Bro I never comment on videos, but Jesus Christ these setting made my Halo infinite experience 10x better. I thought these astros were a waste of money but after changing it to these setting they sound soooo dope. Thank you so much. I swear I can hear the enemies heartbeats ahahaha
@@Mrtom40 No, basically never use the Dolby button on the headset. It's awful, adds a ton of reverb and makes it much harder to determine where enemies are.
Holy moly! My right ear is about 60-70 percent deaf due to surgeries and I felt hopeless until I found this settings video. I figured I'd give it a shot and immediately tried Apex with your settings. I'm finally able to correctly hear footsteps and know exactly where they're coming from! Thank you so much for this, man! I know it's sounds like I'm exaggerating, but I finally feel free.
@@jxcquizzz The surgery was a 'Radical Mastoidectomy' . Long story short, it really saved my life so I'm grateful. But since the ear drum was beyond repair, it's the reason for my hearing loss. Hearing aids don't help me much either so It can be tough and often times, depressing to deal with. But I know there are people dealing with worse situations so I'm just grateful I can hear at all. 🙏 Thank you for your kind words.
@@N3VURMYND I think the same way. My macula didn't form all the way in my right eye when I was born and it usually happens in both eyes. It's a miracle I have vision in my left eye. On top of that I've had other medical problems. It can be tough, but like you said someone always has it worse. Stay safe and I wish you the best🙏
hi mate, do u use this for like cs:go / warzone? im curious which preset u use if u can share a picture to me or something? and if dolby atmos is worth getting for gaming? my astro a50 arrived today ( PC ) btw
Have you only used astros? I switched over from Arctis 9x and they sound so much more crisp. I d pick up footsteps better but the game sounds so crappy and muffled now
Every now and then I go back to these video to re-configure my headset. Honestly, I don't tend to comment on RUclips but I still haven't found a better sollution for this Headset than to use your settings and recommendations. Awesome job man, thank you very very much, this settings are golden!
I’ve worn Astros since the Xbox 360 days and swear by them. I have never heard them like this. I’m a casual audiophile, so this was very helpful. Thank you! Keep the updates coming. I’m subscribed after this lol
You literally saved me from taking these back to the store. I have a 10yr old pair of astros with a mix amp and i thought it was about time for an upgrade. When i first tried out the new a50s i was very unimpressed. Thanks to your vid the sound quality is now clear and crisp (instead of tinny and weird). The dolby button should be destroyed!
bought my a50's 2 years ago and had the same problems. takes a while to figure out. also my front panel audio connectors had way less interference and had zero static or clipping. its worth trying around with different ports imo.
4:26 you can't see the numbers of each feq, but you can click on each dot and use your up and down keys to move them. i did 4 down for first 4 dots after first then 3 for next then try to match the screen for rest of them works great thanks Dolby Atmos really brings out the sound, specially with the custom profile thanks
Started using your eq settings on my ps4 since i just upgraded to the A50’s. Out of all the eq’s i’ve searched i’m so happy i landed on yours. Prob the best one i’ve tried yet. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
@@santosherrera4305 don't use the Dolby style on the headset, stay on star(IN WARZONE/FPS). I don't know if it's better in any other games, but def not in cod
Well I have to thank you for making this video, I just got a pair of A50s and they didn't sound great at all until updated them to these specs and they sound incredible now! Thanks!
those settings have been a good start for me, but they produced some high pitches in the content i was listening to so i decreased the bandwith of the last one to 1.8 like the others and as personal preference i increased 90hz to -3db and 406hz to -4db
dude i set these for my mic it feels like im actually in the game its soo good and like i watched anime with it it sounded like i was in the movie theaters it was soo surreal
I can't believe I had the dolby light "ON" this whole time... it sounds SO MUCH BETTER off. Definitely not intuitive to set up this headset properly, thanks so much for the video!
Brother i am so thankful for sharing this EQ with us it really help me out getting the most of my Astros A50 4th Gen... both of the set ups are great ... i played a couple of games and i even took adventage of other players... it is amazin now .. i will set up one for movies ... by mysel in the dolby atmost..even tho the movie set up sounds ok.. you are amazing!!!

