Beautiful headset that brings me right back to the good old days.
I played for the last 8 hours today on this headset and I am blown away. This is the BEST headset I have ever used.I used the old A40’s for over 10 years. They were a beast of a headset and put me ahead of the competition for years. The only problem was that it was wired. The cord would frey over time and eventually screwed up the mixamp after too many rage induced drops.I decided to get the audio sync only as I have little to no desire to pull up the video at the same time as the audio every time. I tend to play the devices one at a time with no need to switch my HDMI along with it. If needed I can switch it by hand.The headset charged very quickly and was easy to understand out of the box. Watching a YouTube video on the set up might help if you have any questions.The a50s are extremely comfortable and somehow light while retaining their solid feel. The mic quality is unbelievable, you could stream with how good it is. Seriously! Even though they don’t have noise canceling, I cannot head an outside sound while they are on my head.Bluetooth is great and the controls on the side of the headset are a little strange but it only took me a few hours to get used to them. (Such as to mute the microphone you just push it up).The sound quality is amazing for both music and games especially, you can hear footsteps from so far away. I love the Bluetooth feature as well, it’s just such a great headset.If you have the money I’d pull the trigger. If you really need to switch your monitor at the touch of a button get the PLAYSYNC + Audio version. But for me the audio version is perfect.The only problem I have is the Astro command center app for PC but that’s a different matter entirely.

Very good headset with only a couple minor flaws.
First of all the comfortably, style and sound of this headset is great. The ability to switch between output from the headset itself is also game changer for anyone that goes between PS5/Xbox/PC. Bluetooth connectivity is good. The only real gripes I have about it is 1. The volume button placement. If you wear a lot of hoods or collared shirts, you’ll find yourself accidentally turning the headset down CONSTANTLY or you’ll hear it beep frequently indicating you’re trying to turn it up when it’s at full volume. This is pretty annoying, I wish they would have moved the volume wheel to the back side of the left ear to avoid this issue, but it’s whatever. The only other thing is that it automatically mutes your voice in games/discord when you get a phone call. This might be a plus for some people, for me it’s a little annoying since I’ll answer the phone and suddenly go silent on my teammates. Maybe there’s a way to disable this feature, if so I haven’t figured it out, lol. Overall I’m pretty satisfied, I had the PS Pro Elite headset and it lasted less than 4 months before it broke right above the ear piece, the build quality of this headset is much nicer and more durable. Pretty pricey but honestly worth it if it lasts more than a year or two.

Poorly designed docking station… issues with bluetooth.
This is way too expensive to have such design flaws. You can place this on the docking station and it will often not charge… you have to wiggle it around until you see it start charging again. This is a great indication that this was designed, bult, and not used by those developing it… either that, or they chose to ignore this flaw. This type of design flaw means 1 star… nothing this expensive should have *any* flaws.Another issue is the device often loses connectivity when not in use and not on charger… you have to place it on the charger, make sure it starts charging in order to use it again.I’ve noticed no difference in sound quality compared to other headsets and I have a ton. It is comfortable on the head though, although ymmv. The comfort is mainly because its lose, not tight. This cannot be adjust. The frame is plastic, if you try to make it tighter or looser, you can break it. Basically, unless you have a big head, don’t get up with these and bend over, they’ll fall right off.All in all, you can spend way less and get way better.

Best headset worth the money
Purchased this headset recently looking for the best headset. I can tell you I might have found it. The design is perfect hugs the head and fits on your ears amazingly. They are a little pricey but that is expected when going for a top notch headset. Battery life is amazing and the base the headset sits in charges them. They are lightweight and have some of the best sound i have had in a headset.

Honestly easy setup with PC! Haven’t tried setting it up yet for consoles, but pretty sure it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! Xbox and PS (Xbox Series S|X & PS5 ONLY)Works with PC, Xbox & PS. And has a switch on the headsets to switch to the gaming system you want to listen too. If you plan to use it for older consoles such as Nintendo 64, GameCube, Nintendo Wii, Wii U, or Switch, etc. You’ll need and adapter or two. Which aren’t much anyways. But these headsets wireless and Bluetooth. I was able to go into the living area of my home and was still able to listen to my games or music. Which were all in my bedroom. The sound quality is pique magnificent! The range absolutely legendary! And the weight, it doesn’t feel so heavy! Feels very light and doesn’t give headaches! Love it!

Fone super bem construido, áudio me agradou bastante, é ate confortável por ser 40mm, eu tenho orelhas medias/grandes e não me incomoda praticamente nada.a base 100% funcional, fone pega em toda a casa praticamente sem fio.minha experiencia até agora e só pelo PC, e por aqui, não tenho nada a reclamar, comprem sem medo!Além de tudo, o fone é lindÃÂssimo, sem palavras!Pelo fato do material dos ear pads ser muito macio e confortável, ele peca no isolamento , e transmite muito o som de dentro para fora, mas para quem esta usando não chega a incomodar praticamente nada.
Truly amazing for gaming ps5 and Xbox look and run smooth. –

Me llegaron en la fecha establecida y en buenas condiciones.Lo Malo: Si los vas a usar para Xbox y PS5, serán muchos cables los que tendrás conectados a la base de los audÃÂfonos.En los Blancos no incluye el HDMI 2.1, el instructivo es muy sencillo y no te explica para que sirven 2 botones; creo no incluye el Dolby Atmos permanente.En los audÃÂfonos negros si incluye un HDMI 2.1, su instructivo es diferente, al parecer si te da el Dolby Atmos permanente, pero vas a necesitar un adaptador para conectarlos a la luz, ya que viene con conexión europea y los blancos si lo incluye.Lo Bueno: (1 semana usándolos) El sonido en Xbox es muy bueno y si tienes el Dolby Atmos le da un plus (en forza se escuchan muy chido), pero no se me hizo la gran cosa el sonido a menos que moviéndole al ecualizador de Dolby Atmos, se escuche mejor y en PS5 me decepcionó porque el sonido es muy plano y no tienes Dolby Atmos, se escuchan mejor los 3D plus o los Corsair que tengo. Su comidad es muy buena, los he usado aprox 5hrs jugando y no me cansan, ya que tengo otros 2 audÃÂfonos y siempre me dolÃÂan las orejas. La baterÃÂa dura mucho, no sé si las 24hrs como dice en la caja, pero también cargan rápido. Puedes quitar las almohadillas muy fácil, por si se te desgastan o rompen. El micrófono es excelente, tus amigos te van a escuchar con mucha claridad. El material se siente de calidad.En pocas palabras, el tiempo que tengo usándolos, pienso que son buenos y quizá en PC se escuchen mucho mejor, pero no pagarÃÂa arriva de 5mil por estos audÃÂfonos Si los usarás para Xbox te van a gustar mucho y si serán para Play 5, mejor busca otros como los 3D plus, aún que en comodidad me quedo con los A50 X.
