So sorry about the random mic pops. No idea why that happened. PS: I also tested all of these with wicked cushions installed, and they really help with boosting the sound and holding detail in. Merry Christmas as well 🎄

[@famezy9103]

Appreciate your videos man. Thank you Call of Duty footsteps is at the 110-140Hz range, so it would be best to increase the 125Hz. You can keep the smiley EQ, but just increase the 125Hz to 4 or 5 Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@XXXdemon45XX360]

​@famezy9103 where do you put that number? I tried putting on bottom but doesn't save.

[@famezy9103]

@@XXXdemon45XX360 You don’t need to put it anywhere. 125Hz is one of the 10 band EQ

@famezy9103 ahh okay, thank you

[@dagmarreyes7570]

the mic pops comes from using noise gate setting, I've tried all settings and all of them produce mic pops

Holy crap that microphone!! Puts this over the G Pro X2 with that alone.

[@sway3566]

Question now on PC are we suppose customize the EQ and Dolby Atmos settings? Or leave EQ at default and adjust Dolby Atmos to gaming or Change both EQ and Dolby Atmos to gaming?

[@refragged]

That mic is CRAZY good. I can't wait for them to make this without the passthrough. One thing I've had on a few wireless headsets in the past is a "hissing" sound constantly while I use them. Low volume white noise. Had them in the original g pro wireless headset. Do you experience that here?

[@TheTechne]

Yeah they need to make it without the passthrough PS: no hissing

[@rickygohagin9708]

Thanks , this video helped tremendously.

So what was the eq for destiny again.

[@11onejay]

Hey man. So i just got done messing with the maxwells i found at microcenter today and i hate to inform people but i really was underhwelemd with them. Dont get me wronf i think they hsve pretty good clarity and are extrenly loud. How ever my gen 4 astros havd better sounding bass and are just farriers mroe comfortable. Are the a50x a noticeable upgrade from the a50 gen 4s??

[@thelonewolf200x]

I've been through a couple astro headsets and numerous logitech ones that they are worth it, I currently own a pair and I'm extremely confident in saying that these are my daily drivers for the foreseeable future. The only thing I will say is they are very pricey but worth it, so get them if you have the money to spare

[@lastHERO22]

the sidetone isn’t high enough on max compared to a50s gen 4 for me , it’s really annoying me

great video!! just got 50 x's abd just can’t conect to g hub could please help ! Appreciated so much in advance

Hi techne merry Christmas to you and your family happy New Year i ordered these astro a50x for My PS5 only i supposed to be getting them on Tuesday im currently using the Logitech pro x 2 wireless headphones for PS5 and the audeze Maxwell i regret buying those they been sitting on my desk for two months now. There too too heavy for every day gaming snd the app doesn't work good how are those new Astros do you think i made a mistake buying them stay safe and happy gaming to all

[@TheTechne]

Honestly if you already have the gpro X2 there is no need to buy these unless you are 100% going to utilize the pass through.

[@amoroso14]

Hi, do u have good Equalizer settings for Story Games Like God of war?

yeah, try the destiny one or the Diablo one

[@xpinkmartini]

Omg I was wondering when Astro was going to come out with a new headset but a pass through? Idk I’m still loving my a40s though

[@zelizz1939]

so im about to buy a g pro superlight but i also might buy the model d wireless. the only thing keeping me from buying the model d wireless is that im worried it will freeze randomly for like 3 seconds like my current model d wired. does the model d wireless do this and could it be because my mousepad is white with black lines

[@ybmw9594]

my mic cracks up when speaking according to others, any fix for this?

[@steventweir8808]

Im curious on how these would sound with the audio on metro exodus.

[@awzup57]

Ive found that the wicked cushions make the headset more comfortable but really hollow out the sound. Id love to say they are good to use, but they really make the audio sounds much worse

[@midice1]

Completely agree with you. I had to go back to my default mod kit from the Astro A50 gen 4.

[@clawson32104]

Just bought my A50X and Wicked Cushions Freeze earpads on Saturday. Havent tinkered with any setting but it has sounded great in the games (Apex, Battlefield 2042 & Cyberpunk) thus far. I was hearing enemies so easily in Apex that my random teammates kept asking what headset i was using to hear things so accurately.

[@SJJ.504]

What presets were u using

[@MsGabriel345]

Can i use eq for ps5? (Like old astro a50 gen 4) Or it works only on pc?

What do you use for Dolby Atmos settings

[@jacobpotter2237]

Can you run g hub eq setting and atmos at the same time? Doesn’t interfere?

I’ve got a good atmos setting for you when I get home if you play fps. Makes them loud. Footsteps louder.

[@XXXdemon45XX360]

Can you make the eq settings for people that play story single-player games?

[@jerrymckinney8630]

I use the one he made for Starfield for Story games, every Story game I've played with that EQ so far sounds awesome!

[@XXXdemon45XX360]

I've been using the destiny sound. It sounds pretty good and bass also. But I'll try the starfield one, see if that's better.

[@shamsrahimi7909]
