The Astro A50 is a wonderful headset, but some may find the stock pads too small, or simply too worn out. The new StealthZ pads fix both of those issues, with improved comfort and durability, without taking away from the breathable fabric you are used to. As always, when you change pads, the sound changes! Be sure to follow the EQ guide in the video, or import my presets using G Hub (search Stealthz) or downloading the Astro EQ files below if you use Command Center with the older Gen 4.
