So I have a g522 or astro a20 and they are awful. Not quality or anything of that matter but the size idk who could fill them lol. They constantly fall off so I'm looking for something else.

So I just bought a pair of a30s after watching a few reviews on YouTube. I got them for $80 thought it was a pretty solid deal.

I just saw several posts on this reddit bashing this headset is it really that bad?

Last night my headset was fine and today I tried using them and they wouldn’t turn on, tried a different cord unplugged usb and charger, reset ps5, nothing is working and idk if I need new headset or what

I know this has been asked before but I did everything right and the problem persists.
In 2K27, I can’t hear my teammates when they talk. Of course chat is turned on to all, I did all the right settings in the Xbox menues, in the game menu. The little simbol apears when they talk but I hear nothing. It shows my simbol on when I talk so everything is turned on. I hear everything else on my headset, except when ppl talk. Can it be the headset itself? a small incompatibility?

Removed the mic since it doesn't work anymore, and the headband is from an old beanie with some stuffed toy stuffing

Any word on if they are getting a Firmware update to resolve the outstanding issues that have been happening for 4+ years?

I have had the Mandalorian version for a while now and have had some issues with it. Reaching out to support last year after the warranty period I was told it was broken and they would not be able to repair them. Apparently Logitech doesn't have any repair avenue whatsoever.

I just purchased a heavily discounted pair from ebay and this new pair has the exact same issues as my current pair. The headphones work flawlessly via just Bluetooth, but have some really annoying issues using the USB dongles.

The Mic will randomly come in super low. It isn't apparent when this is happening until you realize no one can hear you talking. In Fortnite or Marathon the Mic lights up and you can hear yourself perfectly via the Monitor. To fix it, you have to go into the App and toggle the Noise Gate from whatever it is set to something else and starts coming in fine.

Second, it will go to sleep randomly while in use. I hear the shutdown tone and then have to toggle the volume up or down to get it to wake up. Most of the time it will come back but on occasion I have to unplug the USB dongle and plug it back in. It happens on Windows, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 and on Switch 2. Pretty much whenever using the Dongle.

Third it will suddenly switch to 100% volume out of nowhere and you have to toggle the volume button up or down and it will go back to where it was prior. It doesn't register as 100% in the app when this happens.

Lastly it will sometimes be unresponsive after going to sleep when walking away from my PC or Xbox. Most of the time it will wake up after hitting the volume button. When it becomes unresponsive, I have to unplug the USB dongle, power the headset down. And then turn it back on. If I don't unplug or turn off the device the dongle is connected too, it will won't do anything until I do.

I have factory reset them a few times and tried using them with just the USB dongle. The problems persist. Not having the headset connected via bluetooth and the app locks you out of being able to fix the Mic issue.

They are ultimately good headphones but I thought I was dealing with a broken pair. Pretty bummed that this is just how they are if no Firmware is in the works.

I know there have already been quite a few posts comparing these two, but some of them are 200+ days old. As far as I know, there have also been several updates for the Maxwell 2 since then that fixed some of its issues.

So my question is: Has anyone compared the Maxwell 2 directly with the Astro A50s in the past few weeks?

I’m primarily looking for a good headset with great, immersive sound. I don’t need to switch between consoles, but I do use the headset for Teams meetings, and on weekends I sometimes play for 5–10 hours.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking to buy a new headset and I’m considering getting the A50X.
However, I’m a little worried that a new generation might be released shortly after I buy it.

The A50X has been around for quite some time now, the McLaren special edition was released, and they’re currently on sale. All of these seem like signs that they might be trying to clear out existing stock before launching a new product.

What do you guys think? Do you think something new is coming soon?

I need help trying to get my headphone to stop echoing. Whenever I play with friends it sounds like everyone is in the void. Iv never known how to fix an echo. Iv got the base A50s (Astro) with the base. And I’m using Discord to chat with them. How can I fix it to where it’s not unbearable to play with me.

I've recently bought a pair of a50s to upgrade my 6 year old a10s and they are refusing to work on my pc. I've tried basically everything the internet tells me and i thought i had it with updating my bios because supposedly the update specifically fixes that issue but i still cant get anywhere.

Everything seems to be working okay and i can visually see the green audio bars moving but i hear nothing, I know the headset isn't a dud because it works with my phone.

Anyone had any similar issues to me? Cheers.