damn dude i forgot i used the dolby atmos free trial and it SOUNDED AMAZING the trial ran out and completely forgot here we are like 4 years later thanks man its totally worth it
Just set this up on my Series X and I found that it was a little top heavy, so I added a little more bass in the Dolby access and it sounds incredible. The high end based on your settings it so crisp!!!
@@reptar110 By adjusting the EQ settings in Dolby Atmos. I pulled down some of the Top End and increased some of the low end, but kept the frequency ranges as per this tutorial. :)
Thanks for the video. Can say for anyone reading red dead redemption 2 sounds way better. Watched x men 2 on Disney plus and again sounded amazing. Played a a few other games and all sounded way better. Was hearing all kinds of background noises I never noticed before.
just wanted to say thanks. this helped so much. I was so disappointed in the sound of this 300 dollar headset and the presets were horrible. Really appreciate the help.
Question… I’ve recently upgraded my Astro a50 gen 3 to the gen 4’s. And I’ve never used the Dolby Atmos on my gen 3’s. And after watching your video my question is this. With tweaking the the equalizer on the command center and using the Dolby Atmos which one over powers the other? Or does the Dolby Atmos just give you more ability to enhance the sound?
If you do any more EQ do it with directional keys and count how many times you tap the key and post that maybe in the description or comments, obviously don't hold down the directional key but it will give people a better idea as to where its at rather than just a visual reference to match up. Edit: you sort of did that so yeah I think its all good
Not sure if this has already been stated as I haven't read all the comments but I can confirm that Dolby access is to your account and can be used across devices, I first installed it on my Xbox and then on my PC for the one cost. Unless of course they've changed this since I purchased.
Wow, I am so happy I stumbled across this video. I was ready to return my A50 since they sound was horrendous out of the box. Thank you so much for sharing this! Just curious, which frequencies would you recommend changing if I want to adjust bass or treble levels?
Can you make video of settings for a non competitive player who maybe plays different games too, listens to music and watches videos/movies with these same headphones?
Just purchased the a50’s for the series x. Do I have to adjust the settings for the Astro command center also or do I only need to adjust them for the Dolby atmos app?
Turn dolby off don't use dolby some say sound better personally I think I sounds washed out just use command centre and get someone settings or try them yourself
Hi bro! Thank you so much for the video. It is great! Just a question. Are these settings useful for racing games? I have diferent settings, and I tried them with Forza Horizon 5 and sounds regular. The motor sound is not the better.
Hey man . When I use these dolby setting on my a50 , it makes the sound of the weapons firing different . Why is this ? Also do you use the Astro command centre and Dolby atmos presets together ? Or one or the other ?
This is probably a dumb question 🙄 but, will the Dolby Access settings transfer to my PS4 when I reconnect the base station to my console or is that just for PC? Thanks!
sorry quick question on Dolby access do you turn on game "performance mode" under "game" only thing you didn't go into. THANKS! FOR THE VIDEO HELPED ME OUT ALOT... nm answered my own question you have to use one or the other again thx!
he used a custom eq in dolby not the game mode. but if you like the game mode stick with it and turn on performance mode to give you a better 3d audio experience.
had no idea the sounds could change so much. I have no idea how or why this works, is this a good audio file for any games or just COD? thank you for the guide. subbed
I have A50 Gen 3, and I am having an issue. I have no Spacial Audio options. I don't even have Windows native Windows Sonic option. When I set the headset to Voice instead of Game I have spacial audio options, but the Voice option only utilizes 2 channels.
If I get Dolby access and adjust as you've said, then put headphones back on my ps5, will they work with the settings I changed or does it only work on pc?
