Our Verdict

Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE

Astro A10 Gen 2

The Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE are slightly more versatile headphones than the Astro A10 Gen 2. You can use the Corsair wired or wirelessly, they have a better build quality, their boom mic offers better overall performance, and they're compatible with companion software, which offers a graphic EQ and presets to help you adjust their sound. However, the Astro are more comfortable.
