Excellent comprehensive microphone sound quality testing - THANK YOU! I love the adjustable side tone setting.

I bought my A50X about 3 weeks ago. Absolutely love them. They sound great out of the box to me. I did put the Wicked Cushions Freeze model on mine as I personally prefer how they feel and think they sound better with them on. I mainly play shooters and positional awareness is top notch with these. I'm consistently hearing things so much earlier and with more accuracy than people I'm playing with. Been asked quite a few times what headset I'm using and what particular EQ settings to achieve that awareness. It's just the default EQ and added Wicked Cushions so Logitech must have done something right. Microphone quality has been great as I've heard zero complaints. Honestly my only issue is the sheer amount of cables required for setup. Of which you do need to provide 2 HDMI 2.1 cables as Logitech decided not to include those in a $389.99 product. I'm using my A50X on just a PS5 and have a total of 4 cables into the back of the base station for proper setup according to what I followed on Logitechs channel. That's a lot of cables and a cable management nightmare for some. I was also apprehensive about purchasing considering they have not worked with some monitors and TV'S. Lucking they worked perfectly right away with my Asus PG27AQDM monitor. Honestly I think they are work every penny they cost. I mean $389 is a lot but honestly the Nova Pro Wireless are $349 and practically required the Wicked Cushions just to avoid the ANC bumps. That makes them about equal price. I honestly don't think the Wicked Cushions are necessary for the A50X but to me it's personal preference.

Thanks for doing updates on products that have received a firmware update. Most content creators just review products upon original release and never come back to tell people what the firmware has done to fix issues. Cheers!

Im Ps5/Switch Only, but I am Happy with my purchase. Highly Recommend them. Save your money as these will be the last pair of headphones you will ever need in a long time 🎧 .

is the base station good? cz i remember gen 4 was terrible in charging. let me know if u dock your a50 it's automatically charging not having to remove it and dock it 50 times to snap into place

As someone who has all of his gaming stuff on one desk, I'm mostly just happy with being able to swap between them with a button on the dock and leave the extra HDMI ports open on my monitor for whatever else I need them for. Usually a PS2 with an HDMI adaptor, Switch, and my PS3.

Does anybody know where you get the screws from that hold the headphones together they seem to have fallen out on my headsets all tape together

So I really want to love this headset. I have an lll white set up so it goes with everything. However, I have a few issues: - when i switch to PS5 is shows it disconnect from Wave Link and have no idea why. -switching from PS5 to PC works, but i still have to switch to PS5 video input manually. it jsut doesnt work. I used to use wave link so i could switch between speakers and headset on the fly, but it just doesnt work here.

Does it work with LG monitors now? And how does it work with a dual monitor setup and or an elgato? If anyone can help with any of these questions that would be greatly appreciated.

This headset is so good. The mic is insane for any gaming headset.

I haven't tested the SteelSeries nova pro wireless, among the three, which do you think is the best? Mainly for fps games where the sound of footsteps is important.

Could you just use the standard Gen 4 A50 ear pads? I think they have a larger ear cavity. I have had them for years and never had any scratchy feeling. They are so comfortable and never get too hot.

There’s a top centerpiece that keeps falling out it connects the two parallel bands And the base station had a really hard time, even after software updates and restores The lights were always reading errors for improper placement on wireless charging Another one is for when it completely can’t find the headphones that’s what I got all the time Headphones can be. I didn’t count on the next unit not just falling apart like the first one. This is of course, the previous generation of Astro a50

I have 32GQ750-B monitor and have two HMDI 2.1 cords and followed the tutorial on how to set up Astro a50X to the PS5 did all that and I still have a black screen and when I disconnect everything and hook up just the HMDI that came with the PS5 it works

I went through one headset a year on pc. The copper in the cords would break. The wireless 100 USD headsets same time frame of one year. They would stop holding a charge and the plug in would always be janky usb c insert. A50 series uses copper charging prongs on a docking station. I've gotten almost 5 years out of my current one and have loved it. I have now saved money even though I paid 350-400 dollars for it. It beats 5 years of 100 dollar headsets yearly. I am due for a new one now though. The charge is finally getting weaker and dies in about 4 hours.

The flickering has to do with the HDMI cable, it’s happened to me when I bought a cable. I also tried a 30 dollar HDMI 2.1 cable and it didn’t work, so I switch to another cable and it worked great 👍, not all 2.1 cables will work.

nice review, but there was nothing you mentioned that makes this worth $600 CAD with tax. its criminal

An A50x light would be perfect for me here’s to wishing

I've bought every A50. I'll buy it to only use it with a PC, idc. Over the last 10 years these headphones have provided everything I could ask for. I hear sounds so well when combined with the Dolby Atmos directional surround sound. I'm usually picking up on sounds and directions that my friends can't pick up on with their cheaper headsets. You can definitely get a good gaming headset for half the price, my friends just have shitty ones lmao. But yeah I'm loyal to these and idc about the cheaper headsets being 90% as good.

heres the problem no youtuber is saying. if your a PC gamer dont use the HDMI port as it only supports 4K 120 so if you have a monitor that is 240 or above you will only be limited to 120hz the work around for this is to use the HDMI on a second Monitor Not your prime reasons is do to it being 120hz Pass when you go to display and you have a 144,165,240 monitor or above you will only get the option of 120hz it works just like a capture card. like the elgato HD60X or NZXT Signal 4K30. now that being said makes you think all the people reviewing this and saying there gamers are they really. cuz the hardcore gamers all still using the Astro A50s over the A50X it most tell you right there that something is not right with the headset when you dont see COD, Apex nore Fortnite gamers using them.

Here, the thing why they are not talking about it is because the PC doesn't use the HDMI that's only for Xbox and PlayStation; that uses HDMI and Type C cable. The PC only uses the red Type C cable that powers the base, and for the sound for the PC you have to plug in your screen to your computer; that's the only option
