Awesome review, I need a headset that switches between consoles flawlessly, and the fact that it switches your HDMI input for you with a switch of a button is icing on top, thank you for the detailed review!
Nice gaming headset! 👍🏾 Definitely picking these up for my birthday next month.
i've been working on the raod ever since u hit a 100k , now u at 630k, congrats big dog, been here since 50k keep up the great work , love ur videos and work ethic's.
Finally! I've been waiting for your video on this headset. I'm about to pull the trigger on the monitor you have. I always use your reviews before purchasing anything. Thanks for helping my wallet man
What about pulling the trigger on the headset which is the main point of the video? :)
Thanks for uploading this! Was considering this headset but now I’m definitely buying!
Definitely picking up a set of these. Really dope that it essentially gives you an additional HDMI 2.1 port, albeit 40Gbps as opposed to 48Gbps but still very nice. It gets annoying having to switch between headsets for my PS5 and PC. Gonna use this for the switch as well.
I double checked to see if he misspoke on the HDMI bandwidth and they are 40 Gbps per the Logitech website instead of the full 48 Gbps. However, that shouldn't impact gaming on PS5/Xbox Series.
You do realise that 48GBPS is required for 8K60/HDR/Dolby Vision? No console is hitting 8K and if it did it would be dynamically! Not to mention that 48GBPS is also only niche and needed for 12-BIT colour range at 4K60/120… no TV at any consumer level goes above 10-BIT..
for full DV coverage or 8K60 is what you’d need a 48GBPS lane for! Until then? It’s just numbers that make you feel superior when in fact no one right now needs 48GBPS!
P.S I have a 48GBPS OLED C3 and also a C1, both my series X and V run on the C1 and the C3 EXACTLY the same! Not a single pixel changes proving that 48GBPS IS NOT NEEDED!.
Thanks for this clear and good video review. I might pick it up. 👍
This is as usual, an excellent review. I just got a pair of these nice gaming headsets for review too and I'm excited to try all the things. I have to say though, since I don't have aall my consoles on one desk with my PC, this isn't the greatest connection option but whatever.
definitely buying this next year for my pc/ps5 setup
Might have to pick these up 🤔 working across everything is kind of a must now
Mine come in this upcoming Tuesday, can’t wait
I was curious about the astro a50x, i currently have the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro headset. Which are amazing,! But honestly watching this now make me what these instead. Great video 😁
Damn, what a throwback those IG clips were 😅 still can’t get over how good that mic is for a wireless headset. When we hopped into that party I was legitimately blown away immediately. Wireless mics usually sound complete ass. Awesome to hear you’re enjoying the headset though, cannot wait to get mine!
Yes mate, was good to get your first impressions when we chatted. Hyped to see what they look like in your setup too 💪
Better Mic then Corsair HS80 Max? This has the MVP Mic in a Wireless Headset and is muuuch cheaper.
How come every video I see, the mics on headsets sound bad, but whenever I look at the comments, people praise it, for example, my friend has a steelseries and it sounds good, but online videos make it sound so trash
You put me onto the Steel Series ps5 headset and I’ve been so happy with those but now it might be time to upgrade 😂 these is a real nice gaming headset, now I just gotta justify the jump haha
I have been using Nova Pro as well after buying PS5 and found out there is no Astro headset for the PS5 at that moment.
Because back on PS4, I was using Astro A50 as well and really enjoy using it. Can't wait for the release and will buy it for sure.
Thanks for the review
IVE BEEN WAITING for you to come out with a video about these 😭finally 🤣 🎧
The thing that I love about my A40's is that I can listen to my pc and ps5 audio at the same time, so if that's possible with this then I'll be picking these up real soon
That's what I'm concerned about, but from the looks of it it only does one at a time hope, I'm wrong.
In the video he mentions that you can game and listen to your phone audio at the same time. This has been a major issue for me as i use PS app to talk to my friends and game on my PC. I have to rely on a 3rd party bluetooth connection that doesnt always work. This will be a nice upgrade.
you can, even if it doesn't work both with the hdmi, you can always connect your pc with bluetooth and still game on your ps5 at the same time
This is a huge selling point for me when buying a headset. Sad that this isn't something that's prioritized in most new gaming headsets. There's no aux port on the base station so I assume the only way for simultaneous audio would be to connect through bluetooth. I've tried this with a different headset and it killed the battery pretty fast with bluetooth on so I dont think id go this route personally.
Great video! Definitely going to consider this.
Fantastic video Chris! If you dont mind? can you please share your audio settings from Modern Warfare 3 with what EQ you use on the headset? Thanks for the vid.
I absolutely love the ASTRO'S ever s8nce they have come out. It has always been worth every penny. Beautifully done video man. Stay awesome!
Finally ! 🙌🏻 nice review as alwaysss
Thanks mate.
