We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a longer replacement cable with a built-in call button for phone use on the go, choose Tobysome A50; if you need a cable with a true inline mute switch and dual jack sizes for a MixAmp or PC splitter, choose Toeasor Replacement A50.
• Tobysome A50 — biggest strength: a 6.6-foot cable with a volume wheel, inline mic, mute button and a call pickup/hangup button, so it doubles as a phone cable for your Astro headset.
• Tobysome A50 — biggest trade-off: its two modes (A for the headset mic, B for the inline mic) mean you have to remember which position to flip to before device controls will work.
• Toeasor Replacement A50 — biggest strength: a dedicated inline mute switch with a visible red mark, plus two different jack sizes (4-pole and 5-pole) that fit both a headset and a MixAmp Pro or PC splitter cleanly.
• Toeasor Replacement A50 — biggest trade-off: shorter on flexibility for phone-style use — there is no call pickup/hangup button listed, and its mode switch sits on the back of the module, so it is a gaming-first cable.
• Who each pick is for: Tobysome A50 for someone who splits time between console gaming and mobile calls or music; Toeasor Replacement A50 for someone who mostly games with an amp, splitter or console and wants mute control at their fingertips.
The Tobysome A50 is a 2-meter (about 6.6-foot) AUX cable built to replace a lost or damaged Astro cable. It carries a volume wheel, an inline microphone, a mute button and a call pickup/hangup button — a combination that tells you this cable was designed for more than sitting at a desk. The length matters here: 6.6 feet is enough slack to move around a living room, sit back on a couch, or plug into a controller without the cable tugging at your head.
What it does best is bridge two jobs. On a console or MixAmp, it connects your A10, A20, A30, A40, A40TR or A50 headset and gives you volume and mute at the cable. Flip the switch to the B position, though, and the inline mic takes over — which is what lets you use the headset with a phone or music device and control calls from the cable itself. The specs also call out gold-plated connectors and a super core wire for clean, lossless stereo transmission, and 7 pins in a male-to-male AUX build.
Toeasor Replacement A50: Who It's For
The Toeasor Replacement A50 is a purpose-built gaming cable. Its headline feature is the inline mute — a physical switch you push, with a red mark that shows mute-on and disappears when mute is off. That is the kind of detail that matters mid-match: you can kill your mic without hunting for a software toggle, and you can see at a glance whether you are live.
The second thing that sets it apart is the jack arrangement. It runs a 5-pole 3.5mm jack into the headset and a 4-pole 3.5mm jack into the MixAmp Pro or a PC splitter. If you have ever bought a replacement cable that only half-fit your setup, you know why this matters. Gold-plated connectors and oxygen-free copper are listed for conductivity and reduced signal loss, and the build is described as stronger and more durable than an ordinary cable. The inline module also handles volume via a wheel, pauses with one press, and skips tracks with a quick double press.
The mode switch on the back of the module splits use cases cleanly: Mode A for Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC gaming; Mode B for mobile calls and music. Compatibility covers Astro A10, A40, A50 and G633 headsets, plus PS4, PS5, Xbox One, MixAmp, PC and Mac. It is also listed as tangle-free, and it ships with a 12-month warranty.
I recommend this one for the dedicated console or PC gamer who wants mute and volume right on the cable and needs the 4-pole/5-pole split to reach their amp or splitter. If you mostly want to use your headset as a phone headset with call controls, the Tobysome is the better match.
• Best for cable length and couch gaming → Tobysome A50. Its 6.6-foot run gives you noticeably more room than a short stock-style cord.
• Best for inline mute control → Toeasor Replacement A50. The push-to-mute switch with a red visible marker is the most direct mute setup of the two.
• Best for MixAmp Pro and PC splitter setups → Toeasor Replacement A50. The separate 5-pole headset jack and 4-pole device jack are made exactly for that chain.
• Best for phone calls and music on the go → Tobysome A50. The call pickup/hangup button and inline mic in mode B are built for mobile use.
• Best for console gaming (Xbox, PS4, Switch) → Toeasor Replacement A50. Mode A is explicitly recommended for those platforms.
• Best for quick track control → Toeasor Replacement A50. One press to pause, two quick presses to skip, right on the module.
• Best for a wider compatibility list on paper → Tobysome A50. It lists A10/A20/A30/A50/A40/A40TR, Xbox One controllers, MixAmp, PC and Mac, plus several Amazon Fire tablet generations.
• Best for peace of mind on the build → Toeasor Replacement A50. Oxygen-free copper, gold plating and a 12-month warranty are spelled out.
• Best for switching between gaming and mobile in one cable → Tobysome A50. The A/B switch does the job, as long as you remember mode B is required for device control.
If I were buying for myself, I would take the Toeasor Replacement A50. In my opinion, the combination of a real push-to-mute switch with a visible red indicator and the 4-pole/5-pole jack split is the more useful package for actual gaming — especially if you run a MixAmp Pro or PC splitter. The Tobysome A50 is the better pick only if you genuinely want call controls on the cable and a longer 6.6-foot run. Neither is a wrong answer; it comes down to whether your headset lives on a console or in your pocket. Check the current price on Amazon before you decide, since both sit in the budget-replacement category.
No. Both are AUX replacement cables for Astro A10/A40/A50-family headsets with volume control and a mic, but they differ in the details. Tobysome uses a single 7-pin male-to-male build with a call button and a 6.6-foot length; Toeasor uses a 5-pole headset jack plus a 4-pole device jack, a push-to-mute switch and a 12-month warranty.
In my opinion, the Toeasor Replacement A50. Its mute is a push switch with a red mark that tells you instantly whether you are muted. The Tobysome handles mute with a button too, but its standout extra is the call pickup/hangup function rather than a visual mute indicator.
The Toeasor explicitly lists PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Mac, with Mode A recommended for console and PC gaming. The Tobysome lists Xbox One controllers, MixAmp, PC and Mac, along with the Astro headset family. Both need a combined mic/headphone 3.5mm jack on your device, so check your controller or splitter before buying.
On both cables the switch decides which microphone is active. Mode A uses the microphone built into your headset; Mode B uses the microphone built into the cable. If you want the cable's buttons to control a phone or music device, the switch needs to be in the B position.
