![Monitor Buying Guide - What You NEED to Know! [2024]](/img/n.gif)
Awesome review, I need a headset that switches between consoles flawlessly, and the fact that it switches your HDMI input for you with a switch of a button is icing on top, thank you for the detailed review!
Nice gaming headset! 👍🏾 Definitely picking these up for my birthday next month.
i've been working on the raod ever since u hit a 100k , now u at 630k, congrats big dog, been here since 50k keep up the great work , love ur videos and work ethic's.
Thanks for uploading this! Was considering this headset but now I’m definitely buying!
Definitely picking up a set of these. Really dope that it essentially gives you an additional HDMI 2.1 port, albeit 40Gbps as opposed to 48Gbps but still very nice. It gets annoying having to switch between headsets for my PS5 and PC. Gonna use this for the switch as well.
I double checked to see if he misspoke on the HDMI bandwidth and they are 40 Gbps per the Logitech website instead of the full 48 Gbps. However, that shouldn't impact gaming on PS5/Xbox Series.
You do realise that 48GBPS is required for 8K60/HDR/Dolby Vision? No console is hitting 8K and if it did it would be dynamically! Not to mention that 48GBPS is also only niche and needed for 12-BIT colour range at 4K60/120… no TV at any consumer level goes above 10-BIT..
for full DV coverage or 8K60 is what you’d need a 48GBPS lane for! Until then? It’s just numbers that make you feel superior when in fact no one right now needs 48GBPS!
P.S I have a 48GBPS OLED C3 and also a C1, both my series X and V run on the C1 and the C3 EXACTLY the same! Not a single pixel changes proving that 48GBPS IS NOT NEEDED!.
Finally! I've been waiting for your video on this headset. I'm about to pull the trigger on the monitor you have. I always use your reviews before purchasing anything. Thanks for helping my wallet man
What about pulling the trigger on the headset which is the main point of the video? :)
This is as usual, an excellent review. I just got a pair of these nice gaming headsets for review too and I'm excited to try all the things. I have to say though, since I don't have aall my consoles on one desk with my PC, this isn't the greatest connection option but whatever.
Thanks for this clear and good video review. I might pick it up. 👍
definitely buying this next year for my pc/ps5 setup
I was curious about the astro a50x, i currently have the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro headset. Which are amazing,! But honestly watching this now make me what these instead. Great video 😁
Might have to pick these up 🤔 working across everything is kind of a must now
Still loving my A50's after four years of use.
Brilliant headset. I really liked mine.
I'm super surprised you never ran into buggy charging issues on your headset. Not to mention the top cushion on the headband falling out.
when i first bought my a50s in 2021 the top piece fell right out and it kept happening, sent an email to astro and they sent a whole new headset for free since i was under warranty. now the ones i have still work great and i got the other ones as back up@@Turtle-.-
The thing that I love about my A40's is that I can listen to my pc and ps5 audio at the same time, so if that's possible with this then I'll be picking these up real soon
That's what I'm concerned about, but from the looks of it it only does one at a time hope, I'm wrong.
In the video he mentions that you can game and listen to your phone audio at the same time. This has been a major issue for me as i use PS app to talk to my friends and game on my PC. I have to rely on a 3rd party bluetooth connection that doesnt always work. This will be a nice upgrade.
you can, even if it doesn't work both with the hdmi, you can always connect your pc with bluetooth and still game on your ps5 at the same time
This is a huge selling point for me when buying a headset. Sad that this isn't something that's prioritized in most new gaming headsets. There's no aux port on the base station so I assume the only way for simultaneous audio would be to connect through bluetooth. I've tried this with a different headset and it killed the battery pretty fast with bluetooth on so I dont think id go this route personally.
I have been using Nova Pro as well after buying PS5 and found out there is no Astro headset for the PS5 at that moment.
Because back on PS4, I was using Astro A50 as well and really enjoy using it. Can't wait for the release and will buy it for sure.
Thanks for the review
Mine come in this upcoming Tuesday, can’t wait
Fantastic video Chris! If you dont mind? can you please share your audio settings from Modern Warfare 3 with what EQ you use on the headset? Thanks for the vid.
Great video! Definitely going to consider this.
I absolutely love the ASTRO'S ever s8nce they have come out. It has always been worth every penny. Beautifully done video man. Stay awesome!
My normal Astro a50 turn on but don’t work or have sound when connected so idk if I’ll buy this
@SpawnPoiint Did you notice any type of Input Lag or Delay while using 2 Separate HDMI 2.1 cables on 1 Console cause i remember there being some issues with that with the HDMI Adapter that you talked about in this video so im interested to know if there was any Input Lag or Delay especially while playing Competitive online games like Call Of Duty?
