PlayStation and PC Astro A50 Gen 4 is Only $149

Astro Gaming’s popular A50 Gen 4 headset is currently with a massive discount bringing the PlayStation, and PC version down to only $149.99 (MSRP $249.99).

For those unfamiliar with Astro A50, it has a built-in mixamp, Dolby Audio, 15 hour battery life, and best of all comes with a charging base. One of the nicer features is a weighted base to prevent it from moving when removing the headset. It’s also mod kit ready, making it extremely easy to change the ear pads, or headband in mere seconds.

We also recently compared it against Audeze’s Maxwell, which fell behind in sound quality, but was the clear favorite in regard to microphone. This price also brings it in-line with RIG Gaming’s 800 PRO SERIES, making Astro A50 the clear choice for those on the fence.

An expanded overview of features can be found below.
