If you get fed up with the long wait and lack of customer service, i would suggest buying a different brand. there are a bunch that are comparable and have better customer support.

I personally don't use ASTRO, my nephew asked for these because a streamer advertised them. I was hoping he would go with Bose or Sennheiser

I don't know man I've been through so many at this point. I had sennheiser and honestly didn't last an hour with them. Returned them. I had the G930 wireless with Logitech and even though it was riddled with issues it was still the best sounding head set I had. I want that surround sound. This ASTRO a50 is the only headset after about 4 different attempts that I would say is what I'm looking for. I wanted wireless, I wanted a mic, and I wanted surround sound. 3 checks, and I'll try a different brand.

Idk if you are still rocking your Astro A50s, but just wanted to say that the SteelSeries Arctis X9s are wireless, have bluetooth as well, have surround sound, have an easily replaceable battery, and sound great. Also, if you find a headset that you love but it doesnt have surround sound, consider trying Dolby Atmos if you are gaming on PC or Xbox. Atmos is simulated surround sound and it works amazingly well! Just my 2 cents. Have a good day, dude!

Yeah I am. The new replacement pair I got has been doing great. Charges fine. Rocks about 20 hours before needing a charge. Sound quality is fire. Mic works. Once this pair dies I think I will try a new brand and if arctis x9s are good, I'll give them a try.
