Astro A50 (2019) review: Convenience costs money

Expensive as ever, Astro's redesigned A50 nevertheless makes a case for its sticker price with a sleeker charging cradle, a return to the more reliable 2.4GHz band, and a refined audio profile.

Charging cradle is smaller and still very unique ; Switches to the more reliable 2.4GHz band (finally) ; Comfortable and durable
