Hello, my ear pads are quite used over the years... They are approaching unusable territory. I've looked and looked and I cannot find a replacement set that closely mimics the originals. No matter where I look there's a ton of people in the reviews saying they are nothing like the originals. If anyone has any recommendations I would really appreciate it! ♡

Not sure if it’s just me but I cannot get my monitor to display my ps5 unless my PC is turned on. I assume everything is setup correctly as I followed all the instructions.

Anyone know how to fix this? Sometimes I wanna keep my PC off because it gets a little noisy and I prefer the quiet.

The only solution I’ve found out is to disconnect the a50 x and unplug the PS5 hdmi cable from the base station and put it into the ps5 itself

I bought a pair of Astro A50s more than 2 months ago and they stopped working after about 2 weeks. The receiver is in the exact same position as I set it up in and still in pristine condition, however I've noticed it's hot to the touch.

I contacted support immediately when it happened and they are just terrible. It's been almost 2 months of contacting them and I've received no help, just responses about once every 2 weeks asking me another question about where I set it up, what I've done to make it stop working, and so on. However, when I initially sent the request, I gave exact details on everything possible like order #, serial #, when I bought it, what happened etc., even though they're asking me the same questions I've already given the answers to.

I've tried calling at least 4 times, chatting with support of upwards of 8 times, and I get the same response of "it's being escalated", "they'll reach out to you soon".

It's incredibly frustrating as this headset has been broken longer than I've owned it. I'm not sure what else to do at this point besides initiating a chargeback on my credit card which I just did, and I'm really hoping I get my money back because I don't see support giving me a new headset anytime soon.

Dealing with this whole ordeal will make me steer away from Logitech products for the rest of my life honestly.

I swear, when I put the headset down on the dock, there is only a 20% chance of it actually charging. I can almost never get this thing to actually make contact with the connections and it’s driving me mad. Any advice?

I used to use a gaming pc but I bought a new gaming desktop pc and I used to use Dolby atmos with my Astro a40’s with the mixamp on my old pc so I tried to use it on my new pc and Dolby access doesn’t detect my headset and I’m stuck on the page saying to try the free trial or buy the subscription. I have tried to do firmware updates through Astro command centre but it won’t update and is stuck at 0% but I plugged my mixamp and headset into my old pc and it all still works perfectly fine so I don’t think the firmware part is a problem. I checked the audio drivers and they both match the same versions but on the new pc I only have the option for windows sonic Spatial Audio and on my old pc there’s an option for Dolby. I have tried a few other things that chatGPT told me to try but so far nothing has worked and now it’s telling me to do stuff on powershell and just thought I’d ask here before I tried anything else.

So I have the Astro a50 for my ps5 and I play on a 4k TV but the hdmi adapter just stopped working. I'm tired of buying thiers for the adapter to only last a few months or so at $40 a piece so what do yall recommend for a replacement over the astro hdmi adapter? Just learned it limits to 60fps which I'm not to thrilled about either. So if yall know of one thats better that would be awesome. Or if there's a way to use it with my ps5 that doesn't require an hdmi adapter that would be awesome as well!!

Just picked up a pair of a50x’s after using the a40 mixamp for about 6 years. Was wondering how i can listen to discord, youtube, music on the pc while also hearing game audio from my ps5? I have stand alone mics for both so im not really concerned for mic quality and all that.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I've had my Gen 5's for almost 2 years now and it's firmware had never updated. Mine is currently on v1.3.24 OOB and I never updated it since.

As the title suggests. I just got a new pair of a50 gen 5 and the mic sounds awful. Audio is super clean but mic is terrible. What settings should I look into? I got the lghub and made sure all is set like recommended.

I bought an A50x a week ago and ever since the I keep getting disconnectivity issues. At first the headset would just disconnect randomly from my pc and I would have to switch to PlayStation mode then back to pc mode to fix it. I took it to the store I bought it from after I did all the troubleshooting I could I even used ChatGPT for some of the troubleshooting solutions I didn’t do. The store tested and told me it was working fine and it was on my end, when I took it back home the issue became worse instead of just disconnecting it lags my pc for a solid 10 secs without any solution besides waiting. I am really fed up with all this troubleshooting as this is not a cheap headset so if anyone can help me I would be thankful.

First i am worried about the splitter cable. It looks like there is no replacement for the cable. Is it durable enough ?(My biggest fear with this headset)

I am switching from a Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, refunding it with warranty after a year and 11 months of use because of some issues like dock wheel not working and mic mute button beep sound looping for seconds. Is there quality issues like this for volume wheel or buttons in the headset ?

Is bluetooth sucks like nova pro wireless ?

This is my first premium headset. I use PS5, and I use PC 65% of the time. I’m looking for something that’s super easy to switch between. I see the A50 X everywhere but the opinions are very mixed. The A20 X however is less common and I can’t find any truly credible reviews online. Does none have experience with either headsets and can give me an in-depth comparison between the two? Thanks!
