Setting up your ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset with Xbox Series X|S

[@iLLuZioNz518]

Can you explain to me why when Im spending 400$ on a headset I'm not even getting everything I need to hook it up i need to spend another 50 on cords you should be providing with the insane 400$ price tag like huh

[@matthewhatt6732]

I'm assuming that with HDMI-CEC turned off your Xbox will no longer turn on and off your tv and switch inputs automatically? That's a bummer.

Hahahah, $380 and there is no 1 hdmi cable in the box 😂 well done GG

seriously i had to run around town just to go get one after i had left the store. this is fucking rediculous

[@jessenew9189]

I think this is my first comment ever on yt and yeah, definitely a little PO after paying that price just to head back to the store. Like everyone just has extra hdmi 2.1 cables laying around. I didn’t even know there was a difference until today…

My headset has white noise out of the box is it faulty do i need a replacement or will this be fixed firmware update

Be glad that the headset was in the box😂

[@Genesis-007]

My thoughts are the cabling in the base needs to be replaced by 3 different Bluetooth connections for each console and p.c.

[@LogitechG]

This would produce an inferior audio quality due to lower bitrates for each system.

You can use just the USB connection for game audio and voice chat with your Xbox Series X|S

[@CryosFOXHOUND]

So the issue I'm having, and I'm positive it isn't the volume being low. Is that no audio is being sent to my headphones. I'm not hearing anything, despite the Xbox telling me the headset is assigned. Even my coms show up in the Xbox party

[@ThatGirlNae0]

Same issue and support has not found a way to help fix. For now I just run my hdmi directly to my monitor from the Xbox and connect the USB to the headphone base, that connects with sound.

[@aviatinggamer9051]

I ran into this and had to my tvs (lg oled c2) audio settings and then go the hdmi channel that I had the base station connected to. Then I had to change the hdmi channel from bitstream to pcm. I don’t really know if it’s supposed to work like this

[@WafleEnterprises]

Ok so my solution was to put the headset output at Stereo Uncompressed and speaker output at Dolby Digital…

[@EstebanArce-j1v]

Could you tell me what to do? : mi Xbox series x do not recognize the microphone of the A50x. I appears disconnected.

Dude i just got mind today and they sound great on my pc and ps5 but on my xbox they sound low asf the only time they get loud on my xbox is if I play music with apple music but thats it games still sound low and it say to use the headset to adjust sound settings like party audio but it doesn't work.

[@ghostspartan86]

For nearly 400 dollars that's way too many cables to connect.

[@troubler6268]

Honestly they should’ve done a usb instead of that stupid dock. I had turtle beaches and I’ll I had to do was pair them to my Xbox no usb required.

Does anyone know how to TURN OFF the astro a50x base station after the headset is fully charged?

[@gamingwithwilliamyt1341]

Just a question about this headset will the accessories from the previous a50s work on them and that also includes third party accessories as I bought some earpads from a third party company

[@LogitechG]

Yes, the A50 Mod Kit from the Gen 4 A50 is compatible with the new A50 X. We can't speak for third party accessories not validated by our team though.

[@ghostriderx9313]

So everything works but I’ve noticed whenever I’m using the headset there feels like there’s an input delay. Do you know why I have 120 and 4K enabled?

[@indefinitelyserge547]

Why do we need to change color depth

[@deleonfountain8220]

I’m not sure if anyone else had this issue but the headset was picked up by the Xbox but I couldn’t hear audio unless I went into the accessories app on the Xbox and turned it off. The fix was to unplug the hdmi that runs from the Xbox to the base station and run it directly to the monitor. Im assuming it’s because my monitor is a bit old and doesn’t support hdmi 2.1

[@Smurffies]

they want you to buy another HDMI cable. for nearly $400 They can give you another HDMI cable It's kind of BS. I'm intrigued but you needing to buy another HDMI cable high-end nevertheless and then he got to find another plug to plug this thing into the wall as well... I'm really intrigued but you're kind of making me like not want to buy it because of this BS.. I get the plug it into the wall at least but shit you should 100% be giving us a HDMI cable

[@AzrealJ]

Yeah I got mine today and I’m extremely disappointed, they don’t even work right on some monitors cause you to have to lower your resolution and they’re just hideous for cable management having to have 6 cables plugged in and having to use a wall outlet is insane

[@Smurffies]

@@AzrealJ well that's fucking concerning.. also thanks for the update my dude. I just picked up a PS5 for helldivers and I'm like hey I got both consoles now be nice just to swap between instead of buying another headset. I just bought another a50 It was on sale at Best buy. Just makes me more glad I didn't buy those things because all the reviews just keep saying it's the same thing as the a50 but it can just switch between stuff unless you buy HDMI cables for the cable hoard you'll have

[@Alpha_Runaway]

I get that this should be an issue but two thing. Most monitors come with dedicated cables both DisplayPort and HDMI and consoles also come with them. Chances of not already having the right cables for use are extremely slim. On the part about the resolution you can fix that using the control panel for the card itself and is usually a card limitation. Over DisplayPort my current rig can play up to 144fps on 4k but only 100fps on HDMI.

[@NevetsRael]

@@Alpha_Runawayidc how slim the chances are of someone not having another hdmi cable. For $400 it’s absolutely absurd to not include one. If this was a cheap headset then yeah okay fine…. But it’s not… At all. Some people may not have extra cables laying around, bc honestly if you have everything you think you need already then why would you? Now on top of the load of money you just spent on a headset, you’ve also gotta go back to the store to get another cable that 100% should’ve been included in the first place. Completely fkn asinine. If I had known this before I bought my set, I honestly probably wouldn’t have bought it just based off of principle. Not to mention it’s way overpriced for the marginal “upgrade” to begin with. Cable probably would’ve cost them less than $2 to include. Give me a fkn break. I refuse to make excuses for corporate greed ESPECIALLY at these kinds of prices.

[@ragnarokz7178]

[@VisForVindetta]

Shouldn’t be an issue. They are just telling you to put it on because the Xbox will recognize the base station as a new TV and you will likely have to redo any settings. It’s just reminding people to recalibrate their HDR because of this.

[@logitechsupport]

Yes, if you keep HDR10 off and play at 4K 60Hz, it won't interfere with the headset setup. The product is fully capable of passing through 4K 60 content without HDR.
