According to our gaming headset expert
If you're looking for a wireless Dolby 7.1 surround sound gaming headset for PC and PlayStation 4, the Astro A50 is the headset for you. The Dolby 7.1 surround sound means you hear everything that is happening around you and won't be surprised by sneakyopponents. The dials on the ear cup let you adjust the volume, your microphone and equalizer settings for games, movies, and music. Connect the base station to your PC and console and switch between the 2 platforms with the touch of a button. Finished gaming? The base station is both a stand and a charger and stores the headset stylishly on your desk.
Note: to be able to use the optical connection, you need a PS4 Pro or a suitable motherboard. The PS4 Slim isn't equipped with an optical connector.

This headset was in the 2nd chance shelter and I adopted it. ordered before 23:00 and he was at his new home the next day. We have to get used to each other for an evening but we can't live without each other now. Switching from PS4 to PC is very easy, just remember that you don't need optical for the PC, USB is enough.
He is now sleeping comfortably in his bed. Sleep tight and let's have many more gaming experiences together.

First of all I would like to say something about the good service that Coolblue provides every time. Very friendly staff and if you call they take all the time for you. No question is too stupid! More companies can take an example of that!!
The sound it gives is, in one word, sublime. You can easily switch between surround sound on and off. Also the 3 different equalizers is very handy and easy and fast. You can set and adjust them yourself via the Astro Command Center. It is also useful to know that you can set the microphone separately in terms of sound and whether you want to hear yourself or not. The battery lasts a really long time and if it is unexpectedly empty, you simply plug a mini USB cable into the headset and then it also charges. On the new docking station you can clearly read whether you have dolby on or off, the status of the battery can be clearly read. When you've finished playing, place it back in the docking station and it is neatly cleaned up and it also looks nice and neat. I'm very happy with it, don't want another one!! Price is high yes but worth every penny!!
