The A50 is famous for a reason: It's one of the best gaming-oriented headsets on the market, if not the best. The 2014 edition retains that mantle.

Loud; clear microphone; Phenomenal audio; right out of the box

Exorbitant price-you could get audiophile-grade headphones for this; Velvety earcups get sweaty; pick up lint

With the PS4 and Xbox One having been released for quite some time now, it was only a matter of time that the platforms became the primary choices for eSports gaming here at EGL. In all honesty, I'm quite surprised at how quickly the transition was made to PS4 and XBO events, but I place a lot of...

The creation of the Astro A50 Headset was in part a request by Best Buy, a retailer so thoroughly impressed by the quality and pre-orders for the A40 Headset during its trial period that they decided to skip right to national distribution.

Astro A50 Wireless Gaming Headset for PC & PS4 is definitely one of the top choices in the premium, wireless gaming headsets list. It has great audio positioning and quality for gaming, light and comfortable to wear, and includes a premium charging cradle to charge your headset while not in use.

The Astro A50 Wireless is one of the most expensive gaming headsets on offer, but the features, build quality and Dolby-powered audio quality largely reflect the high price point.

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!

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.