Thank you for this. I am on my third set of Astro`s now. PC here. Previously had the 2nd gen, then the 3rd gen, which I have had for over 5 years !. Just recently the 3rd gens began to have some issues with the base station, trying to locate the headphones on the pins so that the charging lights would appear. Normal wear and tear I guess. Then I had no lights and no sound. Could be needing to reset them, or could be a battery issue ?, not sure. So to avoid any future issues with my ageing 3rd gen I decided to purchase the 4th gen. The 4th gen has an upgrade to the headphone drivers , so that is a plus point. The software is what it is. The Command Center is ok, but nothing elaborate, but it does work and is sufficient for me. For my PC gaming use I bought the Xbox headphones as it comes with A Dolby Atmos licence. ( apparantley the PS4 version does not have this Dolby Atmos licence, so buyer beware ). The Astro 4th Gen is a 2.4ghz wireless frequency as opposed to my previous 3rd gen which used the 5Ghz wireless range. Normally the 5Ghz range would offer more power, however the 2.4Ghz range offers better battery life and is more than adequate for a reliable connection, so another plus point. Comfort value for me is excellent, nice soft cloth ear pads, as opposed to plastic leatherette on some other brands. Dolby Atmos is really very good, another plus point. As with the previous Astro headphones, mainly a plastic build. I have had no breakages from any of my Astros in the past. They are robust for me, and I have had Astros for more than 8 years. with heavy gaming use and music etc, no problem. Like any expensive headphones, just be respectful in use. The 4th gen are lighter than the 3rd gen, but offer very good comfort. The Astros offer excellent sound quality, always very good !. Really really good !!. Its a pity now that you will not see Astros being advertised much in the usual, ubiquitous gaming websites or hardware web sites. I dont know why, because the Astros are a cut above many other competing top brands. I can say this because I have tried other brands in the past. I always went back to my Astro`s. Honestly I am very pleased with the 4th gen, of course you have to adjust them carefully within the Command Center, and Dolby Atmos settings. Remember also, that your ears wil need to adjust to the new drivers, as the sound is subtely different from my previous 3rd gen. Not negatively, just different, but after a few days of settling into the sound, I love my Astros !!!!!!. Of course the original price was about $319 dollars, now reduced to about $220 dollars, depending where you shop. I think the 4th gen came out about 2019/20, so I expect we may get a 5th gen at some time. it depends on competition and how the hardware markets fair in this financial segement of the 21st century. However my 4th gen Astros will suffice for me. Thank you.
What does each column of hertz represent?? I'm trying to fine tune but really have no idea what the F each column does.. Your video helped but not enough
In properties, the Dolby Atmos option for spatial sound is available when the Astro A50 Voice is selected for output. It's not available when selecting Astro A50 Game as output. Update: It requires an optical audio cord to make it work. Just need to plug into the motherboard's optical audio port and to the "audio in" of the Astro base station. In sound settings, the default output is Digital Output (will be able to select Dolby Atmos) and not Astro A50 Game. Default communication is Astro A50 Voice.
@@shifty25_ Just FYI, you DON'T want it on "Voice" while it sounds a little lounder it is only one channel (not stereo) so it's awful for gaming. Keep it on Game.
FYI, what I've done is, plug in the base station with the optical cable, then set the output device to 'Digital Audio (S/PDIF)(High Definition Audio Device)', and then with Dolby Atmos enabled (the symbol on the base station) you get a fuller directional sound. Maybe it's just me, but with Dolby Atmos turned off, it just sounds awful, like a little man in a box in the middle of a massive hallway.
If you've gotten use to the Dolby Button being on then it would be really weird to adjust to just using the Dolby software like in the video. Theoretically you should have better directional awareness with the setup shown in the video, but what you said about the optical input is completely true. An optical cable is a massive improvement in data transfer speed and quality compared to wireless or that of a 3.5mm jack. I really appreciate your input!
I honestly only found this because I barely noticed my A50's change when I pressed the button, I thought it was broke and ended up finding this instead XD
Are these settings supposed to be exclusive for gaming? Because I followed them and now my music sounds terrible... I'm not looking for a competitive edge in gaming, I just want my games, music, and youtube videos to sound great...Should I be using a different EQ setting? Not trying to hate, just trying to understand.
For anybody wanting Dolby Atmos to work on Astro A50 gen 3s, you need to plug in the optical audio cable to your pc. If you’re like me, you don’t have one on your motherboard config. But you can purchase an audio splitter/converter that plugs into an HDMI port as a work-around and use Atmos. People who purchased the A50 gen 4s are lucky because they don’t have to worry about this issue as Atmos is native with just the USB input for the 2019 generation.
