Astro A50 Gen 4
Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation)
The Astro A50 Gen 4 and Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation) are both comfortable gaming headphones equipped with good-sounding mics, but with different priorities. The Astro only works wirelessly with a base and software for EQ adjustments and updates. The Beyerdynamic can only connect via analog without any additional software. Despite being closed-back, they don't block much noise. They're more effective at isolation than the semi-open Astro, so if you're sharing your gaming space, the Beyerdynamic may be a bit better. The Astro's design allows sound to interact with your environment, which can make their soundstage feel more immersive and open.
