Announced today at Logitech G Play 2025, the A20 X is powered by PLAYSYNC AUDIO, letting you connect to two gaming systems simultaneously and switch between them with a single button press. Got two consoles you want to switch between? Done.  Console to PC swapping? Easy. Whether it’s PS5, PS5 PRO, Xbox Series X|S, Switch or another,  A20X is ready for nearly any gaming system. And with Bluetooth, it’s your perfect partner for gaming on the go. Mobile sessions on the bus, in the park, or on the couch? Covered.

Remember that three-day gaming marathon? A20 X was made for those legendary runs, featuring an adjustable suspension headband and lightweight woven fabric for breathability. 

And, for the first time in the ASTRO Series, we’ve brought in RGB lighting magic. With eight programmable zones and a palette of 16 million LIGHTSYNC RGB colors, you can match your headset to your setup, your game, or your mood. Whether you want fiery reds or chill blues, the A20 X has all the vibes.

What about the mic? The A20X features the same mic tech from our A50 X family:

• 48 kHz Full Bandwidth, Broadcast-Quality Mic
• Easy Mute Button with a discreet indicator light just for you (goodbye “you’re muted” chat spam!)
• Detachable mic for those solo RPG marathons

The A20 X mic makes your voice the envy of Discord voice chats everywhere. Sound professional no matter how (or what) you’re playing.

It’s a headset, yes, so sound is the star. And we spared no effort to nail it. With 40mm PRO-G Drivers, air moves faster, sounds hit harder, and every detail sings clearly, just like the developers intended.

And don’t forget MixAmp technology:

• Adjust game and chat levels directly from the headset
• Mute “heated” loud friends with a press of a button 

Want to tweak your voice? Blue VO!CE Technology lets you apply filters or effects to sound smooth, cool, or downright epic. Already angelic? It just makes your voice sound even better. And with onboard DSP (Digital Signal Processing), your ideal audio settings are always with you and ready.

Can’t decide? Check out G HUB presets for fuss-free set-up – just pick one and dive into the action.

Here’s something we’re proud of: A20 X doesn’t just look great for your gaming setup, it’s also better for the planet.

• 27% Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic
• Reduced Single-Use Plastics in the packaging
• FSC-Certified Paper used for the box

Combined, these efforts reduced its carbon impact by 20%. Play for as long as you want, we’ve got the planet in mind.

The A20 X comes in black and white and drops for £169.99 MSRP. Pre-order it today from logitechg.com, or snag it next month wherever you shop for gear.

We’ve redefined console gaming, and we can’t wait to hear all of you in game chat with crystal-clear mics. See you out there, whether you’re climbing ranks, exploring worlds, or just hanging with the squad.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland & SAN JOSE, Calif. - DECEMBER 5th, 2023 - Logitech G, a brand of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, today unveiled the Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset and Base Station, the fifth generation of the critically acclaimed ASTRO A50 Series console gaming headset.

The new ASTRO A5O X is designed to deliver the ultimate console headset experience. With breakthrough innovations in audio and connectivity, the ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset + Base Station features:

●      New PLAYSYNC technology for easy connectivity and switching between the XBOX, PS5 and PC via a single button press

●      PRO-G Graphene Audio Driver technology for high-performance gaming audio

●      24-bit LIGHTSPEED Wireless technology for pro-grade performance on the console

“Over the last decade, the A50 has become an icon in gaming headsets due to its focus on gamer-centric design, premium sound, and superior comfort and durability,” said Ujesh Desai, general manager of Logitech G.  “Our new A50 X elevates this beloved headset with an unmatched level of performance by combining the A50’s award-winning design with several new features and advanced technologies that truly revolutionize gameplay.”

Comfort, sound, connectivity, communications and compatibility are the keys that gamers look for in an audio solution.  The A50 X combines the design of the original A50, a favourite of console gamers everywhere, with four breakthrough innovations in the console headset market.

PLAYSYNC - ONE-CLICK SWITCHING BETWEEN CONSOLE AND PC PLATFORMS

Bringing all systems together, PLAYSYNC Technology is an industry first that allows gamers to connect their Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC/MAC all at once and seamlessly switch between all three gaming systems with the simple ‘one-click’ of a button on the A50 X headset.  When switching between Xbox and PS5 consoles, PLAYSYNC will change what the gamer views on their TV and what is heard in their headset. When switching to PC, PLAYSYNC will change what is heard in the gamer's headset. Allowing gamers to decide and easily switch to the gaming experience they want to enjoy at any moment. 

