioritize performance and convenience in both console and PC gaming. However, given the price, I’d only recommend it to users who are looking for a premium, multi-device solution and are willing to overlook some comfort issues.

The sound is top notch with a noticeable difference from your standard headsets whether it be for gaming or for media usage. Comfortable for long use sessions and the use of Logitech sound profiles is a very nice feature, letting you download profiles made by others and personally customize the sound to your liking. The sound is actually dynamic and in gaming use especially you can tell exactly where sounds are coming from whether it be behind, above or beside you. The battery is good, not exceptional but very good and they charge fairly fast. Overall a great headset worth the money if you appreciate good sound quality and dynamic performance, especially in gaming.

As good as they say, ordered these because many mention the quality between microphone and speakers were actually balanced pretty well, Normally its one or the other, good mic or good sound, very rarely both, in fact as far as I know there is only one other at this price range to have both good sound and mic quality. That said, these are a bit pricey, so you'll be spending more then the average no matter what, but the sound quality is great and my mic sounds as good or better I've been told then my desk mic, these keep up with most entry level studio headphones, maybe even some mid level studio grade headphones, The connection is pretty good too, I've had no issues, all and all these are great and worth the money, That all said, there are cons, for me, just one, I have to adjust the first at least once a week, and adjusting requires you to take off the headset, and if your eyes are not perfect you'll have to look closely at the barely visible lines/numbers to get each side to match, really needs a way to lock them to the size you want, these don't feel like they are locked in, in anyway, but friction keeping them where they are, these also did come pretty tight on my head but has sense stretched to fit comfortably.

Very happy with it

Los agarre a un super precio de $160 USD y la verdad si valen mucho la pena, yo me esperaría a promos que salen cada dos tres meses si en verdad les interesa tenerlos, la verdad son cómodos, muy buen audio y de buenos materiales, otra recomendación es comprar un HDMI 2.1 ya que les hará falta uno extra, en caso de ser de PS como yo, de ahí en fuera super bien, no me puedo quejar, el software en la app es super fácil de usar y entender y la conectividad es increíble yo los uso en mi PS y ademas en mi Nintendo Switch 2 y funcionan de maravilla, la verdad es lo mejor del mercado para gaming sin duda el precio es un condicional importante pero si como yo los cazan en oferta sin duda es la mejor opción. Me llegaron en un día para otro y super bien todo, sin quejas.

Ótimo produto! Estava a procura de um headset bom e achei! Vale a pena.

I was hesitant to buy these despite owning the Gen3 since 2016 due to the bluetooth. After a decade the Gen3 battery finally died and needs a constant power supply. >Bluetooth works flawlessly, long range >Audio is great, rivals $900 660s + Element 3 amp >Mic compared to Shure SM7dB is pretty good >Works with Linux, just needs some adjusting >Never used the software, don't have GHUB In the ear pad picture you'll see the size difference between the Astro A50 open-back versus the aftermarket closed-back. The closed-back is wider and doesn't flatten while providing noise isolation, reducing audio leaking out or in providing better sound. The open-back Astros will flatten on your ear and will not fit properly. So you will definitely have to purchase a new pair and I recommend it for better audio anyway. The old Gen3 had firmer open-back pads but also offered full faux leather closed-back straight from Astro, both were fantastic, the new ones suck. Linux users: Use Pulse Audio to set A50 X profile to "Pro Audio" in Configuration. Then in Easy Effects, Output at the top, Effects on the bottom, add an Equalizer then you can use LSP Parametric Equalizer in the "Show Native Window" from the right side options, if you have it. This will allow you to fine tune the audio to absolute precise perfection without any GHUB software.

Sonido excelente, se escucha muy bien tanto para música como para juegos, puedes ecualizar todo a tu gusto, cumple.correctamente cada aspecto, la batería dura aproximadamente unas 5hrs de juego intenso, no son pesados ni cansa usarlos, sin embargo la esponja de la parte superior está un poco delgada y suele incomodar después de unas 3hrs
