ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset with Base Station Gen 4, USB Radio Frequency, Unidirectional Microphone Headphones, Compatible with PS4, PS5, PC Windows, Mac, Black (Renewed)

If your Gen 3 is in Good Condition, I would say upgrading is not worth it. But My Gen 3 was 7 years old, and this upgrade was worth it. Sound quality is about the same, maybe a little better. Microphone quality is better, still have problems sitting the headset on the deck and it actually charge. Pros- Looks nicer, Newer, and battery life is much better. Cons- Charger Deck is hard to get it charging. The headset isnt super loud (Im half deaf though, may just be me) you need an application to change Mic volume. All in all, I would recommend Astros to anyone. There my favorite headset

I have this same headset for my xbox so I decided to try a renewed for my ps5, since it was half the new price. Other than the micro USB cord that came with it not fitting tightly in the base, works just as well as my xbox headset. Just used one of my countless micro USB cords I had. The ps5 does not power the base on in rest mode. But I can use my xbox base to charge it just gotta set it on the ps base after powering the ps5 on to resync with that base.

First headset delivered was defective from the moment it was turned on. Second set was delivered within a couple days, so that was very nice. So far the second pair of headphones are having an issue with the buttons on the right side of the headset. The sound is spectacular and everything else is nice so far. As long as they dont fail within a couple months i might give it a slightly higher rating. Update: the left headphone has lost a significant amount of sound quality. If these are the first time buying astro headphones, id recommend buying new. These will not show you the quality of real astro headphones. Final update: these are not worth purchasing. They have officially stopped working and appear to be a cash grab.

I purchased the refurbished ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset with Base Station Gen 4 for my son, an avid 18-year-old gamer, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Despite being refurbished, the headset arrived in pristine condition, with the packaging intact and everything looking brand new. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the box to share because my son tore it open immediately— he was that excited! According to my son, these are the best headphones he has ever used. The padding on the earphones is exceptionally comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the sound quality is crystal clear, enhancing the gaming experience with precise audio cues that are crucial in competitive gaming. The wireless functionality is a game changer, providing the freedom to move without getting tangled in wires, which is a huge plus during intense gaming sessions. The unidirectional microphone also delivers clear communication, a must-have for coordinating with teammates in online games. Overall, this headset has not only met but exceeded our expectations, making it a top recommendation for any serious gamer.

I have ADHD, I WILL forget to charge every single device I own. It’s so frustrating when my friends want to game or chat on discord and my headphones are dead. I have to either wire into my PC and adjust my setup so the wire will reach- or I have to use my speakers and disturb my housemates. I love being able to just put my headphones on the dock and they’re always charged. It’s a game changer for me. Since having them my friends have commented that my mic sounds better than both my fifine and blue yeti- so that’s a nice bonus! The sound is great but I’m not a sound expert so I’m easy to please.

I was originally deciding between this and a SteelSeries headset, and I went with the Astro A50s thinking I was getting something high-end. At first, they seemed decent — but less than 6 months in, I’ve officially had enough. I just ordered a SteelSeries headset because I can’t deal with how frustrating this one has been. The biggest issue? The microphone is awful. No one can hear me clearly — I get constant complaints about my mic quality no matter what I’m doing. I've literally ended up using my cell phone as a microphone just so people can hear me in Discord. I even tried troubleshooting by opening the earcup and found exposed copper wires touching near the mic. I separated them with electrical tape, which helped for a bit, but the problem came right back. Sometimes a full PC restart will temporarily fix it, but that’s not exactly a solution. To make things worse, the top head strap started falling apart within a few weeks. The cushion tabs kept popping out, and apparently that’s a known issue. Most people are gluing it back together — which is just wild for a headset at this price. I gave up and used rubber bands to keep it together. To be fair, the audio itself sounds fine, and I do like the Astro Command Center with the EQ customization. But the wireless range is nothing to write home about — walk 50 feet with a wall in between and it cuts out. I’m giving it 3 stars only because the sound is passable and the software has some nice features. But between the falling-apart headband, the garbage mic, and needing to jerry-rig a premium headset just to make it work, I can’t recommend this. Wish I had gone with SteelSeries from the start.

If these are considered "Mid Range" headsets, then anything above this would be considered professional grade. These are comfortable enough for long gaming sessions. I love that they're plug and play right out of the box without any need for setup(PS4). I like the different customizable modes for sound quality. The sound quality in game is so good that I swear that it made my eyesight better. You can pinpoint the direction of the noises in 3D with these. I highly recommend these for the price point.

Even though I had to return mine due to finding a different pair I was happy with. I really enjoyed this pair a lot. The cushion are of a velvet texture. And where the cups connect to the band were made of good material. I was not happy the whole thing wasn’t fully metal which is what I was looking for. But overall these are light and the sound quality from the drivers are top notch. I don’t like that you need a base to charge them and the base needs to be connected to the ps5 at all times and not just a simple usb drive.

Funciona excelente, y su calidad de sonido es increíble

Es la primera vez que compro un producto renewed y al leer las reseñas me dio un poco de miedo, sin embargo noté que las malas reseñas podían ser de personas que no sabían configurarlos, tuve que investigar un poco ya que yo los uso en pc y la primera vez funcionaron pero después no es que no funcionaran sino que mi pc no quería detectar el wifi, mencionaré por si alguien ve mi reseña que pueden fallar o tu pc si tu pc no está conectada a internet por medio de un cable ya que los audífonos funcionan por medio de una banda de 5Ghz al igual que los wifi de ahora entonces puede generar interferencia pero si conectas tu pc por cable no habrá ningún problema, los recomiendo, me llegaron técnicamente nuevos y nada más la caja un poco desgastada pero con sello de astro de verificación de que sirve todo al 100 y así ha sido.

2 días de uso y al tercer día no se escuchan, no cargan y la base no los reconoce :/ El empaque consistía en 2 cajas la externa genérica y la interna también genérica. En cuanto a la separación entre caja externa y la interna si tenían algo de protección en forma de bolsas de aire, sin embargo en la caja interna (que es donde estaban los audífonos) parecía bastante improvisado, tenia una bolsa gruesa y algunas bolsas verdes desinfladas a modo de protección o no se (como se muestra en la foto). La primera vez que los conecte a la PC las instrucciones marcaban que debían cargase por completo, los deje toda la tarde y ya estaban listos, la computadora los reconoció rápido y en general estaba contento con mi compra, sin embargo al tercer día de uso empezaron los problemas, la computadora los reconocía pero simplemente no reproducían ningún sonido, busque en internet si era algún tipo de configuración pero nada, luego los coloque en su base y esta no los reconocía, finalmente el led que indica que los audífonos están funcionando se apago y no volvió a encender. Perdida total. Solicite el reembolso a ver si no tarda demasiado.

-En muy buen estado. -Excelente calidad de audio. -Un poco pesados si no estás acostumbrado. -Compatible con PC, PS5 y PS4 sin necesidad de convertir o extensión. -El micrófono dejó de funcionar correctamente a los 4 meses.

Son muy buenos tras probar los de un amigo pero no me fijé que eran para Playstation, y yo uso Xbox😿
