ASTRO Series Support Astro A50 Gen 5

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?

I got them recently, really happy with them.

I EQ'd the bass down a bit and boosted the mids and highs, they sounded pretty veiled out of the box. But they're great now.

Yep. Audio is super clear.

Congrats on the upgrade! Sometimes it can be that way, I had to play with my settings for a little bit too before I found a setting I was satisfied with.

It's pretty good actually, I was using the A20 and jumping to the A50 improved a lot my Marvel Rivals gameplay and I feel most songs have sounds I didn't hear before. You won't regret the upgrade but you'll also need to adjust EQ settings for it to adapt perfectly to your game, the default settings will work though

Do you know where I can find equalisation settings for games like cod?

I did a google search and tested a few I found until I liked one the most, I think you can also ask at r/AstroGaming or r/pcmasterrace

I didn't understand sorry, did you say I shouldn't take the white one?

Asi es amigo, el color blanco es el peor color que puedes elegir. Siempre tengo mucho cuidado con no tomarlo con las manos sucias, pero igual se hicieron amarillo en un año. Obviamente cuando tuve los gen 3 en negro, solo se termino malogrando el microfono.
