How to Setup the Astro A50 Wireless Headset on the Xbox One S Console

[@Mr9447753]

I just adopted my brothers old astros and was frustrated bc I couldn’t figure out my issue with the sound, but you helped out a lot. Thank you!

[@raptorburro8527]

Wow the best mic tutorial I’ve ever watched. Hands down. Just got the halo edition a50’s and I wanted to give them a test and I can not find a video that explains this we or at all for the life of me. This is the best

[@danwilliams6650]

Your a legend, I've had the A50s for about 3 maybe 4 years possibly Longer and never used them because I couldn't figure out how to get game sound in the headset until your amazing video, Thank you so much

[@Manoverse]

Dan williams but how’d u go so long with the headset not working i’m confused

[@pablomadriz5375]

After 3 years I just got these super helpful,thank you

[@makaylacolv]

this video has helped so much!!! i tried everything!! i looked on google and none of it worked, but this video did. thank youuuu 💖💖💖

[@fadex6095]

You explained it so much better than the actual Astro people. Thank you !!!!!

[@mtchyB]

Perfect video. Walked me through everything step by step. Beautiful

[@wattage]

This was a fantastic, no-nonsense overview of how to do everything with the A50's. Very neat, well-explained, and to the point. I'm looking for a new headset and your video was spot-on! I'll check your other vids, but did you do the same treatment for PS4 and PC with this headset?

[@BalbirSingh-zh2ne]

Brilliant and clear explanation. Massively helpful. Thank you.

[@angelo2939]

How do I know when done charging

[@Diddy917]

Everything works besides I cannot chat with friends! I can hear but I cannot talk back. Any reason this may be happening??

[@SillyFishLips]

Same

[@sergiocervantes8114]

The same thing happens to me too, did you find any solution? Where did you buy your astro?

[@migonacv58]

You need to download the Astro app on your Xbox

[@shannonlilly5365]

Mine is the same I can hear but my mic doesn’t work at all !!

[@christophercoxministries6590]

Thanks Dude this really helped me out

[@alpeaceandlove]

I am from Watford brought this from Watford argos and used this very useful guide to help me set it up thanks fella

[@ginjirouch.7546]

Very helpful my mate vince

[@OCClark]

can it work if you plug a aux cable into the headset then into the controller??

[@michelleneasha]

That's what I was wondering I even commented on here about it but I was calling it a converter lol I didn't know the name for it lol. So did you ever find this out?

[@MrSchrevedog]

shell I always try and no go

[@ohhshxtitsmichael]

i tried this, and the aux on the astro is 2.5mm so i bought a special aux that was 2.5mm to 3.5mm and it didn’t work. so you can’t use as just headphones if that’s what you’re looking for.

[@CastielMichael88]

Can someone help me - i have the same headset but in Halo edition and without usb cable the headset is not working. With wire plug in everything works.

[@michelleneasha]

Just wanted to say great video it's one of the better ones I've seen becuz not only do you show everything step by step but you also are explaining it as you go along thanks man I just wish I had the ones you've got becuz mine are the original A50s lol but thanks anyways though that's my bad 👍👍👍😁

[@kanogomez5063]

I just bough the A50 but for xbox 360...i think the 2013..14 edition...but i got a xbox one X...idk if they are going to work..im missing the optical cable...

[@roannmoe5527]

Great video... Getting my astro's today!

[@naterybar9106]

I own the Astro a50 Halo Master Chief edition I have the MixAmp but I don't own the do I need the bay station to get the full benefit of these headphones such as in game audio for example I can hear my friends chat but I cannot get game audio at the same time everything is syncned....I've already done all that and upgraded the firmware so do I need to base station in order to hear in-game audio

[@DapperGort]

I have the same model but i have static in my ears and my mic is always on how do i fix it?

[@missglitchi]

thank you so much for this, you helped out a lot

[@justisolated5621]

Can you use a USB wireless transmitter and then connect the A50 via USB to the Xbox one S?

