Astro A50: A Hedgie Review


KSI Hedgie 7

Recommended Posts

Astros A50, the premier gaming/entertainment headset. Astro has defiantly made a name for themself for gamers of all consoles and the PC, if you’re planning on gaining an extra edge over the competition or are tired of the hassle of a weird headset and don’t mind paying a very steep $300, than Astro A50’s are defiantly your headset. It doesn’t take much effort to improve the gaming experience with new technology coming out on the market every year and wireless anything has there faults with response time and battery life just to name a few. Owning a pair of A40’s was personally the most amazing experience with a headset, something so simple as a change from the original Xbox 360 headset to an elite pair of Astro’s was and still is an experience I will never forget. When I was in the market for a headset a few summers ago, I laid my eyes on a very expensive ($249.99 MSRP) pair of Astro A40, money well spent in my opinion. The only problem with weird headsets is they are uncomfortable to use. Having the A50’s cannot only keep up with other popular wired headphones but can raise the bar for audio quality in not just the gaming market but for entertainment purposes. The Astro A50’s are not completely wireless with the Xbox 360 but are with the Play Station 3 because of the fact that the PS3 utilizes Blue Tooth technology which in turn to chat with friends on the Xbox 360, a talk back cable is necessary. To mute the microphone, you simply rotate the microphone up to the top pad of the headset itself; right side ear cup is two individual volume buttons that control most of the headset’s functions and services as the mix amp. The holiday season is around the corner and if you’re in the market for a high-end gaming/entertainment that is wireless and you don’t mind paying $300 for a headset. Astro A50’s are defiantly worth buying.

Astros A50,[is Astro the brand name? Or is it Astros? Is the headset called Astros A50? If it is a name, you are missing the apostrophe. I recommend rephrasing how you name it.] the premier gaming/entertainment headset. Astro has defiantly made a name for themselves for gamers of all consoles and the PC [For the pc, eh? Do you have something to reference for this?], if you’re planning on gaining an extra edge over the competition or are tired of the hassle of a weird headset [What do you mean by weird?] and don’t mind paying a very steep $300, than Astro A50’s [Note: See first sentence. Also, it isn't "A50's" unless it is possessive. Drop the apostrophe in this case.] are defiantly [defiantly? I don't think they are defiant. Small typo. "Definitely"] your headset. It doesn’t take much effort to improve the gaming experience with new technology coming out on the market every year and wireless anything has there faults with response time and battery life just to name a few. [A few things here. "Wireless anything?" Really? "Anything wireless". "there" should be "their", assuming you want to keep it like that. Response time and battery life. That is all that you are naming here to write off any wireless device. Battery life isn't a con. I use a wireless headset, the response time is about on par with wired headsets. It isn't large enough to make a big difference. Battery life isn't really an issue, when you consider the freedom of being able to walk around and move without being attached by a cord. That is why people usually buy wireless. If you are talking about improving the "gaming experience" you should consider what the "gaming experience" involves. It is different for every person, and for some "improving" it, means going wireless. Ultimately, I feel you should rephrase this sentence, and put a bit more thought into how you want to phrase it.] Owning a pair of A40’s was personally the most amazing experience with a headset, something so simple as a change from the original Xbox 360 headset to an elite pair of Astro’s was and still is an experience I will never forget. When I was in the market for a headset a few summers ago, I laid my eyes on a very expensive ($249.99 MSRP) [What's MSRP?] pair of Astro A40 [Talking about a pair (plural), means you add an 's' at the end], money well spent in my opinion. The only problem with weird headsets [Again, what do you mean by weird?] is they are uncomfortable to use. Having the A50’s [what quality does the A50 have that you keep doing 's?] cannot only keep up [this makes no sense, given the beginning of your sentence.] with other popular wired headphones but can raise the bar for audio quality in not just the gaming market but for entertainment purposes.[You are missing a comma or two. That sentence is fairly long, and you use 'but' twice. You need to use commas, or revise how you write it.] The Astro A50’s [Again, see previous.] are not completely wireless [i thought they were wired? Here you say the are wireless. Which are they? If they are wireless, don't bash wireless headsets up above.] with the Xbox 360 but are with the Play Station 3 because of the fact that the PS3 utilizes Blue Tooth technology which in turn to chat with friends on the Xbox 360, a talk back cable is necessary.[More commas needed in there. I suggest reading each sentence out loud. Consider how you say it. If you stopping for a slight pause, use a comma.] To mute the microphone, you simply rotate the microphone up to the top pad of the headset itself; right side ear cup is [semi-colons (;) are only used to combine two sentences. "Right side ear cup is" is not the proper start of a sentence. It actually makes no sense at all.] two individual volume buttons that control most of the headset’s functions and services as the mix amp. [What is the mix amp? That seems odd. Rephrase the sentence and write it better. The sentence just does not make sense. I have a general idea of what you are trying to say, but that isn't coming through with what you are actually saying.] The holiday season is around the corner and if you’re in the market for a high-end gaming/entertainment [high-end gaming/entertainment what? Missing a word here.] that is wireless [so, it IS wireless. Then what are you talking about in the beginning of this article?] and you don’t mind paying $300 for a headset. Astro A50’s [see previous.] are defiantly [see previous.] worth buying.

when/if this goes on the global website, please do not put "hedgie review" "creamy review" It's unprofessional considering you are not an expert in the field of astro's, gaming reviews or gaming headsets. I would not put Christianity: twahl review since I am not an expert in the field of that or a pope/father/etc

Stick to something relating to the headset. Astro Gaming Headset: A50 or something to that effect.

Astros A50,("Astro A50 Wireless Headset" the actual headset) (is) the premier gaming/entertainment headset.(premier compared to what? Turtle Beach? Tritton? Also say gamers acknowledge the Astro A50 as the premier.

