Astros have been my go to forever. I just replaced my A40s from 2017 this past month with the new A50s. I only replaced them though because the mix Amp couldn't attach to the bottom of my new Gamesir controller. The A40s still work perfectly fine. Quality brand
Hi,
I just bought me a PS5 Pro and looking for a good headset with a good mic also.
My favorite pair of headphones on my PS4 Pro was the Astro A40 Gen 2, that thing was just perfect. Looking at The Astro A50x and read alot of bad stuff going on with them.
Screws falling out, connection issues. Since Logitec bought up Astro they are not the same anymore. Astro was my fist option for the PS5 Pro, but not anymore after reading the bad things.
On my PC i have a Sennheiser 660S2 wit a good amp, thing sounds awesome.
But i see so much options for the PS5 but not the holy grale that got it all.
Steelseries are good, but the mic aint all that good i hear.
Audeze Maxwell are to bulky and heavy for my taste, had a high end pair before i returned it for my Senheisser.
What's left? I care about good sound and good mic.
**EDIT: Thanks for all the suggestions people! After looking at some reviews, i just ordered the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Omni. I think this will have everything i need for the PS5 Pro.**
My Astro A40 gen2 was the best headset i ever had. That thing just had it all.
Great comfort, great sound, great mic. For me it was just perfect. Was a sad day when it died.
And when Logitec bought Astro, that was a sad day also haha. Maby you are one of the lucky ones, but i do hear and read so many bad things about the Logitec Astro's.
Screws falling out, the headrest part letting go breaks off etc...
But they do still sound good with that Astro signature sound.
Just read there was a man and a woman, owning both the Astro A50X and both headphones died in 3 months use. They got replaced and 2 month later broken again.
I hear lots of connection issues.
So i ordered the Steelseries Omni this time around.
I still got a return window, so i will test them out today when they arrive.
If i do return them, maby i will change them for the Astro A50. I trust that one more than the Astro A50x.
Yeah Sennheiser are unbeatable for me personaly, i love my 660S2 with a good amp.
Sometimes when i have visitors over i put on a LP (record) combined with a good tube amp, and i had people who got silent and emotional haha. I love that when a good setup can hit you in the feels.
I had the HD800S, but for the price i just can't justify it over the 660S2. To my ears, i liked the 660S2 better.
When they first arrived i was stoked! Put a record on, put the HD800S on my head and it was good. But not that good. I know lots of people who bought high end headphones and return them, you have to get used to it. They are not gaming headsets with pumping bass.
But i just ordered the Nova Pro Omni's, because i wanted a gaming headset for the PS5 pro so it ticks all the boxes for me. if i want to listen to music i will grab my Senheissers 😄
The Omni's are a bit better for in-game situational awareness and microphone clarity over the Elites.
I personally use Astro a40s and they work great. A lot of people recommend the steelseries arctis nova 7, so if I were you, I'd go for those if you're able to afford them.
