Logitech G Pro X vs Astro A40 TR (and MixAmp) - a comparison of two very nice headsets
296This is a video to compare the Astro A40 with the Logitech G Pro X. Both affordable and interesting gaming headsets that are both technically made by Logitech as they now own Astro. One is very much an eSports/pro gamer headset, the other is designed to be more understated but with great sound. Watch to find out more.
Logitech G Pro X Headset
I'm using the microphone of the G Pro X for this video to give you an idea of what that's like too.
This is an affordable gaming headset, that you'll get the best experience out of on PC thanks to the included digital to analogue converter which does the processing to enable you to get DTS Headphone: X 2.0 virtual surround sound. On console, via 3.5mm cable it's only stereo.
Highlights to the Logitech G Pro X headset include:
More affordable quality than most
USB soundcard for DTS Headphone:X 2.0 on PC
3.5mm connection for consoles/with splitter cable
Extremely bendable headband
Carry bag
Memory foam & leatherette ear pads/Memory foam & cloth ear pads
Similar comfort to Astro A50/A40
Blue voice software
Removable microphone
Swanky headphone like design that can be used away from your gaming machine
Pro "Tuned" EQ
Runs with G-Hub https://support.logi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360025298133
Excellent base and audio range