Gen 3 had an update that doesnt require the optical cable, just usb now if u want to use atmos. If you dont want to use atmos u can just plug the optical cable to your tv/monitor if it has one, and just use the astro command centre
@@sc8devoid I heard Astro say that the usb wouldn’t natively support Atmos on Gen 3, therefore it wouldn’t work without an optical cable even if there was an update. Either way, you still need to have the usb cable plugged in. If you don’t want Atmos, you don’t need to have the optical cable plugged in.
@@KeeganBennett update with astro fixed it to work exactly like gen 4, no optical cable needed, they did this specifically so they could work with ps5 and xbox series x/s as they no longer use optical ports. The only difference with atmos between gen 3 and 4 is that gen 4 gets atmos for free, gen 3 have to pay the one off atmos purchase
@@sc8devoid Hmm I’m not sure about console, since I recently switched to pc. But I’ll have to check it out and see if it’s true for my platform. I appreciate the heads up!
I tried this and it doesn’t work for me. I got the Astro hdmi adapter to use since my pc doesn’t have optical port. Didn’t show up in my sound control panel at all and it also limits to 120 hz
is there any way to lower the beeping sound when pressing the dolby button or the EQ button on the headset? its so damn loud for my ears. Not my first headset either. I just find it kind of odd on how loud it is. awesome video btw!
Might be a dumb question but should i have my connection as astro a50 voice or astro a50 game? Or no difference? Thanks! Gonna check out your EQ settings right now.
Are these settings optimal for playing COD Warzone for hearing footsteps, doors opening, people reloading, etc.? Or are these settings meant for just all around game play experience? Thank you in advance.
I personally think these are optimized for it, but everyone's ears are different. I've had people say they're great for it, and some say it's terrible for footsteps. I think the only way to truly know is to test it out. Thanks so much for watching!
I use Wave Link for all my audio lines because I’m stream my gameplay on Twitch. Also I choose Wave Link in Dolby Access at my Headphone or what? I hear no difference when I take it on and off?
Thank you, new to A50 (ps4). I copied your advanced settings but what about the settings previous to advanced? Astro, Pro, Studio etc. Or do those not matter? Thank you kindly.
I'm finding that the "S" sounds with these settings are very "sharp" or noticible (idk how to describe it). Any sugesstions on what to modify in the EQ to make that jump out less?
I found the given Command Center EQ settings to be suuuuper hissy and sharp, so I adjusted it a bit, kept the curves and all that the same, but my base values are now -4,-4,-1,4,4. Cheers!

I use it for everything, I'm glad you like it!!! Thanks so much for watching!
I have A50 Gen 3, and I am having an issue. I have no Spacial Audio options. I don't even have Windows native Windows Sonic option. When I set the headset to Voice instead of Game I have spacial audio options, but the Voice option only utilizes 2 channels.
thx a lot but witch setting do you use in warzone audio setting ? home theatre or boost high.....?
so to get the best out of dolby access you need the subscription or is the free part still just as good?
What audio profile do you use in game for warzone? Boost low?
are you running the fiber optic cable? my motherboard doesnt support the fiber optic. will this work with the usb only?
Hey , does these eq and dolby audio settings save once u connect them to a ps4 , ps5 console?
If I get Dolby access and adjust as you've said, then put headphones back on my ps5, will they work with the settings I changed or does it only work on pc?
Just a quick qeustion : Do you have to keep those application open in order to work ?
which audio do you use in game in warzone home theatre? and which eq setting do you use on the astro headset the second one ?
