A couple weeks ago I reviewed the Skullcandy PLYR 2 Wireless Gaming Headset. As an entry-level device, it was pretty good. Getting into the wireless headset arena, cutting your cords with your computer, and experiencing good sound for $129 is not a bad deal.

Astro has delivered a top quality headset at a top quality price. At $299 it's a lot to ask for, but they deliver on absolutely everything. Wireless works with zero problem, the battery is more than ample, and pairing up with the PlayStation 3 is quick and easy. Oh yeah, it sounds amazing!

Stunning sound quality; 10-hour battery life; Wireless; wireless; wireless

Dependency on optical for audio

Don't judge the hardware by the software it chooses to affiliate itself with. While Battlefield 4 continues to be a broken mess that somehow seems to get worse with each supposed patch, the good news is that relationship that game shares with the new ASTRO Gaming A50 Battlefield 4? Edition is purely...

Positives Sexy design; outstanding audio fidelity; all-inclusive package; supports multiple consoles and PC

Negatives Top end of the price spectrum; Xbox still requires chat cable

The sound is great. When I first launched the headphones I had to make sure my TV volume was still off because I couldn't even tell that those were the headphones. The binaural audio really doesn't seem all too different from other headsets and it's bluetooth range doesn't seem to work from all too...

i love the audio on this headset, its awesome. though me and plenty of friends have had issues with the wires, i would never say this headset is wireless. i have to charge it for a week straight for them to not die whilest playing.

Good quality. Works great. Used it on my pc for gaming and also on my Xbox one. Works just as seller described. Very good value at half the price of brand new!

Pros: - Excellent sound and mic quality - Long battery life (Up to 8 hours, depending on settings) - Great comfortability - Easy to setup and use Cons: - Sound from the headset can be easily heard by others (Sound escapes) - Ear cushions can be very uncomfortable in a hot environment (It's like...

The sound quality is amazing the mic is meh but it still gets the job done and range is good. But the reason why people get bad range is that its 5ghz not 2.4ghz which means it can't go through walls as easy which results in bad range.

Previously used gen1 which last me for the last 5-6years without any issues, upgraded to this one because my dog destroyed my gen1. Quality seems to be a little bit better, the charging station is a very nice idea and feature.

If the A50s gave you the option to customize the presets, I imagine that they would be great for FPS gaming. However, they do not and even the preset with the least low end has too much to hear any of the subtler sounds (e.g., footsteps).

Sturdy and pretty comfortable

Limited presets; too much bass for FPS use; sound not customizable; charge does not last 810 hours
