Astro A50 X looks sick, but I won’t be upgrading from my A50s
I remember when I bought my Astro A50s. As a relatively casual gamer, it felt kind of insane to be spending $300 on a gaming headset. Up until then, I used sub-$100 headsets that were fine but would eventually have issues and crap out on me. After doing a ton of research, I settled on at least giving the A50s, which were beloved by the gaming community, an honest try.
Sometimes, something is more expensive because of the hype, and sometimes it's more expensive because of the quality. In this case, it was both. The A50s were certainly hyped by gamers who used them, but for good reason — they have been the most performative, most comfortable, and most reliable pair of gaming headphones I have ever owned. And now, they're getting a new version.
