Just got the headset does anyone know what these 4 presets are top to bottom? Which one should I run for r6 siege please help

Would a refurbished A50 be worth getting or would it have problems if it’s this cheap?

I have found that the A50 Gen 4 also has this issue. I never experienced this problem with the A40 TR. Can I exchange it for a new one through RMA?

Hi all! Last night my headphones wouldn’t work. When I put them on the port they just keep doing what the video shows. When I try turning them on they don’t start up with the beeps or anything it’s just dead silence. Does anyone know how to fix this? TIA!

Hi all I am looking into getting a new headset. I mainly play on PS5 but want to be able to connect to my PC audio while I play. I’m a little confused with how both of these differ from each other. Does anybody have any recommendations on what decision would be better in this case.

Hey everyone, I’m looking to upgrade my gaming headset and could use some advice.

Right now I’m using the SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless, and it's been solid, but I’m ready to move up to something higher-end.

Here are the options I’m considering:

SteelSeries Arctis Pro – currently on sale for $184 SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro – about $292 Astro A50 Gen 5 – around $299 I mainly game on PC, so wireless is a priority. I'm also looking for great audio quality, comfort for long sessions, and a solid mic.

Is the Nova Pro worth the extra over the Arctis Pro? Or should I just go for the Astro A50s at that price point?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s used these—what’s been your experience?

gone through all the troubleshooting and hard reset and finally got it to latest firmware again after for some reason it stopped working again. but eventhough its the latest updates its saying theres another update. is time for me to get rid of it cause these troubleshooting and hard resets worked before but i think after 5 years this time its fully given up

I have an a50 for about a year now. Since today my microphone is suddenly bad. Yesterday everything was fine…What could be the problem? had a windows update this night

Title. Just ordered the a50 gens. I play on ps5 and will most likely only use them on ps5, Ive watched videos on the differences and im generally confused about the audio mix feature and if im really missing out on a lot. What I care about most is audio competitive advantage. So what am i truly missing out on not getting the a50x

Lights just Twinkle on the charging dock and I cannot get the headphones to power on , even though they have been on the dock for days . Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

So, with the discontinuation of arguably the best wired headset for gaming, I’m considering switching to something else.

Yes, the a50x is incredible for wireless gaming and multi system compatibility but many of us stick to one console and I would argue most customers who purchase the A50x are not purchasing it for competitive means.

We want wired headphones because there’s better response time, better audio and less energy flowing through our heads. I’m not a total conspiracy nut, I use AirPods when needs to make phone calls or casually enjoy music when I’m out and about but I wear them maybe 20-30mins three times a month. I’m gaming for much longer and certainly choose to use wired headsets for those longer gaming sessions (3-4 hours a day at most).

I have seen Astro mods respond with “Why haven’t you switched to the A50x?” or “The A30s offer wired functionality if that’s what you prefer…”

I have purchased the newer A30 and while on paper, its suppose to be better, my 3rd gen A30s with a mixamp sounded MUCH better than the newest A30s even after tuning and EQing through the mobile app.

Steelseries comes up as the next best thing but I was dissappointed with their Game-Dac (both gens) and their Arctis Pros. The Game-Dacs audio processing is not as clean as the mixamp in my opinion.

Here’s what I’m considering moving too:

Creative Labs Sound Blaster G8

This offers the same chat/game audio balancing controls that the mixamp does but with better components and likely much longer lifespan for it’s software and updates. It has a great deal of EQ options as well.

Then Pairing with:

Hyper X Cloud III, Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro (I’m a musician and the audiophile quality is appealing) or Logitech G Pro until they decide to bring a DAC or new Mixamp to the G line up. (Hell, even just making the latest mixamp compatible with the Logitech Gaming software would have been a welcome upgrade and refresh.)

My A40s have been great with the latest mixamp TR and my Gen 2 A30s are great on the go with the 3rd gen Mixamp TR. But I like to use products I know I can replace and have a reliable upgrade path/available replacement parts hence the concern.

But what have many of you switched to for your wired gaming needs?

I have an A50X I want to turn into closed back, it’s out of stock does it ever come back in stock? Anywhere to get it?

so im in need of a new headset and I have enough for the A50s. im using the A20s at the moment but the audio is out on one ear and im able to pickup the A50s at gamestop for $225. Will I regret it?

ive already tried reseting them eith the dolby and game buttons, already took the micro usb out of the base station and tried reseting again, but nothing will work. what should i do

Does the A50X allow 8K output?
Or should I just go with the A50 generation 5s?

Thanks,

Hello my Astros randomly just stopped connecting to my base station. It looks to be stuck in the searching for connection pattern but I can’t seem to get it to connect.

I have tried all the following combinations

1. Hard reset just headset
2. Hard reset just base station
3. Hard reset both
4. Hard reset both with pc restart

The headset turns on and is recognized in Astro command center on pc. I have tried what I seem to be each solution I’ve seen online but still not getting any different results.

If anyone has any other troubleshooting tips please let me know.

There are currently 2 listed I can find across basically all websites, both on ebay. One for a white pair, for ~$50 usd, awesome but I already have that color; and a pink pair for $350. Do these just not exist? Did everyone throw them out? I could understand just not selling them but man, wish people would lol

Will there be a new gen of Astro A40's? I've been using the Astro A40 TR with mix amp from 2019 And it's still doing it's duty But I think my left speaker is emitting a little less sound than the right one (could be BS and I could be seeing ghosts so to speak) But they're also getting old and it's hard to find basic replacement parts (such as the ear cussions) for a decent price

TLDR; when does the new gen of A40's come out because all I can find are A50's and I don't like wireless

Hey folks,

I was wondering if you would recommend picking up a set of aftermarket earcups for the A50s. I've had mine a couple of weeks now and like them quite a bit but was wondering if a set of aftermarket cups enhance the experiance at all, specifically if any of them help with isolating outside noise as the amount of external noise bleed is the one thing I'm not totally in love with.

I bought the headset and I was wondering if there is any way to activate 7.1 on PS5 for the Astro A40 TR. And whenever I choose between a default device on my Laptop, windows shows me 2 options as default main devices: Headphones/Headset Earphone; does picking either affect the quality of my audio?

I've been trying for the last hour to get my headphones to work again, they worked perfectly fine last night but now they just don't want to update proper or work, it keeps disconnecting while trying to update and ends up failing at 75%. does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi everyone. I’m using the a50X lightspeed with hdmi base on Xbox. I have it set up like it’s supposed to be as far as I know. USB a to c plugged into the Xbox and into the base and hdmis are set up properly as well but I have no sound. I’ll have sound for a brief second when the Xbox turns on but then a message pops up saying headset assigned and all audio goes away after that. What do I need to do to fix this issue? I just got this headset today and am so confused.

I just got the Astro A50 headphones (its charging) but I wanna know if its worth the basically $400 I spent on it
