  Affordable And Comfortable

  I'm no stranger to Turtle Beach or their headphones. I've been using those headphones for what seems like a steady lifetime. And over the years they've been hit or miss, yet it has been on a consistent basis. However, over the past couple of years, I've found myself quite satisfied with what they've been bringing to the gamer'sphere. Especially with their wireless gear. And as for the wired gear, these Atlas 200 headphones are good. I won't beat around the bush there. They're comfortable to wear for long periods of time, even for glasses wearers, like myself. This is a huge plus, considering many of my gaming friends and family are eye glasses wearers, as well. The light-weight material doesn't really come off as cheap looking, but they don't compare to the wireless counterparts. The sound quality is pretty good, I would prefer if they were just a little louder for those times when I'm in a "I need to hear the footsteps" situations. But for the single player, "let's keep it down, people are sleeping" moments, these come through in a pinch. The 50mm drivers with soft memory-foam cups feel so cozy on my ears. The only draw-back is when it's hot in the room. Expect sweat. When it comes to the headband. There's a mesh coveing over the top and the floating headbands. That helps to keep my sweaty cranium from getting the top all stank. The folding mute feature is still alive and well, and the boom mic is bendible to get the right angle to face ratio. The mic sound is serviceable, so it does its job. My only real complaint is the length of the cord. While this is a really good length for console gamers who plug their head gear into the controller or even the Switch system, this is a total fail for desktop PC gamers. Laptop gamers should have no problems at all, here. That's why I have to give these such a high score. They simply do their job. And their not bad to look at on the skull either. Not to mention, how affordable they are. Pick 'em up.

  No bells and whistles, but sounds great!

  I’ve been gaming with the Atlas 200 by Turtle Beach for about a week now and I’d like to share my thoughts. Soon as I opened the box I was quite impressed with the look and design of this headset. They look more premium than they actually are though. For the most part, the headset is plastic. With some soft and comfortable mesh fabric over the elastic band on the headset. The pads on the earcups are comfortable and feel like soft pillows. It feels like memory foam. They fit nice and comfortably over my ears without causing any fatigue or discomfort on long game sessions. The headset is very light for its size. The microphone boom will mute when retracted. The microphone has a small piece of foam to dampen unwanted noise. It does a good job, and my friends all said I sounded nice and clear. Sound quality is good. Not the best I’ve ever used, but good enough. I was expecting a little more bass (oomf) since the cups are so large. Overall, I would say they are fairly balanced. Explosions and gunfire have a nice thud. Footsteps and little sounds that I normally wouldn’t notice with the tv speakers make the gaming experience more immersive. There isn’t many controls on this headset, just a volume rocker on the left ear cup. The wire is fixed on the ear cup and can’t be removed. All in all, I would say that this is a pretty basic headset, with good sound and microphone quality. Would I recommend it? Sure, maybe for the kiddos who can’t be bothered with EQ controls or other settings. Or for anyone just wanting a basic and easy to use headset. If you want a premium sound and build, with a lot of control. I would look elsewhere.

  Good Simple Wired Headset

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  I needed a wired gaming headset that would work with multiple systems that didn’t require any software, something that was simply plug and play. I saw that Turtle Beach had the Atlas 200 Wired multiplatform headset with a flip to mute microphone, which was perfect! Pros: - Simple Plug & Play. - Flip to Mute Microphone. - Good Audio and Microphone quality. - Glasses Friendly. Cons: - Cable is only about 4ft. Setup & Build: The Atlas 200 Wired headset is as simple as it gets, only thing in the box is headset. The headset attaches via a 3.5mm plug. No additional parts needed. The microphone is an attached flip to mute, which can be convenient if it works. The attached cable is only 4ft long, which is a great length for connecting to a controller while holding it but can be short if connecting to anything not in hand. The Atlas 200 is made mostly of plastic, with fabric ear cushions and a mesh material over the headband. The plastic is a slightly textured matte plastic, which is light but feels sturdy. The frame is flexible but also not fragile, there is plenty of motion to move the headset without it feeling like it will break. The headband is adjustable with Velcro straps on both sides, the mesh covering covers both the plastic of the headset frame and the headband, which creates tension on top of your head to help keep the headset in place. The ear cushions are removeable, which is great for a budget headset as this allows you to clean and wash them without risking damage to the headset. Feel: The headset is very light weight at just 0.6 lbs, which is great for long gaming sessions or those who are sensitive to heavy pressure on their head. Even wearing the headset for more than 8 hours didn’t prove any discomfort. The soft fabric ear cushions were both breathable and very comfortable for long hours, no sweating from the faux leather ear cups. The headset pressure on my head was less than I usually prefer but it didn’t come off even when I shook my head which is all I need. Though I did find the pressure worked perfectly with glasses, not causing any discomfort even after long hours of wearing glasses with the headset. Audio: The Atlas 200 sounded great while chatting and gaming, I had no issues hearing anyone nor did anything sound off. Even just listening to music sounded great for a budget gaming headset, the audio was way better than most wired earbuds. Overall, I was very impressed with the audio quality of the Atlas 200 as it delivered more depth than I had expected. Microphone: The microphone quality isn’t amazing, but it’s good for chatting while gaming. There was a bit of distortion on high and loud notes, but at normal talking levels the microphone was clear and picked up my voice well. I was surprised at the sensitivity of the microphone, as it even picked up quiet whispers, which is great if you’re gaming while others are sleeping. I’m always mixed on the flip to mute as on one hand it is very convenient to be able to flip the microphone up to mute which is often the needed if you’re eating or just going to talk to someone in the same room. But at some point, I’ve always had the flip to mute feature on other headsets stop working correctly. I hope the Atlas 200 proves my worry wrong. Conclusion: If you need a simple Plug & Play wired headset that works with any 3.5mm jack, then the Turtle Beach Atlas 200 is a solid choice if you’re on a budget. The flip to mute microphone is convenient and easy to use. The audio quality is great for the price point, providing great sound for gaming and chatting, while also being enjoyable for listening to other media. I’ll be adding the Atlas 200 to my recommendations for wired gaming headsets.
