Our Verdict

Astro A50 Gen 3

Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 SuperAmp

The Astro A50 Gen 3 is a better gaming headset than the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 SuperAmp. The Astro is a wireless headset, so it offers more freedom to move, and it also is very comfortable. The Astro are one of the better gaming headsets we've tested and have a well-balanced sound profile. The Astro Command Center is also a more complete gaming software that allows more customization and control, with features like a good parametric EQ that the Turtle Beach Audio Hub doesn't offer. On the other hand, if you don't want to manage battery life and be sure to recharge your headphones every day, the wired Turtle Beach might be a better option. The Turtle Beach also have a better microphone, better isolation performance, and gives you quick access to a volume control that isn't on the ear cups, like the Astros.