[@justsomedude1488]

For gen3 headset a50, does it need stupid adapter to chat? Don't need any adapter on ps4, so why this?

[@henryshupe97]

If I plug the USB into my macbook can I listen to music and podcasts?

[@TheKudos75]

Great video mate weldone I have astro a50 headset and learnt a few bits too cheers

[@Kdaileyy]

So do I have to plug it into controller or can I just use wireless? Cause I have the power A fusion controller and it don’t plug in

[@chrishalle1982]

Was that generation 1 of the astro a50?

[@epicgamingandmore4676]

Hi on my X box one s official chat headset I can't hear any voice

[@sbdonlon]

Wondering if you can help me. I have the astro a50s for the Xbox. Not used them in sometime. When I use them now to play this video with them plugged into my mobile, the video audio is all stuffed up. Never had this issue when I first got them.

[@TehDwelleR]

Do the latest Astro A50 work with the Xbox 360? I wanted a pair of wireless ones because wires annoy me.

[@dominickditizio4403]

How come I don't see Bitstream on my audio output?

[@haydenbousum7906]

I don't have a bitstream output button on mine, mine just says headset format

[@goku208888]

Thax for the upload dude

[@moralesrodriguezemilianoau5826]

Dude where did You Buy that cable, 3.5 for conect the controller with the headset (sorry for My Bad English xd)

[@eli4301]

Thx for the info, helps a lot. Im recommending your vid to others.

[@kylehamilton9466]

What kinda plug can we buy to connect it to the controller? My a50s didnt come with a chat cord.

[@michelleneasha]

@Shadows2207 can you just use a converter instead? You know like how the A50s are a 2.5mm and the Xbox one is a 3.5mm can't you just buy the lil splitter looking pice that you can plug your 2.5mm into one end of it as where the 3.5mm is on the other end that you would plug into the controller and you could just plug it directly into your controller or chat pad like that? I'm just wondering if that would as work a well? If you know it would be much appreciated thank you.😊

[@illcxpher9264]

Still £279.99 one year later however if I'm not mistaken they have put the earlier edition up to £249.99 although they're out of stock, can you confirm?

[@hollylouise6190]

I don’t have to wire it with my controller?

[@juananderikabarajassanchez7958]

Where can I buy the accessories, I currently only have the head set?

[@shamimaakter6208]

Does it work with the ps4

[@no_limitdeno]

Can you connect the Astro a38 to the Xbox

[@briansobers3402]

Hell Yeh,who cares .the sound is amazing .paid 135 for mine.90 percent of the time in game who chat.only for Xbox you need the chat cable.thanks bro you change everything.hell yeh

[@cesarmendez7977]

I have a problem... i cant hear the party chat on the headset.. just if i put the volume on the speakers but its si noisy and it hurts

[@tips_tricks_and_gameingfia1297]

i dont have the opt thing what do i do and also no thing to go from remote to headset i got this off my dad and he cant find other stuff

[@therealprince777]

Do you know if the the optical output will be already processed or is simply a splitter

[@danielblanco6899]

Does this version works on ps4? I mean just the headset, I have the mixamp for the ps4

[@KUBABUBABU]

Do you need a chat cable to talk?

[@xxlonewolfxx1143]

So you cant use it wireless to chat?

[@michelleneasha]

Is there anyway you can buy a converter to use if you've got the original A50s an the part that plugs into the controller is only a 2.5 mm? What I mean by A converter is its this lil wire that looks like a splitter, at one end it'll take the 2.5mm and on the other end it'll Be a 3.5mm that can plug directly into the controller or chat pad. Soo if there is anyone that might know if this would work it would be much appreciated thank you.

[@rodebesalza757]

Can any Bluetooth headset be used as I have the Bose qc35ii

[@dynxzwtf]

I have an Xbox one x I need help setting my mic up do I need an adapter??

