Hardcore Gamer: "There are a number of manufactures that offer virtual 7.1 surround sound options, but few can compare themselves to what Astro Gaming has to offer. Astro Gaming is the king on top of a populated mountain and the A50s are their defining product. The A50 headsets are incredibly expensive, a luxury for any video game player, but the cost is not just for show. The quality of the headset is unmatched, creating the most enclosed surround sound experience you can find, while at the same time being comfortable and not too heavy. Considering that the Xbox One has (or rather had if you buy a newer controller) their own proprietary headset connection on the bottom of the controller, Astro Gaming has gone ahead and created an A50 model for the system that adjusts the color scheme and includes the needed adapter for chatting."

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.
