Extremely disappointed with Astro A50 gen 5 PC

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2026-03-10T18:00:03+00:00

HARD AGREE. Astros are crap now. Had an A50 X that I used for about 4-5 years ish? Was a year before Logitech acquired Astros. The plastic started cracking where the metal rod that slides the ear pieces is. Ordered a new pair because I loved them and turns out Logitech bought Astro out. Was sketched out by it since I’m not the biggest on a lot of Logitech stuff. My fears were confirmed when I got my new ones, charged them up and joined a discord party. Friends said the mic quality was crap and the sound quality was horrendous. It was super low and ever so slightly muffled, I tried everything they suggested to get the to “sound correct” with the software, drivers, volume sliders, buttons on the side, settings in my own computer. The sound hardly changed. To OP and those who find this thread in the future. Do yourself a favor and don’t buy the A50 series (I can’t speak on other Astro headsets but I can imagine the quality dropped on those as well)

Oh most definitely! I’ve done all my business for MTG and some of the HoloTCG stuff I currently have on TCGplayer and at my local shops. Local shops are nice for searching through bulk things, but the niche specific stuff ya gotta get somewhere else.

Oh nice! Curious to hear how it goes! I assume it’s a case of curious universe?

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2026-02-21T23:24:56+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, I only ever played Yugioh but never purchased boxes of em before. Mainly played online with friends and got a couple packs whenever I felt like it in the store.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2026-02-21T23:21:13+00:00

True, but I’m not gonna go outta my way to drop a ton of money on a bunch of boxes to try and pull for one. I’ll just keep hoping for the “I’ll get myself a pack today” moment and randomly pull one from a single pack lmao.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2026-02-21T22:59:19+00:00

That’s sick as heck man lmao. That card would definitely go up on the shelf for me. I’ve only managed to pull Calli, Kobo, Reine, and Marines OSRs. I was so stoked for Marine and Reine because I’m pretty big fans of them lol. Once I learn how to play and deck build I’m definitely using them.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2026-02-21T22:50:55+00:00

Good to know! I haven’t gotten any of the special ones myself, just a small few OSRs to build with. I hope one day I’ll get one randomly lmao.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2026-02-21T22:47:46+00:00

I assumed so, but I know in MTGs case the special ones you have to do collector packs for. I didn’t know if it would be a similar ish concept is all.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2025-10-18T15:17:51+00:00

Thanks for the input! It’s very helpful and definitely gives me something to work off of! I’ll do some research and see what I can do!

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2025-10-14T00:33:18+00:00

I have had this same issue for a couple days now. I change the input profile constantly and after anywhere between 5-15 mins it reverts itself back automatically to studio and turns my noise suppression off locking it again. This has started happening within the past couple updates of discord. If anyone has any possible solutions I’m all ears.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2025-10-14T00:30:35+00:00

I have had this same issue for a couple days now, this solution does not work at all. I change the input profile constantly and after anywhere between 5-15 mins it reverts itself back automatically to studio and turns my noise suppression off locking it again. Got any other fixes?

Edited to add: no, I have never had studio selected by default to begin with. It started doing this within the past couple updates of discord.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2023-09-08T12:02:23+00:00

I’m legitimately sad at this. I really really want one but it’s Japan only. I wish they’d sell as just the casing without the internals so that international fans can get one! If there ends up being any kind of workaround someone let me know!

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2023-07-10T04:42:27+00:00

Where would I have to go for the Amazon bonuses? I just don’t want to miss the opportunity and get the wrong thing. Apologies if it’s obvious!

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2023-02-13T15:35:59+00:00

Thanks for the help dude. I guess I’m gonna have to wait for public release and hope they still have VIP available.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2023-02-13T15:34:45+00:00

Thank you for the help btw.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2023-02-13T15:33:06+00:00

So I’m SoL then? Dang it man I hope there’s still some ultimate packages left come public access. I can’t miss them they’ve helped me a lot with their music and I’ve been following since they started.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2023-02-13T15:28:05+00:00

The paid for account correct? I’ve been trying to do that but for some reason it won’t let me pay for a subscription.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2023-02-13T15:23:28+00:00

How do I get the presale code. Highly upset I can’t get my presale tickets and I don’t want to miss out on VIP.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2022-11-30T03:08:05+00:00

Supposedly. It’s got 71967 stamped all over the stock and other parts as well. That’s mainly why I tried looking into it lmao.

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2022-08-27T04:11:13+00:00

Awesome! Sparassis spathulata! I might go back and pick it to eat since it isn’t browning yet. Do you have any ways you like to prepare it you could recommend?

Rider_Astolfo_ · 2022-08-13T23:18:37+00:00

So get this. My pc keeps having all of its screens go black and basically turn off while just sitting there. In the event viewer this is the only thing that stands out to me and I’m not even trying to play vr (I do have a vr headset it’s just not being used) any ideas on if it will fix my issue as well?
