Astro A50 Gen 5 Review - What Gamers Asked For

The Astro A50X came out nearly a year ago, and had very high expectations. Not everyone wanted the HDMI switching support, or the price that came with it, so Astro has released the Gen 5 version. In this review, I cover what is similar between both, and help explain why you may want one version over the other.
