Our Verdict

Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless

Astro A50 X

The Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless and the Astro A50 X Wireless are both premium gaming headphones that are comfortable and have great build quality. The Astro have a myriad of connectivity options through their base station, with plenty of USB-C inputs and the capability for HDMI passthrough with their three 2.1 inputs, which is ideal for gamers with multiple systems. The PLAYSYNC function also makes it easy to switch between them. However, the base station lacks the Logitech's USB dongle's line-out port. The Logitech have a longer continuous battery life, though, and you can use them with a wired connection.
