Our Verdict

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless

Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017

The Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless are better headphones for mixed-use than the Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2017, but the Astro will be a noticeably better pick for gaming due to their great dock and great sounding microphone. The Sony will be better for everyday use as their ANC will block out ambient noise and are a great option for commuting or using at the office. They can be used for single-player games if used wired, which makes them a decent option for some games, but won’t be the best for multiplayer games. On the other hand, the Astro are open-back, which means they won’t be a good option for outside use.
