- Mic monitoring as standard (you can turn that off)
- Stylish looks
- Dual connectivity means you can listen to music on your phone and game at the same time
Low lights:
- Mic is finnicky on PC apparently
- Ear cups can possibly be a bit tight for larger ears
- USB-C is only for charging, not audio

Astro A50 Wireless
My favourite wireless headset for PC. It's not as robust as the G Pro X Wireless in terms of build quality, but it's comfortable and convenient. The charging base station makes it dead simple to charge and use and it has great sound and features too. The base station also means you can plug in other devices including an Xbox or PS4 as well as 3.5mm or optical devices and it'll work with the GoXLR (for example).
