Pros
- I also very like v3 pro but cannot decide against Astro a 50
- Astro A50 - Super comfy, i enjoyed the music, maybe a lack of detail but a bit more bass to me over the maxwell, but there are lots of EQ options. I've found myself starting to want detail however with my equipment (damn you schiit audio...
Cons
- My current Astro A50's are getting pretty worn and I've had to deal with the non updating BS firmware since they got acquired by Logitech and I have the old ones.
- Have the gpx2 and hd560s and Astro a50 aswell.
- I have been using the A 50s for the past few years and recently switched over to my old steel series headphones I find that the steel series is better for gaming, but I can never accurately find and hear footsteps in games
- I have only had AirPods pros and Astro a50.
- I was now looking at a replacement and based on what I saw and the prices I was looking at Astro A50

Battery on my Astro A50 broke and it can't hold charge for long and it's wired mode doesn't feel that well too. Having to connect headphones to the base station and then base station to pc just creates problems, especially with bad battery.
I’ve been using an Astro A50 for a while now, but after multiple issues with the software and battery (even on my second unit after a return), I think it’s time to move on.
I ended up with Astro A50. The size is huge, the sound good and the mic excellent. Usability is meh until you figure out how to correctly place it on the Dock.

I've found myself starting to want detail however with my equipment (damn you schiit audio and the bifrost 2/64). You will have to live with having a dock on your desk. Comes with atmos license if you care.
