The New KING of Gaming Headsets? - Astro A50X Full Review

[@SpuddGaming]

Let me know what you think of the headset and also of the video itself! First video on the channel that was edited by my new editor who will be doing half the videos on here going forwards! 💜

[@AZN_FROST]

I think no to the price €400 😔

[@ReaperWAM]

@spuddGaming how is this after 1 month? when i was a teen i always wanted the a50s, but i could never afford them. Now I can finally get them if i choose. $500 CAD is steep, but i am still very tempted.

[@DiiZeh_]

I need these for sure. The white design looks absolutely INCREDIBLE 🔥

[@SpuddGaming]

They’re so good!

[@SPRMUSIC00]

Hi Jonny, I checked out your entire channel last night and WOW! pro content and product reviews all the way. You were born to do this, well done. I can see a million plus subscribers on the way, no problem. Great studio , great setup. Keep up the good work, see ya soon buddy 🙃

[@SpuddGaming]

Thank you so much for that, I really appreciate it! It was great to chat with you yesterday, could have gone on for hours! Love what you’re doing and I’m excited to see more soon!

[@IDanyyI]

Got them 2 days ago, and they are worth every penny ngl. Game changer 🙌 being connected to pc and ps5 at the same time its crazy

[@1037g8ming]

What about in Mw3?

[@3starperfectdeer233]

Does it have a wheel for game chat and a wheel for game audio? I'm seriously annoyed with my 700 gen 2 max

[@SpuddGaming]

Agreed, I’ve been loving using them

[@Randomanimedude305]

The design looking heavenly

[@SpuddGaming]

Very nicely designed

[@angelm5888]

Best headsets ever keep the good content brother 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bornprophecy128]

Great review! I got a black pair but might need the white! It’s so clean

[@SpuddGaming]

Thank you!

[@itsgettingstrangeroutthere]

You mean you have the Astro A50 black pair. Not the new X black pair.

[@bornprophecy128]

@@itsgettingstrangeroutthere No, I have the A50X in black. Got the white in addition to it.

[@emanuelcortez1546]

I have sony 3d pylse but want axtro a50 x is the audio that much better?​@bornprophecy128

[@bornprophecy128]

@@emanuelcortez1546 It’s a major upgrade imo. The difference is night and day. Even my SteelSeries Arctic Nova Pro’s with custom EQ’s are collecting dust in the drawer. The A50X’s are the way to go

[@team624811904]

I just got mine on the PS5 slim I love them they’re awesome 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@ikaika_higashi]

Love the design and having a charging stand is awesome! I just wish you could just use a dongle for USB Wireless and Bluetooth and not require the whole hub

[@SpuddGaming]

It would be handy to have that as a second option maybe

[@Nieedźwiedź]

Do you have some MIC TEST samples direct from PS5?

[@Muhammed-wk5ce]

Hey dude , love your content if you don’t mind me asking you one question , since you are the only guy i trust when it comes to headphones. Regarding the astro a50x , do recommend the Bluetooth for mobile gaming like pubg mobile, or do u recommend another headphone

[@randomguy60900]

That design looks so techy! Love it! just wish i had a pc to use it with...

[@MelvinAxen]

Is it worth upgrading from the previous generation?

[@jerseydevillian9149]

Absolutely

[@rod01]

For music, do you think it goes head to head with the Edifier W950NB? or a KUBA DISCO or AKG K361 or SENNHEISER Hd 559? Does it have a p2 cable to connect directly to the DAC?

[@MrGalaxyPigTwo]

They look sick!

[@SpuddGaming]

They are!

[@MrGalaxyPigTwo]

​@@SpuddGamingI would definitely get them but I can't afford them :(

[@krisirizarry]

Just got these to replace my Audeze Maxwell (because I broke the dongle). Audeze replaced the dongle but I’m still keeping these too lol. Both are phenomenal headsets!

[@TheGjergj79]

If you had to keep 1 which would you keep?

[@krisirizarry]

@@TheGjergj79 gosh, that's hard! i'd say overall The Audeze but only by a hair. If you're primarily gaming, i'd go with Astro but Audeze is maybe best for music. You can't lose with either one. I also have the new Corsair Virtuoso Max which are a true contender as well.

[@X3r0xMachina]

Quite literally the best sounding gaming headset I’ve ever owned I only have a few issues, it cannot switch from console video input to PC, I think this can be easily changed by adding a dedicated hdmi pass through port for pc just like there is one for PS and Xbox, another thing is that when you connect your phone and listen simultaneously with game audio, the phone connects to the dock not the headset so as soon as I leave my room with my phone it starts giving problems… why do I need to leave my phone by the dock in order to hear music from it? What if I want to go and eat in my dining room while listening to music or watching a video

[@RyDaHero10]

Anyone else not getting audio outside of the headset itself on ps5? I'm on a lg c3. Changing input doesn't matter. Audio comes thru headset no matter what. Any fixes? Headset is also docked and off when switching outputs.

