The A50 Generation 5, now with PLAYSYNC AUDIO, is based on the
same architecture as our award-winning A50 X, offering a
streamlined and versatile feature set tailored for multiplatform
gamers. The new PLAYSYNC AUDIO feature is designed specifically for
players who want to use USB for seamless audio switching between
console and PC platforms and don't require HDMI video
switching.
"The A50 X has quickly become a fan favorite thanks to its
beloved design, premium sound, and advanced PLAYSYNC audio and
video switching technology for the ultimate living room gaming
experience,” said Gabriel Whyel, Head of Marketing for Console and
Cloud, at Logitech G. “Our new A50 Gen 5 features PLAYSYNC AUDIO
that focuses on 3-system audio switching via USB, perfect for
multi-platform gamers who have their consoles and PC connected to
one or more monitors.”
With PLAYSYNC AUDIO, users can connect up to three gaming
systems simultaneously—including Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, and
more—via USB-C and swiftly switch between them with a single button
on the headset. This innovative feature ensures that gamers can
effortlessly transition between their favorite platforms without
any hassle. And, with the A50 Gen 5, users can now connect the
Nintendo Switch in docked mode via USB and use PLAYSYNC AUDIO to
switch between it and their other connected systems.
Unmatched Audio Clarity with PRO-G GRAPHENE Drivers
Equipped with PRO-G GRAPHENE audio drivers, the A50 Gen 5
delivers unprecedented clarity and precision, crucial for total
immersion and in-game decision-making. These advanced drivers
provide a rich, detailed soundscape, allowing gamers to hear every
subtle detail and gain a competitive edge.

highest wireless performance with 24-bit uncompressed LIGHTSPEED
audio technology for the highest levels of clarity and detail.

ensures their gameplay remains smooth and uninterrupted, enhancing

Communication is vital in gaming, and the A50 Gen 5 excels in
this area with its 48 kHz high-resolution microphone. Providing
broadcast-quality sound, the microphone ensures that your voice is
heard with exceptional clarity, making it perfect for team-based
games and live streaming.
Breakthrough Design and Engineering
The A50 Gen 5 + Base Station represents a breakthrough in design
and engineering. Its sleek, modern aesthetic is complemented by
robust construction, ensuring durability and long-lasting
performance. The headset also features premium materials and memory
foam ear cushions, offering maximum comfort during extended gaming

HUB on PC and the Logitech G App on iOS/Android devices. They can
control headset EQ presets or delve into the fully parametric EQ
