Our Verdict
Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018
Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017
The Bose QuietComfort 35 II/QC35 II Wireless 2018 are better mixed-usage headphones than the Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017, but the Astro are a much better choice for gaming due to their great dock and boom microphone performance. The Bose are better for everyday use, however, as their ANC blocks out a lot of background noise. On the other hand, the Astro are open-back headphones, which means they won’t be a good option for outside use, but maybe better for gaming or listening to music alone at home.
