I'll get straight to it with a comparison review.I'll compare the Atlas Aero vs an audiophile headset (Sennheiser HD25), and against my current gaming headphones; a Razer Kraken, which beat pretty much all other gaming headphones I've owned before it (mostly Logitech, but also some older Turtle Beach models such as the 420X). So the Kraken is the one to beat for gaming in my book.First up; audiophile music.I listened to Beethoven's Sonata Number 14. That's a piano piece, which gaming headphones are usually absolutely awful with; if you don't have the mids, forget it. So why test vs Beethoven? Battlefield-one and many other games (especially RPG) use a classical themed soundtrack.A quality audiophile response is important even for gaming!So the Senny comes out top (no surprise there!), but the Atlas isn't that far behind and still very listenable although it doesn't sound as bright as the Senny. The kraken sounds like most gaming headphones in this test; no mids and bass heavy, so a hollow and somewhat dull sound.Next up; video-game-centric music.I listened to a few game soundtracks on Spotify; WipeOut and Ruiner. WipeOut is beat-heavy club music, whereas Ruiner is hardcore darkwave industrial. The Sennys hold up with both very well (they have an excellent deep bass that goes down *very* low), but the Aero keeps up well. The Kraken is also good but a little muffled in the highs.Finally, games; I played Borderlands 3 and Steel Division 2.Borderlands is your modern FPS; lots of gunfire and shouting. Steel Division is a World war 2 strategy game, with lots of deep explosions and an orchestral soundtrack.This is where we finally see why audiophile headsets don't make good gaming cans; the directional stereo is just not there. You are at a definite disadvantage in being able to locate an enemy by the sound they make. You also lose immersion via a lack of directional ambient sound.The Atlas really comes into its own here, and is the best out of the three. Perhaps a little tinny for some out of the box, but download Turtle beach Control Studio and set the bass up on both 'Game bass boost' and the graphic equalizer and you are good.The Razer Kraken is also good here, and usually matches the Atlas, although it gains some points because it doesn't need any digital manipulation to sound bassy; it is bassy because of its physical construction and speakers.So, out of the Aero and Kraken, which is the best for pure gaming?Both beat all the Logitechs I have owned.Both sound great in games, but the Aero also sounds good with music, and the Kraken is more naturally bassy out the box (although the Aero can match it with a bit of digital processing).The Kraken feels lighter on your head. The Aero is tighter, but that it is because it wants to muffle out the ambient sound by sitting flush on your ears.The kraken is wired, but also makes no noise when there is zero audio. The Aero has a very noticeable hiss.Both have a very good stereo image, but once you add signal processing into the mix via Control Studio, the Aero wins. The Kraken has a good natural stereo separation, but doesn't come with any drivers, so you can't make it better digitally.The clincher for me is that I prefer something that allows me to listen to Youtube and Spotify as well as game with. Plus I play a fair bit of RPGs, and they tend to have classical music themed soundtracks that fall a bit flat with the Kraken. The Kraken is good for gaming but the Aero is a bit more of an all rounder, which makes it better for gaming overall if you play a more varied set of genres (the spectrum for me would be the dark electro of Ruiner to the more classical stuff in Elder Scrolls/Total War).The *big* downside for the Aero might be that it is not as loud as many other headphones at max volume. I suspect there is some sort of ear-health cutout going on here. It also doesn't have anywhere to stow the usb wireless dongle when you are not using it. That hiss at low sound levels might also be a problem for some.Oh, and to end, the Aero has some very endearing C3PO style beeps and trills for connection and sleep sounds. Many other wireless headphones have an American or Chinese voice, but the Aero has happy beeps for connection and a sad trill for when it disconnects on sleep. I'm clearly easily pleased(!) but ignoring the beeps, overall the Aero is my new go-to gaming headphone.It's a keeper for me simply because for me, it edges out the Kraken.

