"if you re on PC and console, the a50x is a no brainer, the ability to switch inputs to determine what is shown on your screen is fantastic. And the audio switches to that specific source straight away."
"you can switch between platforms with a button and it'll switch the output on TV."
"the ability to be wireless to my pc and connect my phone at the same time is awesome. ... I can accept phone calls and still listen to whatever is on the pc. ... Sounds small but really nice to be able to check instagram or something in between ques and having full audio in the headset. ... Or a phone call comes in and you can answer without have to stop playing."

"if you also regularly use Bluetooth on the go, then Astro isn for you as the Bluetooth is on the dock and not on the headset ... Astro is definitely not worth the price when the Bluetooth is on the dock. That was a stupid thing to do, because anyone who buys a headset with Bluetooth would want to use the headset away from their set up and Bluetooth on the go"
"I lost 300$ on a50 gen 5,has worked maybe 10 hours totally ... and dock station froze and stayed in xbox mode after a regular software update... ... tried everything i could,believe me..."
"I've just always found Astros to be egregiously overpriced for how they sound."

"one the battery went bad within warranty"
"The second set just died and I am currently waiting for a battery to get delivered to see if I can revive them."
"they got stuck in standby mode once ... after a ton of troubleshooting the only way to fix them was to physically dismantle the device enough to remove the battery and put it all back together. ... That was not my favorite expereience..."
