Astro A50 over 1 year later - An honest review (it's the best but also not)

Описание: This video was not sponsored by Logitech, but they did send me a replacement for my Astro A50. That said, this, as you'll see, is still an honest and maybe brutal review.

#Astro #AstroA50 #BestGamingHeadsets

My first Astro A50 Gen 4 was acquired in August 2019 and at the time I thought it was awesome (See the review here -    • Astro A50 Gen 4 (2019) review - an awesome...  ) since then I've used a heck of a lot of other headsets, but the A50 gen 4 has remained my favourite for a number of reasons:

1 - Its comfort is unbeaten in my opinion
2 - The charging base station is super convenient and I very rarely need to plug it in
3 - The sound is great for gaming, music, movies or anything else
4 - It has a decent mic (not the best, but not awful either)
5 - It allows me to mic monitor my external mic setup via my GoXLR (very few wireless headsets allow this)

That's the highlights, the lowlights are:
It doesn't have Bluetooth like the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless
It doesn't have user replaceable batteries (unless you can solder)
The headband gets worn out over time
The design is quite flimsy considering what you're paying
There's no high res audio (like with the Audeze Mobius)
