"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."

"I had to replace the battery on them last year which was a bit of a pain. ... I think it was around 30$ off amazon and I had to dissasemble the headset and solder the connections, which I managed in an hour with no previous experience."
"Battery life is short"
Going from an Arctis Pro to an A50 gen 5 (Not Lightspeed) the price is nearly the same. I can say the Arctis headband & ear cups are worlds more comfortable. Aside from that the A50 pretty much destroys the Arctis headset. Sound quality in both the hears and the mic out of the box is flat out better. My discord mates could hardly tell the difference between my compressor recording mic and the A50 mic. A 3d printed piece allowed me to put the headstrac from my arctis on the A50, The earcups could be better, but it isn't a dealbreaker for me. I worry about the flip up mic joint, but we'll see.
r/LogitechG • Logitech creates some really awesome gear, so why are the headsets seemingly so bad in comparison. ->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 ->No, the astro A50 breaks way too fast. Also no hotswaping battery.
r/steelseries • Is the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for Xbox the best wireless headset on the market right now for Xbox headsets ->Why would you get hate for Astros? I have a40s and they've been the best headset I've had by a long way, I'm not a massive "sound guy" so I don't really care about the small things, but I needed a headset that was wireless for both PC and occasionally Xbox, and Astros where the best headset that fit the bill by a long way. Granted I've had them probably 6 years now.

r/steelseries • Is the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for Xbox the best wireless headset on the market right now for Xbox headsets ->Astro A50’s are the most comfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever owned
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.
