    I had the A50 X when they first came out and I had to return it because the new A50 X the Side Tone even when fully maxed out was not loud enough. I couldnt hear myself loudly like I could on the Gen 4s. This caused me to talk louder and my family didnt appreciate me talking louder in the room. This is a problem for me when I am playing Music or a Rhythm game as I need to hear the Music but also want to hear myself too. I noticed that with the A50 X the Boom Mic was not as long as it was on the Gen 4 it was about 1 Inch shorter which could have been what was causing the Side Tone to be less loud too.

    • @BadIntentStreamTechReviews

      Same audio quality on both.
      Most people are better off getting the A50 Gen 5, because the A50 X extra features are pretty niche.
      Even in your case, you still have to swap your monitor input manually (unless it has auto-detect) when going from PC to PS5 and back. It only actually works as an HDMI switcher for Xbox to PS5 and vice versa.

Numerous others had the same issue. (Xbox series x) if that problem is fixed I’d consider giving them another shot because it was the most comfortable headset I’ve worn in my opinion.

      It comes down to if you can actually hear the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit audio. In my experience, I can't.
      It's mostly useful for increasing the dynamic range - which means the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds you can hear. So audio as low as -144 dB can exist in the mix.

      It's actually baffling that they haven't incorporated the removable mic into the a50s. Seeing as it's a pretty well-liked feature of the a40s. At least from what I've gathered.

      @@krasserj4k no one's crying, and it's not a matter of the mic being in the way. It's a matter of aesthetics. Some people like being able to remove to mic in public, or even if they use an external mic at home. If you just thought about it a little before commenting, you'd avoid coming across as a fool. It's such a simple feature that has a existed for over a decade.

I really dont know why, tried several 2.1 hdmi's on my oled monitor and oled tv always the same result. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can change that? If there is no solution i would send it back and get the gen 5. What exactly is the game voice mix?

    • @BadIntentStreamTechReviews
      @BadIntentStreamTechReviews  Месяц назад

      Can't speak on the first part - someone else may have the answer or Logitech support.
      But for the game/voice mix, if you're in a party chat or discord call on PS5 you can hear the game volume and the audio of the people you're talking to at the same time. Game/voice mixing lets you make one or the other louder just by pressing the game or voice button in increments on the headset. It's very convenient, but if you don't VC it's not really important.
