380 is such a steep price especially after all the issues with the last generation of astros. But we'll have to wait for the full reviews to come out and see if its worth it or not

$380 isn’t bad if it actually works out of the box. I mean look at the Nova Pro Wireless as an example. It’s $350 but almost requires the $30 Wicked Cushions just for people to tolerate its ANC bumps. I’d gladly pay the $380 if it works. However I need comparison reviews that justify its price over the Maxwell and other high end models.

It's worth it as it plays on all platforms and they claim better sound and stream quality mic. If they upgraded the microphone that would be great the asteo a50 microphone is like 4 out of 10.

The Astro A50 4th gen headphones sound great on the Xbox Series X if you have a digital audio converter box with two short length high quality 2.1 hdmi cables.

I just pre-ordered mine a few days ago, I know it's not going to sound as good as the Maxwell, But my Maxwell's been having popping and crackling happening pretty frequently. They were perfect when I first got them, But it's become annoying so I want to try the Astro's out, Plus I own multiple consoles and a pc, So having one headset that I can use on all platforms is great. Plus the headset was also a lot heavier than any other headset I've used so far, I would rather have something that doesn't cause pressure on my head after an hour of gaming. I've excited to try them out, I do agree that they are really expensive, I wish they were a bit cheaper.

I’d say $380 is fine if it can last 5-6 years. It works on all consoles so if you get another or swap you’re good, uses HDMI audio, and can run all 3 of your platforms at once. It’s very future proof and convenient. Not to mention Astro headsets work very well with EQs

What kinda 'meh's me is.. 380 bucks is, and i said it before, to much for what offers, it may is a multi platform headset, but I say the majority of people use one platform mostly. Also the station, why is it with the hdmi? And not a simple USB (I know it works with USB as well) or a dongle, I would love to test it. But I'll wait. Especially after the dropped quality over the years..

The HDMI is for the game/chat mix functionality to work on all platforms. PlayStation locked game/chat mixing to Sony headsets only, so this circumvents that issue by getting audio through both USB and HDMI. But I agree $380 is still way too much!

okay listen up, well i had alot of expensive headsets steel series to Astro a50 and a40 but my experience wasn't very surprising there's always something bad in the headset of you nitpick enough, so for me my A50 gen 3 made me crazy dew to it's connection on Xbox and ps it disconnect and stuff i couldn't handle it anymore so I sold it and just bought Xbox headset with dolby and the sound is premium imo I didn't felt im downgrading as and i promise myself to not pay for 300$ headset cz it's not worth it like at all, imagine buying console for 300$ but it's missing controller, it doesn't make sense so same with headsets. but now idk 380$ I don't know not sure, ONLY IF it's 100% working with no issue what so ever

Nah man. They are soooo easy to break, the mic is utter garbage, you need wic cushions to make it usable for most consumers, and the audio life in the head phones is trash too… I had novas pros, and they just broke in half in 3 months. My A50’s gen 3 are still lasting me 7 years. I only just needed to replace the ear cushion. They still sound pretty great.

@@gamersintech Dude… I’m careful with every equipment I had. They just snapped while on my head phone stand. I’ll give you that the sound clarity is slightly better than the old ass A50’s, but the pros have zero bass with is kinda pathetic. The dual blue tooth audio is useful too. If you are competent with sound adjustment with the EQ settings, a50s are better man when it comes to gaming especially with consoles. I’d do agree with you about the a50 X base station. If you’re a streamer, the new head set will be a nightmare to manage. Astro/Logic Tech marketing is getting better, but not as good as Steel Series. Still man… the novas pros do not live up to the hype. They disappoint me…
