So sorry about the random mic pops. No idea why that happened. PS: I also tested all of these with wicked cushions installed, and they really help with boosting the sound and holding detail in. Merry Christmas as well 🎄
Appreciate your videos man. Thank you Call of Duty footsteps is at the 110-140Hz range, so it would be best to increase the 125Hz. You can keep the smiley EQ, but just increase the 125Hz to 4 or 5 Merry Christmas to you and your family
That mic is CRAZY good. I can't wait for them to make this without the passthrough. One thing I've had on a few wireless headsets in the past is a "hissing" sound constantly while I use them. Low volume white noise. Had them in the original g pro wireless headset. Do you experience that here?
Question now on PC are we suppose customize the EQ and Dolby Atmos settings? Or leave EQ at default and adjust Dolby Atmos to gaming or Change both EQ and Dolby Atmos to gaming?
Question - why don’t my presets from the G Hub go directly to my console? I’ve disconnected from my app on my phone but it still just stays on default whenever I go on my console. Please help!
Can you make a video with the frequency tuning on the astro 30s. Do one that is good for cod so at least I have an idea on the tuning with the equalizer.
Thank you for the Video. I have the problem that my headphone does connect to the pc but doesnt to the software. U have any informations how i can solve this problem?
Do you have white noise in the headset when nothing is playing? I have in mine regardless of settings and it's pretty annoying. Returned them 3 times now..
I plugged my PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC into the Astro A50 X. The PS5 mic is working, as well as for the PC. However, for the Xbox Series X, the mic is not recognized; it has a little dash across the mic icon. I tried updating the headset through the HUB, but nothing worked. Any advice will be appreciated. Thank You
My question is how do you save or sync the settings you want to your a50x headset?! Is it a click it and forget it or is there a sync somewhere like in the Astro command center for the a50 gen 3-4?
I have a MacBook Pro and it’s updated but I can’t get my G-Hub to connect to headphones..I’ve connect with my Apple USB-c straight to it and I did the the enable accessibility. Annoyed lol
@TheTechne have you had any issue with Sonys 3D Audio? Saw couple people making videos complaining that the tempest audio doesn't work correctly because it has to be set as TV audio for them work through the hdmi
I downloaded Eq’s for my a50x and I have the eq’s when I’m on pc but when I switch over to ps5 and I try to look for my custom Eq’s on my iPhone it doesn’t show my downloaded Eq’s. Can anyone help me out ? Do I have to just create Eq’s manually on my phone so I can use them on ps5?
I’ve been tweaking around with them a lot on siege and have almost got what I believe to be is perfect, I’ll release a video soon on what I been using!
Help . My game voice balance is not working. Only when i chance ist from hdmi to usb . But that wrong. When its on hdmi setting and i Click to voice ,all sound is gettin quit. When i Click to game All Sound getting loud . Wtf is wrong .
so im about to buy a g pro superlight but i also might buy the model d wireless. the only thing keeping me from buying the model d wireless is that im worried it will freeze randomly for like 3 seconds like my current model d wired. does the model d wireless do this and could it be because my mousepad is white with black lines
Very good review but respectively I don’t play none of these games. I play rainbow six siege. I’m interested in rainbow six siege EQ says if you can make one. I’ve been asking for Q settings for rainbow six siege for at least six months and nobody have done one I have these headsets I bought them for rainbow six siege only please help.
Hey man. So i just got done messing with the maxwells i found at microcenter today and i hate to inform people but i really was underhwelemd with them. Dont get me wronf i think they hsve pretty good clarity and are extrenly loud. How ever my gen 4 astros havd better sounding bass and are just farriers mroe comfortable. Are the a50x a noticeable upgrade from the a50 gen 4s??
I've been through a couple astro headsets and numerous logitech ones that they are worth it, I currently own a pair and I'm extremely confident in saying that these are my daily drivers for the foreseeable future. The only thing I will say is they are very pricey but worth it, so get them if you have the money to spare
Hi techne merry Christmas to you and your family happy New Year i ordered these astro a50x for My PS5 only i supposed to be getting them on Tuesday im currently using the Logitech pro x 2 wireless headphones for PS5 and the audeze Maxwell i regret buying those they been sitting on my desk for two months now. There too too heavy for every day gaming snd the app doesn't work good how are those new Astros do you think i made a mistake buying them stay safe and happy gaming to all
Ive found that the wicked cushions make the headset more comfortable but really hollow out the sound. Id love to say they are good to use, but they really make the audio sounds much worse
I am using Dolby access on gaming - performance mode. Is it recommended to adjust the EQ on top of that? I seen on Reddit that Astro Vertigo said to use that and then set the EQ
Just bought my A50X and Wicked Cushions Freeze earpads on Saturday. Havent tinkered with any setting but it has sounded great in the games (Apex, Battlefield 2042 & Cyberpunk) thus far. I was hearing enemies so easily in Apex that my random teammates kept asking what headset i was using to hear things so accurately.
Does anyone know the difference on using the Dolby settings AND the Logitech app settings? I’m asking this question kinda wrong. But does it use BOTH or how do I know which settings I’m using? Thank you
Having an issue, downloaded eq’s on my pc but when I switch over to ps5, the custom eq’s don’t appear on my phone. I’m guessing we have to do them manually…

