Astro A50 (Gen 5) review

The Astro A50 (Gen 5) is the pick for a living room with several consoles plugged into one TV. Logitech G says PLAYSYNC Audio lets the base station connect and switch between three gaming systems, including Xbox, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch, with one button press; consoles and PC connect to the base over USB-C. Audio comes through PRO-G GRAPHENE drivers, which Logitech says are stiffer than standard drivers so they do not warp at high volume, over 24-bit LIGHTSPEED wireless. The microphone records at 48 kHz, and the iOS and Android app adds EQ presets, a parametric EQ, extended mic resolution and noise reduction. It was $299.99 on the US store on the check date. The product page does not state battery life, weight or wireless range, which makes it harder to compare with rivals that publish those figures. We compared documented features and published prices only.