[@ilove2wheels44]

I returned mine for low volume compared to my old A-50 astros tried to figure it out for a week just sounded like the volume was at 50% or 60% wouldn’t get any louder sad. I feel the manufacturers are lowering the volume from the factory 🤦‍♂️

[@KreiosUS]

I have 32GQ750-B monitor and have two HMDI 2.1 cords and followed the tutorial on how to set up Astro a50X to the PS5 did all that and I still have a black screen and when I disconnect everything and hook up just the HMDI that came with the PS5 it works

[@danielchylik5704]

Try updating firmware

[@Fortnite-so7zm]

They look so cool 😊

[@SpuddGaming]

They do!

[@Fortnite-so7zm]

@@SpuddGaming didnt expect you to reply

[@fanera17]

Does the new headset controls the volume on pc ?

[@babayaga.666-v8x]

Hi can u connectable at multiple bluetooth devices ? For example with phone and tv

[@Kiobao]

I have this headset and i love it, especially since I use it to switch when playing my ps5, my ONLY issue with it is the white yellows on the mic arm and the plastic that holds onto the ear cups. The cups themselves stay white and look clean. I've thought about putting a sticker or something over the plastic. that turns yellow.

[@AvariceAu]

This was a concern of mine so big thank you for your comment. I wanted the white to go with my aesthetic but I guess I'm not against black if it means avoiding that.

[@fred420]

Just picked these up and while I love them they hurt my ears after a few hours. I ordered some wicked cushions to see if it resolves it.

[@bravos2709]

Not sure have y noticed but space for mic is on the other side of base :) you've been placing headset wrong way for whole video :D

[@guilhermefreire9308]

Actually the astro microfone is better than yours xD, thank you for producing content about this headset, do you have a opinion about when it comes to South America?

[@SpuddGaming]

I wouldn’t know on that unfortunately

[@samparsons1151]

I got a set of Astro A50 X headphones and the Mic is not working for me. It works via bluetooth but will not work through the lightspeed connection, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make it work? I was up for about 4 hours last night trying to research this and trying to install new audio drivers etc but nothing worked for me the sound also works through the headset

[@KhiTV]

I like it but it’s a lot of wires to add to the setup 😅

[@SpuddGaming]

Yeah that’s one downside to this kind of way of setting it up

[@DEM3NTE87]

Can anyone tell me if you are required to plus in the HDMI cables to access the multi connection ps5/Xbox? I don't feel like moving all my wires just for that!!

[@PotatoButRad]

I would have to try them on my own head before EVER spending $300+

[@Sonkunn]

but what if you have 2 monitors? one for ps5 and one for pc . if you switch to pc or visaversa you will also lose signal to your monitor... is there a solution for that

[@CokeOnDaRock]

Well no.. no headsets work for you

[@antclothier1178]

I’m sure you keep putting the headset the wrong way round on the base station. Maybe it’s for the video but it’s bugging me 😂

[@PokeIsCop]

Please bro what is ur mousepad

[@andrewghali5274]

Im sad the microphone on here sounds way better than the A30. The gap is far too great.

[@SpuddGaming]

It’s a big leap forward for sure

copied intro i like it

[@SpuddGaming]

What do you mean copied?

[@iiiHOT]

1. It sounds sooo bad on ps5 2. EQ settings on consoles has to be via the mobile app, which is very limited. Poooooor headset, I regret buying it

[@SpuddGaming]

For me it sounds just fine on PS5, and while it may be a little limited having to EQ in the app when using on console, most headsets don’t have any EQ options at all for console use so this is still a win

[@iiiHOT]

@SpuddGaming with all the respect, this is not accurate at all. Even the old generations of Astro were allowing the enduser to adjust the settings (using Astro command center) with no limitations, and they can sync that to the headset. Even this is not an option any more.

[@SpuddGaming]

I was talking more about newer headsets on the market rather than comparing to older ones

[@SomeFrenchDude]

Overpriced + this video is just an ad.

[@SpuddGaming]

Neither of those things are true, you can’t really call something overpriced until you’ve tried it for yourself. And there is a difference between an ad and a paid review. They also have no control over what I say in the video, and the pure fact of the matter is that I now use this headset on a daily basis because I prefer it over any other headset I’ve ever used

[@Nore613]

And I'm sure if you badmouth their product you won't get anything from them ever again therefore you won't be able to make videos on that product while everyone else is therefore no views for those videos because you won't have those videos because they didn't send you the product and all because you badmouth their product. Yes it's paid advertisement , but in a different way

Exactly just bought it half debt and half credit card so affordable that way lmao😅
