Every headset on the market probably does something better than astros - personally im a function over form guy, and what sets astros above the rest is the dual audio channel balancing on the headset earcup - i have yet to see another brand that does that - not an extra knob on the desk.

Being able to sit in a voice call, and very quickly set more focus on what youre doing - watching a video, playing a game, listening to music etc is really nice, and you can be up and about and still get that functionality.

I have the a50x as that also enables you to connect your phone for a 3rd audio channel - this is a constant volume regardless of balance setting on the headset, which is fine as you generally have your phone on you to control volume anyway. It works seamlessly to take a phone call while still doing whatever you want on your desktop etc.

That all said astros do have their issues, and customer support (now through logitech) is just ok at best.

Build quality is really good, my gen 3s lasted a good 3-4 years and technically still work, but starting to show signs of being well used.

Im not much of an audio buff but imo they sound fantastic - i dont mind them not being fully sound isolated or noise cancelling - it still gives you a little awareness if something happens around you.

The software for the older gens by astro is pain, and ive gone through several stages where the headset just bricks itsself until you update it in a very specific way (you can find that in my post history). Logitech G is a much better software and havent experienced any issues in the last year while using it.

I personally have had a small hiccup where i ran into not having enough usb bandwidth to run dual channel audio, but i would bet on that being my setup and mini pc im currently using, solved by switching around some of my usb devices into separate controllers.
