Our Verdict
Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017
Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017
The Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017 are the wired variant of the Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017, so they are very similar. The A40 are open-back and their microphone is better than the wireless A50. They have the same great build quality, and both can be used with the Astro Command Center software on PC, though there are a few users issues related to this software. If you prefer the freedom of a wireless headset, go with the A50. If you don’t want any latency and don’t want the hassle to charge your headphones, get the A40.
