Astro has a history of delivering some of the best gaming headsets on the market, and while they may not always be the most cost-effective, that doesn't mean they're not worth the cash if you have some to spare.

Astro Gaming's new A50 wireless gaming headset follows its predecessors as one of the most impressive, and pricey, headsets on the market. It rings in at a hefty but justifies its price tag with excellent audio quality and a full feature set, including an attractive charging cradle.

Excellent sound quality; Very comfortable; Convenient charging cradle

Expensive; Bundle/cradle only works with either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One; No wired option for mobile devices

We generally enjoyed the virtual surround sound prowess of Astro Gaming's A50 wireless headset when we reviewed it back in July, but you'll recall it had one especially glaring issue: the audio would frequently cut out.

It's my opinion that the Astro A50 have incredible sound great volume and that they are wireless very comfortable. They only draw back is and it's very small is that there is no custom EQ if you want that then get the A40 TR and all of your needs are met.

Great sound

Very little sound customization

Solid Build Quality; Great Sound; Comfortable; Decent Battery Life
