MMGN: The Astro A-series has long been the headset of choice for console gamers. With a renowned wired (A40) and Wireless (A50) variant, the Astro range was top of the line for PS3 and Xbox 360 fans when we first looked at it in 2012, and remains that way two years later with a refresh as "gen 2" for the PS4 and Xbox One.

The Astro A50 is a premium pair of headphones that are a perfect fit for gaming - which is good, as they can’t do much else.
COGconnected: Astro A50's have consistently been considered one of the best headsets in the gaming audio market. Astro recently released generation 4 of the A50 and once again these cans deliver a superb audio experience.
I've been using A40s for about 8 years. I really don't recommend them. There are better options that cost less. You're paying a hefty "gamer tax" with Astro.