Finally ! 🙌🏻 nice review as alwaysss
Thanks mate.
I have the Sony Pulse 3D, but may upgrade to these. Thanks for the video.
Legend! I recently just picked up the Logitech PRO X2 for my ps5
The PRO X2s are nice!
You just sold me on buying a pair whenever they’re back in stock!
I didn't know Logitech bought Astro. Interesting
You put me onto the Steel Series ps5 headset and I’ve been so happy with those but now it might be time to upgrade 😂 these is a real nice gaming headset, now I just gotta justify the jump haha
Damn, what a throwback those IG clips were 😅 still can’t get over how good that mic is for a wireless headset. When we hopped into that party I was legitimately blown away immediately. Wireless mics usually sound complete ass. Awesome to hear you’re enjoying the headset though, cannot wait to get mine!
Yes mate, was good to get your first impressions when we chatted. Hyped to see what they look like in your setup too 💪
Better Mic then Corsair HS80 Max? This has the MVP Mic in a Wireless Headset and is muuuch cheaper.
How come every video I see, the mics on headsets sound bad, but whenever I look at the comments, people praise it, for example, my friend has a steelseries and it sounds good, but online videos make it sound so trash
Awesome review man and I like your color taste all black damn that’s cool i need to buy it and imagine having a black out headset that will be awesome.
nice gaming headset, i was hoping you to review them i will definitely buy them
I've been using the A50 for a while now and i can't wait to put my hands on the A50x...
Very clean setup man salute 🫡💯
I like the fact you can charge it while it’s in the dock. That’s my main issue is remembering to charge my Turtle Beach Stealth’s
Nice gaming headset I already have the Old A50 I use on my PS5 and I was wondering if it was worth upgrading and you definitely answered those questions I will be picking these up .
Thanks for watching
No noise cancelling for $380 is crazy. I'll pick them up and give them a try before returning them but i doubt Ill get over that ridiculous price.
Honestly, I have so much going on around me while I'm gaming so the non noise cancellation for me works. Plus the volumes and the comfort are just so superb.
Noise cancellation on headsets are booty tho, open backs for the dub
bro they dont even bother including the hdmi cable that you need to have to run em
There are codes to get it for $340!!!
They are open back headphones..? Adding noise cancellation too open back headphones what?
Why would you need noise cancellation in a room by yourself? which majority of gamers are in. Noise cancellation also gets rid of certain sounds that you wouldn't be able to hear because of it. Also, I'd like to hear myself speak in a room so i'm not insanely loud...
I didn't know these existed. I need those features and I am totally buying them I think.
IVE BEEN WAITING for you to come out with a video about these 😭finally 🤣 🎧
QUESTION! How would I go about switching from PC to console if my console is in the living room and PC at my desk? Can’t imagine using the docking station for 2 separate rooms?
Very good headset but I'm upset that they've got rid of the AUX port as it was a good way to connect with other audio interfaces. I'm sure it'll still be possible to connect to them through the use of some adapters. Looks like a good headset overall though! Thanks for reviewing these!
Do you know what adapter could be used? I also miss the aux cable
@@ttvWideShoes USB-C to aux may do the trick. I need to get my hands on a pair and do some tests
That’s sooooo amazing I’m excited to buy this I’ve wanted a headset that has Bluetooth plus the ability to connect to both that’s so awesome
Just know the Bluetooth connection is to the base station not directly to the headset so if you were thinking of taking the headset out with you to use with your phone away from the base station you're out of luck.
I really like the base station switching capability. But the hot swappable batteries in my nova pro wireless is a feature I’m not willing to lose. Would definitely sacrifice a bit our sound quality for that.
Totally get that, but when do you need more than 24 hours of battery in one go? As soon as you've finished they will sit charging anyway.
Unless someone is going for some kind of record why would anyone need more than 24 hours of battery?@@SpawnPoiint
It’s much easier to charge the Astro A50x while gaming than it is for the Nova Pro
Plus the game / party chat buttons on the Astro’s are >
I also have the nova pros too and i have never ever needed to swap the battery which was one of the main reasons i bought them. O well sick headset tho
@SpawnPoiint how do they compare to the nova pro wireless in terms of sound quality mate? I'm just interested in getting the best sound quality possible for gaming. Would be awesome if you could do a video comparing headsets in terms of sound quality. Thanks for the awesome content bro
Amazing Review thank you for all the information but i just have a simple question i have a double monitor set up and sometimes i play on my ps5 while also chatting with my friends on discord on the pc is that possible with this headset?
Why am I just hearing about this after upgrading one of my monitors 🥴 these look 🔥🔥 gotta get them
Nice gaming headset! Really good review !