I have mine currently. Sound out of box sounds very all over the place even with the default eqs g hub has. Very disappointed with the sound currently.
The sound is very bad going from a40tr to a50x there is a difference, the dolby we don't even feel it, when my friends talk to me on discord it seems like they are in a trash can seriously.
What is mind boggling to me is the using the same software ( Logitech G hug) With the Logitech g pro x2, they gave the Astro A50x's the adjustable EQ bars with way more customizability. That is insane to me. :( anyone update me if there is a way around that.

the mic pops comes from using noise gate setting, I've tried all settings and all of them produce mic pops
Using your microphone settings for this set now, sounds considerably better. Thanks!
I was recently looking at this headset, thank you for the review.
Always look forward to your videos and just picked up this headset so this video definately helps. Keep up the good work!
Mic sounds great
I tho the same. Can you make mic comparation with razer 2023 headset?
Love the Starfield EQ for Story games. Survival Horror games especially, sounds awesome! Any chance u can hook us up with an Apex Legends EQ?
Great work 👌🏻
Thanks and Merry Christmas to yourself and the family 👍🏻

Please could you give us the exact digits for the COD set up for each one on the EQ it would be greatly appreciated
Question now on PC are we suppose customize the EQ and Dolby Atmos settings? Or leave EQ at default and adjust Dolby Atmos to gaming or Change both EQ and Dolby Atmos to gaming?
Holy crap that microphone!! Puts this over the G Pro X2 with that alone.
If I use these profiles I can't listen to music because it sounds weird is there any solution?
Go in depth with the turtle beach ultra controller and oh thanks for doing this for us man you rock 😊
Love your videos Techne!!
Thank you for the time and effort you put in your videos!
how do these equalizer transfer onto the headset and how can u choose them?
Can you explain why you put it up like that for call of duty? In which area are the footsteps, the killstreaks, etc. ?
Does my frequency and gain matter? What should they be set to?
when i switch to PS5 the options for astro audio no longer appear in wave link
Any EQ recommendation for the mod kit ear pads?

Honestly if you already have the gpro X2 there is no need to buy these unless you are 100% going to utilize the pass through.
Can you make the eq settings for people that play story single-player games?
I use the one he made for Starfield for Story games, every Story game I've played with that EQ so far sounds awesome!
I've been using the destiny sound. It sounds pretty good and bass also. But I'll try the starfield one, see if that's better.
Ive found that the wicked cushions make the headset more comfortable but really hollow out the sound. Id love to say they are good to use, but they really make the audio sounds much worse
Completely agree with you. I had to go back to my default mod kit from the Astro A50 gen 4.
Omg I was wondering when Astro was going to come out with a new headset but a pass through? Idk I’m still loving my a40s though

What presets were u using
Dumb question. If I am planning on only using these for PC do I need the HDMI pass through. Or is that only if using console
It’s just for console.
Ur the GOAT bro! I just got these, have Wicked Cushions for them, is ur COD EQ good for those or just the Stock ear Cushions?
no answer:\ would like to know as well
@@sevyn8038he pinned a comment n says he uses these EOs with the Wicked Cushions as well 👍
Sir why didn't u just show the numbers instead of just certain ones seems a little wild if u ask me
How do I use different presets from hub on PS5? How does it transfer over?
Wondering the same thing here
What do you use for Dolby Atmos settings
Can you run g hub eq setting and atmos at the same time? Doesn’t interfere?
I’ve got a good atmos setting for you when I get home if you play fps. Makes them loud. Footsteps louder.
Hey, I am on Xbox Series x. If I follow you With the eq Settings for the logi App. What Settings I have to do on the Dolby App on Xbox ?
I set the logi to flat and run the atmos only.
Out of all the headsets which do you think is the #1 for Call Of Duty
It’s between the stealth pros and these. I can’t decide. Probably the A50x.
Does anyone know the difference on using the Dolby settings AND the Logitech app settings? I’m asking this question kinda wrong. But does it use BOTH or how do I know which settings I’m using? Thank you
I was told it runs both but not sure how that would be.
I just set the logi to flat and run the atmos only
Im playing mostly singleplayer games. Would you recommend the default or gaming EQ? If i had to choose between those two.
Or is Media better?
I would say it depends on the game, but I'd go the gaming preset
Got anything for rainbow six siege ?
Do the eq settings you save on pc transfer when I switch to ps5? Or do you have to use the mobile app
Having an issue, downloaded eq’s on my pc but when I switch over to ps5, the custom eq’s don’t appear on my phone. I’m guessing we have to do them manually…

Do you turn off the a50x while charging, or can you just let it be on?
I would turn it off when it's not being used just to save the battery life. But it can be used while being charged.
