Take your gaming audio to the next level with the Astro A50 Gen 5 Wireless Gaming Headset, built for Xbox, PS5 and PC players who want professional-grade performance without the wires. The PRO-G Graphene drivers deliver incredibly clear sound with precise audio separation, so you can pinpoint footsteps, track enemy movements, and catch every detail with accuracy. LIGHTSPEED wireless technology keeps your connection responsive and immersive, letting you move freely whilst Bluetooth connectivity adds dual-device mixing so you can chat or stream without swapping cables.
The over-ear design includes a built-in 48kHz microphone for crystal-clear communication, and the included base station makes charging effortless by doubling as a wireless dock. With up to 24 hours of battery life and a 90-minute charging time, you can game all day and be ready to go again quickly. The advanced G HUB and mobile app give you full control over your audio with 10-band parametric EQ, mic settings, noise reduction, and stream output mixing, and everything stores directly to the headset's 7-core DSP so your settings travel with you across systems.

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
