Astro A50 Gen 3
Plantronics RIG 800LX Wireless
Both the Astro A50 Gen 3 and Plantronics RIG 800LX Wireless are good gaming headsets. The Astro feel more solid and are slightly more comfortable than the Plantronics. Both have great audio reproduction, but the Astro have a graphic EQ plus presets within their companion software. In comparison, there's only four EQ presets for the Plantronics, and they're found directly on the headphone's controls. The Astro’s dock is superior, as it has multiple inputs and acts as a charging platform for the headphones, while the Plantronics only have a USB dongle. On the upside, the Plantronics have better wireless range than the Astro and about twice the battery life, which is great.
