    "...Sound has been great, very comfortable, fairly light weight, doesn't grip my head too hard...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the headset. For example, some mention that the sound has been great, very comfortable, fairly light weight, and doesn't grip their head. They also appreciate the noise cancellation, saying it's great but not so good they can't hear their phone go off next to it. That said, others say that they're getting no sound, the volume is not intuitive, and the audio will cut out for 10 seconds. They say that even minor head movements cause squeaking noises that resonated through the headset louder than the product itself.

    "...Pros:Great sound: Customizable pre-sets and default presets make this headset ideal for those that want to tweak their headset settings...." Read more

    "...Sound has been great, very comfortable, fairly light weight, doesn't grip my head too hard...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the headphones. Some mention that the quality is amazing, while others say that it has poor build quality and the cushion constantly came apart.

    "...This is a great gaming headset! I upgraded from my Turtle Beach headset that served me very well for many years...." Read more

    "...Then, after only a few gentle hours of use- the headband came apart and would not clip back together, rendering them unbearable...." Read more

    "...I haven't used up all the juice yet and it has seemed to hold up nicely. The charging is super easy...." Read more

    "...had with them is the wired cable that I broke myself and the headphone pads that tore due to, honestly, cheaply glued flaps; both easily replaceable...." Read more

    103 customers mention50 positive53 negative

    Customers are mixed about the battery life of the headphones. Some mention that it has pretty good battery life and lasts for a long time, while others say that it won't hold a charge, it's effective lifespan is about two hours on a battery, and that the batteries decay over time.

    "...They get excellent battery life, I've never dropped below 50% charge even after gaming most of the day away...." Read more

    "...The headset won't charge at times. It stops charging and I have to plug it in with a power cable just to get it to charge up...." Read more

    "...The battery lasts around 24 hours still after 5 years of full to low, and has a very fast charging time!!!!..." Read more

    "...And if you solve all those issues, they still run out of batteries quickly...." Read more

    269 customers mention63 positive206 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the performance of the headphones. For example, they mention the charging station isn't working, the headset won't charge at times, and the charging is pretty inconsistent. The center software is awful and lacks any real functionality. It can be a little finicky and only charges the headset when you place them exactly where it's supposed to. The audio mixer doesn't work very well and the controls are even worse. They also mention that the headphones go completely dead after around 20 minutes of continuous use.

    "...getting it into the dock so it recognizes the headset to charge can be a little finicky, but usually just takes a few seconds to adjust..." Read more

    "...It barely functions on console so you have to take the whole headset and base station to your computer in order to use it properly...." Read more

    "...The headset will not be recognized by Xbox after the Xbox is turned on...." Read more

    207 customers mention54 positive153 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the headphones. They say it's not worth the price, a huge waste of money, and the worst investment in technology they've made in their gaming career. They also mention that the 90-degree mute is terribly inconvenient and makes all the same obnoxious, harmful noises. Customers also complain about the charging problem and the flaws in the product, making it frustrating and unbearable.

    "...the headband came apart and would not clip back together, rendering them unbearable. Again, this happened mid game with no warning...." Read more

    "...Overpriced. $220 would be fair. However, I'm alright paying $300 due to the performance increase over headsets in the $120 range...." Read more

    "...But these are worth the price." Read more

    "...They are truly amazing... When they work. It's just not worth the $300 price tag if I can only get a year out of them." Read more

    Outstanding Gaming Headset for the Professional or Casual Gamer! (Xbox One Version)

    Outstanding Gaming Headset for the Professional or Casual Gamer! (Xbox One Version)
    Let me first start out by saying I am a casual gamer. I've been playing Xbox One for the last few years and decided to get this head set for that particular gaming system. This is a great gaming headset! I upgraded from my Turtle Beach headset that served me very well for many years. Here is what I liked and did not like about the Astro A50.Pros:Great sound: Customizable pre-sets and default presets make this headset ideal for those that want to tweak their headset settings. You can easily adjust settings on this headset by using the free Astro app on any Windows PC or Apple OS computer. You can also select one of three headsets loaded on the headset by simply pushing the preset button. This cycles through three presets on the headset (1-3).Great feel: This headset is lightweight. You can easily wear this for 8+ hours during those long gaming sessions and still not get fatigued by wearing it. While the headset is lightweight it is still built very very well and feel solid. You won't feel like you can easily break this headset which for the price point is a good thing. The headset also does not pinch or make my head uncomfortable in anyway and if measured out I have a large head.Wireless: The headset is 100% wireless. The only time you will need to have the headset docked is for charging. There is no cables to get in the way between you and the gaming controller or the gaming console. The freedom is nice. With the wireless capabilities also comes outstanding range. When wearing the headset I can literally go to any area of my apartment and still hear voice and game sounds. It's also nice not being tethered to your controller or console. If you've never experience true wireless gaming this will be mind blowing for you--it was for me.Mic: While some reviews have posted complaints about the mic quality I have had really no issues with the mic. I am careful with it and raise and lower it with ease as to not damage the mechanism. The mic is turned on and off by raising and lowering. Up is in the off/mute position and down is in the on/voice position. No complaints from anyone in my gaming party on not being able to hear me either. You may need to carefully bend the end of the mic inward to your face a bit for best results. Keep in mind that if you do this the mic will hit the headset in the off/mute position so be careful not to damage it. While it would be nice to have a switch to tap to turn the mic on or off it is also nice to have the mic up out of the way for those solo gaming sessions or if you don't feel like being social during a particular gaming session.Cons:Adjusting in game and voice chat volume: While there is a "rocker switch" to adjust game and voice chat sound it is often confusing and I find myself constantly looking to see which way I should push the switch to adjust either the game volume or voice chat volume. This is especially true if I don't use the headset for several weeks between gaming sessions. Again, I am a casual gamer so this is my experience. Opinions on this will vary!Overall volume: It is nice to be able to easily raise or lower overall sound volume. This is game volume and voice chat volume. The downside to the particular way this headset's volume control works is that it's on a round dial. This dial is too easily manipulated especially if you are resting in a reclined position. I find myself inadvertently lowering the volume in the middle of a gaming session and then I need to remove one hand from the gaming controller to re-adjust the volume control. This is a drawback to the design but not a deal breaker. If you never game in a reclined position you very well may never experience an issue with this!Overall this is light years ahead of any basic headset and even more advanced in many ways over the competitors top end headset models. If you are a serious or casual gamer this is a headset that you should check-out and you'll probably realize that this is the route to go.Thanks for reading!
