Our Verdict

Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2019

Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019

The Astro A50 Gen 4 and the Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2019 are both great gaming headphones. The A50 are wireless-only, while the A40 are wired-only and have a fully open-back design. So, if you also don't want to be limited by battery life, then the A40 are a better option. However, if you prefer a cable-free experience or walking around with headphones on, the A50 Gen 4 are a better pick.
