Giving the A50X a test run. Debating between these and the Nova Pros.

Here’s my opinion as a console user… I just returned my A50 headset to Best Buy and swapped to the A50x. If there's any sound difference between the 2 due to the bit rate - it's very minor imo (but I have 58 year old ears with a lot of concert time on them). I just wanted the ability to have chatmix

It’s time… 🍊

Try A50X Gen 5 Stock Pads - Immersive, Best All Around EQ, or Best Sound for A50 Gen 5. These are presets on Logitech Hub. I prefer the stock pads immersive by gadgetry tech, they are all good choices tho.

Looking for an upgrade

Astro A50 X has a completely different sound than the older models before they got bought out by logitech. Its a decent headset but you need to use "Steel series sonar" to make it sound like the OG Astros.

My opinion on the Atro A50 X

I own both concurrently and can give you my 2c You’re mixing up a workflow change with an actual audio downgrade. Gen 4 didn’t give you “real” surround everywhere — it matrixed lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 over Toslink and virtualised it in the base station. Convenient, yes. Higher fidelity, no. It added

What’s the best wireless gaming headset you’ve used so far?

The newest Astro A50 X are amazing but quite a pretty penny. I've been wearing Astro's since 2008 with Halo, but honestly if you're trying to save some money the Astro A20 X (which is literally the newer Logitech G522 but with console support via the added dongle) is a really solid pick that I'm hap

Best ones ever!

The Astro A50 X (2024) is a superior, modern upgrade to the A50 Gen 4, featuring HDMI 2.1 pass-through for 4K/120Hz, simultaneous connectivity across Xbox, PS5, and PC, and improved, longer-lasting battery life. While both offer high-end audio and comfort, the A50 X is better for multi-console users
