A50 Wireless Gaming Headset & Base Station Gen 4

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.

Astros will be the most comfortable by far. Steel series will probably last the longest because you can swab batteries. That's the only reason I gave up my astros and changed to the steel series. But astros are definitely way more comfortable. Sound and mic quality are basically the same between the two

Like any other product you will only see reviews and people comments on bad experiences. I’m still rocking Xbox gen 3 a50, ps4 gen 3 a50, and Xbox gen 4 a50 and ps gen 4 a50. (One for gaming pc, one for series x, one for ps4, and one for wok pc)… I honestly should get the a50x 🤣🤣🤣 just for convenience…
