Immerse yourself in pro-grade gaming audio with the Astro A50 Gen 5 Wireless Gaming Headset and Base Station. Designed for serious gamers who demand precision and clarity, this wireless headset uses PRO-G Graphene audio drivers with live edge technology to deliver groundbreaking sound separation and timing accuracy, so you can pinpoint every footstep and explosion with confidence. LIGHTSPEED wireless ensures ultra-responsive, lag-free performance across console and PC, whilst Bluetooth connectivity lets you mix audio from a second device seamlessly.
The 48kHz high-resolution microphone captures your voice clearly for team comms, and on-headset game chat balancing on Xbox and PC lets you adjust audio without interrupting gameplay. Over-ear cushions and an adjustable headband keep you comfortable during marathon sessions, while the included base station charges your headset wirelessly so it's always ready. With 24 hours of battery life, 7.1 Dolby support, and advanced G HUB software with 10-band parametric EQ stored on the headset's 7-core DSP, you get consistent, customisable audio on PS5, Xbox Series X and S, PC or Nintendo Switch.

Really well built, good audio quality

Best dolby atmos headphones
Think hands down, best headset purchase to date. The docking station is a bit fiddly as it takes me a few attempts to set it down to charge. The sound and mic are amazing.

Great sound, really comfortable fit!
Really happy with the headset, feel like it has massively upped my game in terms of hearing sound cues and footsteps. Would recommend to anyone! Hardly notice they are on my head at times!

I can highly recommend these to everyone
Brought this two weeks ago, and it’s been used every day since. Incredibly comfortable, great design, excellent sound quality

Perfect
My son has had these for a while and loves them. He likes the sound quality, the fit and the fact that they rest flat when he takes them off

Great Sound and Build Quality
I've had these for a couple of weeks now and they're great. Excellent build quality and really good sound. Use them for both Xbox Series X and PS5 via USB C. I don't have a PC, but they have the option to also switch to a PC via USB C.

Astro A50x in white
excellent service from Argos, I chose delivery this time with a delivery slot. Excellent headphones, very light, extremely comfortable and a very “bright “ sound. Only complaint is it connects to multiple sources but only 1 lead supplied! Excellent price from Argos, £60 off!

Hello Stuart,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Astro A50 Gen 5 Wireless Xbox, PS5, PC Gaming Headset Black: the previous gens you could swap the headband with a leather section, on the gen 5 this is no longer an option so nothing will "pop out" in the gen 5 Astro A50.
Thank you for using Q&A.

Hello EG91,
From the information we have available, I can advise The Astro A50 Gen 5 Wireless Headset and Base Station might come with an EU plug instead of a UK one due to regional distribution practices. Sometimes, products are shipped with plugs that match the region where they were manufactured or initially intended to be sold.
This can happen if the product was sourced from a European warehouse or if the specific batch was meant for the EU market.
Thank you for using Q&A
