Rating: 9.0.

Today we will be taking a closer look at the Astro Gaming A50 Wireless Headset. ASTRO is a well-known name in gaming circles, having their A40 headset deemed the official PC headset of Major League Gaming. Boasting such features as KleerNet 5.8GHz Wireless Technology, a built-in MixAmp, multiple EQ modes and Dolby 7.1 this headset comes with a hefty price tag of £249.99 inc vat.