Hey dude , love your content if you don’t mind me asking you one question , since you are the only guy i trust when it comes to headphones.
Regarding the astro a50x , do recommend the Bluetooth for mobile gaming like pubg mobile, or do u recommend another headphone
great video! how long does it take to fully charge?
Nice gaming headset! (I wonder if the sound could come from the tv and headset at the same time or did it mute the tv when you on the headset?)
Now all we need is a comparison with the Audeze Maxwells. Please
Great review. Am I correct in thinking the HDMI passthrough would allow Elgato capture device to record audio that way? Headset looks perfect for me.
Did you ever find out? I know the previous a50 could with the hdmi adapter for the ps5.
@@ElonzoGames Never found out unfortunately
These look great, one point you mentioned is 120hz pass through - is there anyway to push them to 240hz for PC FPS games on a gaming monitor?
I figure these are better since you don't have to use Atmos to emulate Surround sound anymore. Since its HDMI Passthrough for Audio it's almost like using the optical cable on the old school Astro's your actually getting Dolby 7.1 if you choose.
Oooooohhhhh nice headset...... and now its a must have 🎉. Loved my a40s ps4 they just didn't transfer to the ps5 very well
Nice gaming headset. Looks clean 👌. Good content SpawnPoiint 👍
Thank you dude!
Nova Pro wireless. These are pretty darn fantastic. Also what monitor are you using? Nice colors.
Nice gaming headset, ima cop that for Christmas
THIS! THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! Unfortunately I got the Turtle beach stealth pros, do you think this is more better? Cuz I love how you can plug multiple devices at once and not having to reconnect to your devices, but I started to like the battery swapping thing on the stealth pros. Overall do you think the A50’s are more worth it?
Nice I'll have to check these out. I bought the Alienware 920H headset and its ok but I feel like the audio leaves much to be desired. This looks spot on
but does the base station connectivity still suck? takes forever of me wiggling around my current ones for them to stay charging and then an hour later i will hear the beep sound of them disconnecting / connecting until i wiggle them again…
please say they added little magnets so they actually have a solid connection
Nice Gaming Headset. I'm thinking this is the headphone I wanna upgrade to I currently have SteelSeries Arctic 7P wireless
Could you just plug the power cable and the usb c from ps5 and connect the hdmi from ps5 to tv directly? Or does the base station NEED the hdmi?
Brilliant vid! Was exactly what I needed. I love astro and I am normally the sort of guy to go all in when it comes to headsets. I am so torn between these and the new Pulse Elites though. Considering I no longer game on PC or xbox I don’t need the switching. These won’t work on the PS Portal either, will they?
They won't work on the Portal no. I'm really interested in seeing what the Pulse Elites are like, and will grab a pair to review. The fact they will work on the Portal and more is great. The earbuds were impressive so I have high hopes for them.
@@SpawnPoiint Excellent, I will look forward to watching that one!
How do these stack up to the audeze Maxwell's in terms of sound quality, comfort and overall experience ?
Hey I like your desk a lot, what are the measurements for the desk. Love the videos!!
Do you recommend these over the Logitech - PRO X 2? I only play on PS5 so I’m wondering which would one be best or any other recommendation mainly for PS5?
Nice Gaming Headset! Cant wait to get mines, 🎉 Happy Holidays Everyone cheers 🍻
Love the videos
Thank you.
Thank you for this video and also can you compire between (( A50X - Steelseries Nova pro wireless))
And i wana ask you where can i buy the same table you have i love it ❤️👍🏻
I actually ordered these yesterday and was thinking that I might have made a mistake as I was replacing my near 4 year old Sony Pulse 3Ds and was looking for a minor step up. After watching your video I can definitely see I made a good decision!
Hey how are you? merty christmas 🎄,And i have a question would you have them as your main headset and are they your main headset?
OOOOHHHH I NEED TO FINALLY TELL MY WIFE WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!! 😂
haha this is the one
Male sure to tell here very first before Christmas you have 4 more days❤
No optical line.....way to screw a good thing up Astro
Go for it buddy. 👍
TBH if I was you I would gotten the Audeze Maxwell it has better Audio plus the battery life is 80 hours were the astro has 15 hours
Nice vid as always. Love all your content. Maybe one day you'll tryout some IEM'S. $50 will change your mind on headsets
Very good headset but i still use my old G933 because the usb dongle have a 3.5 mm jack that you can plug another audio source and they BOTH play at the same time on the headset, very useful when i want to play PS5 on one monitor and PC for youtube on another monitor
Ill wait for these to go on sale
Can someone jusf clarify if the sound is just through HDMI with this? Im used to having astros with the optical cable for sound. My monitor only has one hdmi port so is this gonna work?