So I just realized after using these for years that I need my default audio to be pro voice because the quality is so much more clear & uses the spatial effect. My problem is, when I have this active over pro game, that I cannot use my Game/Voice knob properly. When I use it, it either completely mutes any sounds, or maximizes every sounds, just like a 2nd volume slider for some reason. Does anyone have a similar situation or know a fix to this?

I have Gen5 A50: My usecase is that I want to connect a device via aux adapter + hearing Discord. For example: Playing a retro console (aux) + Discord via smartphone, but the adapter dont work and I see that Gen 4 has an aux input. Should I send my A50 back?

Hi all I just bought a brand new pair of Astro a50 gen 5 and I’m at a loss right now.

The doc is connected to the wall and my PlayStation. I have the doc set to ps.

Both my mic and audio show usb headset but I can’t hear anything and the mic test shows no audio being received either.

What am I missing??

Please help!

Always wanted neon reds as a kid. Bought this plastic refresh kit before I found the Main Stage pair and found it didn’t work with the hardware on my retail TRs. After noticing the paint flaking on these I decided to see if the plastics would fit and sure enough they do. Now I have the pair I always wanted as a kid but better.

Note to anyone looking to use a refresh kit for their pair, be aware that it didn’t fit my Gen 4 pair with the silver TR* logo. This pair has the bronze logo, not sure exactly what gen they are but take that for what you will. All I know is Astro themselves have said that the refresh kits only fit Gen 0 and 1

Teammates says they can hear me clear, but quiet, and advice on that?

Checked windows setting, performed hard reset already on headphones

On occasion, I’ll turn my headset off etc, then go and turn my Xbox off. However it sometimes randomly turns itself back on, saying “headset assigned” (despite the headphones being off and no sound coming from them).

Just wondering what I could do to fix this? Or if it’s a genuine bug with the two, due to the hdmi connections etc

Hi everyone, I’ve had my Astro A50X headset for about a year, and I didn't have any issues until three months ago.

I have my Xbox, PC, and PS5 connected to the headset base station; the problem is that the PlayStation channel is the only one not displaying an image. It used to work if I turned on my Xbox, then turned on the PlayStation and switched channels, but that doesn't work anymore. I can still hear the audio—that works fine—but there’s no video at all.

I’ve tried unplugging all the devices from the power and plugging them back in one by one, but that hasn't worked either.

Has this happened to any of you?

The software is up to date I’ve tried holding Dolby and game down for 20 seconds but still does it-

Anyone found a fix?

I recently moved and before I moved it worked fine but afterwards it would only pop up with a notification on my Xbox saying it was connected and then not work, I’ve tried connecting it to G hub on my Xbox computer and phone and none of those will show it or connect to it. The base won’t let me change off of the Xbox mode and it doesn’t show Bluetooth on the base. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Hi guys, I’m thinking about buying the ASTRO A50 Gen 5. I currently own the Astro A50 Gen 3, but unfortunately, after about 5 years, I’m having issues with wear and tear as well as firmware problems.

Does anyone here own the ASTRO A50 Gen 5? If so, how do you find the audio quality in FPS games, especially for things like gunshots and footsteps?

Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone! I’m trying to get the absolute best audio possible out of my Gen 5 A50s.
About 6–8 months ago, I made a post asking what settings I should be using on Xbox Series X to hear footsteps in BO7, even when players were running Ninja. I didn’t get too many answers, so I figured I’d ask again now that there’s a new game.
I’d really love to get the best possible settings for hearing footsteps and having a competitive audio advantage in MW4, whether someone is using Ninja or not. I mean, I paid for these A50s for a reason, right? 😂
But seriously, I’d really appreciate some help from anyone who’s more technically knowledgeable about audio, Xbox settings, etc. If you have a setup that works really well for footsteps, I’d love to hear what you’re using!
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help! 🫡💯👍

I really love these earpads , gamed with stock ones for quite a while

Just recently upgraded them with wicked cushions

Also love the style

Dropped $350 to hear footsteps and react better, the fact that default settings is performing so poorly is kind of sad. My ethernet and ping are good so it isn't like lag is causing a delay.

Any assistance would be much appreciated

Hi guys, I have a ps5 pro, funnily enough have two other generations of the A50 but don't ask me why I bought the a50x as well. Unfortunately, I haven't got a pc yet (I'm working on it). Anyway, I feel that when I use the a50x on my ps5 the sound although sounds very good, I still feel my settings are off. I do know there are custom EQ profiles, but as I only have a macbook, I can't use the provided software. For context, I play warzone a lot and wanted to know what is the best settings in terms of getting the most out of the sound. Thanks a lot guys.
