#79 Logitech G Astro A50 Gen 5: $259.00 Wireless Amazon $259.00 eBay
Pros: A wireless gaming headset at about $259 with a LIGHTSPEED base station that switches between three consoles or PCs, Bluetooth mixing and 24 hours of battery, and a preference score of 86. Bass and midrange stay within about 1.5 dB of target.
Cons: Presence is 2.6 dB low and a 12 dB dip near 9.4 kHz takes the air out of treble, so detail sounds a bit muted. There is no ANC and no 3.5 mm jack, it weighs 363 g, and the score rests on a single measurement.
Is the Logitech G Astro A50 Gen 5 right for you?
Buy it if
- you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 86).
- you are sensitive to bright or sharp treble (treble sits 3.3 dB below target).
Skip it if
- you want more bass (about 2 dB below target).
- you want the best value: the higher-rated Kiwi Ears x Z Reviews Serene costs about $148 less.

Frequency Response
How the Logitech G Astro A50 Gen 5 measures across the audible range, against the Harman over-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is a single measurement, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: a single measurement from the squig.link database of gadgetrytech. Thanks to them for publishing their work.
