Our Verdict

Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO

Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017

The Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless 2017 are better headphones for gaming than the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO. The Astro aren't as tight as the Beyerdynamic and have a more accurate audio reproduction. Also, while the Astro are wireless, the latency is negligible, although not nonexistent like the wired Beyerdynamic. The Astro also have a microphone, which the Beyerdynamic lack. If you have a stand-alone mic or you don't need one, the Beyerdynamic is a good-sounding wired option.
