Logitech’s Sleek New Astro A50 X McLaren Edition Gaming Headset Is Now Available

Functionally, the Astro A50 X McLaren Edition is the same top-tier set of cans that has secured itself as one of the best gaming headsets for racing sims on the market, but this unique crossover version sports McLaren’s iconic papaya orange alongside multiple instances of the brand’s logo and font. Even its dock is decked out, ensuring that McLaren fans are getting the full papaya-drenched experience.

Anyway, whether you’re a McLaren diehard excited to rep the brand, or you’re just smitten with the quirky orange (papaya) colorway, you’ll need to be prepared to drop a pretty penny on this new version of the Astro A50 X. At $429.99, it’s $30 more than the black or white versions of the headset, pushing it even further into the premium space. That being said, if you’re already comfortable with spending big on a high-end headset, that slight upcharge is likely to hurt less.

If you’re interested in picking up an Astro A50 X McLaren Edition, you can do so at the official Logitech website or at Best Buy. Logitech is offering a free snapback hat and a sleek carrying case with any purchase of the headset, while Best Buy has slightly faster shipping times but only offers a month of Discord Nitro when buying from its website. However, if you’re not interested in the hat or carrying case, Best Buy also has no interest financing if paid within 12 months when using a My Best Buy credit card.

Regardless of where you buy the new Astro A50 X McLaren Edition, though, you’ll be able to rest assured you’re investing in a rock-solid headset with high-quality audio and the ability to switch between platforms at any time with a simple button press.

Logitech has also announced a variety of other McLaren-branded products, including a full racing sim setup for those seeking an authentic experience when playing racing titles. And yes, they all rock that same papaya orange.
