As far as big-name brand video game headsets go, there are currently two wired solutions that stand out above all others. How do they compare in practice?
As a Mixer streamer, having mix controllers is a must-have for feeding Xbox game sound into your headset alongside PC sound for mic recording and Discord chat. Thankfully, both Astro and Turtle Beach provide 7.1 surround headset bundles precisely for this purpose. If you don't need the mix controllers, they can also be purchased separately too, and they're both similarly priced, sporting many of the same features.
Whether or not you like the designs of these headsets will boil down to personal preference, but when it comes to the audio, build quality, and technical experience, there are some key differences between the two that potential buyers should be aware of.
So here it is, our first headset battle royale: Astro's A40 TR MixAmp combo vs. Turtle Beach's Elite Pro Tournament with its Tactical Audio Controller.
