Astro A50 X
Astro A50 X, the white model, has crisp angular lines and larger form factor and it looks like PS5 to boot. Headset and base station are made of plastic but are sturdy. Its padded bumper and plush ear cups are comfortable in high temperature. Their cups can easily be removed to swap in with a cooler leatherette set. It has soft swivel to each side so that the cups can sit flush against the head without pinching on the ears. It has an ace in its base station. Charging dock and wireless transmitter is a bonafide HDMI switcher for hooking up a few HDMI 2.1 cables to the rear to plug both PS5 and Xbox Series X.
The Display Port or USB-A only connection options make things more limited here. Bluetooth is also available. It is happiest when it’s placed between two consoles. The base station keeps the full 4K 120Hz signal of the HDMI 2.1 cables intact, and switches seamlessly between the two provided both are set to rest rather than turned off. There’s a deft handling of competing audio across all the ranges as well as a powerful bass and well-spaced higher tones.
