"Everything else just sounds bad to my ears when compared. ... I have tried to switch every time my current astro set dies and every time I just return the headset within a week because the sound quality just seems awful."

"the mic boom pivot disintegrated from basic use."
"my Astros lasted a little more than a year."
"They are made of the cheapest plastic"
This was one of the couple reason I chose the Nova Pros . I went from A50 Gen 3's to Artics pro to the Nova Pros, the battery swapping, the easier customization that Wicked cushions offer, and the way they look as the blend in a bit better as a regular pair of cans if I had to step out the house with them. The A50s base pissed me off towards the end so I think that's why I soured on them
r/steelseries • My Noob Review... SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless ->I had 3^rd gen when Best Buy had a price mistake for $110. I sold mine about a year after. I read that the battery on those degraded faster than usual.
r/buildapcsales • [Headphone] Logitech G Astro A50X Omni-Platform Wireless Gaming Headset (Used-Like New) White - $195.65 Black - $191.04, Amazon Resale ->Looks like my old gen 1 set. My current gen 3 have the big base station and the newer ones have a smaller more compact base station. That headset is very old
r/AstroGaming • Astro A50 Gen 5 Wireless Gaming Headset Questions ->Personally, I've been using Logitech Astro products for the past fove years and have been in love with the quality. I'm currently using the Astro A50X. I upgraded from the Astro A50 (3rd Gen). Both are incredible, bit PRICEY.

r/XboxSeriesXlS • Price is no concern - best wireless headset for the series x ->Astro A50s, used to use them on my PS4 too and they’re still amazing. There’s an updated Gen 5 of them now too. They’re also much more comfortable than any steelseries headset for me
r/PS5pro • Okay I need opinions about gaming headsets for the ps5 pro 😎😁 ->I am new to PS switch from XB and I brought over ny Astro A50s to PS, didn't like the performance on PS so I bought Steelseries Arctic Wireless Pro and Pulse Elites. I would return the pulse elites but scracthed them changing out cushions. The Steelseries I really like even better than what the A50s were for me on XB.
