Logitech - A50 Wireless Gaming Headset & Base Station Gen 4

Eh. I ended up with the Arctis and not bad. Still miss my Astros but more control and better audio with Arctis. Mic quality on my end is kinda ass and it sometimes disconnects when I first turn the PS5 on.

Astros will be the most comfortable by far. Steel series will probably last the longest because you can swab batteries. That's the only reason I gave up my astros and changed to the steel series. But astros are definitely way more comfortable. Sound and mic quality are basically the same between the two

You’ve already ran astros you said, but Gen 4 A50s have a wireless base and no software needed. Been running them for a while and the mod kits they sell for a comfier headband/ear pads are a nice touch. Haven’t died on me while using them one either, they shut off if you set them down and turn back on automatically when you pick them up.

I'll weigh in... I have 2 sets of Astro A50 Gen 4s. The first set I bought 2nd hand from a friend that wanted to go back to wired headphones.. I was in a pickle and needed a gaming headset and checked out the A50s and they were PRETTY SICK. They're THX certified, which I cant say means anything, but they do sound very, very good. The second set of A50s I bought for my work computer, and I got them used off Ebay.. they were a sick deal.. but Ive noticed the work set has a high pitch noise that can be heard in the speakers.. so theyre basically trash. Theyre okay to wear for meetings but you cant just have them resting on your head unless you want to experience what its like to have tinnitus. So I think I got what I paid for, as I only paid 140$ CDN for the second set, and they retail for $400-500 CDN so yeah, just shouldnt have expected them to be perfect. They were good for a few months and passed the initial sound testing but yeah they failed out to have the high pitched noise. I would even consider getting a replacement set of headphones to use with the base as I do enjoy them, they have excellent range, excellent mic and without the high pitch tone they are insanely nice sounding, best sounding headphones Ive had. That being said, I did buy a pair of Sensieser (sp?) at one point that I did really enjoy, but one of my dogs got to them and that was the end of them.

I think likely you dont need to spend near the amount on Astros to get similar sound quality, but that being said, I think my A50s are really nice. I know for the A50s the pads are replaceable.. not sure about the a10s but maybe look into it if you want to be budget savy

Owned my Astro A50 gen 4's since late 2020, highly recommend, 4 years strong and almost no issues. The battery is starting to not hold a full 16 hour charge but replacing it is easy enough that I ordered a new battery to replace it and will be swapping it out in the next few months once the battery degrades a bit more. I would specifically recommend getting the Gen 4's though

I like my Astro A50 Xs. They're damn near indestructible and sound pretty good too

I also vote for the A50’s. Best pair of gaming headphones I’ve ever owned.

I have buyers remorse for my a50 doesn't charge properly on the dock unless you mess with it to get it in place. I have the latest Gen and it was supposed to be fixed but still is a pain. Pretty bad pain after a few hours of gaming have had them for months and use daily for a few hours no improvement. The volume controls are easily the worst part. Absolutely abysmal and volume will just randomly change on you. It is a good headset sound quality wise but for the price tag there are too many basics they got wrong. Would be worth it at $100 no more.

I loved my A50’s, but after an update they just didn’t work on my pc anymore. Rocking steelseries now, they’re great, but I miss the charging dock of the a50

I've switched to Astro years ago and never looked back. Amazing audio, comfort and durability. Have both the a40 tr (10+ years old) and the A50.