The microphone is good quality, able to record audio at perfectly good quality for non professional/studio purposes. It is easily adjustable and unobtrusive though, at least for my system, its default record volume was quite quiet so this may want increasing on the device or application you are using with the headphones. The headphones are also perfectly usable without the microphone boom attached if it isn't needed as the mic boom is easily attached/unattached.The headphones themselves are very comfortable, even for longer periods of time and the audio quality is excellent. The headphones feature a "Glasses Relief System" consisting of a tab to pull the cushioning in on itself to fit glasses frames.As someone who wears glasses, I appreciate the gesture but at least for me personally, I didn't really find any difference in comfort. The headphones do also dislodge fairly easily with sudden head movements. Also, when looking steeply down, the headphones do slip down my head somewhat, which is very unfortunate. However, typical use looking at a screen head on should be okay. Noise spill is minimal at medium volumes and very high volume is needed for clarity in the over spill.The headphones come with two cables - an approx 1 metre 3.5mm (standard phone size) jack to jack with one end marked to plug into the headphones themselves and the other into any device with a jack port. This cable has an audio control wheel which, at its lowest setting, mutes the audio and a mic mute switch (when the red bar is showing, the mic ins muted) . The length is ideal for connecting to a phone in your pocket however, it is a little too short for my liking as, sitting at a desk, using the headphones with my desktop, I cannot really turn away or lean back. The other cable is approx 2 metres long and has a female jack at one end and the other end has two male jacks for a speaker out and mic in. Both cables must be used in conjunction with each other for the microphone to be used while only the 1 metre cable is needed for the headphone speakers. This is something to consider depending on how you wish to use the headphones as you may end up with lots of excess cable to deal with.The headphones can be folded outward to make the device flatter which may be useful when packing bags etc but, because they fold outward, they end up taking up more space as an awkward shape so this feature may not be useful to you.When I first used the headphones initially, I had a myriad of problems. Pure speaking voices (in my case a podcast) were very quiet to the point of being nigh inaudible and the volume wheel didn't seem to increase the audio. When I listened to pure music, without lyrics, the volume was fine but only the left speaker was outputting anything while the right was silent. This was unaffected by the pan settings on software on my computer. Listening to a video with dialogue and background music produced the most bizarre effect - something I could only describe as a 'bubble' effect making the video entirely unintelligible. These issues persisted between my IPhone and desktop. Disconnecting and reconnecting the headphones, with the inbuilt Realtek Audio software on my computer which classifies any connected audio device and selecting headphone and microphone for the correct cable repeatedly eventually solved all the problems with the fixes applying to my phone as well. I don't fully understand what caused the issues and why they resolved but I assume it was specific to my custom built system and so they are unlikely to affect anyone else - at least I hope at any rate.Set up is almost non existent, open the box, plug in the cables and mic boom and the headphones are ready to use.In summary:Very comfortableExcellent quality on both the microphone and the speakersOne cable is slightly too short, both together may be slightly too short for some set upsCan be used with or without the microphoneEasy to set up and useSome slipping with sudden head movement or looking steeply down but shouldn't be a major issue in common use

Judging by the packaging these Elite Atlas headphones arrive in Turtle Beach are a bit proud of them and they have reason to be. I've got various pairs of gaming headphones and these would be in the middle price range but they're in the upper levels in terms of quality. The first thing that strikes you is how big and bulky they are, the earpieces especially are huge both in width and depth. The second thing that strikes you is how light and comfortable they are when you're wearing them. In actuality they aren't particularly lightweight but the way the weight is distributed on your head mean they don't feel heavy and sit quite securely with only the slightest movement as you move your head or lean over.They do seem a bit over-engineered with the inner headband in particular relying on high tensioned cords and thin metal rods, but the overall build quality feels really good.The earpieces both swivel in one direction, to accommodate angled heads, but there's only a small range of adjustment in height. There are just two click-stops to let you set the height and the earpieces only move about 2cm up or down. Thankfully the earpieces are so large it isn't too much of an issue and your ears (unless they're enormous) should still be comfortable contained within the thick padded cushions. Those cushions and the soft seal they form around your ear keep a good amount of ambient noise out too, without the need for electronic noise cancellation. The real standout feature, at least for specky-four-eyes like me is that inside the ear cushions (which are held on by magnets) there's a hidden adjuster for spec-wearers. You simply pull a plastic tape which is perforated with holes and hook one of the holes over a little post and as you do that the tape pulls the inside of the cushion and forms a little indentation in it that the legs of your spec's can sit into. The tape and the little post are completely hidden inside the cushion but the adjustment can make wearing spec's, especially big