2020 Astro A50 Long Term Review! Better than A40 TR?!

[@seanmcgloin8378]

I purchased a pair of the A50's the other day, watched the dark knight. Seen the movie a bunch but never heard it like this before. Best quality headphones ive experienced.

[@samburt]

but this contradicts his main negative about them..

[@TooMuchTech]

They aren’t very loud or immersive, but the quality of the detail in the audio is something to be appreciated. It’s just heightened if you try the A40 TR’s with the Mixamp pro in direct comparison. I wish the A50’s were louder tho

[@Rippz-]

@@TooMuchTech I'm looking to upgrade from an older gen of the TR's w/ MixAmp to either the new gen of the A40's or A50's. Is the volume a big difference between the two? I love my A40's because they're the loudest headset I've owned but if the A50's are significantly quieter than the A40's that would sell me to get the new gen of 40's. Thanks for the great review! Subbed.

Astro Headsets are great quality all around, pretty much abused my Gen 1 A50's and they still keep trucking on (btw the flip mic to mute feature has been there from the first gen). That said the gen4's look to be a nice upgrade. P.S. You can charge the A50's as you use them you don't have to dock them to the base station, just attach a micro b usb to the port on the headset to any powered usb and they will charge about twice as quick to.

You can adjust the Dolby settings (if you purchase the Dolby add-on; 14.99$) AND the audio settings in the ASTRO command center to up the bass to make it more like the TRs.

What about the battery life?

[@JeffStormBorn]

Is a Gen 2 A50 headset compatible with the gen 4 base?

[@nephroghost1912]

Jeffrey Reyes no it is not. I mistakenly said I have the gen 2 now but it’s the gen 3 i have that’s still great. The gen 4 ive had for a few weeks are definitely superior to the 3’s. I did have the gen 2’s as well.

[@itachisvaccination3123]

Nephroghost With you upgrading to the Gen 4, does the Gen 3 work with new mix amps, or would you need to get the gen 3 mix amp to pair with? Also, would you still have the Gen 3 and be interested in selling online?

They good the A50’s just battery craps out in a couple of years which doesn’t make it worth it on my 3rd pair so going with a40’s I’ll deal with the wire worth it than battery messing up in a couple of years and warranty over $100 for 2 years like at Best Buy crazy if you ask me. Ima catch the a40’s on sale for $200 which makes it worth it and more customization

I usually buy turtle beaches, would you recommend this more than a Stealth 700? Not really a pro player but I do like audio fidelity

[@ColinC-137]

What you bought and how is it?

[@SonictheNinja]

Great review! You wanted to hear about another comfortable one? You should try and review "Rig 800" by plantronics! Compared to all the turtle beaches I've owned, Tritons, and even the astro a50's- they are by for the most comfortable, AND best sound all around for nearly half the price! Everyone sleeping on them cause they arent some big brand, but DEFINITELY worth! They come with a dolby atmos code free too and last forever! =)

I think the asrto a50 should be compared to something like stealseries arctis pro ,I used both for 3 years, The astro a50 is on top for single player and cinematic games like reddead 2 god of war etc especially with the dolby sound you will feel that you live in the game world, The arctis pro on the other hand is louder and more accurate with a the best battery life ever since it comes with 2 batteries and all you need is 4 seconds to replace and continue the game its optimal for games like warzone overwatch etc, Still you cant go wrong any of them.
