The Logitech Astro A50 (Gen 5) uses an over-ear fit and a closed-back design, which helps contain sound and reduce outside noise. It weighs 363 g and includes stereo speakers for standard two-channel audio output. The headset does not feature RGB lighting.
The A50 Gen 5 uses two 40 mm drivers to cover a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, and the headset supports spatial audio for positional sound reproduction. Passive noise reduction is included to help limit ambient sound, though active noise cancellation is not available. The drivers do not use neodymium magnets.
The A50 Gen 5 includes a single built-in microphone with a frequency response of 60 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The microphone is fixed in place and cannot be removed, and it does not offer noise cancellation or a mute function.
The A50 Gen 5 is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery rated for 24 hours of use, and a battery level indicator lets users keep track of remaining charge at a glance. The battery is not removable, so the headset must be charged in place.
The A50 Gen 5 connects via 2.4GHz wireless and is compatible with PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. A USB Type-C port is present for charging. The headset does not support Bluetooth-based audio codecs such as aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, LDHC, or AAC, and features like Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast, NFC pairing, and fast pairing are not included.
The A50 Gen 5 can be used as a headset and includes an on-device control panel for adjusting settings directly on the unit. There is no in-line control panel, and the headset does not offer a vibration function. The product is covered by a 2-year warranty.
The A50 Gen 5 includes support for Dolby Atmos, enabling object-based spatial sound on compatible content.