A review is taking a product and talking about the positives, the negatives, the quality, the price, compare to other CURRENT model company headsets, giving it a final grade and calling it a wrap. You turned it into a story about your old A40's in the middle then went back to A50's.

http://www.ign.com/a...ro-a50-hands-on this was a review done by ING. Take a look at this and then look at yours. You need to take out that whole thing on A40's.

Astro A50, the premier gaming/entertainment headset. Astro has defiantly made a name for themself for gamers of all consoles, if you’re planning on gaining an extra edge over the competition or are tired of the hassle of a wired headset and don’t mind paying a very steep $300, than Astro A50 are definitely your headset. It doesn’t take much effort to improve the gaming experience with new technology coming out on the market every year and most wireless devices have their faults with response time and battery life. I personal believe that battery life is a con because of the fact that some gamer’s play for seven hours strait and the usual wireless headsets battery life runs well short. Owning a pair of A40’s was personally the most amazing experience with a headset, something so simple as a change from the original Xbox 360 headset to an elite pair of Astro’s was and still is an experience I will never forget. When I was in the market for a headset a few summers ago, I laid my eyes on a very expensive $249.99 Astro A40 headset, money well spent in my opinion. The only problem with wired headsets is they are uncomfortable to use. Having the A50 cannot only keep up with other popular wired headphones but can raise the bar for audio quality in not just the gaming market but for entertainment purposes. The truth about Astro A50 are not completely wireless with the Xbox 360, but are truly wireless for the Play Station 3.The PS3 utilizes Blue Tooth technology which in turn to chat with friends on the Xbox 360, a talk back cable is necessary. It can be confusing to a new consumer when no headset is free of wires exception of charging the battery itself. To define the gaming experience one must know the gaming experience in itself. Gaming experience for me personally is not the feeling of wires all over you and the ability to just let loose and have fun. The holiday season is around the corner and if you’re in the market for a high-end gaming/entertainment headset that is mostly wireless and you don’t mind paying $300 for a headset. Astro A50 is definitely worth buying.

I would like the title to be, "Astro A50: Review".

Astro A50, the premier gaming/entertainment headset.[This sentence isn't finished. Add more to it, or change it.] Astro has defiantly [Definitely.] made a name for themself [Themselves.] for gamers of all consoles, if you’re planning on gaining an extra edge over the competition or are tired of the hassle of a wired headset and don’t mind paying a very steep $300, than [Then.] Astro A50 [What is the actual name of the headset. Astro is the brand, right? So what is the name? ] are [These are, this is. You write it as singular, so don't use a plural article. Alternatively, fix what you call it.] definitely your headset. It doesn’t take much effort to improve the gaming experience with new technology coming out on the market every year and most wireless devices have their faults with response time and battery life. I personal [personally] believe that battery life is a con because of the fact that some gamer’s [gamers. Why put an apostrophe?] play for seven hours strait [this is the wrong type of straight.] and the usual wireless headsets battery life runs well short. Owning a pair of A40’s was personally the most amazing experience with a headset, something so simple as a change from the original Xbox 360 headset to an elite pair of Astro’s was and still is an experience I will never forget. [As twahl said, why are you mentioning the A40 here?] When I was in the market for a headset a few summers ago, I laid my eyes on a very expensive $249.99 Astro A40 headset, money well spent in my opinion. The only problem with wired headsets is [that] they are uncomfortable to use. Having the A50 cannot only keep up with [This makes no sense, as it is written. Refer to previous edits.] other popular wired headphones [You are comparing a wireless to a wired; this is on top of bashing wireless devices. but can raise the bar for audio quality in not just the gaming market but for entertainment purposes. The truth about Astro A50 are [Revise how you name it, or don't use 'are' here.] not completely wireless with the Xbox 360, [this sentence doesn't make sense as you have written it.] but are truly wireless for the Play Station 3.The PS3 utilizes Blue Tooth technology which in turn to chat with friends [italicized part makes no sense. Read just that part out loud. "which in turn to chat with friends" Really? There are other ways to write it that are more coherent. If you need assistance, ask.] on the Xbox 360, a talk back cable [a talk back cable? really? What is that?] is necessary. It can be confusing to a new consumer when no headset is free of wires exception of charging the battery itself. To define the gaming experience one must know the gaming experience in itself. Gaming experience for me personally is not the feeling of wires all over you and the ability to just let loose and have fun. The holiday season is around the corner and if you’re in the market for a high-end gaming/entertainment headset that is mostly wireless and you don’t mind paying $300 for a headset. Astro A50 is definitely worth buying.[see, here you use 'is'.]

I would like the title to be, "Astro A50: Review". [Then change it to that.]

Ok, my major issues here are that A. You seem to ignore at least half of what twahl and I said in our edits. B. You keep on writing 'Astro A50'. That is like saying "Microsoft's Xbox 360". When talking about the Xbox 360. Most people just say 'the 360' or 'the xbox 360' They don't say "I'm going to go play on my Microsoft's Xbox 360." "My Microsoft's Xbox 360 is really great. I have a lot of games I can play on it. The Microsoft's Xbox 360 is an excellent gift. Microsoft's Xbox 360 is this, that, and the other thing. X, Y, and Z Microsoft's Xbox 360." Do you understand what I mean? That is what reading your article is like. No one talks like that. It's the A50s, or the A50. The A50 I'm sure is an excellent headset, but you are going to have trouble conveying that to your readers unless you actually read all of what twahl and I say in our edits, think about what we are saying and what we actually mean by it, and then, after reflecting on it, proceed to write a better article. Writing the same article, with the same mistakes, just shows you do not take this seriously, and are ignoring what the editors say.
