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

[@marcinblee100]

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

[@lebanhelya8482]

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

[@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. Now Ima have to do cable management for something that could’ve been designed perfectly. Hats off to turtlbeach not one problem I had with them in the past 2+ years. I’m definitely going back once these break

[@realspillBill29]

Amen

[@ragingpwner241]

It takes 5 seconds to hook up 🤣

[@nickninja52]

@@troubler6268lmao good thing they’re never gonna break had my a40s for years and they’re fine still

[@Tru_lie13]

The A50 was worse because you also had to purchase and connect a separate HDMI adapter.

[@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.

[@thatdappdude820]

Appreciate it 🙌

[@akapnut1697]

When I turn 120hz on my screen with my Xbox the screen just flashes black but it works with my pc and ps5

[@fazeapplestic9420]

Do I have to manually change output devices if I want audio coming out of my tv instead of the headset? Most headsets do this automatically so this is annoying

[@nathangonzalez7148]

Anybody got the answer to this

[@alaliberation5734]

Best headset out there.

[@hermannixon4500]

Hey its Zero from the movie Holes

[@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.

[@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?

[@Sevet123]

Will there be also a Dongle version available in the near future? I dont like the base, i dont care if i must replug the dongle when i wanna uae a other console or wanna switch to pc

[@camaronin1]

La xbox series x sólo trae un hdmi, cómo conecto los auriculares si lo estoy usando para conectarlo a la tv?

[@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.

[@jayhackney3448]

Works perfect on my ps5 but doesn’t work on my Xbox (the mic can hear sound but can’t use mic) any reason for this? Is it needed to have a hdmi 2.1 monitor

[@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.

[@anthonylaw-wyllie9428]

How do you connect your Xbox to a tv if the HDMI input in the back is being used for the headset?

[@garethsunboxings]

did u watch the whole video u need another high speed 2.1 hdmi cable to put into dock and tv

[@rachelschaeffer4119]

For some reason after I plugged everything in I was no longer able to get my 4K 120hz monitor to do 120hz. I had to lower the quality to 1440p to run 120hz. I even bought two new HDMI cables that support 8k 120hz. Any ideas how to fix this?

[@EugenioLiso-fj4bt]

When I select the Dolby atmos home teathre the sound disappear,if I put stereo no compress it work but is not so powerful the audio. Can you answer please if you are brave enough ?!

[@chuckboston617]

What if i cant use Dolby Theaters for HDMI Audio?

[@ruben0206]

I just rewired my headset/base station every different way possible and I still can’t get my Warzone graphics to the same quality as without the 2 hdmi cable setup

[@jamiebird8986]

When I plug in the USB cable to my Xbox the max volume gets a lot lower. Is that normal?

[@alvalv1533]

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.

[@Cznnection_v]

Why do i need 3 HDMI Cables? In the Video they are just 2

[@harrisonholgate5204]

Using on Xbox at the moment. Audio is working but I'm not sure how to get the microphone to work

[@Sinclair_USMC]

ever get it working?

[@jwigs91]

Any feedback? I am also dealing with this issue.

[@maniacsnack3374]

@@jwigs91 make sure the hdmi and usb cable are connected to the dock and your console if the usb is not connected then the microphone part wont work just audio

[@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

[@Shenee0]

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

[@michaelochmann4181]

Do i need another HDMI cable to the xbox or can i just use the USB? My console have a hdmi cable to the TV

[@LogitechG]

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

[@Cznnection_v]

How do i know that i did all right? With 24bit Audio?

[@billyshaw1996]

Really don't know what to do. My A50s randomly stopped working & £359 is a lot to pay for the A50X, especially when you need to buy a 2.1 hdmi cable on top of it. The A50 only had 1 wire to work, why does this require so many?!?

[@DuttySosig]

My Monitor has 2.0 in brackets next to both hdmi ports, am I cooked?

[@walshz]

Will this not work if my monitor is HDMI 2.0? What a trap

[@kaiserconnor2964]

Would I need another HDMI 2.1 cable to connect the base to the monitor? since my monitor only has 1 input

[@garethsunboxings]

pc dont need hdmi only consoles so if the monitor is for console yes it does

[@friskeevi4001]

Does anyone know if this headset allows you to use 120HZ on ps5? I’m currently using A40 TR with Astro HDMI adapter and it’s capping me at 60Hz

[@ianarchiboldmusic]

It allows 120hz on ps5

On Xbox Series x should I adjust eq Settings in logi App and dolby? Or only in one App

Cant get the microphone to work.

