That’s a significant saving - one that makes a real dent in the final cost.

That still left us at one of the highest price points on the market, though.

Today’s saving marks real change in the numbers.

That’s because a lot of that price tag is dedicated to the KVM switching functionality of the base.

Directional positioning is on-point, and the soundstage remains richly textured and detailed even in more frantic moments.

Plus, it has one major benefit to top it over the Astro A50 X - Bluetooth.

SteelSeries operates Bluetooth through the headset itself, which means it’s a portable solution for handhelds as well.
