We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a simple, no-fuss braided replacement cable with inline mute and volume control for a Logitech gaming headset, choose Dpofirs G Pro X; if you need a multifunction cable that also adds a working inline microphone and call controls for an Astro headset on Xbox, PC or mobile, choose Tobysome A50.
• Dpofirs G Pro X — biggest strength: a 6.6 ft braided, oxygen-copper cable with mute and volume buttons right on the wire, made for Logitech G Pro / G Pro X / G433 / G233.
• Dpofirs G Pro X — biggest trade-off: it is a straight replacement cord only. No inline mic, no call button, and it will not fit Astro headsets.
• Tobysome A50 — biggest strength: a 6.6 ft cable with a volume wheel, inline mic, mute button and call pickup/hangup button, built for Astro A10/A20/A30/A40/A40TR/A50 and Xbox One controllers.
• Tobysome A50 — biggest trade-off: it is fussier to use. You have to flip the A/B switch correctly, and the inline mic only takes over when the switch sits in the B position.
• Who each pick is for: Dpofirs if you own a Logitech headset and just want clean audio plus on-cable volume and mute. Tobysome if you own an Astro headset and want voice chat and phone calls handled by the cable itself.
The Dpofirs G Pro X is a single-purpose product, and that is its whole appeal. It is a 200 cm (6.6 ft) replacement headset cable with a 3.5 mm male-to-male AUX connector, black braided jacket, and inline mute and volume controls. The conductors are oxygen copper, which the spec sheet ties to improved gaming sound, and the braided outer layer is there to resist compression and stretching — the two things that kill thin rubber cables over a couple of years of daily plugging and unplugging.
In my opinion this is the cable for someone who already owns a Logitech G Pro, G Pro X, G433 or G233 and whose original cord has frayed, developed a crackle, or gone missing. The inline controls sit on the cable itself, so you can mute yourself or nudge the volume without alt-tabbing into Windows or reaching for an amp. The 6.6 ft length is genuinely useful: it reaches from a desktop tower or a console controller to a chair without pulling tight, and it is long enough for couch use or a laptop across the room.
Tobysome A50: Who It's For
The Tobysome A50 is the more ambitious cable of the two. It is a 2 m (6.6 ft) replacement audio cord with a 3.5 mm male-to-male AUX connector and seven pins, aimed at Astro A10, A20, A30, A40, A40TR and A50 headsets, plus Xbox One controllers, MixAmps, PCs and Macs with a combined mic/headphone jack. The spec sheet describes super core wire and gold-plated contacts for clean, lossless stereo transmission.
What separates it from a plain cord is the control pod: a volume wheel, an inline microphone, a mute button, and a call pickup/hangup button. There is also an A/B switch, and this is the detail that matters most. Position A routes audio to your headset's own microphone. Position B activates the microphone built into the cable itself — and B is also the position you need for the cable to control your phone or music device. So if you want to answer a call or adjust volume on a phone, the switch has to be on B.
I recommend the Tobysome A50 for two kinds of buyers. First, Astro owners who lost or damaged the original cable and want the same chat-and-volume functionality back, including Xbox One controller use. Second, people who want to plug a gaming headset into a phone or laptop for music and calls — with the inline mic live, the headset effectively becomes a headset-phone hybrid on the go.
The trade-offs are real, though. The A/B switch is a genuine learning curve, and if you leave it in the wrong position your mic will not work the way you expect. The seven-pin design and the Astro-focused compatibility list mean it is not a universal cable; it is the wrong pick for a Logitech headset, and it is overkill if you only ever need volume and mute.
• Best for Logitech G Pro / G Pro X / G433 / G233 owners → Dpofirs G Pro X. Compatibility is stated directly on the sheet.
• Best for Astro A10/A20/A30/A40/A40TR/A50 owners → Tobysome A50. It is built around that ecosystem, including MixAmp setups.
• Best for Xbox One controller use → Tobysome A50. The sheet explicitly lists Xbox One controllers as a target.
• Best for voice chat and phone calls through the cable → Tobysome A50. The inline mic and call pickup/hangup button are the deciding features.
• Best for simple on-cable volume and mute → Dpofirs G Pro X. Two controls, nothing to configure.
• Best for durability and cable feel → Dpofirs G Pro X. The braided jacket and oxygen copper are its headline design points.
• Best for the shortest learning curve → Dpofirs G Pro X. No A/B switch, no position rules.
• Best for use with a phone or music device → Tobysome A50. Just remember the switch must be on B for cable-side control.
Both cables share the same fundamentals: 3.5 mm male-to-male AUX, roughly 6.6 ft, black, sold as a single unit. The split is entirely about headset brand and how much control you want on the wire.
If I owned a Logitech G Pro or G Pro X and just needed a dependable cord with mute and volume on it, I would buy the Dpofirs G Pro X. It does one job, the braided build is the right call for a cable that gets yanked around, and there is nothing to misconfigure.
If I owned an Astro headset — especially one I also use on an Xbox One controller or with a phone — I would buy the Tobysome A50 instead. The inline mic and call button are features the Dpofirs simply does not have, and for Astro owners they are the difference between a cable and a full replacement for the original.
No. The compatibility list names Logitech G Pro, G Pro X, G433 and G233 only. If you have an Astro A10, A20, A30, A40, A40TR or A50, the Tobysome A50 is the matching cable.
Yes. It has an inline mic plus a mute button and a call pickup/hangup button. The A/B switch controls which mic is active — A for your headset's mic, B for the inline mic, and B is also required for the cable to control your phone or music device.
The Dpofirs G Pro X, in my opinion. Mute and volume are on the wire with no switch positions to think about. The Tobysome A50 has a volume wheel too, but its extra functions add steps.
Match it to your headset brand first, then to your needs. Logitech headset, no mic needed — Dpofirs. Astro headset, or you want chat and call control on the cable — Tobysome. Before ordering either, check the current price on Amazon and confirm your exact model number.
