    ASTRO A50 Wireless Headset Trailer was created by our homies down in L.A., WeAreWendel, who’ve done a tremendous job immersing themselves in the ASTRO style. This is our third project working together and the Wendel group continue to blow our minds. Can’t wait to expand on the universe they’ve created. My personal goal: Introduce a female character into the next iteration of the story.

     

    Special thanks to KREWELLA who’ve blessed this video with a special track off of their debut EP, PLAY HARD. You can pick up the album on iTunes.

    We’ve had an overwhelming amount of pre-orders over the last few weeks which validates the incredible effort it took creating the ASTRO A50′s. You have to imagine that their is always a moment of uncertainty when releasing an new and innovative product.

     

    Will people care that we’re using the latest and greatest wireless 5.8 technology, Kleernet? Was shoving an entire MixAmp into the right can of the headset worth it? Will anyone notice the audio improvements and presets we’ve added to the headset since the ASTRO A40′s? Well, according to the pre-orders, our questions were answered. From everyone here at ASTRO Gaming, THANK YOU for supporting our ridiculous ideas. We know you’ll love the ASTRO A50′s.

     

    We are proud to announce that the ASTRO A50 Wireless Headset is available for purchase and SHIPPING NOW. Find out for yourself why IGN says that the ASTRO A50′s have “done the impossible, perfected perfection”. Be one of the first to experience the wireless 5.8 Kleernet technology, fully integrated Dolby 7.1 MixAmp and professionally designed audio presets. Have a look for yourself at the ASTRO A50 product page.

     

     

    I’ll sleep when I’m dead. Two weeks prior, I spoke on a panel at VidCon about video and video games. Last week Xariun and I visited Hank Baskett and friends to celebrate the grand opening of his latest business venture, Performance Gaines training facility. We brought along the talented folks at ThriveForMore to shoot a video with Hank Baskett, his secret gaming lair and training facility. I’m very proud and excited to share this with all of you. Expect to learn more about the project in next weeks blog.

     

     

    After Los Angeles, Xariun and I headed straight to San Diego to meet up with Stanimal and support all of our friends at ComicCon. From Capcom, Ubisoft, IGN and Square Enix all hosted the ASTRO A40 systems in their booths for fans to try out the latest games with full 5.8 Dobly surround sound audio. You can check out some of the photo’s we took at ComicCon over on our Facebook album.

     

    Now I’m hopping on a flight to New York City to kick-off the A50 media tour. While Aron and Bella lock down the west coast, Stanimal and I will be heading back to our hometown to demonstrate what makes the A50′s so special.

     

    Here’s ONS1AUGH7′s review of the ASTRO A50 Wireless Headset.

     

    Last but not least, here’s round two of the ASTRO A50 media round up. Here’s what some popular news outlets are saying.

    Here's a round-up of previews, reviews and behind the scenes goodnesss around the ASTRO A50's.

    We’ve had to keep quiet for two years before we were able to show off the ASTRO A50 wireless system to the public. Not being able to tell your friends and family about the innovative goodness we’ve been tirelessly working on for all that time is almost impossible, especially for someone with a big mouth, like myself.

    It was a long wait and it all came down to E3 2012. The team at ASTRO held meeting after meeting in our private room with countless gaming and tech journalists and personalities. Finally, I can run my mouth.

     

     

    The ASTRO A50 wireless system is HERE. The feedback from E3 was overwhelming. IGN details the product saying the new ASTRO A50′s have, “done the impossible – perfected perfection”. Now that feels good. Here are what other popular outlets reporting on the A50 system.
