Pros & Cons
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.

Highlights
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.

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.
