It’s been a long time since a Turtle Beach headset has impressed us, but the Elite Atlas’s premium design finally did it—even if there are still some lingering audio concerns.

Comfortable and durable design; Soft microfiber earcup lining; Sounds good for gaming, specifically;

Performance isn’t great outside gaming; In-line controls feel chintzy; No USB option;

I play a lot of call of duty bo4 and with these headphones set up on "windows sonic" in Xbox One settings and the tutle beach apps super human hearing mode turned on. I have an advantage over the opposition. E.G.

If you want to spent a bit less on a wired gaming headset that also works as a pair of Bluetooth headphones, we quite like the HyperX Cloud Mix . It's slightly more affordable than the Elite Pro 2 and also sounds very good, but its bass isn't quite as strong and it doesn't have the same premium...

Excellent sound quality with powerful bass; Sturdy, luxurious build; Bluetooth audio with included SuperAmp

Less-than-stellar microphone; SuperAmp has few controls; Unreliable app

Turtle Beach has been a mainstay in the PC gaming world for years, but recently it's seemed like their focus has shifted toward console gamers. The Atlas line is their answer to that, with three headsets modeled after their console offerings and custom tuned for PC gamers.

REVIEW – I have enjoyed my Turtle Beach Elite Pro gaming headset since I got my hands on them and have felt little desire to try to upgrade to another higher end pair, that is until the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 came out.

Extremely comfortable; Bluetooth capability; Versatile; Excellent microphone sound

Turtle Beach's Atlas line of gaming headsets is designed for PC gaming enthusiasts, and the Elite Atlas sits at the top of the heap. This $99.99 wired gaming headset looks and feels a lot like the company's pricey Elite Pro Tournament Headset (one of our favorites), but for half the price. As part of the Atlas line it features drivers that emphasize higher frequencies over bass, shunning typical gaming headset audio balance for a more tactically beneficial sound. The result is an excellent headset for gaming, though the heavily sculpted sound means it isn't as good for to music as its more expensive sibling. Luxurious and Comfortable The Elite Atlas looks and feels a lot like the Elite Pro Tournament Headset. The dark orange accents are gone in favor of gunmetal ones for a darker, more neutral color scheme, but the headset has the same classy memory foam earpads covered in faux leather, with a glasses-friendly strip of softer foam at the temples. It also has the same suspension de...

The wired Turtle Beach Elite Atlas headset delivers heavily sculpted audio ideal for gaming in a luxurious, comfortable design.

Strong high-mids and high frequency response for picking out nearby threats in games; Excellent microphone; Good build quality

Heavily sculpted sound isn't ideal for listening to music

A lot of headsets sound like they're playing a game of buzzword bingo these days, and the Turtle Beach Elite Pro is no exception. Are you a pro gamer who's into esports and want to play like the athletes you see on the internet

Truly fantastic. No more charging. Mic mute works. Sound is blocked by headphones meaning complete immersion. I highly recommend them. Worth the price.

The only downside I can think of for the Elite Pro is the price tag. Paying £170 for the headset itself is perfectly reasonable for how good it is, but it's a bit much to ask for another £150 for an audio controller to make the most of your purchase.

Great sound, works with pretty much every pair of headphones a must buy!
