Switching between devices can be done at the push of a button on the dock (included), which features HDMI 2.1 and USB Type-C ports, allowing the A50 X to deliver uncompressed audio with up to 24-bit fidelity.

On consoles via HDMI, the base station routes audio wirelessly to the A50. The result is high-performance video with ultra-low latency. The base also serves to charge the battery of the headphones with a convenient magnetic connection.

The wireless connection is made with the well known Logitech G 24-bit LIGHTSPEED technology. The base also features simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity, allowing players to mix things like Discord chat with in-game audio or listen to music while playing games.
