ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset with Base Station Gen 4, USB Radio Frequency, Unidirectional Microphone Headphones, Compatible with PS4, PS5, PC Windows, Mac, Black (Renewed)

I purchased the refurbished ASTRO Gaming A50 Wireless Headset with Base Station Gen 4 for my son, an avid 18-year-old gamer, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Despite being refurbished, the headset arrived in pristine condition, with the packaging intact and everything looking brand new. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the box to share because my son tore it open immediately— he was that excited! According to my son, these are the best headphones he has ever used. The padding on the earphones is exceptionally comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the sound quality is crystal clear, enhancing the gaming experience with precise audio cues that are crucial in competitive gaming. The wireless functionality is a game changer, providing the freedom to move without getting tangled in wires, which is a huge plus during intense gaming sessions. The unidirectional microphone also delivers clear communication, a must-have for coordinating with teammates in online games. Overall, this headset has not only met but exceeded our expectations, making it a top recommendation for any serious gamer.

If these are considered "Mid Range" headsets, then anything above this would be considered professional grade. These are comfortable enough for long gaming sessions. I love that they're plug and play right out of the box without any need for setup(PS4). I like the different customizable modes for sound quality. The sound quality in game is so good that I swear that it made my eyesight better. You can pinpoint the direction of the noises in 3D with these. I highly recommend these for the price point.

Sound quality? good, mic quality? also good so what's the issue? the issue is that this thing began to break down just 3 months after purchase first the battery stopped charging, I would put it to charge for an entire day, the station claims it is at full charge, I turn it on and it turns off after 5 seconds, when I plug it again it claims it is at 0%, it also now transmit audio while plugged in and even if set to off, so now it is always on while charging I could still use it but as a wired headset with extra steps, as it still requires the stand to connect but now after about a year it has began to show more issues, the wire connected to the headset has holes all over the place, and it doesn't seem to even connect properly anymore, but the other cables I try have a different issue, as they might just disconnect at random, except it is not a real disconnect as I still hear the "turning off" sound when unplugging I have no idea what is wrong with this thing but I honestly feel ripped off

Always wanted this headset n finally got one myself 😮‍💨💯 it’s great , comfortable, and great audio , only issue is , in the beginning you would be able to hear yourself buh it’s okay ! You can fix the audio wit the Astro software/app🕺🏻 Get yours NOW

I have ADHD, I WILL forget to charge every single device I own. It’s so frustrating when my friends want to game or chat on discord and my headphones are dead. I have to either wire into my PC and adjust my setup so the wire will reach- or I have to use my speakers and disturb my housemates. I love being able to just put my headphones on the dock and they’re always charged. It’s a game changer for me. Since having them my friends have commented that my mic sounds better than both my fifine and blue yeti- so that’s a nice bonus! The sound is great but I’m not a sound expert so I’m easy to please.

Keep in mind that this review is for a refurbished pair of A50's I bought ($180, Exellent condition), not a brand new pair. The headset and base were in good condition visibly and the headset sounded great but I couldn't get them to seat correctly on the base. They would connect for a few seconds but then the 4 LED lights would flash non-stop indicating a bad or no connection. Instead I just charged it with a Micro-USB cable (which seemed to take longer). I used to own a pair of A50's (previous Gen) so I have a good idea of how long it takes to charge and how long the battery lasts and these seemed to take a lot longer to charge (at least 3-4 hours from dead to fully charged) and when fully charged the battery definitely did not last as long. The product description says 12 hours of use on a full charge and they probably only lasted 7 or 8 hours. My old A50's lasted me about 5-6 years and the issue of them not seating correctly and therefore not connecting to the base was the first issue that appeared and was the final nail in the coffin for the headset because if they cannot connect to the base then the wireless signal doesnt get sent to the headset meaning no sound comes through.

I have this same headset for my xbox so I decided to try a renewed for my ps5, since it was half the new price. Other than the micro USB cord that came with it not fitting tightly in the base, works just as well as my xbox headset. Just used one of my countless micro USB cords I had. The ps5 does not power the base on in rest mode. But I can use my xbox base to charge it just gotta set it on the ps base after powering the ps5 on to resync with that base.

Had these for a while now, I got the refurbished version and the sound quality is decent however I noticed a clear difference in loudness versus my g933s, they function all right the microphone is what has the most issues like if you put it down from its up position it doesn't work sometimes and you have to put it back up and down again I'm not sure if that's a common issue for these things but that's what I've been experiencing, the microphone overall though isn't that great obviously I would recommend getting a USB mic like Blue Yeti or something like that, the design as normal is as expected it's good and comfortable, overall I would say it was a good value for my money.

Funciona excelente, y su calidad de sonido es increíble

Es la primera vez que compro un producto renewed y al leer las reseñas me dio un poco de miedo, sin embargo noté que las malas reseñas podían ser de personas que no sabían configurarlos, tuve que investigar un poco ya que yo los uso en pc y la primera vez funcionaron pero después no es que no funcionaran sino que mi pc no quería detectar el wifi, mencionaré por si alguien ve mi reseña que pueden fallar o tu pc si tu pc no está conectada a internet por medio de un cable ya que los audífonos funcionan por medio de una banda de 5Ghz al igual que los wifi de ahora entonces puede generar interferencia pero si conectas tu pc por cable no habrá ningún problema, los recomiendo, me llegaron técnicamente nuevos y nada más la caja un poco desgastada pero con sello de astro de verificación de que sirve todo al 100 y así ha sido.

2 días de uso y al tercer día no se escuchan, no cargan y la base no los reconoce :/ El empaque consistía en 2 cajas la externa genérica y la interna también genérica. En cuanto a la separación entre caja externa y la interna si tenían algo de protección en forma de bolsas de aire, sin embargo en la caja interna (que es donde estaban los audífonos) parecía bastante improvisado, tenia una bolsa gruesa y algunas bolsas verdes desinfladas a modo de protección o no se (como se muestra en la foto). La primera vez que los conecte a la PC las instrucciones marcaban que debían cargase por completo, los deje toda la tarde y ya estaban listos, la computadora los reconoció rápido y en general estaba contento con mi compra, sin embargo al tercer día de uso empezaron los problemas, la computadora los reconocía pero simplemente no reproducían ningún sonido, busque en internet si era algún tipo de configuración pero nada, luego los coloque en su base y esta no los reconocía, finalmente el led que indica que los audífonos están funcionando se apago y no volvió a encender. Perdida total. Solicite el reembolso a ver si no tarda demasiado.

-En muy buen estado. -Excelente calidad de audio. -Un poco pesados si no estás acostumbrado. -Compatible con PC, PS5 y PS4 sin necesidad de convertir o extensión. -El micrófono dejó de funcionar correctamente a los 4 meses.

Son muy buenos tras probar los de un amigo pero no me fijé que eran para Playstation, y yo uso Xbox😿
