I am testing the Elite Pro 2 with Super AMP wired. Really wanted to give this 4.5 stars. The build quality is outstanding. Feels like a grownup version of the original Elite 800 headset. Its comfortable, easy on the ears and head even after hours of use. I only tested this on the PS4 and will follow-up on PC gaming. The metal headband is next level and the memory foam ear cushions really do feel great.
The 50mm Nanoclear is new and I was waiting to see if it lives up to the Hype. I can say without a doubt it does. Though to tweak this just right you have to use an app (as with many other products) for customization but it's worth the effort. The app is also great for the amplified setting. I was actually quite surprised to hear how good the audio was for both music and movies. Tested on Pandora and Vudu and like I said I was quite pleased with the quality of the audio.
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because of the app. It should be easier to adjust levels without stopping to set it up in the app. At this price point, this is close to a 5-star headset as I have tested. Great work Turtle Beach

Huge fan of TB... I had the elite 800 for 4 years without issues. This model - the sound modes are weak, superhuman hearing is very artificial now, volume for PS4 is ok, The mute button is on the cord which is annoying. There are no buttons on the headset itself. Everything is on the app but the only way to adjust volume is by reaching for the amp and turning it. So if you need to make change and your phone is dead or not around, you can’t do anything. Not much versatility with EQ customizations. I have both the Astro A50 and this to compare and and the Astro is so much better sad to say.

So it has a function of Bluetooth to your phone to make tweaks to sound effects which is probably great if you have a you tube channel. But it is a hard wired headset to the bluetooth amp. That has to be connected to the playstation. Which doesnt work of your playstation is across the room. The ear cups are comfortable and the sound was great. But the microphone no one could here me they said it was muffled and i couldnt here myself talk which is frustrating. I am returning today.

Haven't had a chance to use them much yet but have been curious if there is much of a difference between connecting the optical cable on my PS4 or just using the USB.
Got them on sale for $139 couldn't pass on that.

If you're a committed PS4 gamer and price is no barrier to the accessories you purchase, then you definitely should buy this. The Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 is, without question, the most comfortable high-end gaming headset on the market. The build quality is generally excellent, with a pliable but sturdy connecting band a choice of materials that deftly balances weight concerns and ruggedness, but where this device stands apart from competitors is in the design of the earpieces. These things practically mold themselves to your head shape, and if you have a uniquely shaped noggin like mine (and wear glasses to boot), you'll find yourself overjoyed to finally be using a headset that doesn't make you calculate how long you can endure a background level of discomfort.
For a more detailed breakdown:
BUILD QUALITY - Excellent. All pieces that need to stretch or flex do so admirably, and the parts most likely to wear over time (like the connecting headband) are reinforced with durable metal. As mentioned above, the earpieces are the true engineering marvel. They also detach via magnets, so repair or replacement should be easy.
SOUND QUALITY - Excellent. Treble is clear and distinct, and bass frequencies punch distinctly without overpowering the mix. Midrange frequencies are separated into clear and distinct channels that enables you to discern things that get mashed together in poorer handsets. The audio engineering is advanced enough to make voice chat, background music, and sound effects distinct, clear, and detailed during play. It's pretty amazing to play an FPS and realize that you can hear the cacophony of the in-game chat (with all the different frequencies and microphone qualities players bring to the table), the game music, and sound effects you've been missing every play session prior while using this headset. I personally thought the microphone provided great sound quality; I made sure to check with online teammates for verification! The Speaker Boost feature is also implemented well, but reaping its benefits depends on tweaking your equalizer settings.
SOFTWARE - Turtle Beach wisely eschewed a cumbersome PC interface for a download app (Android and iOS) instead. On first use, I thought the equalizer settings looked worryingly spartan, but I now see that choice was made to make sound mixing as easy-to-execute as possible. You can immediately hear the results of changes as you adjust the sliders on your phone, and it goes without saying that most dedicated PS4 gamers own the kind of smartphone needed to use the app software. The real benefits of the sound booster aren't seen until you tinker with these audio settings; if you calibrate things well, you can use the speaker boost as a volume adjuster to attenuate game audio when there's a sudden surge in noise or music. This is a godsend in games that have selectively implemented soundtracks, like Bloodborne.
CONVENIENCE - Yes, there are a number of cables to hookup, but nowhere near the jungle of wires that the first-gen PS VR required. If you have a game setup that features a chair or sofa and a reasonable distance from your television or monitor, you should have no problems. Stretching the connecting audio cables across a living room floor might be a nuisance for a house pet (or a house mate), but most serious gamers keep their machines and hardware in a separate to keep way from distractions anyway, so the additional two cables you need shouldnn't be an issue.
PRICE - This is the only area in which this headset feels like a bit of a letdown. You'll definitely get your money's worth, but most average-to-casual gamers can get by with a perfectly serviceable headset-and-audio combination for $100 or so. You won't get anywhere near this level of comfort or audio quality, but if you only use your PS4 for about ten hours a week that won't matter to you. If you spend just about ever second you can spare gaming, then this is your rig.
IN BRIEF - Serious gamers willing to spend top dollar on the best audio accessories, or people who value comfort so highly they don't mind spending a little extra, should pick this unit up without hesitation. If this unit is on a considerable sale, make the purchase without hesitation.

