Logitech G's Astro A50 X is the only wireless gaming headset on the market with a full HDMI 2.1 base station: three HDMI 2.1 ports (two inputs for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, one output to the TV) deliver 4K@120Hz with VRR, ALLM, and HDR passthrough alongside switchable audio between consoles and PC. Three USB-C ports handle the PC LIGHTSPEED audio link plus console audio negotiation. The headset itself charges wirelessly on the base station or over USB-C, with 24 hours of battery life and PRO-G GRAPHENE drivers driving 24-bit/48kHz audio from the PC USB-C port (consoles are capped at 16-bit/48kHz).
