Question Switching from A40 Gen 1 to A50 Gen 5 - Spatial Audio & Soundstage Issues

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently made the jump from my trusty A40s (16 year old died on my this week ;'( best headset ever) to the new A50 Gen 5s, and I'm having a hard time adjusting to the spatial sound.

With the A50s, the soundstage feels incredibly close and narrow, and I'm really struggling to distinguish between sounds in front of me versus behind me. It doesn't feel nearly as open or precise as my old A40s.

Also, I'm a bit torn on the software side should I be using Windows Sonic for Headphones, i heard it gave a better sound stage for gaming, or Dolby Atmos for the best imaging and directional cues with this headset?

Any advice on settings or configurations to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Question Lights on A50x dock

It’s always like this. That one dot is bright and the rest are dim. The headset does get fully charged and work fine, but the doc lights are stuck.

Any ideas? It still works fine but it hurts my brain looking at it.

Also the Xbox light is the dimmest, pc is a little brighter, and PS is full bright.

Question Can I link another set of Astro A50 Gen 5 to my base?

0 Upvotes

Can I use two Astro A50 Gen 5 headsets with one base station?

I want to use my original headset until it dies, then switch to a second headset without buying another base.

Has anyone tried this? Can you pair a second headset to the same base station, or is each headset locked to its original base?

Anything helps, thanks!