Thank you for this. I am on my third set of Astro`s now. PC here. Previously had the 2nd gen, then the 3rd gen, which I have had for over 5 years !. Just recently the 3rd gens began to have some issues with the base station, trying to locate the headphones on the pins so that the charging lights would appear. Normal wear and tear I guess. Then I had no lights and no sound. Could be needing to reset them, or could be a battery issue ?, not sure. So to avoid any future issues with my ageing 3rd gen I decided to purchase the 4th gen. The 4th gen has an upgrade to the headphone drivers , so that is a plus point. The software is what it is. The Command Center is ok, but nothing elaborate, but it does work and is sufficient for me. For my PC gaming use I bought the Xbox headphones as it comes with A Dolby Atmos licence. ( apparantley the PS4 version does not have this Dolby Atmos licence, so buyer beware ). The Astro 4th Gen is a 2.4ghz wireless frequency as opposed to my previous 3rd gen which used the 5Ghz wireless range. Normally the 5Ghz range would offer more power, however the 2.4Ghz range offers better battery life and is more than adequate for a reliable connection, so another plus point. Comfort value for me is excellent, nice soft cloth ear pads, as opposed to plastic leatherette on some other brands. Dolby Atmos is really very good, another plus point. As with the previous Astro headphones, mainly a plastic build. I have had no breakages from any of my Astros in the past. They are robust for me, and I have had Astros for more than 8 years. with heavy gaming use and music etc, no problem. Like any expensive headphones, just be respectful in use. The 4th gen are lighter than the 3rd gen, but offer very good comfort. The Astros offer excellent sound quality, always very good !. Really really good !!. Its a pity now that you will not see Astros being advertised much in the usual, ubiquitous gaming websites or hardware web sites. I dont know why, because the Astros are a cut above many other competing top brands. I can say this because I have tried other brands in the past. I always went back to my Astro`s. Honestly I am very pleased with the 4th gen, of course you have to adjust them carefully within the Command Center, and Dolby Atmos settings. Remember also, that your ears wil need to adjust to the new drivers, as the sound is subtely different from my previous 3rd gen. Not negatively, just different, but after a few days of settling into the sound, I love my Astros !!!!!!. Of course the original price was about $319 dollars, now reduced to about $220 dollars, depending where you shop. I think the 4th gen came out about 2019/20, so I expect we may get a 5th gen at some time. it depends on competition and how the hardware markets fair in this financial segement of the 21st century. However my 4th gen Astros will suffice for me. Thank you.
is this setup good for music? if not is there a good setup for music and watching movies?
What does each column of hertz represent?? I'm trying to fine tune but really have no idea what the F each column does.. Your video helped but not enough
are you using the Astro A50 Game or Astro A50 Voice from the windows sound settings please let me know
In properties, the Dolby Atmos option for spatial sound is available when the Astro A50 Voice is selected for output. It's not available when selecting Astro A50 Game as output. Update: It requires an optical audio cord to make it work. Just need to plug into the motherboard's optical audio port and to the "audio in" of the Astro base station. In sound settings, the default output is Digital Output (will be able to select Dolby Atmos) and not Astro A50 Game. Default communication is Astro A50 Voice.
Unreal I had my shit selected to game and now that I put it to voice the sound is incredible
I have legit never heard a headset like this
@@shifty25_ Just FYI, you DON'T want it on "Voice" while it sounds a little lounder it is only one channel (not stereo) so it's awful for gaming. Keep it on Game.
FYI, what I've done is, plug in the base station with the optical cable, then set the output device to 'Digital Audio (S/PDIF)(High Definition Audio Device)', and then with Dolby Atmos enabled (the symbol on the base station) you get a fuller directional sound. Maybe it's just me, but with Dolby Atmos turned off, it just sounds awful, like a little man in a box in the middle of a massive hallway.
If you've gotten use to the Dolby Button being on then it would be really weird to adjust to just using the Dolby software like in the video. Theoretically you should have better directional awareness with the setup shown in the video, but what you said about the optical input is completely true. An optical cable is a massive improvement in data transfer speed and quality compared to wireless or that of a 3.5mm jack. I really appreciate your input!
I honestly only found this because I barely noticed my A50's change when I pressed the button, I thought it was broke and ended up finding this instead XD
Comes with too much base? Really? I find they dont have enough bass
Hey, I use the Astro A50 modkit leather earcups. What would be your reccomended settings for these seeing as they amplify the bass?
Are these settings supposed to be exclusive for gaming? Because I followed them and now my music sounds terrible... I'm not looking for a competitive edge in gaming, I just want my games, music, and youtube videos to sound great...Should I be using a different EQ setting? Not trying to hate, just trying to understand.
thanks for the video! qq for you, how do you increase the bass? thanks
For anybody wanting Dolby Atmos to work on Astro A50 gen 3s, you need to plug in the optical audio cable to your pc. If you’re like me, you don’t have one on your motherboard config. But you can purchase an audio splitter/converter that plugs into an HDMI port as a work-around and use Atmos. People who purchased the A50 gen 4s are lucky because they don’t have to worry about this issue as Atmos is native with just the USB input for the 2019 generation.