You just sold me on buying a pair whenever they’re back in stock!
I've been using the A50 for a while now and i can't wait to put my hands on the A50x...
nice gaming headset, i was hoping you to review them i will definitely buy them
Legend! I recently just picked up the Logitech PRO X2 for my ps5
The PRO X2s are nice!
I have the Sony Pulse 3D, but may upgrade to these. Thanks for the video.
Still loving my A50's after four years of use.
Brilliant headset. I really liked mine.
I'm super surprised you never ran into buggy charging issues on your headset. Not to mention the top cushion on the headband falling out.
when i first bought my a50s in 2021 the top piece fell right out and it kept happening, sent an email to astro and they sent a whole new headset for free since i was under warranty. now the ones i have still work great and i got the other ones as back up@@Turtle-.-
Awesome review man and I like your color taste all black damn that’s cool i need to buy it and imagine having a black out headset that will be awesome.
No noise cancelling for $380 is crazy. I'll pick them up and give them a try before returning them but i doubt Ill get over that ridiculous price.
Honestly, I have so much going on around me while I'm gaming so the non noise cancellation for me works. Plus the volumes and the comfort are just so superb.
Noise cancellation on headsets are booty tho, open backs for the dub
bro they dont even bother including the hdmi cable that you need to have to run em
There are codes to get it for $340!!!
They are open back headphones..? Adding noise cancellation too open back headphones what?
Why would you need noise cancellation in a room by yourself? which majority of gamers are in. Noise cancellation also gets rid of certain sounds that you wouldn't be able to hear because of it. Also, I'd like to hear myself speak in a room so i'm not insanely loud...
I like the fact you can charge it while it’s in the dock. That’s my main issue is remembering to charge my Turtle Beach Stealth’s
Why am I just hearing about this after upgrading one of my monitors 🥴 these look 🔥🔥 gotta get them
Nice gaming headset I already have the Old A50 I use on my PS5 and I was wondering if it was worth upgrading and you definitely answered those questions I will be picking these up .
Thanks for watching
Nice gaming headset, ima cop that for Christmas
Nice gaming headset. Looks clean 👌. Good content SpawnPoiint 👍
Thank you dude!
That’s sooooo amazing I’m excited to buy this I’ve wanted a headset that has Bluetooth plus the ability to connect to both that’s so awesome
Just know the Bluetooth connection is to the base station not directly to the headset so if you were thinking of taking the headset out with you to use with your phone away from the base station you're out of luck.
Very clean setup man salute 🫡💯
Hey I like your desk a lot, what are the measurements for the desk. Love the videos!!
I didn't know these existed. I need those features and I am totally buying them I think.
Nice gaming headset! Really good review !
@SpawnPoiint Did you notice any type of Input Lag or Delay while using 2 Separate HDMI 2.1 cables on 1 Console cause i remember there being some issues with that with the HDMI Adapter that you talked about in this video so im interested to know if there was any Input Lag or Delay especially while playing Competitive online games like Call Of Duty?
Now all we need is a comparison with the Audeze Maxwells. Please
Very good headset but I'm upset that they've got rid of the AUX port as it was a good way to connect with other audio interfaces. I'm sure it'll still be possible to connect to them through the use of some adapters. Looks like a good headset overall though! Thanks for reviewing these!
Do you know what adapter could be used? I also miss the aux cable
@@ttvWideShoes USB-C to aux may do the trick. I need to get my hands on a pair and do some tests
Nice gaming headset! (I wonder if the sound could come from the tv and headset at the same time or did it mute the tv when you on the headset?)
I figure these are better since you don't have to use Atmos to emulate Surround sound anymore. Since its HDMI Passthrough for Audio it's almost like using the optical cable on the old school Astro's your actually getting Dolby 7.1 if you choose.
Oooooohhhhh nice headset...... and now its a must have 🎉. Loved my a40s ps4 they just didn't transfer to the ps5 very well
Nice Gaming Headset. I'm thinking this is the headphone I wanna upgrade to I currently have SteelSeries Arctic 7P wireless
These look great, one point you mentioned is 120hz pass through - is there anyway to push them to 240hz for PC FPS games on a gaming monitor?
Nova Pro wireless. These are pretty darn fantastic. Also what monitor are you using? Nice colors.
Hey dude , love your content if you don’t mind me asking you one question , since you are the only guy i trust when it comes to headphones.
Regarding the astro a50x , do recommend the Bluetooth for mobile gaming like pubg mobile, or do u recommend another headphone
QUESTION! How would I go about switching from PC to console if my console is in the living room and PC at my desk? Can’t imagine using the docking station for 2 separate rooms?
