The headset I had before this was a g930 Logitech 7.1 headset. I really love the spatial and positioning sound quality. The A50 quality was substandard and the spatial acuteness was lacking. I purchased this to go on my PC.

Anybody who knows me best will tell you that I'm picky. Actually, to say that I'm picky would be an understatement. I work hard for my money and absolutely demand to feel that I get what I'm paying for, even if my perception of "what I deserve to get" for that money at any given price point is...

Sure, they aren't cheap, but Astro A50's are one piece of gaming hardware that will make all of your games better.

The A50s are presented in a large box that has a black cardboard outer shell. Taking the box out of this shell reveals a beautiful graffitied design. You will also find an extremely helpful and well designed brochure that explains how to set up the device for each system.

Great all-around performance. Both professionals and owners say the Astro Gaming A50 delivers great sound for a variety of uses. In gaming mode it transmits in-game sounds clearly with plenty of volume, and its virtual surround sound, in the words of one Amazon.com reviewer, "really enhances...

Excellent audio quality; Strong wireless performance; Compatible with many consoles and computers; Comfortable

The Astro A50 made every game title we played more engrossing and entertaining with terrific virtual surround and extremely visceral, powerful sound.

Immersive virtual sound environment; Pristine clarity; Comfortable design; Great balance

Slightly bright treble; EQ switch doesn't deliver

Astro have done it again, time and time again they've shown me that they can make an exceptional headset that will leave your jaw on the floor. Sure it'll also leave your bank balance looking pretty beat up, but you only need to test it once to be convinced it was money well spent.

Class-leading sound quality; Flawless wireless signal; Stylish design; Dolby processing; Powerful and clear sound; Exceptional build quality; Comfortable; Rechargeable

Expensive

Astro Gaming has been producing some pretty good headsets over the years, as evidenced when MLG started using them as their go-to headset for eSports tournaments. Since then headsets have come and gone in the eSports circuit, but if one thing remains though it is that Astro has a great reputation...

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

Limited EQ modes; Not 100% Wireless; Mic-monitoring limited; if any; Kind of Pricey – $300 USD