Gen 3 had an update that doesnt require the optical cable, just usb now if u want to use atmos. If you dont want to use atmos u can just plug the optical cable to your tv/monitor if it has one, and just use the astro command centre
@@sc8devoid I heard Astro say that the usb wouldn’t natively support Atmos on Gen 3, therefore it wouldn’t work without an optical cable even if there was an update. Either way, you still need to have the usb cable plugged in. If you don’t want Atmos, you don’t need to have the optical cable plugged in.
@@KeeganBennett update with astro fixed it to work exactly like gen 4, no optical cable needed, they did this specifically so they could work with ps5 and xbox series x/s as they no longer use optical ports. The only difference with atmos between gen 3 and 4 is that gen 4 gets atmos for free, gen 3 have to pay the one off atmos purchase
@@sc8devoid Hmm I’m not sure about console, since I recently switched to pc. But I’ll have to check it out and see if it’s true for my platform. I appreciate the heads up!
I tried this and it doesn’t work for me. I got the Astro hdmi adapter to use since my pc doesn’t have optical port. Didn’t show up in my sound control panel at all and it also limits to 120 hz
is there any way to lower the beeping sound when pressing the dolby button or the EQ button on the headset? its so damn loud for my ears. Not my first headset either. I just find it kind of odd on how loud it is. awesome video btw!
thanks man. headsett was so basey, already hear a diffrence. again ty
i have a question, so can i set it up on a pc, do all these fancy settings then use it on my ps5? will my headset save all the settings
Might be a dumb question but should i have my connection as astro a50 voice or astro a50 game? Or no difference? Thanks! Gonna check out your EQ settings right now.
No worries! It should be set to game. Hope it works out! Thanks for watching.
Great video but, I have one question. What about the in game (Warzone) audio settings? Boost Low, Boost High, etc….
Your preference.
High
omg sounds so GOOD, THANK YOU!!
Does Dolby access settings also work for playstation? I wanna know if I just bought this for nothing
I have one recently, got connected with USB, is it beter to use Dolby cable?
Looks like the 5th circle on the Dolby atmos settings is closer to -4 not -1 or -2. Can you confirm by the number of clicks down you go?
If you adjust these settings on the PC will they carry over if you use the A50’s on console ?
Are these settings optimal for playing COD Warzone for hearing footsteps, doors opening, people reloading, etc.? Or are these settings meant for just all around game play experience? Thank you in advance.
I personally think these are optimized for it, but everyone's ears are different. I've had people say they're great for it, and some say it's terrible for footsteps. I think the only way to truly know is to test it out. Thanks so much for watching!
what are your single-player presets?
I use Wave Link for all my audio lines because I’m stream my gameplay on Twitch. Also I choose Wave Link in Dolby Access at my Headphone or what? I hear no difference when I take it on and off?
Could you do a video with best Astro eq settings for horror movies and clear, bass heavy music?
do you have to the optical cable for this?
Thanks just got the headset and friend recommended u really helpful
nice video man, one question, what sound mix use in warzone?
Thanks so much! Use bass boost or keep it off in my opinion.
Do u have any settings for movies or just the same?
Hi, what about for gaming? is it worth getting dolby atmos for gaming too?
might be a dumb question but do I need the dolby optical cord hooked in I assume?
Thank you, new to A50 (ps4). I copied your advanced settings but what about the settings previous to advanced? Astro, Pro, Studio etc. Or do those not matter? Thank you kindly.
hello richard.. how did you get to the eq configuration menu? i never saw anything like that please help
What do you have your audio mix setting for warzone ? Or what do you recommend to use with these settings ?
So, you change EQ in Dolby access on top of the changes you made on Astro Command Center, right?
Do these applications both need to be open every time you play or it saves automatically
I'm finding that the "S" sounds with these settings are very "sharp" or noticible (idk how to describe it). Any sugesstions on what to modify in the EQ to make that jump out less?
I found the given Command Center EQ settings to be suuuuper hissy and sharp, so I adjusted it a bit, kept the curves and all that the same, but my base values are now -4,-4,-1,4,4. Cheers!
Update, now I use Zeference's audiophile-grade presets. They're phenomenal
@@saint-cetacean hello , can you share these presets ?
