A40 TR (Gen 4)

I've switched to Astro years ago and never looked back. Amazing audio, comfort and durability. Have both the a40 tr (10+ years old) and the A50.

Honestly, go with Astro. Their headsets are really well built. They last so much longer than anything else on the market. I've been using the A40 TR for years at this point and I only recently had to replace parts on it which didn't cost too much either. Easily customisable as well because things like the ear cups, headband and the wire are easily replaceable, even the aftermarket stuff is good depending on where you go. Compared to the vice grip of Turtle Beach, Astro headsets literally feel like you have a cloud on your ears. Sound quality is good too.

I use Astro A40 TRs with the TR mod kit to make them closed back and always hear things my friends don’t

Cloud alpha in my opinion , I got the 2’s and the surround sound makes everything muddy, without it it sounds solid and clear , the alpha is a perfectly balanced sound (I have the wireless btw) and I’m honestly really happy , coming from astros A40 TR; although not as loud as the astros they are clear . Astros for immersive games like battlefield, single player games and what not …. The alphas for rainbow six which is my preferred and any game you need to listen for sound like footsteps , my brother has the steel series artic headphones and for the money they aren’t far off from each other either
