If you’re serious about your audio when you’re gaming, you’ve probably heard of Astro’s A50 gaming headset. Not only is it great for hearing everything that happens on-screen (and off), but it makes communicating with teammates or just having a chat while you’re gaming crystal clear and easy. And you can even use the headset to make game time a bit more private – or quiet, if you live with others and don’t want to disturb them.

Best Buy has knocked the price down to $150, which is a massive $100 off the usual $250 price tag. At 40% off, this headset deal even beats other current Black Friday deals that you can shop right now.
Crisp audio, crystal clear comms
This headset offers all the premium features you’d expect at this price: crystal-clear Dolby Audio, separate game and chat mixing controls, and a battery that actually lasts through marathon gaming sessions. It also has a magnetic charging base that means you’ll never accidentally leave the headset uncharged and a flip-to-mute mic so you can cut the audio off when you really need to.
Playing shooters? This headset’s audio positioning helps you pinpoint enemy locations. Love to play more story-heavy games? Dolby Audio makes those cinematic moments actually feel like you’re watching a movie. Plus, the ability to balance game and chat audio on the fly is useful for anyone who plays team games – you don’t have to choose between hearing footsteps or your teammates’ callouts. And you can control it all with ASTRO Command Centrer software, which lets you create custom EQ profiles for different games or situations.
If you’re looking for a comfortable headset, Astro has you covered here, too. The earcups are actually comfortable for long sessions (and replaceable when they eventually wear out). Plus, the base station doubles as both a charger and a display stand, so your desk stays tidy. While $150 isn’t exactly cheap for a gaming headset, it’s still a solid deal for something that’ll likely last years longer than budget alternatives. They’re also particularly worth it if you’re tired of replacing cheaper headsets or want to upgrade your gaming audio setup without going full-blown high-class audiophile.
Snag one for you or your favorite gamer for the holidays. Splurging a bit will be more than worth it in the end, especially when you realize how much this headset and its premium features can upgrade your overall gaming battle station.
