Logitech bought them out a few years ago and from what I've heard this is on par for Logitech to do. They'll buy out a company and slowly over time just phase out their core components essentially killing the brand. Look at the new A50 X that released, you can barely find any Astro branding on it an

I recommend Maxwell 1 over 2, because 1 simply sounds better and has wider frequency range. The new SLAM tech on the Maxwell 2 (down to 30hz) makes it lose bass compared to Maxwell 1 (down to 10hz). PS: The 10hz ~ 50khz on the Maxwell 2 is false advertisement. I absolutely can not recommend the A50/

I am seriously starting to think Logitech is killing the Astro brand. Maybe they had contractual obligations that required them to produce what was on the drawing board at the time of acquisition? That sentence had a bunch of fancy words in it that I barely understand I hope what I’m saying makes se

I'm so tired of this dance. I did that 3 times before with the A50. Also, returning to Amazon is an exhaustable resource. Moreso the higher in value the item is. I don't want to get put on Amazon's naughty list just because Logitech makes a shit product.

Still no issues? Few months back I tried 1x A50X and 2x A50 Gen 5, all of them had the white noise so I just gave up and bough Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED. So if there is new revision that fixed the issue I will try again. A50 are the perfect headset for me but that white noise is dealbreaker....

I would not recommend this headset!!! First pair I bought the left ear sound went completely out in 2 days. Second pair that was sent the sound cuts in and out and a lot of muffled sounds. They are very comfortable and great features but what good is that if they don’t work. The price you pay for th

All i can say is that i tested the A50 5. Gen for 3 weeks because my Maxwell was in repair, and the clamp force was too much for me. The Maxwell is much more comfortable in my personal case. I always developed ear pain with the new Astro, after longer sessions but never mit the Maxwell. Also, the bu

Return it if you can, buy a used 2nd generation A50 and use firmware version 5037, any astro firmware or headset produced after this is a disgrace. My gen 2 has lasted over a decade and still works perfectly. Don't listen to any Astro or Logitech mod because they will gaslight you into thinking it's

Odd as my A50X had the splitter but both USB-C vs A. Guessing Logitech has finally cut over to USB-C but inventory stock likely still has the USB-A cables out there. I voltage tested the output of the USB-C on my PS5 and it slightly came up short compared to the supplied power adapter. Never tried i
