Review: Astro A50 Gen 5. Not A50 X - My husband has been using these and absolutely loves them. The sound quality is really good, and they’re an upgrade from his old Astro A50. They’re comfortable enough to wear for hours without bothering his head. The wireless connection is solid overall, though he did mention his old headset had a better range — he could walk to the fridge without disconnecting. The mic quality is clear and his friends can hear him well. Setup was easy, and switching between his Xbox and PC is convenient. He has the PLAYSYNC Audio version (not the PLAYSYNC Video & Audio), and it still works great for his setup. Overall, they’re a great headset and definitely worth it if you game a lot and use two or more systems.

The sound quality is super clear with strong bass and great surround sound, perfect for gaming. The wireless connection is smooth with no lag, and the base station makes charging and switching between devices really easy. Battery life lasts long enough for long gaming sessions, and the headset is very comfortable even after hours of use. Mic quality is clear for party chat and calls. Overall, premium quality and 100% worth it if you want a top-tier gaming headset.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Did Not Expect to Enjoy it This Much
*by M***I on February 2, 2026*

I was really hesitant about the dock and having to connect to the dock. I also heard the sidetone wasn’t great and I really need sidetone, I cannot use an over ear headphone without it. Turns out this has great sidetone, probably the best I ever had, and I actually love the dock as well. Looks awesome on my desk, I can see the connection status and battery level, and honestly I only had an issue getting it to charge maybe once in my couple weeks with it. I think people haven’t really figured out the trick to docking the headphones and that really helps. Basically let the magnet just grab the headphones then push the ear cups down to confirm the connection. What’s also awesome is you never have to turn the headphones off. Just flip the mic up and put it down on the dock. This automatically turns the headset off, charges it, and keeps it ready for when you want it again. It won’t keep your PC/XBOX/PS and phone connected until you pick the headset up again. And no it will not over charge it switches to the docks power when plugged in so the battery doesn’t just drop to 99% and 100% over and over. Overall mic quality is top tier, the dock is much more convenient than I thought with a much larger connection range than you think, comfort is not terrible (I have a big head and it can start to get uncomfortable towards the end of a long gaming session), sound quality is still being experimented with in the eq settings but being able to download other people’s eq settings is awesome (input and output), and this is my first simultaneous connection and headset and let me tell you…it is awesome!
