“Over the last decade, the A50 has become an icon in gaming
headsets due to its focus on gamer-centric design, premium sound,
and superior comfort and durability,” said Ujesh Desai, general
manager of Logitech G. “Our new A50 X elevates this beloved headset
with an unmatched level of performance by combining the A50’s
award-winning design with several new features and advanced
technologies that truly revolutionize gameplay.”
Comfort, sound, connectivity, communications and compatibility
are the keys that gamers look for in an audio solution. The A50 X
combines the design of the original A50, a favorite of console
gamers everywhere, with four breakthrough innovations in the
console headset market.
PLAYSYNC - ONE CLICK SWITCHING BETWEEN CONSOLE AND PC
PLATFORMS
Bringing all systems together, PLAYSYNC Technology is an
industry first that allows gamers to connect their Xbox Series X|S,
PS5 and PC/MAC all at once and seamlessly switch between all three
gaming systems with the simple ‘one-click’ of a button on the A50 X
headset. When switching between Xbox and PS5 consoles, PLAYSYNC
will change what the gamer views on their TV and what is heard in
their headset. When switching to PC, PLAYSYNC will change what is
heard in the gamer's headset. Allowing gamers to decide and easily
switch to the gaming experience they want to enjoy at any
moment.
A50 X is a two part Base Station and Wireless Headset system
that works directly with high performance game consoles as well as
4K UHD Televisions using HDMI 2.1 technology. Using HDMI, the Base
Station directs audio wirelessly to the A50 X Headset, while
passing the console’s video through to the TV without impacting the
source’s intended fidelity and features such as 4K 120Hz HDR, VRR,
and ALLM. The result is high performance and ultra-low latency
video.
Audio signals are also intelligently routed on A50 X; with the
headset docked to the Base Station, audio signals along with video
will be passed through to the connected TV. When gamers undock the
headset, audio signals will be rerouted to the headset
automatically, improving convenience and versatility between open
or private listening experiences.
HIGH PERFORMANCE GAMING AUDIO
With sound being such a critical component in gaming, the A50
X’s PRO-G GRAPHENE Audio Driver has been precision engineered with
a 40 mm graphene diaphragm featuring a live edge suspension, to
deliver superior audio performance like never before. The new
driver delivers improvements in sound reproduction accuracy, time
to signal accuracy and distortion reduction, allowing players to
identify audio objects more clearly, and more quickly discern their
location as objects move relative to the player.
Graphene is a breakthrough material for audio clarity, detail,
and spatial timing accuracy. With unprecedented harmonic rigidity
these audio drivers reduce distortion while delivering soaring
highs, clear mids and rich bass.
Optimized for the multi-platform player who requires the highest
levels of audio and visual fidelity, and demands both style and
design excellence, the A50 X headset system is purposefully
designed to work with high performance game consoles using HDMI 2.1
& USB-C connectivity, allowing A50 X to deliver uncompressed
audio at up to 24-bit fidelity.
The integrated LED status info panel and the click-in magnetic
charging cradle of the A50 X Base Station keeps the headset battery
topped off and always at the ready.
LIGHTSPEED WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
Logitech G’s award-winning 24 bit LIGHTSPEED wireless technology
is a continuously improving pro-grade solution for quality of
sound, reliability in connectivity, and efficiency for epic battery
life. The Base Station also features simultaneous Bluetooth®
connectivity allowing gamers to mix Discord chat with game audio or
listen to music while playing.
FULL BAND HIGH RESOLUTION 48KHz MICROPHONE
The A50 X is Logitech G’s first headset that comes equipped with
an integrated high resolution 16 bit 48 kHz LIGHTSPEED microphone;
this additional bandwidth lets the microphone capture a much
broader spectrum of sound delivering unrivaled performance,
clarity, and quality in a boom microphone. A50 X lets players
control Game/Chat mix on Xbox, PC—and even their PS5, and balance
volume between game and chat with on-ear controls.
TOTAL CONTROL
Gamers can optimize and fine tune the gaming audio experience
with G HUB on PC and the Logitech G App on iOS/Android devices.
Control headset EQ presets or dive deep into the fully parametric
EQ. Take advantage of the extended resolution of the microphone and
dial in broadcast-quality EQ settings while controlling their
environment with noise reduction.
Gamers can set up stream output audio mixing, specify sidetone
amount, save custom presets, and more.

The Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset
features parts that include a minimum of 35 percent post-consumer
recycled content, and the paper packaging comes from FSC-certified
forests. In addition the A50 X is certified Carbon Neutral, which