[@YZ-LP22]

On my Xbox series x why is Dolby for home theater (hdmi) not an option.

[@alexboisvert13]

Same here… Did you get a answer since?

[@johnny_mh]

question! so for me i don't like HDR10 and keep it off but i play at 4K 60hz and i assume this won't mess with the headset set up right?

[@HairSaves]

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.

[@anvil3999]

Who’s idea was it to make this to a switch headset? Hope he sleeps well at night

[@Wilbo480]

So wait, do I still need to run an HDMI cord from my Xbox to my Monitor? Or just Xbox to Astro A50, Astro A50 to Monitor?

[@garethsunboxings]

xbox to astro dock the from astro dock to tv/monitor

[@ancientchavez1096]

Question!!! Why is it that I can get sound but I can’t get picture to appear on my monitor? I tested all the hdmi cords but when connecting the base station I can only get sound

[@BernieOntiveros]

same problem im having, did you happen to figure it out?

[@dmo2949]

[@jannikbe]

Leider funktioniert bei mir keine 4K Übertragung wenn ich die Box zwischen schalte… woran kann das liegen ?

[@xXRayBenXx]

Falsches Hdmi kabel?

[@FPMExile]

This is kinda a mess. Then for me you have to include my home surround sound system that I pass threw also with hdmi cables so I’d have to go from Xbox-surround sound-headset-tv it’s a cool idea but I think the hdmi setup is not the greatest.

[@alexboisvert13]

Does the HDMI option on the base provide true for console? I'm using an Xbox Series but playing on a PC monitor (which doesn't have an optical port). I'm desperately trying to get back the 7.1 sound

[@elliottharris5998]

Not sure of your exact setup but you can use a HDMI to optical converter

[@w1ll190]

Yea I don’t think it does, I’m tryin to figure it out myself

[@w1ll190]

Cause I remember on gen 4 I had to use a receiver to be able to use the opt cord in order to get that actually top quality sound and idk if u can even do it with this one seeing it doesn’t even have tht port anymore

[@michaelpascua4201]

How do I mute and unmute? Is there a button for that?

[@2RawBoogie]

wow lol

[@PaaulyPacks]

i’m just gonna use my regular HDMI cables until I feel I need it

[@dergeiledoner9876]

I’ve had the headset for 3 days. And only get a headache. No matter what you turn off and put down. It’s RUSHing all the damn time. It stays the same loud all the time. Unless you also adjust to hear your voice. Then the noise is 4 times as loud. Does anyone have a solution. How can this be fixed? Even if the dock has no power. The headset is noisy.

[@trenau3079]

Mine doesnt do that, yours might be defective

[@austintyler8528]

So if your monitor only has one hdmi port you can’t use this headset?

[@chadbrowski2508]

The opposite, the headset base is a 3 way hdmi splitter for 3 inputs and 1 output (to monitor)

[@liamlambert5823]

@@chadbrowski2508how do I connect my headset to a Xbox and then my Xbox to a monitor if there is only one hdmi on the Xbox I can’t figure it out

[@LykaiosSable]

I spent $750 Aussie dollars, and then spent money for the Dolby app (23 more), and additionally another 28 for a HDMI cable. This product did not need to be this complex. Especially when the diagram does not specify what specs the HDMI cable required. I had an A50 before this, that just clicked across to swap between PC and Xbox. Why do we need additional USB and HDMI cables, when it could have been so much simpler? Poor product design.

[@142readyrock]

Can you mute your mic on here? Can't figure it out..

[@H0DLTHED0R]

I assume you flip the mic upwards to mute and back down to unmute

[@BlackcellGaming]

Can you use this on the Playstation 5? How do you connect it via USB Direct PS5 to the Astro Station and again with HDMI to the Gaming Monitor?

[@garethsunboxings]

so you connect the ps5 hdmi to the dock and the typ3 c cablel from dock to ps5 the another high speed 2.1cable from dock to monitor/tv

[@DELSLAYZ]

How would this work if you had an elgato or any other capture card was looking at the a50x but it seems a mad setup compared to my a40trs

I’m so confused on why Logitech just doesn’t include an HDMI cable when the docking station needs one to turn on. Like if that’s the case, then just include an HDMI cable with it. And why does it need a power block to be plugged in to then plugged into a wall? The A50’s don’t need that so why does this one? Ridiculous and moronic.
