Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Headset gets a second chance at life on ps5! Easy to use adapter for ps5 and any astro mix amp. The only downside, not so much of this but with the ps5 in general is you run out of usb ports.

It works perfectly for my previous setup, it works perfectly with the switcher as well. It makes streaming a lot simpler and possible. The only downside is it tops out at 60 fps.



Cons

Astro gaming's a50 adapter is not compatible with the ps5. The optical port does not allow for full audio control, and dolby audio drivers to be toggled on and off. The maximum that this adapter can do is 1080p @ 120hz.

Quality


Works well, works as intended and no problems!


This product provides awesome sound from hdmi connection for wireless headset.


That being said astro gaming puts out quality products this is no exception


I have the ps5 connected to a monitor not a tv and it was impossible to find a solution.

Price


I don’t like that you need to buy another $40 part to make a $300 headset work on your ps5.


I bought a 400 dollar monitor for it.


The thing works, so it gets 5 stars, but it's really dumb that you need to use it for a $300 set of headphones.

    I was worried that i could not use my astro on my playstation 5


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But as you reading my review the ps5 requires an adapter to use your astro on playstation 5


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is unfair to the consumer because playstation should have considered this


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It broke my heart to spend money on this but i needed my astro to work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Only downside is it seems that my headset wont charge while the ps5 is in standby mode which is livable
