Turtle Beach - Elite Atlas Aero Wireless Stereo Gaming Headset for PC with Waves Nx 3D Audio - Black/Silver

Excellent sound and voice. Surround sound works as well as can be expected using a single speaker, and it's a real advantage when playing shooters against human opponents online. Comfortable even when wearing for all day sessions. Unfortunately within 90 days the headband broke where the headband connects to the earcup arm and pivtots. Turtle Beach did replace it, however it took 15 days, which is at the least, disappointing. May want to actually get Bestbuy's replacement warranty if you buy this. The other issue is with the software. After receiving the new headset, the software (Turtle Beach Conrol Studo) exists in a perpetual download/install loop and will not launch, making it difficult to properly set up all the features of the headset. Emails to Turtle Beach Support has been acknowledged, but not even an attempt at a solution has been offered. Haven't heard back from them in almost 2 weeks. Terrible technical support and, while the build quality seems solid, questionable longevity really mars what is an excellent performing headset.

Bought in April 2020, and plastic on left ear piece is already cracking. Not sure how it will effect integrity in the future, but plastic seems cheap. Other than that, it is a good headphone with decent range. Like others have stated, heavier that past headphones.

Quality of sound is great but the wifi usb dongle metal part got stuck in my laptop. had to use pliers to get it out. the metal part on the usb dongle is very poorly made. I tried to fix it but with no luck. Working with customer support to see if turtle beach can replace it, otherwise will just return it to bestbuy. I'll update my review when I get the answer from TB support and maybe the replacement of the wifi dongle. I also don't like that i actually have to use the dongle for it to work wireless. I think it would have not been very difficult to put a wifi module inside or a bluetooth.

The build quality on this headset is amazing. It’s built better than a lot of other headsets with the $100-$150 range. The sync is easy and effortless. I’ve use turtle beach since 2009 I love their products.

In less than 6 months the headset broke at the right ear cup. Contacted Turtle Beach about warranty and has been a complete runaround. As you can see in the attached photo it broke right at the serial number and through some research this is a common breaking point. The picture is highly zoomed. The serial number is very small print. They are refusing to replace the headset because I cannot give them an accurate serial number due to no fault of my own. Steer clear of this product.

Great item for my PC gaming also use for my xbox one

First off, this is a really high quality feeling and looking headset. Very sturdy build quality and comfortable ear cups. On the flip side of that, this is a really heavy headset and pretty bulky. I'm not sure if it's the heaviest I've ever used, but it's at least one of the heaviest. This can be an issue with long periods of constant use. The Turtle Beach Control studio gives you a slew of options and features for this headset on your PC. You can pretty much configure everything from mic monitoring to what they call "Superhuman Hearing." There is so much customization here that I can't imagine needing anything else to optimize the sound to your liking. Sound quality is really great. Details in games comes through great and positional sounds are easy to track. Great gaming headset. For other stuff while on PC like music or movies, these are also great. I noticed no latency issues with watching videos. Sound of the mic is also good, but there is some noticeable sibilance if you have the mic very close to your mouth. I suggest keeping it a decent distance from your mouth when using it. Overall, a really nice wireless headset. One down side, which I didn't take off for in the score, is these don't work well with PS4 wirelessly. To be fair, these aren't advertised as a wireless headset for PS4. They will kind of work wireless on PS4, but you have no control over the sound other than from the PS4 menu. The sound is low no matter what you do, so wireless these aren't a good option. They do come with a 3.5mm cable with in-line mic to use on PS4 or other devices that have a 3.5mm jack. It would have been nice if these had worked wireless with PS4, as other wireless PC headsets have this option. Maybe in a future firmware upgrade or something. Anyway, I recommend these for a quality PC headset.

These are my first gaming headphones. I like the construction and how compact it is when stored away. They fit my large head perfectly. I was able to watch a 2 hour movie and played DOTA 2 for a couple of hours without feeling fatigue. They felt fairly comfortable but it would probably feel a little fatiguing to wear for much longer than a few hours. This might be because I’m not really used to wearing headphones. The installation was very easy. I plugged in the tiny wireless adapter into my computer’s USB port and plugged in a USB charging cable to charge the headphones. The initial charging took about 30 minutes and it’s supposed to last 30 hours per charge. I’ve been using these headphones for a few days (at a couple of hours each day) without needing to recharge so battery life does seem excellent. There was a piece of paper with instructions that provided a link to download and install the Turtle Beach Control Studio application that can be used to customize the sound. When starting up, the application stated that it couldn’t find any drivers so it proceeded to download them and everything seems to work perfectly after that. The microphone attached easily (but make sure it is oriented correctly or it won’t plug in) and I like the flexibility of being able to adjust the position of the microphone. On the left ear piece there are two volume adjustments (one for chat and the other for the master volume), the power button, the mic input, a mic mute button, a wired audio input for connecting to a game system or other audio device, and a remappable macro button that can be used to activate Superhuman hearing. The headphones quickly connected after pressing the power button. The connection seemed solid and I never experienced any drop-outs. I played around with the volume, 3D Audio, Game Spatializer and Superhuman Hearing settings. The sound quality was fantastic. Music and movies sounded great on the headphones with crisp clear dialog and good bass. At first I was disappointed with sound from watching movies, but then I realize that I had to set Power DVD to use TrueTheatre Surround Sound instead of the Stereo Headphones and then the sound stage opened up and became more immersive. Games such as DOTA 2 sounds great with crisp vocals and effects. I don’t really play much FPS games since I get a little nauseous from them so I didn’t really get a chance to see how effective something like Superhuman hearing would be. From activating it, it just seems to make things sound louder with an emphasis on certain frequencies like vocals. I was not able to use chat in a game but I did make an audio recording using the microphone and I thought my voice sounded very clear. I usually don’t like the sound of my voice but I thought I actually sounded good in the recording. The Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero seems to only be usable wirelessly from a Windows 10 PC. You can use it on an Xbox One (or other game systems) using the wired connection. I’m hoping that Turtle Beach can update it so it can be used wirelessly from an Xbox One because these would make great headphones to wear while watching a movie late at night without worrying about disturbing your family. Overall, I would recommend these headphones. They are comfortable and provide great sound for music, movies and games.