A50 X is a two-part Base Station and Wireless Headset system that works directly with high-performance game consoles as well as 4K UHD Televisions using HDMI 2.1 technology. Using HDMI, the Base Station directs audio wirelessly to the A50 X Headset, while passing the console’s video through to the TV without impacting the source’s intended fidelity and features such as 4K 120Hz HDR, VRR, and ALLM. The result is high-performance and ultra-low latency video.

Audio signals are also intelligently routed on A50 X; with the headset docked to the Base Station, audio signals along with video will be passed through to the connected TV. When gamers undock the headset, audio signals will be rerouted to the headset automatically, improving convenience and versatility between open or private listening experiences.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE GAMING AUDIO

With sound being such a critical component in gaming, the A50 X’s PRO-G GRAPHENE Audio Driver has been precision-engineered with a 40 mm graphene diaphragm featuring a live edge suspension, to deliver superior audio performance like never before. The new driver delivers improvements in sound reproduction accuracy, time to signal accuracy and distortion reduction, allowing players to identify audio objects more clearly, and more quickly discern their location as objects move relative to the player.

Graphene is a breakthrough material for audio clarity, detail, and spatial timing accuracy. With unprecedented harmonic rigidity, these audio drivers reduce distortion while delivering soaring highs, clear mids and rich bass.

Optimized for the multi-platform player who requires the highest levels of audio and visual fidelity, and demands both style and design excellence, the A50 X headset system is purposefully designed to work with high-performance game consoles using HDMI 2.1 & USB-C connectivity, allowing A50 X to deliver uncompressed audio at up to 24-bit fidelity.

The integrated LED status info panel and the click-in magnetic charging cradle of the A50 X Base Station keeps the headset battery topped off and always at the ready.

LIGHTSPEED WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

Logitech G’s award-winning 24 bit LIGHTSPEED wireless technology is a continuously improving pro-grade solution for quality of sound, reliability in connectivity, and efficiency for epic battery life. The Base Station also features simultaneous Bluetooth® connectivity allowing gamers to mix Discord chat with game audio or listen to music while playing.

FULL BAND HIGH-RESOLUTION 48KHz MICROPHONE

The A50 X is Logitech G’s first headset that comes equipped with an integrated high resolution 16 bit 48 kHz LIGHTSPEED microphone, this additional bandwidth lets the microphone capture a much broader spectrum of sound delivering unrivalled performance, clarity, and quality in a boom microphone.  A50 X lets players control Game/Chat mix on Xbox, PC—and even their PS5, and balance volume between game and chat with on-ear controls.

TOTAL CONTROL

Gamers can optimize and fine tune the gaming audio experience with G HUB on PC and the Logitech G App on iOS/Android devices. Control headset EQ presets or dive deep into the fully parametric EQ. Take advantage of the extended resolution of the microphone and dial in broadcast-quality EQ settings while controlling their environment with noise reduction.

Gamers can set up stream output audio mixing, specify sidetone amount, save custom presets, and more.

PLAY FOR ZERO

The Logitech G ASTRO A50 X LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Headset features parts that include a minimum of 35 percent post-consumer recycled content, and the paper packaging comes from FSC-certified forests. In addition, the A50 X is certified CarbonNeutral®, which means that we finance high-quality certified carbon offsets to reduce the carbon impact of the product to zero.

"ASTRO is the leading player for premium console headsets and is the preferred headset for console esports athletes," said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech G. "It's a perfect complement to Logitech G's focus on PC gaming and we couldn't be more excited; we love the team, the brand and the products. Together, we want to make game play even more fun for gamers everywhere."

Jordan Reiss, co-founder and president of ASTRO, added, “The whole team at ASTRO has always held Logitech and Logitech G products in the highest regard, so I’m ecstatic we are joining forces. ASTRO’s brand strength combined with Logitech G's unrivalled technology and global distribution network is going to bring our products to even more gamers around the world.”

ASTRO, is a pioneer in gaming audio and lifestyle products and has a strong leadership position in the premium end of the global console gaming headset market. ASTRO is best known for its iconic A40 and A50 headsets designed for pro gamers and core enthusiasts. ASTRO’s recently introduced A10 expands the company’s reach in the console headset market, offering the essence of what makes their headsets premium, but at a more broadly accessible price point.

Expected impact on financial results for Fiscal Year 2018

Logitech will purchase ASTRO for $85 million in cash, and the acquisition is expected to close in early August. With the addition of ASTRO, we’re investing in an adjacent gaming market — the console gaming market — to help accelerate the long-term growth of our gaming business. In FY 2018, we expect the acquisition of ASTRO to add approximately two points of growth to the top line, and to be slightly dilutive to the bottom line in the first year, as we integrate the business and invest to expand ASTRO internationally.
