Eh. I ended up with the Arctis and not bad. Still miss my Astros but more control and better audio with Arctis. Mic quality on my end is kinda ass and it sometimes disconnects when I first turn the PS5 on.
Had problems with a50 gen 4’s and returned two pairs that had the same problem (buzzing noise no matter what) back to back. Tried the gen 5’s and I like them a lot. No problems with them and have had them awhile now
Ive had so many fucking issues with my astro a50 gen4 from the day i got it(you cant affix the headband it just falls out, design issue) till the day i got rid of it like connectivity just randomly dropping off and the only fix would be to restart pc and unplug and replug the base into the mobo usb port, and the charging being so finicky and the battery life being crappapooie. The game/voice balance eq is also so shit whenever you’re running more than 1 program like discord+game+music player
I have recently switched to a fractal scape and cant be happier with the choice
First you have a warranty. Second; what are people do with them? I have my gen4 since release, it still works, also my gen5 works perfectly since release.
Well after having owned Astro a50 gen 4 (still working), Audeze Maxwell 1 (death by crinkling) and now the A50X (borrowed a friends SS Arctis Nova Pro for 2 weeks before settling on the A50X )
My mate and I concluded that the SS does indeed go into last place despite all the EQ tweaks
It’s only saving grace is the portability and some other features it has but for a dedicated gaming headset the Astro and the AM are far superior.
