With the prevalence of headphones dedicated to the game, the question remains what is the best headset, and is it worth the price? That's why we are discussing today our impression of the Astro A50 4th Generation Wireless Headphones.
Design and comfort
The first thing you notice is its elegant design, although it uses materials like plastic, the quality of the industry is very high. Neutral and classic colors such as black, which gives a feeling of luxury compared to other headphone designs with bright colors that resemble games.
Personally, my relationship with the headphones is not the strongest, I can not afford to use them for more than an hour maximum, but Astro A50 broke this rule. With the help of lightweight on the head and pillows around the ears and top of the head. The beautiful in-ear pads are the right size, as they contain full ears that increase the comfort and sound quality that we'll talk about later. It is also worth mentioning that you can replace and remove the ear pads smoothly and easily as they are connected to three small magnetic pieces but they are fixed and tight, and in general the speaker resistance is high for any accidents or accidental shocks.
Sound quality
Technically, the A50 supports Dolby Audio surround sound, which transports the player to the game world and immerses it in an ideally realistic experience. One of the most notable experiences I had was with Call of duty modern warfare, where one of the story tasks required to infiltrate a house and move from one room to another. From every side, at different levels, with the A50 and the proper insulation, the experience has become crazy, as if literally inside the game!
For the microphone, its performance is excellent for chatting and communicating with friends over the network, but it is not perfect for recording content such as videos and podcasts. The echo level and noise pickup are annoying and may not be the best even after processing.
Characteristics and features
The A50 has a battery that lasts about 10-15 hours, some might consider it not long enough, but I see it as a special fit with the platform or charging base. Also, the headset has internal gyros sensors. Whenever the speaker is removed and placed on the sofa or tabletop, it will shut down immediately and save energy even if you do not return it to the base. There is also a similar feature in the mic, instead of having a mute button you can lift it to mute or return it next to your mouth to work automatically and directly.
Through the headset, you can also balance the volume of the conversation and the game, in addition to the availability of an integrated program that can customize a lot of settings through it and saved in different EQ accounts. For example, if you want different settings for shooting games and different settings for other games.
Summary
With its high price, it may be difficult to buy it by many but its high quality makes it an investment price, I recommend in case you are looking for a comfortable, stylish and professional headset.