geeky spec's like mine, with these headphones much more comfortable and it's a little stroke of genius to have designed this in.The sound quality is really good and they have a solid chunky sound that matches the build, unusually for gaming headphones there's quite a lot of deep bass. Good gaming headphones are often more about detail and stereo placement than big thumping bass - you want to hear where every sound is coming from within your game and don't necessarily want to be deafened at every gunshot or explosion. These Elite Atlas are maybe slightly lacking in detail but deliver more on the bass, which will suit some gamers more than others.Along with the headphones you get the microphone which simply plugs in to the bottom of the left earpiece when you need it and is easily removed when you don't. It's got a very flexible stem and there's a little foam pop-filter built into the mouthpiece. The cable comes in two parts with a short length that ends in a standard jack plug and will plug into games controllers that have a suitable socket. This short cable also has an inline remote control with a switch for the mic and a volume control for the headphones. You can add the supplied extension to this which makes it much longer and terminates in two jackplugs, one carrying the headphone audio and the other the microphone output and this cable's meant for use with a PC. The cable is my only complaint with these headphones, it's a braided cable meaning it has a texture and when the top section between the headphones and inline remote rubs against your clothing, as it inevitably will, it makes a noise that transmits right up and into the left earpiece. During the height of battle you won't notice it much but in quieter moments it's really annoying, even normal breathing can make it happen, and they could have tried to isolate the cable from the earpiece better. It's a small blight on an otherwise really good pair of gaming headphones and compared to what I've spent on good gaming headphones in the past they seem good value to me.

Back in May 2017 I had an Turtle Beach Elite Pro Tournament gaming headset. My only real problem with that headset was that you had to buy extra components for most ways you might use it - for example, you needed cable splitter to convert the mini jack into a separate headphone and microphone jack in order to plug it into your computer. An easy problem to solve, but it annoyed me.I'm happy to say Turtle Beach have seen sense and this Elite Atlas Pro headset comes complete with an attractive two metre cable that converts the single mini jack in two.Another issue I had with my old Elite Pro headset was the weight - the old headset weighed 452 grams. Again, I'm happy to say that this Elite Atlas Pro weighs a more sensible 394 grams.This feels a lot more tolerable to me and I can wear them much longer. One of the things that added weight to my old Turtle Beach headset was the tension adjustment in the band that goes over your head - maybe because I have a fairly big head I always had it set at its lowest tension. I find now with this new headset having no adjustable tension it's just fine, I have exactly the right level of pressure over my ears, and I'm sure it's saved some weight in the process.This headset has an easy to adjust system that creates a pair of channels for the side arms of your glasses to fit into, if you wear them. I wear glasses and I make use of this feature. It's not vital by any means, but again it helps your endurance if you're wearing the headset for many hours.I'm happy to say this is a closed-back design so I can sit in the same room as my wife and she doesn't complain about noise leakage. The downside is that it creates a bit of a heat buildup in my head, but I've tried using my Sennheiser open-back headset and my wife won't tolerate the noise for more than a few minutes.Magnets feature in two unusual places in this headset design - firstly the pads are held in place by four magnets. The grip seems quite weak and the pads are easy to pull away but I haven't found them coming loose while in use. Removing the pads reveals the glasses channel adjustment, and it gives you a chance to have a look at the detailed and impressive speaker cone design. I don't know if Turtle Beach just do it for looks but it looks exactly like a part of Iron Man's costume. The other magnets hold the outside of the headset in place. This is a very lightweight piece of plastic and the idea is that you can buy replacements with different designs. Hardly what you'd call necessary but I suppose it's nice to add a bit of personalisation.I like the microphone boom, which can be unplugged if you're not using it. It has an adjustable bend, stays where you put it and delivers clear vocals when you speak into it.Finally, the sound. There is a ton of bass, and it sounds really good. Cinematic music sounds fantastic. The sound doesn't have the same fidelity as my Sennheisers, but it keeps me engaged with an exciting sound.Given that these headphones cost 35% less than my last Turtle Beach headphones, they come supplied with the vital splitter cable, they weigh less so are more tolerable to wear, I think they're excellent, and it's now time to retire my old headset.By the way - I check how much single-use plastic is shipped with products. Most of the components in the Turtle Beach box come in their own plastic bag and these weigh a total of 7 grams. there is also a totally unnecessary sheet of clear plastic in the box that weighs 24 grams. What's it for? Finally there is a big 92 gram chunk of black foam that holds the headset in place inside the box. If you're going to keep the box to store your headphones then you could argue that this isn't single-use plastic - but I would be very doubtful that it is easy to recycle when it does eventually go in the bin. I would like to see Turtle Beach show some thought leadership and cut out the unnecessary plastic that they ship with their products. I think the makers of genuine luxury products respect our planet.

