Malgr cela, les nombreux avantages du Astro A50 X LIGHTSPEED compensent largement ce dfaut, en faisant un investissement prcieux pour tout amateur de jeu srieux

Nothing else than you would expect from Logitech.
When looking for a high-end gaming headset you’re looking for something comfortable, something made from quality materials that will last for a long time, something that sounds great, this headset has all of that in spades.

Great packaging and fantastic features. It’s really easy to set up, works great, has a good battery life and feels like a real high-quality item. Firstly the headset uses real steel and aluminium in its construction, it’s not another plastic product that will break after a few months. Very light on the head ( sometimes i forgot I have them on), and the memory foam earpads make it incredibly comfortable to wear, even for extended periods of time.

The sound is crystal, has an EQ and surround to tweak and play with settings. It seems less basey compared to my creative rage headset, but it adds further crispness to the quality of sound which definitely helps push it above the mentioned.

All in all I’m super happy with the product, Would recommend for gamers. Comfortable, durable, high quality, superb sound.

Great Sound - but expensive
The Logitech G Astro A50 X is the first Astro A50 headset rebranded to Logitech since their acquisition of Astro back in 2017. It succeeds the Astro A50 Gen 4, essentially making it the Gen 5. Gen 4 mod kits are compatible with the new A50 X.

All components are protected in the box with high quality felt and are well secured with efficient use of available space. It comes with a quick start guide and a couple of info cards, the headset and base unit, a USB-C power adapter & plug (UK and EU), 1 x USB-C to USB-A cable and 1 x USB-C to dual USB-A and USB-C (Y) combo cable. HDMI cables are not included, which is disappointing as you’ll need at least 2 if connecting to a console and 3 if you use both. You will also need to buy a second USB-C to dual USB-A and USB-C (Y) combo cable if you intend to simultaneously connect to both Xbox and PS5.

Both headset and base unit look and feel well made with quality materials. The base unit is surprisingly compact — narrower than the width of the headset — and so fits nicely on my desk. The ear pads and headband cushion are a very soft and pleasant feeling fabric. Fit is easily and independently adjustable. The ear pads were a little uncomfortable for me but connect via magnets and are very easy to swap out. I replaced with some aftermarket PU leather pads which I find more comfortable. Others have reported finding the included pads comfortable, so this is obviously down to the individual. Be aware that different pads will also affect the sound profile and how the headset fits into the base unit. Both ear cups rotate 90 degrees so you can lay them flat.

I started my test by hooking the base unit directly to my PC. The companion software (Logitech G Hub) suggested the headset required a firmware update to configure, however I decided not to risk it as I have seen people reporting that it can render the headset unusable. Despite the claim to the contrary, the headset is still perfectly configurable without a firmware update. There are several settings you can change in the app, most notably EQ. There are a few default presets, or you can easily download community made profiles or make your own. I downloaded a community one for the ear pads I bought. There are also separate EQ settings for the microphone, along with some ‘noise gate’ presets which adjust how much sound gets transmitted. Thankfully, settings and EQ profiles persist across devices.

After initial setup and tweaking, I started with some music. I don’t profess to be an audiophile, but I was extremely impressed with the audio quality. The graphene drivers produce very clean and crisp sound, easy to pick out the different details and instruments, certainly more so than any previous headset I’ve owned. Solid bass without sounding ‘muddy’ while vocals and other instruments remain distinct. I listened to several songs I know well and discovered new facets I had never noticed before. The sound spatialisation is excellent, adding a real immersive quality and a new layer to the experience. They sound incredible for gaming, adding a new level of immersion to single player games and a competitive edge to multiplayer shooters. Thanks to the clear detail across the soundscape and precise spatialisation I could tell exactly where enemies were when nearby.

A Dolby Atmos for Headphones license is included and from what I gather, fully compatible with Xbox and PC but not PS5, where you’ll need to use Tempest 3D AudioTech for spatial audio instead due to restrictions imposed by Sony. I don’t own a PS5 so can’t comment further on that, but it works great with minimal setup on PC and Xbox.

There is an audio and voice chat mix, and you can adjust the balance simply by pushing either side of the right-hand ear cup or by adjusting in the app. This is a nice feature as you can use it for mixing separate audio sources.

Mic quality is excellent. Easily the best I’ve used and probably more than adequate even for professional streamers. Using the mic itself is extremely simple, just move it down in front of your mouth and it’ll automatically turn on. Move it back up to the upright position to mute.

There is no perceivable latency when using the proprietary Lightspeed wireless tech, which is especially important for wireless gaming. Bluetooth is also available but does has noticeable lag as you’d expect — around 260ms. Battery is great, I’ve used for hours at a time and it’s never dropped below 60%. The base unit is very convenient for recharging and storage when not in use.

The biggest USP for this headset is its compatibility across platforms. I cannot test with a PS5 but switching between PC and Xbox is quick and painless, working perfectly on both. From what I gather it sounds like it works fine with PS5, with the main caveat being no Dolby Atmos.

Overall, I think if you’re willing to spend the money and own the requisite devices then it’s probably your single best option. Yes, it’s expensive, but almost certainly cheaper than buying 2 quality headsets for separate consoles, with the added convenience of only needing the one. Even so, at this price point it is disappointing to not come as a complete package as you’ll need to purchase 2 extra cables for full functionality.

If you only have 1 of the listed devices, or they are in different rooms (as I suspect will be the case with many people), it’s harder to recommend. It’s an excellent headset, but expensive at 360. A fair portion of that cost will be due to the passthrough base unit, which (while very good) is an unnecessary expense if you’re not making full use of it. But if you don’t mind spending the extra, why not? If nothing else, you’ll already be ready if you ever buy another console down the line.

Sound — 5/5
Mic – 5/5
Features & Connectivity – 5/5
Build Quality & Comfort — 4.5/5
Included in the Box – 3.5/5
Price — 3/5
Overall — 4.5/5

As a product I feel it is a 5/5. I almost gave it 4 stars due to the price, but for its intended use I still think it’s the best and probably cheapest single premium option for its intended use. If you can justify the price, I think you’ll love it.

Good for gaming
I’ve used a number of different Logitech gaming products over the years with varying levels of success – these A50 headphones are from the higher end G range, could they deliver?

First impressions were good as both the headphones themselves and the base station included appear to be of high quality. When it comes to set up you’ve got a decent range of different options here, utilising ‘lightspeed’, Bluetooth or the HDMI passthroughs. You can set up multiple devices this way so if you game on both the PC and XBOX it’s easy to switch over.

Comfort and fit wise I was pretty happy with what was being delivered here. The headband holds the headphones in place well, the ear cups are well padded and there aren’t any parts that I found too tight, nor too hot which can be a probably with longer gaming sessions. The microphone, like the rest of the headset, is adjustable as required.

Performance wise and battery life seems to be pretty good – the base station also acts as a charger and then the wireless headphones continue to perform independently. In terms of lag which can be an issue with other wireless sets you’ll get best performance apparently using the ‘lightspeed’ connection. My gaming is probably not up to a standard where this would be a problem but I didn’t notice any issues.

Sound quality and this is where I felt a little let down. I know you probably won’t be listening to music on these cans but the range was somewhat limited. Voices come through pretty clearly, the microphone quality is fine but not exceptional and sound effects are generally crisp but it lacked both the bass and the top note clarity I would expect from headphones pitched around this level. For gaming this is probably fine, but I’ll be keeping to others for different tasks.

Overall then these are good all round gaming headphones built primarily for that single purpose of which they do a good job.
