Product Information

As for me, my only real criticism of this product is the volume dials, which aren't the most intuitively designed inputs ever made since they behave more like buttons than dials, but once you get used to them they at the very least do the job. The app is far better than most of Astro's competitors in this space, with a simple and intuitive interface. I can safely say I have gotten kills as a result of Turtle Beach's headsets due to their sound tuning. Your Xbox One should now be recognizing the Astro A50 without any issues and the mic should work too because of this.

On the back of the right headphone, there’s the volume dial and power switch, as well as buttons for toggling the A50’s Dolby sound and EQ presets. But from what results we can get by poking the headset every so often and checking the battery percentage: we’d estimate around 16 hours of playback time. Holding the power button on the headset initiates pairing, which you shouldn’t have to do since the Base Station/MixAmp and headset are pre-paired. The software is also arguably the best on the market, particularly for Xbox, given that it works on your Xbox console without having to connect a separate app or device to get adjustments. There are plenty of options depending on your needs, and hopefully, we can find something that's a great fit for you.

Over very long periods of time (years), lower-quality wireless headsets batteries may completely dry up too, with no way of replacing them easily. This is the headset for the Xbox gamer who wants a true jack-of-all-trades type all-in-one package deal. I unreservedly recommend the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro to anyone who wants to up their Xbox headset game.

The microphone is no slouch either, although you probably won't be creating content on it, it does the job for communication online. The charge dock is also great for keeping your playspace nice and tidy, while ensuring your headset never runs out of juice.You can find out more about our use, change your default settings, and withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by visiting Cookies Settings, which can also be found in the footer of the site.
