  • Hard to find a more comfortable headset
Platform For Display: PlayStation 4 + PC Edition: Headset
The A50 is not cheap... it does not have the best audio, or the best mic, but that is not what you are buying. You are buying a surround sound, wireless headset that provides "good" audio and "decent" mic qualities with decent battery life. This is the second A50 in our household, My wife uses this one, and I use an older generation HALO version. For this new generation they have basically doubled the battery life as well as having it auto off when placed down, meaning battery life is no longer a issue as long as your willing to charge it every other day or so. They charge decently quick, and you can always plug in to continue playing if need be. For the new generation the base now has a light indicator telling you your current battery life, so no need on guessing rather you have 20% or 90% battery life. With two ways of charging; the magnetic base stand which works well, or the old plug in USB style there really is no excuse not to charge it when you are not using it. So why buy it? Well... it is honestly the most comfortable headset I have ever used. I have owned over the last +/-20 years of gaming; Razer, TurtleBeach, Creative, Corsair, Logitek, Icemat Audio (now known as Siberia/Steelseries) and many others... The only headset that came close was the Icemat Audio in comfort, many of these other headsets were somewhat comfortable but after a few hours started bothering me, not so with the A50. This is why we went this direction for my wife, as her last Logitek was one of the most uncomfortable headsets we have owned, maybe only second to her Razer Banshee headset in the feeling of having your head in a vice. I can see people with narrow heads potentially having problems as their is not much "clamping force" but anyone with a average to above average size head should have no issues with comfort, the ear cups are pretty standard size, not small or large. It is also very breathable, I have never had "sweat" from wearing these, that I have had with say leather/vinyl cups. I wear a 7 1/4 to 7 1/2 hat and my wife wears a 6.5 and its just as comfortable to both us of, she also wears glasses and finds they accommodate glasses well. So again, why buy this headset? Because for myself at my age, I do not need the best audio... the best mic, the longest battery... what I do need is a super comfortable, wireless, surround sound headset, that does everything I need while performing well. This headset delivers. You can have the best audio in the world but if it means that in a hour my ears are hurting or I am uncomfortable, then what is the point? PRO: - Amazing comfort (I would dare say the best in the "Gaming" category) - A jack of all trades headset - Base stand has came a long ways and the new style is very nice - Two ways to charge (magnetic base or by USB) NEG: - Cost - Its not for audiophiles. If you are a audiophile you will be unhappy with the sound, go back and buy your "stereo" headset. - Software, I place it here because while its amazing, I am not sure the average user can utilize it to its fullest. - Sound bleed... Loud volume does indeed bleed out, they sell a kit to silence it, but yea a consideration for some. - I have always thought the need for the mic to be basically vertical to be in the "off" mode is silly and takes a while to get used to flipping it all the way up for it to be off... Overall the A50 has just gotten better over the years and while the audio quality may no longer be the best in the segment anymore, it still delivers dam good audio, and ill sacrifice having the best audio by a few points for comfort. I will put it this way; my older A50 suffers from the volume wheel adjustment problem(they have re-designed this now so no longer a issue), and even then I have continued to use it because its that good, that instead of buying a different brand I have stuck with them because they are that good, and its a minor annoyance compared to my enjoyment of the headset. Happy Shopping. ... show more

  • and even tried the Polk striker (as recommended by a friend)
Platform For Display: PlayStation 4 + PC Edition: Headset
Originally purchased one and it did not arrive, so had to buy another one after Amazon refunded for the original lost one. I had been wanting to purchase one of these for a long time. I am a big headset guy and have tried almost every one. I have had steel series P800, turtle beaches, and hyperX Revolver, PS Gold, and even tried the Polk striker (as recommended by a friend). I will say this the best headset I have ever had. Yes, they are very pricey but they are like driving a new Cadillac. The negative reviews I have seen have been mostly by people who cant afford or won't pay 300 plus for a headset. That is a legitimate argument. That is a lot of money for people on a budget. You would be stupid to just buy something just because it's expensive. That should not shape your review, though. The question is..Is it worth it? I would say what level of gaming are you into? If your'e a huge gamer, than yes, they are absolutely worth it. Pros: Superior Comfort. These at first felt like they were going be loose on my ears but they adjusted well and sometimes, I forget these are a headset..like soft cotton bunnies on your ears. Sound quality. These have a great depth sound. I would say the bass is probably the most prevalent outstanding aspect of the sound. Directional sound is great also. Battery Life: Good battery. Have not had any issue with battery lasting or charging issues Easy Setup. This is a simple setup. Love the charging unit being using a a wireless detector. Very simple but ingenious idea. Cons: Mic? I might say the mic is not the greatest ever made but it's pretty darn good. Voice is crisp, clear with no cracking and the auto mute when you put mic up is a nice feature. Price: This may be the only actual con. These are pricey and for only being able to use them on my PS4, that's a real issue and concern. Now, if you will be using these a lot, the price can be explained and I use mine all the time. ... show more

  • Almost a perfect wireless headset
Platform For Display: PlayStation 4 + PC Edition: Headset
Almost the perfect wireless head set it just needs to work on a few more things one big one is it’s frequent corruption/static glitch I would almost go as far as to call it that depending on what’s going on atleast when being used on pc even with it being set as the default audio playback and recording device every now and again when I switch maybe from watching a YouTube video audio sounds good things are normal to any other website or source with volume like a game for example and randomly it will just sound garbage and I essentially have to just unplug it from the usb slot put it back in listen for the pop and for some reason that fixes the audio issue it’s odd cause using it on my ps4 seems to have none of those issues like ever so maybe it’s just something going on with my audio settings, sometimes the headset will just crash all together I’ve run into this when putting it on the charge stand and it either wasn’t fully connected or I took it off and on the stand too frequently and the headset wouldn’t turn off so had to hard reset the headset with the holding down the dolby surround sound button and the game volume voice volume button trick, speaking of the charge stand that thing is a finicky demon for some reason it worked great out of the box just plop it on and it will charge now a few weeks in and It just has a hard time catching it in the right way to get the orange light to show up and indicate it’s taking the charge other than the 3 things stated above the head set sounds great it’s loud and the mic picks up audio well though I wish like the a40 you could put some boost via the audio settings and not just the Astro command center boost but that’s why people go for the a40 for that mixer amp etc all and all it does what you pay for but not perfectly it has a few bugs some that you may not want to deal with or pay for especially for that price tag. ... show more