Nice vid as always. Love all your content. Maybe one day you'll tryout some IEM'S. $50 will change your mind on headsets
Nice Gaming Headset! Cant wait to get mines, 🎉 Happy Holidays Everyone cheers 🍻
Im curious about these but.... the swappable batteries of the nova pro is also great. also, im sure they are gonna be sold out for a while.
I really like the base station switching capability. But the hot swappable batteries in my nova pro wireless is a feature I’m not willing to lose. Would definitely sacrifice a bit our sound quality for that.
Totally get that, but when do you need more than 24 hours of battery in one go? As soon as you've finished they will sit charging anyway.
Unless someone is going for some kind of record why would anyone need more than 24 hours of battery?@@SpawnPoiint
It’s much easier to charge the Astro A50x while gaming than it is for the Nova Pro
Plus the game / party chat buttons on the Astro’s are >
I also have the nova pros too and i have never ever needed to swap the battery which was one of the main reasons i bought them. O well sick headset tho
@SpawnPoiint how do they compare to the nova pro wireless in terms of sound quality mate? I'm just interested in getting the best sound quality possible for gaming. Would be awesome if you could do a video comparing headsets in terms of sound quality. Thanks for the awesome content bro
I didn't know Logitech bought Astro. Interesting
Amazing Review thank you for all the information but i just have a simple question i have a double monitor set up and sometimes i play on my ps5 while also chatting with my friends on discord on the pc is that possible with this headset?
THIS! THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! Unfortunately I got the Turtle beach stealth pros, do you think this is more better? Cuz I love how you can plug multiple devices at once and not having to reconnect to your devices, but I started to like the battery swapping thing on the stealth pros. Overall do you think the A50’s are more worth it?
Thank you for this video and also can you compire between (( A50X - Steelseries Nova pro wireless))
And i wana ask you where can i buy the same table you have i love it ❤️👍🏻
Love ❤️ your channel! The footage referencing Gen 4 are actually Gen 3!?? Gen 3 & 4 work on PS5. Either get HDMI adapter or even easier connect optical cord directly to your TV. As long as your TV has an optical port you are good 👍 to go!!
Unfortunately the HDMI adapter isn’t HDMI 2.1 (so restricts the 4K 120hz my tv/monitor need). And as my monitor doesn’t have optical that won’t work either (and on my TV I use my AVR for sound, so it wouldn’t work on there either.
Ill wait for these to go on sale
I actually ordered these yesterday and was thinking that I might have made a mistake as I was replacing my near 4 year old Sony Pulse 3Ds and was looking for a minor step up. After watching your video I can definitely see I made a good decision!
great video! how long does it take to fully charge?
My normal Astro a50 turn on but don’t work or have sound when connected so idk if I’ll buy this
Great review as always...
I do notice how you didn't mention anything about the side Game/ chat buttons though
Perhaps thats because they didn't work? As that's what I've found with my PS5
No they 100% work for me. It doesn't show on screen, but it works (as shown on the app as you press the headset too).
Just got these as a christmas gift a few hours ago. Already loving them. Coming from Astro A40's for my Xbox, i was beyond glad to see the A50 X being able to connect to both Xbox and PS. Beyond comfortable and lightweight. Definitely worth the purchase.
Hi I ordered mine they done shipped I'm still waiting for mine how do they sound for PS5 do you like them happy holidays stay safe and happy gaming to all
Great review. Am I correct in thinking the HDMI passthrough would allow Elgato capture device to record audio that way? Headset looks perfect for me.
Did you ever find out? I know the previous a50 could with the hdmi adapter for the ps5.
@@ElonzoGames Never found out unfortunately
Nice I'll have to check these out. I bought the Alienware 920H headset and its ok but I feel like the audio leaves much to be desired. This looks spot on
Nice gaming headset👍
Keep up the good content
Have you tried the Audeze Maxwell? Expensive but just towers above everything else. 80 hrs battery life. And besides gaming I use it A LOT listening to music. It’s literally a high end premium headset.
stop it... built quality is below average, 3 audeze products, 3 same problems with crinkling foil sound in one earcup after using them 2-3 months when moving them. These products are too over-advertised by youtubers
Nice gaming headset!
What is the monitor you use? Looks lovely!
Brilliant vid! Was exactly what I needed. I love astro and I am normally the sort of guy to go all in when it comes to headsets. I am so torn between these and the new Pulse Elites though. Considering I no longer game on PC or xbox I don’t need the switching. These won’t work on the PS Portal either, will they?
They won't work on the Portal no. I'm really interested in seeing what the Pulse Elites are like, and will grab a pair to review. The fact they will work on the Portal and more is great. The earbuds were impressive so I have high hopes for them.
@@SpawnPoiint Excellent, I will look forward to watching that one!
Hey how are you? merty christmas 🎄,And i have a question would you have them as your main headset and are they your main headset?