Love ❤️ your channel! The footage referencing Gen 4 are actually Gen 3!?? Gen 3 & 4 work on PS5. Either get HDMI adapter or even easier connect optical cord directly to your TV. As long as your TV has an optical port you are good 👍 to go!!
Unfortunately the HDMI adapter isn’t HDMI 2.1 (so restricts the 4K 120hz my tv/monitor need). And as my monitor doesn’t have optical that won’t work either (and on my TV I use my AVR for sound, so it wouldn’t work on there either.
Can you use these on your Xbox and listen to music on ur pc at the same time?
Just got these as a christmas gift a few hours ago. Already loving them. Coming from Astro A40's for my Xbox, i was beyond glad to see the A50 X being able to connect to both Xbox and PS. Beyond comfortable and lightweight. Definitely worth the purchase.
Hi I ordered mine they done shipped I'm still waiting for mine how do they sound for PS5 do you like them happy holidays stay safe and happy gaming to all
Prolly the most stylish and beautiful looking headset
My gen 4 still work great on ps5 but will defo get these next best gaming headset even they are pricey but worth it great quality
I'm deciding between this or the Nova Pro wireless. Had the Astro A50 gen 4 but was defective. I'm worried on the count of that and whether this is worth the premium
I'd wait a year for price drop and to get the bugs out, that price is borderline insane with the issues it's predecessors had
yea but the garantee of logitech has been always top noch, i had problems with the gen 4 before and they changed them for a brand new ones without any cost
Nice gaming headset!
What is the monitor you use? Looks lovely!
Finally some bass ... thank goodness. Make games feel alive.
Im curious about these but.... the swappable batteries of the nova pro is also great. also, im sure they are gonna be sold out for a while.
Do you think these would be good for movie watching i.e. Apple TV connected to this to provided surround sound?
Have you tried the Audeze Maxwell? Expensive but just towers above everything else. 80 hrs battery life. And besides gaming I use it A LOT listening to music. It’s literally a high end premium headset.
stop it... built quality is below average, 3 audeze products, 3 same problems with crinkling foil sound in one earcup after using them 2-3 months when moving them. These products are too over-advertised by youtubers
Great review as always...
I do notice how you didn't mention anything about the side Game/ chat buttons though
Perhaps thats because they didn't work? As that's what I've found with my PS5
No they 100% work for me. It doesn't show on screen, but it works (as shown on the app as you press the headset too).
Thank you for the review I had the same old headset you have I will be replacing them with that. I need them for rainbow six siege how are they with the sound quality
Do you recommend them for streaming? I have an elgato hd60x and I use the line out port of the nova pro game dac to capture my audio in OBS.
I use The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX and works with PS5, Xbox Series and PC, and works perfectly for me.
Nice gaming headset👍
Keep up the good content
I have A40s and the older A50s. Before it couldn't connect to both my PS4 and XB1. so this is nice
Hello !!! I just have one question, what settings do u suggest changing on the ps5. PLS let me know ❤
hi, great video. Here is the summary of the question: I would like to order the Astro A50 X in white version for use on PS5 only. I would like to use this model without the HDMI relay because I want to avoid any form of latency. Is it possible to operate by usb without HDMI? If so, what are the changes to cable and HDMI usage? Is it only the mixed cat?
Quick question but I’ve seen numerous complaints regarding the A50X not working properly with some displays. I know certain LG panels are having issues and I know you use the LG 27” OLED so did you not have any issues? Or are you using a different setup?
Hey there, nice informative video man! Just one question, if I don’t want to connect them via HDMI cable can I use just the USB-C between my PS5 and base station and then can use it wirelessly?
Cheers
And keep up the good work!
Hey, found an answer for this ?
Got an answer to this yet?
Great video as always. Forgive me but why does it need to connect to the TV/monitor via HDMI? or is that optional.
The base station essentially acts as a passthrough hub. So if you have a Playstation and Xbox, you connect them both to the hub, and then the cable from the hub then has to go to the tv, otherwise there is no connection from your consoles or PC to the tv/monitor. The audio is synced with the device you are toggled on via the hub.
I've always used Turtle Beach with my PlayStation's my current 700 max have 40 hours battery life and are super comfortable you sound quality is great I really can't complain about them
Will they function with bluetooth with the docking station not present? Wondering, because it would be nice to be able to use them at the office.
Been using the a50s on my ps4 and ps5 time for a new one
Can i hear my pc and ps5 together that's what i like about the a50gen 4 hdmi to ps5 and aux to pc thats what i use and have a different mic for my pc since im using aux ?
Pls answer
