You know what's hilarious. The friggin headset just stopped working, I couldn't remember how to fix it, so I watched my own damn video and I am back up and running. Please stop breaking Astro. *For some point of refrence, I made the video a year ago*

[jakubmaszudzinski]

My heart almost stopped when I got this issue and I was just about to ask for replacement. You saved a lot of my time man.

[charlief.]

Bro, I wish I could like this video 10 times. Thank you so much! It fixed the issue. And all that in a 55 second video. You’re the man!

[AlexRayne]

This just saved me $300 in replacing my headphones, I was getting the wrong info for what buttons to press for resetting the headphones, thanks a ton.

[JohnBK]

Thank you! I woke up to this problem this morning after having used and moved my ASTRO A50's last night just fine. I was so scared, and upset. Tried to update on my computer, but kept failing. But this trick did the work. I use my headset for both work from home and gaming. I like the freedom to move around while I'm working, so this is a life saver!

[merystic]

Fixed my issue and more helpful than any of the official online documentation, you are a hero 🙏

[cruzdoggie]

Was so confused why my freshly charged headset wouldn't work - one google search later & you had the best answer - simply put & to the point! Thank you for this!

[ShOoTmExNotHiM]

omg thank you so much. My heart stopped when I couldn’t get them to work. Quick, easy and straight to the point. Thx so much

[rileyallan]

You're an absoltue LEGEND. This issue is still happening in 2024 and you just saved me from having to take it back

[calebazevedo]

You don't know how much you've helped me! Thanks a lot!

[Tarpon]

My many years old set locked up for the first time. This corrected my issue. Thanks for posting!

[TheGreatOswaldini]

I had to watch this with the captions on. Thank you so much you saved my headset

If anyone is having an issue with this fix not working try unplugging the USB from your Xbox and then doing the hard reset and then plugging your USB back into the Xbox oh and by the way I could still charge my headset it would power off it would do everything I just didn't have volume from my Xbox

Hey man I know this video is old but you have one problem with this reset maybe not but your video helped me get my headset working again except I had to do one extra step so I reset it like you did and my audio still wasn't working my headset with a sign I would hear my voice feedback through my mic I would hear the volume you know from The Voice and the game beeping when you turned the volume buttons up and down it still wouldn't work I hard reset my Xbox I tried everything after doing what you said and something told me to unplug the power from the USB from the Xbox and then I hard reset the headset how you explained I plugged it back in and it connected right away and I had volume I think what causes this issue yesterday before I went to bed because I work in the morning I put my headset on my Dock and the volume was still going through and I have my soundbar on and I kept hearing my headset volume so I turn my headset off on my Dock and when I went to turn my Xbox on today and play I had no sound from my Xbox so thanks again but if you did want to edit the video I'm not sure if your issue is different than mine but I had to do the hard reset like you but I had to unplug the USB from my Xbox for this to work thanks again man thanks again man

This legitimately worked for me. I just gotten my A50s in on 2/26. the next day they stopped working. Left them on base to charge for hrs nothing and charged it directly to wall all day still nothing. After watch this video of doing g a hard reset it freaking worked the light came back on. Thank you soo much you saved me the return hassle.

[dazza]

Omg my headset wouldnt turn on or even charge. Was literally about to spend $600 to get a new headset then seen your video. And it worked as soon as i held down those 2 buttons my headset fired up instantly. U man are a bloody life saver

[BradleyxBigs]

Thank God I found this again. Ran into an issue where my headset just stopped working out of nowhere, base station couldn't recognize it and it wouldn't even try to update. Thank You!

[steveroberts]

OK. I got my headset as a hand me up from my son and had the same problem. Firstly I had no idea that there was a game button and voice button on the side of them!!! (I'm a pensioner and not good with technology). Having spent the last 2 hours looking at reviews for new headphones you have now saved me at least £100 so thank you very much. I just now need to google what these extra buttons do.

[EdenAirafyd]

Thank you!! My set would not work, and the dock wouldn't even recognize it. Now it all works great!

[MrGargoylz]

OMG! Thank you! Mine just did this a couple of days ago and I haven't been able to get them working again. I google'd it and only came up with several year old Reddit posts with no fix. Followed your short, simple video and they connected right away!

[smileygamestv]

theres 10 minute videos and looong azz text to fix what this man did in 55 seconds... LEGEND ive been 4 days all over the internet, for you to come with only 55 seconds and fixing my problem lmao thanks a lot