OOOOHHHH I NEED TO FINALLY TELL MY WIFE WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!! 😂
haha this is the one
Male sure to tell here very first before Christmas you have 4 more days❤
No optical line.....way to screw a good thing up Astro
Go for it buddy. 👍
TBH if I was you I would gotten the Audeze Maxwell it has better Audio plus the battery life is 80 hours were the astro has 15 hours
How do these stack up to the audeze Maxwell's in terms of sound quality, comfort and overall experience ?
Very good headset but i still use my old G933 because the usb dongle have a 3.5 mm jack that you can plug another audio source and they BOTH play at the same time on the headset, very useful when i want to play PS5 on one monitor and PC for youtube on another monitor
Thank you for the review I had the same old headset you have I will be replacing them with that. I need them for rainbow six siege how are they with the sound quality
but does the base station connectivity still suck? takes forever of me wiggling around my current ones for them to stay charging and then an hour later i will hear the beep sound of them disconnecting / connecting until i wiggle them again…
please say they added little magnets so they actually have a solid connection
I'm deciding between this or the Nova Pro wireless. Had the Astro A50 gen 4 but was defective. I'm worried on the count of that and whether this is worth the premium
Do you recommend these over the Logitech - PRO X 2? I only play on PS5 so I’m wondering which would one be best or any other recommendation mainly for PS5?
Could you just plug the power cable and the usb c from ps5 and connect the hdmi from ps5 to tv directly? Or does the base station NEED the hdmi?
Do you recommend them for streaming? I have an elgato hd60x and I use the line out port of the nova pro game dac to capture my audio in OBS.
These headsets look good, can't lie. Nice vid.
Glad you like them!
Not familiar with your channel but i like this content. What monitor is this in the video? And do you have a link to it
hi, great video. Here is the summary of the question: I would like to order the Astro A50 X in white version for use on PS5 only. I would like to use this model without the HDMI relay because I want to avoid any form of latency. Is it possible to operate by usb without HDMI? If so, what are the changes to cable and HDMI usage? Is it only the mixed cat?
I've been looking out for a new wireless gaming headset so I might give these a try. I hope the sound quality is as good as you say. I had the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro's earlier this year which I didn't like because of the poor quality so I returned them. Even my old XO Ones sound much better and people even comment on how crisp and clear the mic is, which is crazy considering they're almost a decade old. I do like the connectivity on these already from what I've seen, and the mic does sound good.
Poor Quality on the Stealth Pro? What makes you say that?
@@mundane4082 because it is. They have a tinny, low bit rate sound and the so-called "superhuman hearing" is even worse. The gunshots just sound harsh and abrasive.
Don't buy anything from Astro. They are riddled with buggy software, a terrible base station, and charging issues that occur 6-12 months into use. Just look up "Astro A50 Won't Charge" on google and you will see thousands of posts on various forums complaining about it for the last 4 YEARS. Customer support won't help, and they refuse to address these issues. If you plan on using the headset for any length of time longer than 6 months, you will regret you bought a pair of Astros. Yes the sound is really really good, but who cares when your headset bricks itself because it won't charge properly.
My gen 4 still work great on ps5 but will defo get these next best gaming headset even they are pricey but worth it great quality
Hello !!! I just have one question, what settings do u suggest changing on the ps5. PLS let me know ❤
What is you’re eq setting for ps5 and do you used 3D audio for the tv without measuring the acustic in the room like LG specified??
I got the A40 ima definitely get this one though I love Astro headset
Yeh the A40s are nice too.
Nice gaming headset but how did HDMI switching work when you're not using the headphones? Do you still have to press the button to switch?
Love the videos
Thank you.
precise and very clear my son I've been dithering about for a couple of weeks but you have sealed the deal for me, thanks a mil😁😁
Thanks. That was GeekMadeDesigns
Does the connected display have to be turned on in order to hear sound? My setup has a PC and PS5 connected to a TV, but I primarily use the PC on the monitor and PS5 on the TV.
Would you happen to know how the sound quality compares to the Turtle Beach Stealth Pros? Would love to know.🔥🔥💪🏽
do you know if switching works for different PCs input as well? im assuming it does as you mentioned Nintendo Switch can be connected too but im wondering if i can connect my laptop docking station and desktop and use a50s to only switch audio?
I need these and I just got the nova pro but i hate leather earcuffs and could you review the skull candy gaming headsets?
Can you use these on your Xbox and listen to music on ur pc at the same time?
I use The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX and works with PS5, Xbox Series and PC, and works perfectly for me.
Your old A50s are gen 3, no?
Super excited Astro is back!
Yeah the Gen 3’s had the blue and the gen 4’s were just plain black I think. Thought the same thing when he mentioned it! Can’t wait for these to be released in AUS
Do you think these would be good for movie watching i.e. Apple TV connected to this to provided surround sound?