[@dravyn4124]

[@sam4gaming135]

I love the beat drop

[@Haveritsme]

Is the mic fixed now? I have use my computer for 2 years only for chating with my friends, Because the adapter is bad they cant hear me

[@nicholaswilke2228]

U also need to set the headset audio on the Xbox to surround sound. U had it on stereo bro.

[@Axizi]

Is the stand important?

[@haydenwalsh6651]

absolutely great video well explained, thank you 😄😄😄😄

[@emil1322]

You are the best. Thank you.

[@frsk9547]

working on series s?

[@zvn1161]

can you connect this to pc and talk?

[@nuhstawlgia]

mine won’t click into the back. it goes mostly in bit not all the way

[@misterrage881]

Everything is working fine for me it's just when I'm talking to friends. They can hear me but I can't hear them?

[@hugejobbie]

you got any advice on pkaying a ps4 pad on a xb1

[@MONKEYBOY2443]

I thought this headset was wireless

[@richierich8986]

Technically it is, it's true wireless when you don't want to chat with people. If you just want to hear the game it is. So it's kinda like having a glorified pair of earphones that sound great. Lol

[@natek987]

@sahdowdragoon6 The gen 3 A50s do not require the chat cable. Previous generations do require it, though.

[@hadiishafiq1327]

Sameeeee

[@hinds90]

@@natek987 just picked up a old gen yesterday I guess and was disappointed I had to connect to the control to chat but I guess for 40$ I can't complain. It sucks mostly because I use a cronusmax plus to switch my stick layout to legacy for games like pubg and rainbow six siege (no cheating scripts or game packs)

[@saintau2239]

Same

Please make a video of how to connect wireless headsets on Xbox one s

[@tiincho9583]

This headset works like kinect?

[@OceanicMaestro]

Do you need the headphone jack in your controller to hear game sound? Because i know you need to have it in for mic

[@0-B1]

Unknown Truths only for old gen new gen that his is not you do not need it

[@SJD4444]

Do you know how to setup the 3rd generation? I can’t for the life of me get the mic to work 😭

[@BeastMoo]

Make sure you have it set to Xbox initially. If you already have it set to Xbox, you can just flip the switch on the right side. Sometimes my mic doesn't work and I fix this by switching to PC and back to Xbox. After that you should see a pop up saying something along the lines of "headset assigned". Sometimes it also helps to completely close out of the game app and relaunch it.

[@juice610]

will this mic setup work with my razer wolverine tournament controller? Its only got a 3.5mm headphone jack

[@wholewheatbread7698]

I got these headphones off Amazon and I didn't get the base station just the headphones

[@Axizi]

I tried this the mic isn’t working.. help?

[@dylancontreras8915]

I have a problem i want to use my headsets on the xbox one s but they are usb no 3.5mm and when i connect that headset i can't hear anything who can help me????

[@kayotic14]

I thought with a Xbox update you did not need chat cable

[@0-B1]

Kayotic it's old gen not new one

[@adampeters5935]

this was great thank you

[@sauve76]

Do this headset support 7.1 surround sound on xbox one... if so is that with the new controller or does it not matter and the old control will also work with the adapter

[@0-B1]

Jay Sauve latest gen does yes he is using old one

[@alexnunez31]

I dont know if anyone still reads this but im hoping if someone can tell me and if they will work with the a50s i hear that they are 1.5mm then i hear they are 2.5mm so can someone please tell me a what they are i think they are gen two and they arent 3.5mm since i cant use the same cord with my phone and astro's

[@Schulls]

Dolby atmos??

[@billybobjr2951]

Mine keeps cutting out really bad when I talk in a party and the person talking to me and hear there self echoing

[@The2xWhiskey]

Same here. When I called Astro customer support their unwillingness to acknowledge the echo, I basically swore off the brand for life.

My opinion since it has to be tethered to the controller I would get a non wireless one.
