If this helps, my top 3 headsets are, in no particular order (rankings below), the Astro A50’s, the Audeze Maxwell and the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Elite - with the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless right behind ‘em. Here are my breakdowns, as someone that owns all of them (well, minus the Nova Pro Wi

That’s why I chose the Logitech G Astro A50 X over all the other options. Still hands down the best mix of comfort, sound, mic, and features.

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

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.

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.

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

The A50 sidetone is detectable, I can tell when I mute and unmute the microphone, but I wouldn’t call it loud or amplified. The headphones already have almost no sound isolation so you can clearly hear everything around you even without sidetone. With sidetone on full it just sounds more clear and v

Aqui no Brasil, 99% dos usados estão sempre com problemas de conectividade, chiados ou outros que afetam a experiencia sonora ou do microfone. O pior é que os valores são quase 2/3 do valor de um novo. Por exemplo, um A50 gen 4 está na faixa dos 1300, o novo na vaixa dos 1800. O A50 Gen 5 em promoçã

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
