Logitech just released its newest A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Headset, and at first glance, this could end up being the audio headset every gamer/streamer should have. Why? The reason is quite obvious: A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Headset can connect to all of your gaming devices at once.
This means that the headset will connect to your gaming PC, Xbox, or PlayStation at the same time, and when you feel like switching from one to the other, you just press a button, and that’s it: your audio input changes seamlessly.
Made to play with groundbreaking PLAYSYNC. Connect to Xbox + PS5 + PC/mac at once and tap through all 3 systems. PRO-G GRAPHENE audio drivers achieve unprecedented clarity and response. LIGHTSPEED enables the highest levels of wireless audio performance.

The headset could be perfect for those gamers who use multiple devices when they play: A50 X LIGHTSPEED support connection to:
- Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One consoles
- PlayStation® 4 or 5 consoles
- PC with Windows 10/11
- Mac OS 13 and above
A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Headset: Perfect for gamers, expensive for casual gaming
The headset comes in two colors: black and white, and a battery life that will last approximately 24 hours of playtime. The specs for it are quite impressive, as you can see below:
PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS | Weight: 363 grams |
HDMI 2.1 PASSTHRU | 3x HDMI 2.1 ports 40 Gbps bandwidth Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) Up to 24 bit Audio |
USB-AUDIO | 1x up to 24 bit/48 kHz (PC) 2x up to 16 bit/48 kHz (console) |
HEADSET | 363 grams Drivers: 40 mm PRO-G GRAPHENE Frequency Response: 20-20,000 Hz Dolby Atmos + Windows Sonic Spatial Audio Compatible 3D Audio on PS5 |
MICROPHONE | Pick up pattern: Omnidirectional Frequency Response: 60-20,000 Hz Sampling rate: up to 16 bit/48KHz |
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY | LIGHTSPEED Wireless @ 24 bit/48 kHz Up to 15 meter range via LIGHTSPEED |
The specs are indeed impressive, and a professional gamer/streamer would benefit from the versatile setup of the A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Headset, no doubt.
However, the price is quite high, and while it could end up being a must-have for every professional gamer/streamer out there, the price might discourage casual gamers from purchasing this thing.
It costs €399,00 in Europe and $379.00 in the US region, which is fairly high. However, Logitech promises quality and durability, so it might be worth it in the end.
While many users are not entirely concerned about the price, some non-ironically noted that the device costs as much as a current-gen console.
That’s a current gen console.
So, if you want to purchase this as a Christmas gift, you might as well buy an Xbox Series S console, or go for cheaper and more pleasing products, such as these console wraps, or Xbox controllers.
What do you think about it? Is it worth it or not?
