Our Verdict
Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017
Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset
The Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017 are better-wired gaming headphones than the Logitech G Pro X Gaming Headset. The Astro have an open-back design that helps to create a wider and spacious soundstage. However, this same design means they also leak more audio and isolate less noise than the closed-back design of the Logitech. The Astro also have a better overall performing microphone, which is great for multiplayer games, and their USB dongle can be used on the PS4 and Xbox One to receive full audio and microphone support unlike the Logitech's, which only offers full support for the PS4.
