As you can see from the specifications, the A50 is very well equipped with high-quality drivers, high-end wireless tech and a whole lot more. That’s not to say I can’t use it on the PC, but the re-branding of the A50 in this case means that it comes with a lovely black and green design to match the Xbox One official colours, an Xbox One controller connection adaptor and it’s certified to work with the console. The Astro range covers all major formats, but their latest effort is designed specifically to work with the Xbox One. And when you’re done it fits perfectly on its own headset stand.” We’ve designed this headset to be lightweight and adjust easily to your cranium to ensure maximum comfort for those games that last long into the night. The uni-directional microphone delivers communication to your teammates by isolating your voice from any background noise in the room. Broadcasting with cutting edge wireless Kleernet 5.8ghz technology, the A50 employs three varied EQ modes designed to fit your audio needs. “Just as consoles evolve, so do our headsets, so we’ve fine-tuned and updated our A50 to make the best available headset in wireless gaming to your Xbox One.

So, will we see a repeat performance today? And will Astros’ own reputation be tough to live up to? Of course, this kind of quality comes with a price and while Astro aren’t known for being budget-friendly, the phrase “you get what you pay for” has certainly rung true in past reviews. We’ve reviewed several Astro headsets over the years and they’ve always been premium quality products, with legendary performance and a great design. Their gaming headsets are quite simply some of the best around and have even given pro-audio and audiophile grade headsets a run for their money too. Astro is by far one of my all time favourite gaming brands.
