The Astro A50 X is a high-end headset ideal for PS5 Pro, and it's now cheaper than ever on Amazon.

The expensive headset I use every day is finally on sale.

The popular Astro A50 X headset, which has won over many users, has experienced its first major discount on Amazon, making it a significant deal for those looking for excellent sound equipment. Currently, this model in a stylish white color is available for just $312.11, down from its previous price of $379.99. This price cut of $67.88 represents the lowest figure seen for this product.

The Astro A50 X is particularly well-suited for the PS5 Pro, as well as other existing platforms, allowing it to stand out among its competitors. This headset has been a key piece on my desk since I reviewed it last year. Unlike other gaming headsets I’ve tried, the Astro A50 X works as a video splitter itself, integrating video signals from Xbox Series X or S and PlayStation 5 into a single output. It is also compatible with PC, which is ideal for those who frequently switch between the three platforms.

Operating with HDMI 2.1 audio, the Astro A50 X offers exceptional console audio quality, achieving 24-bit levels. With support for Dolby Atmos, this headset presents itself as a comprehensive high-end solution, suitable for both gaming and music listening. In our review of the Astro A50 X, it received a four out of five-star rating, highlighting its outstanding audio quality, robust feature set, and sleek design. Additionally, it has a crystal-clear microphone, perfect for those seeking an optimal experience in multiplayer gaming.

However, it is worth mentioning that the installation process can be somewhat complicated, as it involves multiple cables. While this may be a drawback for some, I believe the exceptional performance of the headset compensates for any setup difficulties.
