About this deal

A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. If you want something super premium (like the A50 is supposed to be), check out options like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, which comes with tons of features and removable batteries you can charge in its base station, so you’ll never have to stop gaming to recharge.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. When you see the lights, your headphones are charged and ready to use, so press the Power button to turn them on.Immerse yourself in cinematic gaming with the headset’s Dolby audio feature; simply switch to surround sound via the Command Center and enjoy experiencing a life-like gaming experience.

technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.On top of the headset itself, you get the included wireless base station, micro USB cord for connecting it to your platform of choice, and an optical cable for playing on the PlayStation 4.

Pushed the DTS button on the side of the headphones and verified that it was off via the A50 charging base. Astro claims the A50 Wireless can maintain a steady connection up to 30 feet, which feels pretty accurate—I don’t drop connection to the base station even on the other side of my apartment behind a few closed doors. On PC, I only ever have to unplug it for a second to fix it, but on PlayStation 4 I run into issues much more frequently, and it isn’t always just charging—sometimes the headset doesn’t connect at all.To make sure your headphones are on, you can put them on the Dock and wait for the lights to appear that indicate that your headphones are charging. If you like that, then good luck to you, follow the stickied guide on this sub on how to use usb only for the headset. When you have an optical audio cable plugged into the base it uses the base EQ settings you are used to that you can control via Astro's software.

The Astro A40 TR and Astro A10 both definitely have their quirks, but they’re still pretty reasonable wired gaming headsets. This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. However, it also means if you’re prone to laying down as you play or watch movies or what have you, you might run into it going to sleep while you’re using it. The 2 arch ways holding the top of the headband in place expand very quickly, especially people with big heads. But from what results we can get by poking the headset every so often and checking the battery percentage: we’d estimate around 16 hours of playback time.Having easily replaceable parts is a great idea, but here that interchangeability makes using the Astro Gaming A50 Wireless worse. On the Black Ops Cold War "helpful hints" that flash along the bottom of the screen, it says that they recommend Dolby Atmos (I'm on a PC, by the way). Gaming headsets often try to offer a pretty wide soundstage, so even a stereo signal sounds accurate enough. The Dolby Audio feature brings a little more than just surround sound, and slightly changes the headset’s frequency response when turned on, further under-emphasizing high end sound.
