Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good sound and great bass with the 50 mm drivers, and they were affordable. A good working mic too, which seems to be hard to come by with headsets these days.

For the price, its good enough, the sound is good too

Noice cancelling and great quality! Great for gaming AND listening to music

Recently bought these after my old Turtle Beaches were ruined. For the price to only had been about 50 bucks they work as good as a wireless headset. Very affordable and there’s so echoing with these.

great backup headset for gaming. i ended up getting a different bluetooth one as a primary but this is great for a quick backup

Mic didn’t work but was overall comfortable on the head

Turtle beach have always been an excellent choice for the price

They are great, they work very well, clearly I would buy them again

Christmas gift for my husband. His current set of headphones are coming apart around the ears.

Wonderful replacement for a headset that quit working!

Turtle Beach has released the Atlas 200 gaming headset. This headset uses a wired connection to systems for low latency and compatibility. The headset features a built-in wired cable that has a 3.5mm plug on the end. The cable is long enough that I had no problems connecting it to my desktop, laptop, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. It works on Xbox fine when I plugged it into the 3.5mm jack on my Xbox controller. The Xbox automatically began playing audio through the headset without me having to do anything else to get it to work. It worked really well with my Nintendo Switch. The sound quality was good and it worked just fine plugged into the 3.5mm jack on the Switch. The cable is very flexible and long enough that I was able to connect it to my laptop and desktop as well. The quality of audio is good, but could be made to be a little better. The headset also has a volume up/down dial that is easy to find by touch and works as expected. It’s lightweight enough that I didn’t think about having them on even after a 4 hour gaming session in Battlefield 6 on my gaming laptop. The mic is built-in and pivots down. I adjusted it to be in front of my mouth and it stayed in that position. It also has a windscreen that covers the inside of the mic boom where the mic is located which helps a little. I used the included 3.5mm to USB adapter after downloading and installing the Swarm II software. The software recognized the headset and allowed me to update the firmware. That is as far as it goes for the software. Swarm II didn’t give me any options for EQ or presets which would have been nice. Maybe that will come in the future. Final Thoughts This is a good lightweight headset. The fact that it has a 3.5mm wired connection means it’s going to work with just about anything. That also means that I don’t have to worry about charging batteries. The audio quality could be a little better, but at this price point, it is really good. To get better quality audio, you’ll have to pay at least double the price of the Atlas 200. This headset will work with just about anything that accepts a 3.5mm headphone connection. It will work with desktops, laptops, the Switch, and the Xbox. Turtle Beach says it will also work with the Playstation, but I don’t have one so I was not able to speak to that, but can confirm it works fine with a desktop, laptop, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. If you are looking for a wired gaming headset that works with just about anything and doesn’t break the bank, then consider Turtle Beach’s Atlas 200 wired gaming headset.

[PROS] Superb Comfort: I would assign comfort level the letter grade of an A. I would best describe it as soft and lightweight. I was able to wear them for a long time without any bothersome issues. Limitless Connections: Despite recent advancements in technology, the audio jack is still alive and kicking. With the Atlas 200, I can connect to virtually any device through an audio or USB A port. That means that I’m able to enjoy the headset with my handheld devices like the Switch 2 and PlayStation Portal along with my home consoles such as the Series X and PS5 through their designated controllers. Excellent Audio and Microphone: This may be a budget option, but they still sound well despite the tier they’re designed for. Audio is crisp and properly projects the different environmental elements that you hear while gaming. What impressed me most was the microphone. Teammates were able to hear me loud and clear without any muddiness to my voice. [CONS] Missed Opportunities: If I could make any knock against the device then it would be for absent options. Firstly, it would have been nice for the headset to have come with a 3.5mm to USB C adapter. This would have provided an additional lane for connectivity. I can extend grace since this is an inexpensive part to purchase. The other opportunity missed is that I would’ve hoped for the headset to have been designed for a detachable cable. Cords can sometimes become frayed or accidentally damaged which would require a replacement. No one wants to buy another headset when a part can be easily swapped out. [MIXED BAG] No Third-Party Sound Technologies: The Atlas 200 doesn’t support “premiere” audio powerhouse features such as Dolby Atmos, Tempest 3D, or others. Instead, Turtle Beach uses what’s available in-house, and it works really well. Furthermore, implementing other audio technologies would’ve caused the headset to be more expensive which defeats the purpose of the targeted market. The Swarm II software is simple to use in making adjustments and the options are robust enough. I still have the ability to establish profiles, EQ settings, and other various audio configurations. [CONCLUSION] The Turtle Beach Atlas 200 is a fine headset despite obvious cutbacks. It's not an audio juggernaut, but that’s to be expected. You lack wireless capabilities, but there’s no need to obviously worry about battery life, bluetooth connectivity range, or dongles. I do feel like a removable cable design would’ve added value to the longevity of the product. Yet, it still sounds great and should be more than suitable to jump into gaming action.

Overall, I'm a fan of this headset. It's pretty simple - there's a volume control on one of the cups. That's it. It connects with either a 3.5mm aux jack (good for using with controllers connected to game consoles) or a 3.5mm aux to USB adapter (for PC). It's pretty great for circumstances where you don't want to deal with any complexity. While I'm not thrilled about having to install yet another separate Turtle Beach app, the Swarm II app does have some additional configuration options that expand on what this headset can do. For instance, there are options to adjust the microphone sensitivity and monitoring as well as mute it, you can configure the built in 3D audio (Waves 3D) for games, music, or movies, and there's even a balance between chat and game. There's also the Superhuman Hearing feature, which selectively amplifies footsteps or gunshots based on your preferences. What I do really like about all of this is that all of these options fit on a single configuration page. Honestly, it's kind of the perfect balance between features and simplicity for circumstances where you don't want to be too technical. The build quality of the headset is pretty reasonable - it's pretty lightweight, the mesh at the top feels comfortable, and the ear cup foam is really soft. However, the frame of the headset is a bit small, and even at maximum size it still barely fits on my head. The sound quality, however, is pretty good. I haven't noticed any particular issues with not getting bass or top end. After some testing, the microphone also seems to be reasonably good - I haven't run into any issues with audio quality with that either. The directional audio does seem to work decently as well. Overall, I feel like this would be a pretty good headset for a kid, someone who isn't technically adept, or situations where you don't want to use a wireless headset. The main thing I would watch out for is the size of this headset - if you have a particularly large head, you might not be comfortable.