Upon receipt, you'll notice that the TB Elite Pro 2 headphones are packaged in an average looking box. However, that's just the outer sleeve. Under that sleeve is a very premium feeling box that matches the price for this headset. Why is the packaging important you might ask? As someone who has moved across the country several times, I want the items I'm spending big bucks on (particularly my tech items) to come with boxes that will last so that I can use them to repack and transport the items. I learned the hard way that you don't want to throw all of your tech items, controllers, power cables, and adapters in one box thinking that you'll be able to easily put them all back together once you've arrived at your destination.
Once out of the box, setup is fairly easy but can be more complicated depending on your specific setup and whether or not you choose to use the included (VERY appreciated) optical cable. By using the optical cable, you gain Bluetooth functionality from your phone. While this does allow you to control some audio settings, customize the EQ, and stream audio, I didn't find it critical to my gaming experience. Once you've connected the SuperAmp (more on this later) to the PS4, you then run another wire to the headset. You also have the option of running the standard 3.5mm connection directly to your PS4 controller, but this does result in a noticeable loss of audio quality. However, the quality is still impressive given the high quality of the headset itself. Unfortunately, most of the audio controls are via the SuperAmp which is super inconvenient. I'm not sure why this decision was made or why the super amp couldn't just be some dongle on the back of the console. I'm sure this was a cost saving measure to avoid having to fit batteries and bluetooth directly into the headset, but man does it take away from the excellent sound performance of this headset. Having wires strung across the living room floor just isn't what I want to look at or clean up after I'm done gaming.
As far as the sound quality goes (when connected to the SuperAmp), it is amazing. The surround sound really does put you into an immersive game play environment. You will absolutely hear things that you've never heard before in your games giving you an advantage over your rivals. Bass is deep and punchy without drowning out important gaming sounds.
I was also really impressed with the comfort of this headset. The thick padding didn't leave my ears feeling like they'd been crushed for hours like some headsets do. I don't normally have any issue with sweat, but I could tell a noticeably more comfortable difference with this headset.
In conclusion, The TB Elite Pro 2 is certainly a premium headset that delivers excellent sound and comfort sure to make any gamer happy. Unfortunately, it delivers it in a way that is so strange given the desire for wireless functionality. It has some Bluetooth features, but only if you route them through the SuperAmp which is a tangle of wires waiting to happen. If you're using this with a PC and desk, it won't likely be much of an issue. However, if you're using this with a TV from a console on the other side of the room, then it isn't pleasant to look at and is even harder to store neatly. Thankfully, you can still use the headset by connecting directly to your PS4 controller, but you lose a lot of the functionality that you are paying for. All in all, I'll be keeping these as they are much better than the current headset I'm using in both comfort and sound (even when used without the SuperAmp). I doubt I'll be using the SuperAmp as it's just too much clutter for my living room unless I'm going to do some serious gaming days at a time. I'm giving these my recommendation since most people who purchase these know that they are wired and should be OK with that. However, I'd really like to see a truly wireless headset developed even if it cost another $100.
Pros:
-Sound
-Comfort (Fit & heat)
-Build
Cons:
-Lack of controls on the headset
-Wires + Wires + Wires
-SuperAmp is like a cheaper way to incorporate Bluetooth. It's clunky.

This is my third set of turtle beaches. The pair I had before these was the stealth 700’s. The elite pros sound terrible. If you are familiar with the audio quality you get from a monitor without speakers plugged in it sounds like that but maybe worse. It is flat and tinny. The 700’s never really sounded the greatest but you could never get them loud enough for the sound quality to be as noticeable. I only bought these because Best Buy didn’t have Astro a40’s in stock. Now I’ve got to take these back and order them because these things are unbearable.
Fit and finish is great the presentation In the box is great.
The “super amp” is pure marketing it’s a giant volume knob that almost serves no purpose. All the sound settings that should have been on the knob are in the app.
The app that you have to download to change any settings on the headset is really bad. Constant crashes and menus that don’t make any sense. Coding is bad user interface is bad.
Adding Bluetooth to this headset is frustrating. The Bluetooth randomly takes over your audio multiple times a day. I will be in another room trying to watch a YouTube video and it randomly switches to my headset and you switch it back and it happens over and over.

Must use the app to properly use it. To use this to its best potential you should be using with optical audio in order to fine tune how you want your party chat to in game ratio.

I’m going to start this review with a question. Shouldn’t the amp make the sound go louder? Instead, it won’t let the volume go beyond a certain level. Interestingly, without it, the sound can get really loud. Still, trying to understand what is going on. Of course I understand the SuperAmp is not really an amplifier in the traditional sense and I think I just misunderstood something here.
Once you ignore the above issue – if it actually is an issue, it is not difficult to enjoy the sound quality and features. I could hear and understand some voices that I thought were just gibberish in some games. Mic performed very well too according to the feedback I had. The EQ audio presets met my needs like a glove. Maybe it is not the best gaming headset I have owned but it definitely is among the best so far and I am actually having a hard time deciding weather it is the best or not.
It is designed for the hard-core gamer and I will not go deep into the analysis of the audio quality beyond that. As an audiophile, I tend to look into games differently than when I am enjoying music. If music was all I wanted this would not be my headset of choice. However, for gaming, I definitely would recommend it. It sounds really good for that type of usage.
Comfort is one of the most important things to me and the Turtle Beach Elite Pro meets my demands. I was fine playing for a couple of hours and felt like I could go and on. I sometimes use progressive reading glasses and I usually take them off because other headphones would make it hard to wear them. Not a problem for me because I don’t actually need them to play games, but I can see that many gamers who actually need to wear eye glasses will love to know that this headset does not get in the way.
Design is good overall. Not only comfort but look is not bad either. It feels well-built also.
My only complaint is that it is a mix of wired/wireless headset, but I am fine with that. As I mentioned before, I do recommend it for hardcore gamers. It is a lot of fun.