Absolutely amazing set of headphones.First of all, these are probably the heaviest set I’ve tried to date, and admittedly I do get a sore neck easily because of chronic pain so I found I needed to use a memory foam neck pillow for support with these. I also found I had to balance the right side ear-hole area a bit over my scaffold (tip of ear) piercing as it didn’t half irritate the piercing the first wear (didn’t realise until took them off).Set up is quite straight forward - there’s a little USB transmitter that you put into the laptop/pc and then go through your settings and select the elite atlas set as your “default” sound (don’t worry about doing this, when the transmitter is unplugged,your system goes back to default onboard sound without any extra clicking). If you don’t have an extra USB port, it does have a wire for it. This is wireless so obviously, it will need charged from time to time. There’s a USB lead to charge it and once it’s charged, you get a good amount of play time. Not having a wire gives a nice sense of movement if you need to move a lot but don’t like restriction of wires.The sound quality seemed a bit empty to me at first until I kicked up “Skyrim” (I don’t play FPS games on pc). I’d have my character roaming through areas with waterfalls, it was almost as if I could feel the wind, it was so strong against my ears, almost like it sounds in real life. Things like distant birds and growls were so much more apparent, the sound of cave water dripping, the sound of the dragons roars. What astounded me a lot was how I could suddenly hear the difference in ground textures. I could now hear when my character was walking on snow, a soft distinct crunch to it unlike the walking on grass or paths - the sounds of feet on wooden boards It’s so subtle but it brought the immersion forward and made me feel like I was playing for the first time, feeling the game around me in a completely different way.Just standing in game and listening to the environment is astounding, hearing the rising of the wind rumbling by, the waterfall rushing near, the swelling of music and depth in voices. Standing near a doorway in a mine and hearing the wind outside and get more distant the further in you go. Hearing dust and debris gently raining from cave ceilings (making it feel more like the area was dangerous). The echo of a mining pick, as if you can feel it bouncing off the nearby walls...the rumbling of caves, adding that really dark creepy atmosphere. It just completely changes this game for me. Even how differences voices change on NPCs, giving a completely different sense of space in the game areas (large rooms, etc).I haven’t tried the mic yet as I’m quite shy and honestly I don’t tend to play the kind of games where microphones are required, although a lot of people will be glad to know the mic can be removed and plugged in for when you want to use it so it is not always there in the way.They don’t completely cancel out noise but they do mute out most of it. They do however make you feel a wee bit hot with their weight and size. Comfort level is there though, I didn’t feel uncomfortable at the ears (although it takes getting used to the weight).The left side has two dials which you can play with to get the right sound depth you want. I’m still fiddling with them trying to get the right balance.I really do love how this just changes the games for me, it brings new immersion and makes me feel more lost in the worlds I’m in. O can understand why these are so premium. A serious gamer will absolutely adore these.

