Everything here was like new when I bought it and I was very pleased with the headset itself because it looked like it hasn't even been worn before. The only two issues I ran into while using it was the random disconnects which happened at times where I really didn't need it to happen but there is so much to love about it for me to want to really say anything bad at all. The other issue was the sticky residue from stickers on the base station made it very difficult to clean off along with some deep scratches and scuff. Packaging could have been a bit more more protected but that's the last thing I'll add. These headsets are great and for the price it cannot be beat, the fact that I was able to get one in my hands within two days and get a nice coverage plan for insurance allowed me to rest easy. These are super nice looking and sound really good, I'm honestly surprised that anybody can get their hands on a pair of astro gen 3s these days I feel like you would typically have to over pay but there is alot to enjoy here! I would recommend this. Read full review

First off it says open box but these are definitely used... the slides on the side are stuck and extremely difficult to adjust.. second there seems to be a soda like sticky on the sides with hair stuck to it.. wouldn’t recommend a open box product from this company

I own the previous gen a50s. They were also refurbished. I literally turned that old pair, now 4 years old (to me), off and turned the new ones on while playing the same game. I minimized just long enough to let new software install, etc. The sound quality is amazing. The previous gen was excellent at creating virtual surround sound but didn't really stand out drastically from the g930s I had upgraded from. Well this refurbished set of the new a50s (current gen) definitely stood out from its predecessor in my experience so far. The biggest thing that I have noticed so far is the ability it has of portraying depth. The difference between a few feet away and a field away of a noise is distinguishable easily with these. The others of course could do similar by just making one sound quieter. These do so much more. I dont really know how to explain it other than telling you to try last gen a50s then current gen, one after another; it is absolutely noticeable. Also the effect of location on sounds are more noticeable here as well. Lastly, mine came with the original packaging even though its refurbished! I couldnt be happier with this. Especially for the price. This is an unbeatable deal.Read full review

For gaming headsets this has been the best for me. I tried the high end steelseries and plantronics and they don't really compare sound wise. Battery life is very long, well over 12 hours. Bought this to replace my gen 2 a50s because the charging port broke after like 4 or 5 years and now you just set it down on the charging pad so no more worries about breaking it. Yes you could probably get a bit better sound for the money through actual headphones created for music but I wanted a mic built in to the headset for easy use. I'm not using a desk currently and I don't like standalone mics as they're just more clutter on your desk to get in the way or knocked over.

DO NOT buy this item new! I just received mine a couple of days ago and I have to say it looks and works in like new condition. My pair didnt even have any scratches. Only problem i experienced was with the a50s themselves, however, that arises to wireless interference. I would be aware that you may experience some audio cuts every couple of minutes depending on how many wireless channels you use. I have completely eliminated this problem by disabling my 5ghz channel for wireless. This may be different for everyone. Overall, i would recommend this headset as it functions very well and i am not fond of cables. Again, be cautious if you are not "tech-savvy", as you mad need to do some tinkering to eliminate audio drop outs.