The Turtle Beach - Atlas 200 Wired Over-Ear Gaming Headset for PC, Xbox & PlayStation - Black brings a new player to the field for immense sound, better spacial awareness, and effective noise cancelled mic for superior in-game communication. Comfort designed for the player in mind, the Atlas 200 is ready for all-day play without pain points for extended wear. The wired feature ensure no loss of critical information at crucial moments due to loss of connectivity or battery dying. I found the Atlas 200 to be a great wired headset from Turtle Beach. Having used several of their headphones over the years, this iteration was comfortable, the sound was on spot and brought a realistic depth to the experience, and the mic offered clear communication during gaming with others. The only downside is the wired aspect as I am not a fan of daggling wires getting in the way of the controller or keyboard. Other than this, which they are wired, they exceeded expectations. PROS - Turtle Beach brand, quality, and durability - Excellent sound - Over the ears helps with ambient noises - Comfortable for extended play CONS - The wire is a bit in the way depending on your needs, but no battery to run out! - Can get a bit warm on the ears over time - taking a break is aways a good idea anyway

These headphones aren't bad. They sound decent; I like how they're wired (no turning them on and off every time); and they have volume controls on the actual headset. The adjustable headband is also nice. The headset doesn't feel like cheap pieces of plastic, which is nice to see at this price point. The mic on the unit I received was not working. I did have my own microphone, so I only took off 1 star for this. This may be a bigger deal to you. I do have some suggestions. Firstly, the volume controls on the headset should control the volume on the actual device, rather than being a second volume control. Secondly, it would be nice to get some RGB on it. Sure, it doesn't affect the functionality, but it would make the headphones look far better. There are also app controls for the headset. I found the app decent, but I did have some trouble installing it. Overall, these are some decent headphones. I would suggest these to anyone looking for a decent pair of budget headphones for their PC.

They are almost too small for my head and fold the bottoms of my ears just a tiny bit. They fit my kids perfectly, so they have become my youngest’s new headset. They sound great and are comfortable. I love the lift to mute mic and having a scroll wheel for volume, though the wheel is a little hard to find until you get used to where it is. It is hardwired and the cord is not detachable. If your computer doesn’t have a DAC built into it that can handle 24bit or you prefer the swarm software for adjusting your sound and the 3d audio capabilities, there is an included Aux to USB adapter. I don’t love that it is USB A and not C as C would enable the headphones to be used with android and iPhone devices easier. With the right adapter these are completely universal headphones that sound great and will never die on you. They work great for gaming, and the presets to through the dongle definitely gear the audio more towards gaming than just using the Aux port. Pros: Comfortable Lift to Mic No battery Decent length on cord Comes with Aux to USB A adapter Sounds great Cons: A little on the small side Doesn’t have a USB C adapter

My son had this headset for three months, the jack that plugs into the Xbox became loose and would bend and the microphone that you can move up and down snapped. Would not recommend.

The Turtle Beach Atlas 200 Wired Headphones are designed for the serious gamer, that has a limited budget. In short, these are comfortable, light-weight, wired headphones that will work wonderfully on your PC or gaming machine. The headphones are very light at 9.7 ounces including the cable. The headphones alone weigh a mere 9 ounces. The headphones have 2 metal bands that run between the ear-cups. Surrounding that is a mesh fabric that has a cloth band running through it. This band is what actually sits on the top of your head, and is adjustable length to get the proper fit. The ear-cups are about 1 inch deep and perfectly fit around your ears. They are clearly labeled “R” and “L”, so you don’t have to guess which way to wear them. While they aren’t noise cancelling headphones, you will hear very little outside sound when you have them on your head due to the design of the ear-cups. The headphones have a swing down microphone. When it is in the up position, the mic is muted. When it is down, it picks up your voice very well. I would suggest a microphone wind screen cover to cut down on external sounds. Having one on also provides a little bit fuller sound while cutting down on external noise. When attached to your PC via USB, the headset is controlled through their Swarm II App. You can control the Master Volume, Super Human Hearing, Game Chat Mix, Chat Boost and Waves 3D. A simple description for Super Human Hearing is that you can select legacy, footsteps or gunshots. What the software will do is amplify the audio range at which those sounds should take place. As you are playing a game, you may not see on the screen that someone is sneaking up on you, but with it set to footsteps, the sound of footsteps should be amplified, giving you a small competitive advantage. Game Chat Mix Mode controls the level of your chat audio in comparison to the levels of your game audio. The setting you use will be based of which is more important for you to hear. Waves 3D is a simulated 3D audio for games that support it. The Swarm II application also contains a 10-channel equalizer with 5 presets. This equalizer allows you to control the sound levels at 10 different frequencies for both the headphone drivers and the microphone. Speaking of drivers, the Atlas 200 headphones have 50 mm drivers. These are much larger than the drivers in most budget headphones. The 50mm driver allows it to have a wider range of frequency response and better sound quality, especially at low volumes. Overall, I really love these headphones. In my opinion, they are the best budget gaming headphones that I have heard this year. I can highly recommend them for someone looking for budget headphones with the intent of using them for gaming.
