The Astro A50s give you pro-level sound quality, control, and comfort without giving up the convenience of wireless.

Astro's best wireless gaming headset

Astro has been making waves in the gaming community for years with the quality of their headphones. They're frequently a top pick for professional gamers, who need their gear to perform reliably at the highest levels of competition.

The A50s are Astro's top-tier wireless gaming headphones. They give you powerful sound, clean communication, and long-lasting comfort. If you're wondering what the professionals use, well, you're looking at them.

Wirelessly keep up with the competition

The A50s come with a dedicated base station that acts as both a convenient charging dock and a wireless transmitter. The connection between the station and headphones stays strong and stable with a low-latency 2.4 GHz transmission.

With high-quality sound that's lag-free, you can go wireless with the confidence that you're not losing your competitive edge in the process.

Comfort for the long haul

The lightweight and ergonomic A50s fit snugly and securely without weighing down your head or feeling like a clamp. The earcups and padded headband are also super soft and breathable, for comfort that can't be beat during extended gaming sessions.

Immersive, competitive sound

When I play The Hunt: Showdown with my crew, every pat-pat of a nearby enemy's footsteps or crinkle over broken glass can tip us off to a hidden attacker. Picking up those kinds of audible cues accurately lets me swivel 180° and quickly turn the tables. Being able to pinpoint a gunshot echoing in the distance also tells us where to go hunting, so we can creep up and lay down our own ambush. The A50s are perfect for a game like this, with great imaging and sound directionality that pulls you into the action.

These headphones deliver detailed, accurate sound that feels true-to-life and is easy to place in the game world. They're designed for competition, where situational awareness is the key to victory.

Hear the details that count

When your partner tells you there's a sniper on the roof, you'll want to hear that — not the dryer tossing your socks. You also don't want your team's chatter to drown out environmental sounds that might tip you off to that sniper if no one else has noticed.

The A50's closed-back design provides noise isolation, while the built-in MixAmp technology helps optimize the balance of your game audio and voice chat. This way you're not missing important sound cues or key tactical callouts. On the flip side, the flexible boom mic prioritizes the sound of your voice, so your teammates can hear you clearly, too.

Firsthand listening impressions

First off, when I say Astro's headphones are comfortable, that's an understatement. When I dropped these on I was immediately impressed with just how soft the earcups were and how quickly I forgot I was even wearing them. They're probably the most comfortable pair of headphones I've tried to date. With the bar already set so high, I was curious if the sound would live up to the form factor. Spoiler: yeah, it totally did.

The A50s have a rich, detailed sound that sucked me straight into the game. The controls on the side of the headphones also made it super easy to balance out communication with my friends. When we played The Hunt, I could still hear them clearly without losing cues from the environment. It was the best of both worlds.

The details add up

I tested out several games with the A50s and found little details I'd been missing all along that really improved my experience. In Mortal Kombat 11, I could distinguish the shifting zip-zap crackles of electricity as Raiden took the stage. In Call of Duty: Warzone, I could painfully place each bullet as it skitter-scattered across the concrete and pinged against the metal surface of the car I was hiding behind.

At the end of my review, I dropped back into Ghosts of Tsushima on Lethal+ difficulty. It was by far my favorite experience with the A50s. The soundtrack felt sweeping and thunderous as I took on an entire outpost. The three-dimensional space really came alive with the clash of swords and spears, the footsteps of soldiers surrounding me, and arrows whizzing past from every direction. It was epic.

Get your settings on target

To get the best performance out of the A50s, I needed to make some quick adjustments to my console settings. You'll want to connect the optical cable and the USB to your console. From there, you need to make sure the audio output is set to "optical" and your headphones are "chat only." It seems counterintuitive, but this ensures the chat and the game audio are split up. This gives you the best audio performance and allows the MixAmp to work like intended. Without taking these steps, you won't be able properly balance your game/voice levels or gain the full benefit of the headphones.

I demoed the A50s on the PS4, so your experience may be a pinch different if you're on a PC or Xbox.

Compatibility with Dolby® audio decoding gives you an extra edge, adding depth and clarity to the soundscape for a truly cinematic experience. If you're playing on PC, both Windows® Sonic and Dolby Atmos® are supported too, further expanding the game world's sense of space and directionality.
