Available for pre-order for $379.99, the Logitech G Astro A5O X is a wireless dual-band gaming headset, which means it can connect and switch audio from console-to-console with just a tap of a button with Logitech G’s “PlaySync.” It’s ideal for those times when you want to finish up a game on your PlayStation 5 and then start a new game on your Xbox Series X.
It delivers exceptional gaming audio that’s clear, robust and completely immersive with deep and heart-thumping bass — thanks to Logitech G’s 40mm “Pro-G Graphene” audio drivers and 24-bit “Lightning Wireless” technology for a low latency wireless audio with virtually no lag.

“Over the last decade, the A50 has become an icon in gaming headsets due to its focus on gamer-centric design, premium sound, and superior comfort and durability,” said Ujesh Desai, general manager of Logitech G, in a press release. “Our new A50 X elevates this beloved headset with an unmatched level of performance by combining the A50’s award-winning design with several new features and advanced technologies that truly revolutionize gameplay.”
Meanwhile, the wireless gaming headset — which has comfortable padded earcups and omnidirectional microphones — comes with a base station that works as a go-between the headset itself and your 4K TV via HDMI 2.1 for better performance and audio. It also works as a charging station for the wireless headset with up to 24 hours of battery life per charge.
Compatible with Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and most PC and Mac gaming sets, the Logitech G Astro A5O X Wireless Gaming Headset — which comes in black and white models — is set for release in early 2024. It’s available for pre-order for $379.99 at logitechg.com.

From the introduction of Fletcher’s new era to Tokischa’s steamy new single, check out just a few of our favorite releases from this week below:
Fletcher, “Eras of Us”
[embedded content]
After sending TikTok into a frenzy with a series of teasers over the last few weeks, pop darling Fletcher finally unveiled “Eras of Us,” her latest heartbreak anthem. Oscillating between dreamy synth-pop and driving rock, Fletcher conjures up that uncomfortable moment of running into your ex for the first time in a while, offering polite small talk like “how are you doing?” and “where have you been?” from the song’s outset. As the beat ratchets up, so do the star’s lyrics, as she lives vicariously through the memories of a relationship long passed and wonders what the future could look like. It’s Fletcher doing what she does best, which makes “Eras of Us” an instant winner.
Tokischa feat. Sexyy Red, “Daddy”
[embedded content]
Calling all sugar babies; Tokischa is here and ready to pamper you. On “Daddy,” the rising rapper gets fully into her paternal vibe as she declares that yes, she’s more than happy to be your daddy. With a delicious dembow and trap-pop melody underscoring her sensual lyrics, Tokischa lets featured guest Sexyy Red know exactly what she’s willing to provide (in both English and Spanish), while giving the audience a deliriously fun new dance track to boogie to all weekend long.
Channel Tres, “Walked in the Room”

If you’re in need of an immediate vibe adjustment, Channel Tres is once again ready to give you just that. With his sleek new single “Walked in the Room,” Tres oozes nothing confidence and sexuality over a grooving disco house track that will properly wipe all your troubles away. Between killer lyrics like “Don’t doubt me, baby/ I kill the chaos with a smirk,” and a bass line that never lets up for the song’s 3 minute runtime, “Walked in the Room” demands your attention ASAP.
Zora, “Fastlane”
[embedded content]
Up-and-coming rapper Zora is ready to burn some rubber and talk some trash. On “Fastlane,” the 23-year-old artist gasses herself up and takes off into a kiss-off to any and all of her haters. Flexing bars about leaving her detrators in the dust while being boosted even further by a thundering hip-house beat, Zora blazes ahead on this uproariously fun new track.
Laura Jane Grace, “Cuffing Season”
[embedded content]
Stripping back her innate rock sensibility, Laura Jane Grace spends the majority of “Cuffing Season” focusing her energy inward. The melancholy new song sees the Against Me! leader ruminating on relationships, age, and the places where the two meet. Positing questions like “If what goes around is what comes around is what goes around again/ How you gonna move it,” Grace opens herself to the power of vulnerability — even if it just means getting hurt all over again.

Taylor Swift is ending 2023 not only with her record-breaking Eras Tour (that you can still snag last-minute tickets to here) and her concert movie coming to on demand, but she just earned herself the title of Time‘s Person of the Year.

The “You’re Losing Me” singer is continuing to add to her collection of her best outfits and this interview was no exception. While her streetwear has consisted of cold-weather essentials including a wool houndstooth trench coat, maxi teddy coat, Sheertex Diamond Sheer Tights, pleated skirts and an elevated Aupen shoulder purse, the cover shoot demonstrated a range of looks such from crystal embellishments to utility workwear pieces.
Other pieces from her shoot include a Ralph Lauren Utility Coat, an Alaia Convertible Chenille Gown and more.
For Swifties looking to infuse Swift’s style into their own without breaking the bank, this two-piece outfit will have you channeling a bit of her Reputation era as it features an all-black, monochromatic look. The tights and bodysuit are versatile enough where they don’t have to be worn together. You can pair them with a skirt, shorts or even trousers, or wear the tights and bodysuit without the other.
Much like most of the Midnight singer’s more wallet-friendly outfits, they’re already selling out.
