If you're looking for something more portable, consider the Astro A30 Wireless instead. They're bulky, like many over-ear gaming headphones, but you can use them without the MixAmp, making them a little more portable. Their detachable boom mic has great recording quality, so you won't have any issues being understood by your teammates.īecause of their open-back design, they leak lots of audio and don't block any background noise, meaning they're better suited for use in a quiet environment. They have a well-balanced sound profile, with a bit of extra boom that will emphasize sound effects in action games. They're also wired-only, but this connection also allows you to use the MixAmp, an in-line set of powerful controls that let you select different EQ presets and adjust the levels of audio that you hear on the fly. They're similar to the Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019 in looks but have an open-back design, which helps create a great, spacious soundstage to immerse you in your audio. If you don't mind a wired design, you'll want to check out the Astro A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro 2019. Otherwise, they're a solid choice if you're looking for a wireless gaming headset. They also leak quite a bit of sound, which isn't ideal if you game in a shared space. Also, like most gaming headsets, they don't isolate you from ambient sound, meaning you may be distracted by traffic outside your window or people chatting nearby. Unfortunately, they don't support Βluetooth, which is disappointing if you want to stream music from your phone and hear your game audio simultaneously. They also work with the Astro Command Center software, which offers a graphic EQ for sound customization and a few other features, like different noise gate settings for the mic. Out of the box, their sound profile is well-balanced, with a bit of extra boom in the bass range that can help bring out sound effects in action-packed games. Their boom mic has an impressive overall performance, so your voice sounds clear and natural, even if you're gaming in a noisy place. These comfortable headphones come with a wireless dock that provides a very low latency connection and doubles as a charging station. The best Astro headset we've tested is the Astro A50 Gen 4 Wireless 2019.