As an avid PC gamer, I have tried a lot of gaming headsets over the years. Recently however I have not come across many Turtle Beach products – so I was very interested to try their new Elite Atlas Aero wireless headset. A couple of years ago I used one of their midrange PS4 variants and after trying it again before writing this review, the Atlas Aero blows it out of the water. But all is not perfect.The build of the Atlas Aero feels quite solid. There are some creaks from the headband when manipulating the headset, but nothing can be heard when the headset is in use. The earcups feel quite soft to touch, but the squeeze from the headset makes them feel quite hard and slightly uncomfortable for longer gaming sessions.Having said that, I have never had any issues with the headset creeping forward over my head when in use. Due to the strong clamp, they stay in place unless physically moved themselves. The headband is easy to adjust and offers good adjustability for a range of head sizes. Set-up is easy, plug in and play with Windows 10. Custom firmware is available online from Turtle Beach alongside a control and sound customisation application named Turtle Beach Control Studio.Sound quality is average. I have heard better for a lower price and I had to do some customising to make the headset sound better for music. Firstly, disabling Turtle Beach ‘signature sound’ using Control Studio. This makes music sound flat and the same for in-game sounds. The 3D audio feature is also okay but not as good as Dolby Atmos for Headphones which is my favourite digital signal processing tool. Enabling this, and disabling Turtle Beach EQ, makes the headphones sound better with decent bass. Music still lacks a bit of definition, but for gaming I haven’t experienced any issues. In game explosions are immersive and in FPS games, the direction of bullets can be heard quite clearly. For gaming alone the Atlas Aero is good.The microphone quality has attracted some complaints from my regular gaming friends, who could instantly tell that my headset had changed upon switching to the Atlas Aero. The sound quality was distant and tinny compared to my usual headset, albeit still clear. Chances are that it would be fine unless you are expecting crystal clear audio. I do like that the microphone is removable (connects via 2.5mm jack) and offers good adjustability. Noise rejection also worked okay, and keystrokes were barely audible when I tested the headset with a sound recording application.I appreciated the inclusion of a standard 3.5mm audio jack with the headset. This allowed me to connect it to my Rift S VR headset directly and use it during VR gaming sessions quite comfortably. It fits perfectly under the Rift S’ headband. This option also allows for the Atlas Aero to be connected to a PS4 controller for audio when console gaming.In conclusion, the Atlas Aero is a good headset. Sound is subjective, and I’m sure there are many people who appreciate the custom EQ settings that Control Studio offers. As a bit of an audiophile it just didn’t cut the mustard for me, especially for music. In game, the headset worked just fine. The microphone quality isn’t great but this is the same for many wireless headsets that rely on limited wireless bandwidth to transmit both audio and microphone inputs. Whether you should buy this headset depends on what your use case is going to be. For gaming alone – it is decent. For mixed gaming/entertainment use, there are better alternatives available in the crowded gaming headset market.

OK, not quite perfect. There are a couple of things I don't like about this headset. The microphone is perfectly serviceable, but definitely communication rather than broadcast quality. The earphones have a quiet but noticeable hiss when there's nothing playing - this comes from the microphone circuit, and disappears if you mute the microphone. The accompanying Control Studio software sometimes decides it wants to update the firmware on the headset, and when it does it deletes all your custom settings.Other than those three things, it's hard to fault the headphones. The sprung headband, which is slung beneath the sprung steel that connects the earpieces together, is probaby the most comfortable I've ever come across,either in gaming or in hi-fi. Each earphone slides up and down and can pivot in all directions to make a comfortable fit. The over-ear pads are soft and comfortable, with plenty of soft foam filling. The backs of the cans are hard plastic, with all the controls accessible using your left thumb. And the speakers are lovely large things, with only a thin metal mesh covering them, so the sound is not obstructed at all.The controls are the on/off button, the master volume thumbwheel, another thumbwheel which by default lats you set the volume for your voice in your own ears (so you can hear what other players are hearing), but is configurable to other purposes, and a configurable button which by default gives you "superhuman hearing". You can change it to a number of other purposes, including a "master mute". There's also a 3.5 mm jack for the supplied cable for using the headset with your phone. If you just want to listen to music, the microphone detaches easily. The wireless connection is handled by a little USB dongle that just works.The default headphone sound is impressive. It's not quite hi-fi, but it's not far off - great for watching films or listening to music. The default settings are also great for playing games, but if you want to adjust the settings, the Turtle Beach Control Studio software lets you configure keyboard shortcusts to adjust settings, or you can adjust the settings directly within the app, on the Dashboard page. These settings include things like setting the mix between game sounds and the team chat, setting noise gating on the microphone and setting 3D audio, a "spatializer" and "superhuman hearing", all of which presumably are intended to give you an advantage in multiplayer FPS. You can save the game and global presets separately.There's also a separate page with a ten-band equaliser for Game, Chat and your microphone. You can record and play back your voice here, to test how the mike sounds. My inclination is to leave well alone: this headset sounds great, and there's already excellent spatial positioning without having to augment it in software.As far as I'm concerned, the software is the icing on the cake. The headset is an excellent design (and I speak as someone who has worked through a number of rather good Senheiser gaming headsets and a none-too-shabby Logitech wireless headset as well), comfortable to wear and sounding just fabulous.This is my new favourite headset.

