Ranked #25 in Gaming Headsets

126 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

The most heavily marketed headset in the category, and StreamTechReviews themselves say only buy it if you need its specific features. The dock-tethered design is a longevity gamble that the Maxwell 2 or Nova Pro Omni do not take.

Flagged as a product to avoid

5 of 12 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

StreamTechReviews say get it only if you specifically care about its feature set; the entire experience is tethered to a base station that is a single point of failure and a firmware dependency, and you pay flagship money for multi-console switching most buyers never use.

Audio Science Review's expert comparison finds the Audeze Maxwell equally very good with different strengths, so you are paying a large premium mostly for the HDMI dock and ecosystem; it is outclassed on sound-per-dollar by the Audeze Maxwell 2.
Flagged 10 September 2026
The most heavily marketed headset in the category, and the consistent loser of its own consensus comparisons against the Maxwell 2 and Nova Pro Omni. Paying flagship money for a product the field no longer ranks first is the definition of a trap.

This is probably the, you can watch me stab it here, the nicest, fanciest, most premium headset on the market. Uh, and this one unfortunately commands a premium price over the base edition because of its branding and unique looks. So, this one is very fancy and very premium.

The A50 X wins on HDMI audio quality and mic output. The Nova Pro is the better pick for PC-first gamers. The A50 X wins for TV console setups.

I actually quite like those. Some of the best features on the Astro A50s includes the adjustability of the headband. You have these fine ruler style adjustments that allow you to get a precise measurement for exactly how large the headphones are on your head, which just makes them very comfortable.

The A50 X doesn't actually have that much to customize, but it can be configured via Logitech's G Hub software or via its mobile app (Logitech G). The mobile app is handy for PS5 / Xbox users who aren't also connected to a PC. The software has just three screens: Headset EQ, microphone EQ, and routing.

Number one is both your PC and console connected to the same display or monitor. Number two, will you find it convenient? Let's say listening to something on PC one second, and with a switch of a button, you go to the audio source to a console, and also the audio and visual changes as well.

Verdict: The Astro A50 X isn't going to be for everyone, but if it wasn't for the practicality issues in a split setup (say with consoles in one room and a PC in another) or the Bluetooth being limited to the base station only it would be knocking on SteelSeries' door for the top spot.

Unless you really like the way either of these headsets sounds, whether that's how they render their sound stage during a cinematic cutscene or how they reproduce footsteps behind you, neither one stands out for pure listening experience alone.

However, the only downside I noticed was the headset's weight. While it feels sturdy, the weight could be a bit much for extended use, especially for those who like to game for hours on end. In terms of pros, the Logitech G Astro A50X excels in performance and versatility. So, a minute.
