Our Verdict

Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 SuperAmp

Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2019

The Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2019 are better gaming headphones than the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 SuperAmp. The Astro have a noticeably better dock that offers more inputs and more controls like channel mixing, on top of having a more spacious soundstage as well thanks to their open-back design. The Astro also have a better companion app with more customization options, although users have experienced issues with the software. On the other hand, the Turtle Beach is Bluetooth compatible so you can stream music from your phone while playing on consoles, and they have a more secure and stable fit, but that’s about it.
