Our Verdict
Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro
Depending on how you game, you may prefer either the Astro A50 Gen 4 or the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro. The Astro are wireless gaming headphones that are more comfortable, better built, and have more consistent audio delivery. Additionally, their boom mic has a significantly better overall performance. However, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro are wired headphones that come with a GameDAC so that you can make adjustments as you game. Their companion software offers significant customization features too.
