Our Verdict

Astro A10

Turtle Beach Stealth 300

The Astro A10 are better wired gaming headphones than the Turtle Beach Stealth 300. The Astro have a better build quality with a more premium-looking design than the Turtle Beach. They also sound better and have a better boom mic for voice chat. The Turtle Beach, however, are more comfortable than the Astro since they're not as tight on the head. While neither can connect to a companion app, the Turtle Beach let you cycle between four audio presets via their controls. The Astro can't be customized at all.
