Overview: The Astro A50 Wireless is a gaming headset for Xbox (Series X and S) and PC-Mac. It comes
with the Astro Wireless Base Station and 2.4 GHz wireless transmitter. This over-ear
headset has a powerful rechargeable battery for those lengthy gaming sessions.
The Astro A50 includes 1 meter optical and Micro USB cables.

Design: The Astro A50 is equipped with plush ear and headband cushions that
are covered in soft cloth. An optional Mod Kit with user replaceable cushions is available from the manufacturer. The 40mm neodymium drivers are housed in an open-air
ear cup, and deliver pro quality audio. A 6mm unidirectional, noise-canceling
microphone is mounted on the 7" boom. The headphones weigh just over 13 ounces.

Dolby Audio: The headphones provide a 3-dimensional gaming experience
with built-in Dolby Audio. Dolby Audio uses powerful
digital signal processing, and can be turned on or off on the headset, as
desired. A 2-year Dolby Atmos activation code is available for free for Xbox only (details in the box).

On-board Controls: The Astro A50 feature several on-board controls on the
right earcup. Push button controls let you turn the headset on or off, switch between Dolby Audio and Source Audio, and select an EQ Mode. A rotary control lets you control the overall volume. The outer surface of the right earcup is a touch-sensitive area that lets you control the ratio of the game audio and the voice communication audio by sliding your finger forward or backward on the pad. Swinging the entire mic boom just past vertical will mute the microphone.

Lithium-Ion Battery: The Astro A50 headset operates on a powerful Lithium-Polymer single-cell
rechargeable battery. After fully charged while docked in the base station, the
battery has over 15 hours of battery life, and approximately 20 months of standby battery life. To conserve battery power, the A50
detects when you have taken off the headset and goes into "sleep" mode. When
you\’re ready to play again, the headset "wakes up" automatically when it detects
motion.

Base Station: The A50 Base Station\’s 2.4 GHz transmitter wirelessly transmits
your gaming audio up to 49 feet. The
headset easily docks in the base station cradle for charging and pairing. When
the battery status is shown on the base station, pairing is complete. Four LEDs
on the base station indicate 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% headset battery level. One
LED glows solid red and emits an audible tone when the charge reaches 10%, and
flashes and beeps at 5%.

Base Station Connections: The Base Station has an optical input with a Toslink
port for connecting the digital audio from the Xbox console to the transmitter. In
addition, there\’s an optical output pass-through port to send a digital signal to
another component or for streaming. The base also features a Micro-B USB port for USB
audio and PC connection, plus USB power (5V 0.5A). The A50 comes with one meter
Micro USB and optical digital cables. A 3.5mm Aux Input is also provided.

Astro Command Center Software: Downloadable Astro Command Center software is
available for your PC. With this free software, you get enhanced control over the voice communications and audio settings. The software is compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10.
