Started off nice but quickly showed its flaws

Right off the bat this headset comes in a lovely case with everything displayed nicely and seems incredibly well setup and supported, however, I regret to say that this is a completely misleading case.

Unable to use as intended

Found the headphones to be fundamentaly flawed when used on a PC. The bass was muddy and overwhelming which drown out all other frequencies. Online research meant I needed to use the playstation setting which gave a more flat eq that was reminiscent of my old headphones. This means I loose the use of the astro software and it's adjustable eq. It's now functional but ultimately disappointing especially for the price.

Don't bother unless for PS4/5

Awesome comfy light headphones you can wear for hours with great sound, Just let down by their horrible software/firmware update function. All videos on PC would freeze when I turned them on and I couldn't find the problem tried to use update and got very frustrating. They have been confined to PS5 where the work fine.

A poor purchase for the price

The software is bad, likes to change the settings by itself.

The fit is great.... until that bit of plastic on the band gets twisted and permanently distorts the headband shape so they no longer just slot into the base, you have to jiggle and jiggle. Also at this point the plastic will be constatly falling off. People have taken to 3D printing clips to prevent it.

The mic is a dice roll. Either your P likes it and it works swell or it doesn't and everyone you talk to is going to say you're too quiet or too loud.

It should be top of its class, and it could be if they didn't cheap out all over, and that's not what you expect at this price po...view more

Worst headphones I've ever bought

I do not recommend buying these headphones.

The headband Is very poorly made and will break within a couple months of use(had to use superglue). The padding on the headphones is cheap quality and will diminish and eventually start hurting your head. Not to mention the poor mic quality and the fact you have to tweak the overly complicated audio settings just to get it to sound decent. The headphones themselves struggle to fit in the charging port and often disconnect with no rhyme or reason, meaning you have to unplug and plug it back in just to get it to connect again. Definitely NOT worth the price....

Do not buy these headphones, There a...view more

Good sound and comfort, some annoying tech issues.

Nice comfortable headset and has good sound. The only issue I have is it can be very temperamental when placing it on the charging base station as won't always connect and start charging and can take a few attempts to get it to start charging. Overall I would wait till they are on special as would not pay full price.

Excellent

Have only used these for a few weeks, but very happy with them overall.

They have a good battery life, good deep sound, very comfortable on the ears and mostly easy set up.

Although the instructions are minimal it's fairly easy to set up, and you can use optical cable through your tv if you want to use them as a headphones for other devices/services, which still works just as well.

Amazing headset worth the price

The headset is really good, only have had for about a month. The wireless is really good especially coming from wired headphones would recommend. One thing is that u need to charge it before your first use witch took a while but other than that they are amazing

Good quality

Got these at a good discount, heads up though to make them work on PS4 Slim you will need an adapter. Wish they had some way to plug in non-wirelessly as well. Overall quite good sound, just more bassy then I expected.
