Before resetting your Astro A50 headset, there are a few things you need to do to ensure a successful reset process. This section will guide you through the preparation steps.

Microphone not working: If your microphone suddenly stops working, resetting your headset might fix the problem. Before you reset, make sure that the microphone is not muted and that it is properly positioned.

Software issues: If your headset is not working properly due to a software issue, resetting it might help.

There is a noticeable difference between the two. Gen 4 has EQ 1 – 3 on the left of the preset instead of a picture of the slider position for the Gen 3.
