Logitech G Astro A50 X review

The Astro A50 X is built around its base station. Logitech's PLAYSYNC connects Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and a PC or Mac at the same time, and a tap on the headset switches between them. The base station uses HDMI 2.1 with 4K 120 Hz passthrough, which on Xbox also carries game and chat mixing and Dolby Atmos spatial sound. The headset uses 40 mm PRO-G GRAPHENE drivers, is Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic compatible, and has a flip-up mute mic. A magnetic charging cradle keeps it topped up between sessions, and an LED panel shows battery and the active system. Battery is rated at 24 hours at 78 dB, the shortest of our picks, and the setup asks for HDMI cabling through the base. Logitech G listed it at $359.99 against $399.99 when we checked.
