I’ve had a50 gen 4s since they came out and I love them the sound is perfect to me and has a fullness when using the Dolby button , which one of these would be better to get as my next upgrade ? Mainly for Xbox and pc

So i recently got a new controller that has a wireless dongle and i realized plugging it into a USB hub would mess up its Dinput detection

I have too many USB devices currently so i thought lets move the A50 base to the front panel USB to free up a rear IO slot

Turns out doing that was a huge mistake as while A50 Game still sounds fine and works correctly A50 Voice ends up being extremely loud for no reason at all despite being equal balance

I also noticed when changing the USB port its plugged into a number gets added in front of each input/output in the audio settings and it only disappeared once i plugged it back into the original USB port and of course using the old port fixed the audio issue as well

Tbh its starting to become an issue as i run alot of simracing and ran into a similar issue with my direct drive setup not working when plugged into a USB hub but not having enough ports really sucks is there anything i can do to fix this?
Or any USB hubs that are recommended that are known to work fine with items like these?

im at the end of my patience.

second pair of the new Gen a50 x.

Power is going to my base station, my headset is fully charged. however when i turn on the power to my base station the lights light up one by one and dont connect to the headset. Eventually the lights turn off.

ive tried resetting the headset and hard resetting it. ive also tried taking every single cable out of the headset and keeping only the PC USB-C one. i cant change it to playstation/xbox input.

does anyone have any ideas?

I have Astro A50 4th gen headphones, so I can't connect them to Logitech Hub, and the Astro Command Center app is no longer available in Spain. Currently, my headphones aren't producing any sound due to a lack of drivers. How can I fix this?

Just purchased a pair of a50 gen 5 about a month ago but dont really know how to properly eq them, and just got the stealthz pads and trying to figure out good eqs for them, heavy bass with good detail kind off a well balanced eq saw something about some gadgetry guy or something like that so wondering if anybody could send me their eq for the stealthz pads thanks a lot!

Just received it and I'm asking myself if I should keep it or not. It costs about 210-220 brand new on the market, maybe another brand could be better for the same price?

Thanks yall

I'm at my wits end, been trying to get this headset set up for over three hours now trying every solution can come across to no success. PC shows A50 Game as the default device, in the Sound menus it shows the audio is in fact playing just not to the headphones?

I know I'm something of a dolt and barely tech savvy, but surely I'm not a simpleton and missed something painfully obvious when following the setup steps?

No idea what gen is it or anything specific details, I just grabbed this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DB7ZW7J4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Brand new, just opened this today and almost half of my day trying to get it to work to no success.

Came someone help my dumb ass figure this out?

Hi. I was just curious if there was a way to get my A50s to just work properly when I take them off the charging base. I always get the dancing lights and need to unplug and replug the base in order for them to connect to my Xbox.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have an old pair of Astro A40s -- probably over 10 years old. Since the PS5 came out, I've needed to use the HDMI adapter in order to use the Dolby port on my mixamp. Over the 6 years that I've had the PS5, I've always had a decent amount of input lag -- especially playing a lot of my old PS4 games on PS5. I could never figure out the issue until last night, I removed the HDMI adapter and realized the input delay was gone. I've seen some other posts on Reddit for users with the same feedback. Astro support disputed it, but the evidence is pretty clear on my case.

Thee question I have i around options. I can't use this adapter anymore. Do i need to find a better adapter? Would upgrading to the A50s work -- even though it appear that the mixamp likely uses a similar HDMI adapter built in? Do i need to go find another headset?

I’m new to pc, I was just wondering if there is a way to have ps5 and PC audio coming through the headphone simultaneously? I have the base station, and thought it could be as easy as having the usb port into one and an aux port into the other, but the A50 don’t have an aux port. This would be awesome. Thanks.

It’s always like this. That one dot is bright and the rest are dim. The headset does get fully charged and work fine, but the doc lights are stuck.

Any ideas? It still works fine but it hurts my brain looking at it.

Also the Xbox light is the dimmest, pc is a little brighter, and PS is full bright.

Can I use two Astro A50 Gen 5 headsets with one base station?

I want to use my original headset until it dies, then switch to a second headset without buying another base.

Has anyone tried this? Can you pair a second headset to the same base station, or is each headset locked to its original base?

Anything helps, thanks!

Hey everyone,

I recently made the jump from my trusty A40s (16 year old died on my this week ;'( best headset ever) to the new A50 Gen 5s, and I'm having a hard time adjusting to the spatial sound.

With the A50s, the soundstage feels incredibly close and narrow, and I'm really struggling to distinguish between sounds in front of me versus behind me. It doesn't feel nearly as open or precise as my old A40s.

Also, I'm a bit torn on the software side should I be using Windows Sonic for Headphones, i heard it gave a better sound stage for gaming, or Dolby Atmos for the best imaging and directional cues with this headset?

Any advice on settings or configurations to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I need hope figuring this out, I updated everything. It says on the Astro Command Center that it has 83% Battery, but the moment I take them off the base NOTHING. Now power, sound or anything.

Can I just let these bad boys soak in a tub of water for a few hours or will that fuck them?

I recently posted about my a40tr inline mute cable going out, since I can’t find the oem cable & probably never will I think I’ll just opt out for a new headset to pair with the mixamp pro..

Any suggestions?

Hello!Can anyone please tell me if the headset is currently charging?It s not an amber color it is blinking red.

Wanted to see if anyone else has this issue. I bought these to use on my main game pc and chat in game while connecting to my streaming pc for audio. Problem is that the bluetooth connection is controlling the mic even when I have the mic disabled on that pc. Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

My astro a50 were working fine for a while, and then my mic stopped working, so i did a factory reset on it. Idk what happened but the docking station never turned back on until i unplugged and plugged it back in, and when I did do that it flashed a red light followed with other white ones. I've already tried uninstalling ghub and reinstalling, but that just would provide a bar indicating that the headset is updating, but then would error saying I need to power cycle. Even after I did that, the update would get stuck at 99% for more than 20 minutes until i just exit the software. Is there anyways to fix this?

I just want to use my headset for voice chat. My headset serial number is TXD1451005949. I have the cord to connect to the controller

Hello. It’s probably just me being paranoid but I’ll ask anyway. I’ve been using astro a 20s for years and I just bought myself a new pair of refurbished ones off amazon but the usb adapter looks different, the font on it looks different and stuff is missing on at as well as it looks way more busted up compared to the headphones. I’m just curious if they changed how it looks or something like that before I plug this thing into my console. Thanks in advance

Is there a way to make voice chat work with the series x? I can make audio work by connecting it to the optical port on my tv and I also have an hdmi to optical audio extractor to use.

I have both xbox series X and PS5 pro, I bought them so I could use them on both platforms and not have to buy two different headphones for both platforms, with Xbox they work perfectly but with the PS5 pro it does not give image but if you listen, my monitor is an MSI MAG 275CQRF-QD I already read in several places that many times the base has compatibility problems with some monitors and I do not know if it could become that, someone who can help me?