There is a lot to like about these Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Pro Performance gaming headsets.I’ll start off with a couple of minor grumbles - and they are pretty minor:Firstly, the circular adhesive patches that kept the box sealed were a nightmare to get off. I tend not to resort to sharp implements, and in my determination managed to get a papercut from the cardboard. I would have appreciated a more accessible packaging solution.Secondly, this headset is headed-up as being for PC Gaming in its title and all over its marketing, with console compatibility just listed as a footnote. I’m not sure why that is. Perhaps there is a preconception amongst the hardcore PC Gaming fraternity that console gaming is going to taint one of their prestigious audio accessory brands,but in reality, they have nothing to worry about.Back in my day I was all about the PC Gaming, and Turtle Beach have always had a great pedigree for providing well thought out audio components for the PC. In fact I remember when they were pretty much exclusively about sound cards than headphones or anything else. But times they are-a-changin’ and companies have to broaden their product offering to hedge bets and stay competitive. Sticking with gaming and with a lean towards audio they are well-placed to offer solutions to those who understand the quality that comes with the brand (provided they stick to it).This particular headset is nice. The ear cans are made of a very spongy memory-style foam which is comfortable and malleable, and so shouldn’t cause too much (if any) discomfort for users with spectacles. The microphone attaches via 3.5mm connection, and there is a separate 3.5mm connection for the line-in which includes in-line controls for volume and mute. In some ways I think I prefer the integrated microphones with flip-up action that mute on the flip-up, as that feels more convenient, but each to their own.The over-head section has a particularly well-made feel to it with an exposed metal structure adding to the impression of sturdiness. The sides have have a notched action that means it shouldn’t creep in size and stay to the setting you put it to.The length of the cord is fairly decent although those that sit some way back might want be left a little wanting but it all feels like a solid piece of kit.Getting on to the audio quality, this is a great-sounding bit of kit. It is geared towards gaming rather than music, so I found there was great clarity and detail, and some good thump, but if you plan on listening to music more than gaming you might prefer a more rounded sound - not that these are bad in any way, but they are tailoring to a particular audience here, and make no apologies for it.For a price of c. £89.99 ( at time of review) these are smack in the mid-range of typical Gaming headsets (so perhaps the use of the ‘Elite’ moniker is a little misleading on their part), but if you value some brand-kudos and like that exposed metal design chic, these are a solid offering.

There are probably a lot of audiophiles out there who would have a lot to say about the music reproduction of these headphone but for one I can't notice and two as a gaming headset you can hear EVERYTHING!I am going to first briefly mention two potential drawbacks; media playback quality and headset size [skip next 2 paragraphs if this doesn't concern you]. I think most peoples main issue with music playback will be Bass reproduction. If you want headphones that are going to vibrate your soul with your favourite bassy track then look elsewhere now. However, that is where the downsides end... this headset was designed to hear every sound within a game and that translates to music and film.I can hear instruments I have never heard before in songs I have known for years and a little EQ tweak can fix the bass for the majority of people.The size is to be expected from any over hear headphones, and I don't really expect many people to want to carry them around in their bag however the ear cups will turn 90 degrees to aid with this. At the end of the day I expect the majority of people will store them next to their respective gaming rig.Design - Understated design. I personally like the black/brush metal finish better in person and would happy wear them as headphone on a train journey.Unplugable cables and mic are a feature I didn't know I needed but are a great addition for usability. Mic is easily adjusted which seems like it should be a normal feature but there are so many headsets where this isn't the case.Super comfortable. The ear cups are designed to not crush your ears and if you wear glasses have an extra support feature to reduce pressure on the areas where the arms might sit, so after an hour it doesn't feel like they are trying to fuse the glasses into my skull.Build - Is solid and not too creaky. Though I have seen some broken for spares I do not feel like they are going to snap on me if normal use.Sound - The mic is clear enough for my uses with some reasonable noise cancellation. My friends like that they can hear me properly now.I can hear every pin drop in game now. In a game like Warzone it can be quite overwhelming for the first game or so as you can hear people from such a distance that there is just so much sound information being thrown at you. Easily gives you that upper hand in competitive gaming.I would definitely recommend this as a gaming headset and if you're okay with a little less bass disconnect the mic and use them as a decent pair of headphones.

