The subreddit dedicated to Astro has tons of complaints about these headphones from the headband failing with time, to constant disconnection issues, charging mechanism failing, etc.

If you got this Astro for PS5 you might need the ps adapter(cost around $30 on ebay) otherwise you will lose presets better sound and chat/game balance, if you got lost just search on yt, is not that hard and you will need to do it just the first time
I had to manually update the firmware to the headset to fix software communication issues. This wasn't hard to do but it's not straightforward, either. I wouldn't expect a normal consumer to be able to do this.
The headband does fail. It flexes too much and the screws inevitably pop out every 2 months. I have 2 zip ties on my headband but I look like an alien now so it's cool.
The microphone quality is lacking. There's no way to increase bitrate for it, but the excuse is that this is to preserve battery life.
I bought the latest AX50s (arriving tomorrow) and am looking forward to improvements in all of these areas.
