Astro a50's worth the price?

Thinking of buying a set. Anyone who owns a pair care to share their opinions on the headset? It would be greatly appreciated to hear from real world daily gamers

  • I have A-50's with the PS4. They sound great and I have no issue with the battery life. I generally play for about five hours a night and just recharge during the day. Only issue I have is the complete lack of mic monitoring. You won't be able to hear your own voice when talking in chat parties. Also no issues with the wireless connection. My last set was the TB XP500 and I had all kinds of connection issues.

  • I had - and still have - the A50's but I got fed up with them constantly running out of batteries so I got the new xbone A40's instead. New A40's * Lighter, since they're not carrying the mix amp and batteries * Way easier to control the channel levels on xbone * You don't have to worry about batteries * Same sound as A50's, or atleast not noticeably different. Additionally, I think the A50's have crap reach around the house. I've had several wireless headsets and these are by far the worst. Whenever I'm passing by one of the thicker walls in my house they're cutting out, other headsets never did that. But hey, it's an excellent headset as long as you are staying somewhat close to the sender and remember to charge it.

  • A40s are just as good, just wired, which doesn't really make a difference tbh. They are cheaper too.

    Astro headsets are one of the best headsets for gaming, be it the A40's(wired) or the A50's. I can assure you that you will get your money's worth with the A50's and I prefer them as they're wireless.
