Logitech G ASTRO A50 Gen 5 Wireless - Black

Inside each ear cup, a 40 mm PRO-G GRAPHENE driver swaps the usual membrane for graphene, a far stiffer material that doesn't bend or distort when explosions stack up. Logitech's Live Edge design suspends it so it moves faster than a fixed-edge speaker, and footsteps stay clean even at high volume. The 24-bit LIGHTSPEED link carries all of it uncompressed, while the omnidirectional 48 kHz mic sends your callouts out sharp.

The base station takes up to three systems through its USB-C ports, so your PS5, Xbox, PC or Nintendo Switch stay connected three at a time. A press on the PLAYSYNC button on the A50 Gen 5 moves your audio from one to the next, with no cable to swap. Its 7-core DSP keeps your custom audio settings as you go, and simultaneous Bluetooth blends Discord, music or a mobile game into your game audio.

Between sessions, the A50 Gen 5 clicks onto the magnetic charging cradle of its base station, ready the next time you pick it up. Off the dock, the battery runs for up to 24 hours, and a USB-C port charges it without the station. The headband slider tube uses low-carbon aluminium made with renewable energy, and the plastic parts contain 45% recycled material, so the headset carries a lighter footprint.

The A50 Gen 5 shares PLAYSYNC switching with the A50 X, which also routes video through HDMI, and keeps every connection on USB-C instead. On the headset, a game/chat mix control inherited from ASTRO's MixAmp balances your squad against the game on the fly. Logitech G HUB on PC and the Logitech G app on iOS and Android go further with parametric EQ, mic noise reduction, sidetone and a dedicated stream mix.