I must admit I'm not a gamer. Instead I use headphones a lot on long flights, working at the PC and for watching TV when my wife's downstairs - we have a single audio space for our upper and lower living areas. I've also got a big head as well as big ears and have had endless problems with earphones. In-ear ones led to everything going quiet until I got my ears syringed. On the ear ones are OK for a while but not the best sound. Most big over the ear ones I've tried are simply not big enough and really hurt after 30 minutes. So I got these for comfort and audio separation as much as anything.So yes, they fit very well indeed and the soft (removable)memory foam cushions are ever so comfortable although they do eventually make my ears quite warm. The noise leakage is really minimal so they're fine on trains etc. I imagine they'd be pretty good on aircraft, even without active noise cancelling. The only downside is that because they are primarily gaming headphones the cables are odd. There is an ultra short 1 metre main cable, with a 5 segment jack plug the headphones end. That's just OK in a plane but too short for many routine uses (including gaming?) so at the PC I have to use the 2m extension cable, ending in normal headphone and mic 3.5mm jack plugs. I'll have to buy an adapter for use with the TV (the PVR has old style phono audio outputs for headphones).What about audio quality? It's impressive, with decent high frequency response (apparently boosted for games use) and a good but not too boomy bass register. The mid range is fine too. I tried it with a range of classical music; John Rutter's Requiem, a Mendelssohn symphony and Mozart's Mass in C. That's quite a demanding mix and it all sounded pretty good and very clear, maybe a little too much treble. That was confirmed when I did a comparison on my favourite (more expensive but not so comfortable) headphones, over the ear Panasonic RP-HD10s. They have a cleaner, brighter sound. But the Elite Atlas are still pretty good. Then I tried them on some rock/pop music. Everything from Queen, Springsteen and the Stones to Frank Zappa (Peaches en Regalia) sounded clear and compelling and Dolly Parton with Harper Valley PTA was great fun. So despite not being a gamer I'd have given these immersive and super comfortable headphones 5* if they had just come with a less short main cable. Even better if there had been some way to switch between equalisation geared to games or music.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Turtle Beach - Elite Atlas Aero headphones to be all around headphones. When I purchase headphones I generally look for sound quality and comfort, however with gaming headphones I prioritize comfort and usability. I found that the Elite Atlas Aero headphones are extremely comfortable around my ears, however the frame is a bit tight on my head. This tightness prevents the headphones from falling off but I do need to take them off from time to time or it does get uncomfortable. I also found that the quality of the Bluetooth is perfect. There doesn't seem to be any delay between the audio and image which is ideal (especially for gaming).As for wired, there isn't much of a difference between the headphones with or without the wire besides the wire getting in the way. I typically don't mind wired headphones especially since it allows you to use the headphones when you forget to charge them. Speaking of the charge, I have charged my headphones over a week ago and have gotten several hour of use without need for an additional charge. The microphone works well and doesn't get in the way and I really like that you can attach and detach the microphone when you want to use it or not. I like that all of my volume switches are located behind the left earphone. One of my concerns with the headphones are that the directions are poor. The headphones don't come with any instructions on how to charge them, use them, or anything else. I know headphones are straight forward but you cannot plug in the Turtle Beach headphones and use them straight from the box. You have to download an additional software to manage them while you game which I found out by googling if there were any online setup directions. However, My biggest concerns with the headphones which resulted me in taking 1 star off of my review was that the headphones are very quiet. Even at 100% volume the headphones have are not very loud. If the headphones didn't have so much else going for them I would have taken away more than one star. The sound quality despite being quiet is decent for gaming headphones but not great for music. Ultimately, I would absolutely recommend these headphones for someone who is looking to game, however if you are looking to listen to more music with your headphones then I would recommend a brand more focused on music quality.

There are three headsets within the Atlas range: One; Three & Atlas Elite. The Atlas one is the cheapest in the range whereas the Atlas Elite is the most expensive.Note: Whilst these headsets are primarily made for PC gaming, they can be used with other platforms such as the PS4; Xbox One; Switch and even smartphone (if it has an AUX output).This review is for the Atlas One headset.*¨*:·.·:*¨*:·.·:*¨*:·.·:*¨*If money is strict when looking for a headset, then the Atlas One is certainly one to consider. Despite it being considered more of a "budget" headset, I think the quality will surprise many considering the price.By default, there is a fixed stereo cable attached to the headset,however if you want to use it for PC gaming, there is a headphone/microphone split cable adaptor included.The Atlas One has a nice overall look to them, with the headbands having a carbon fibre patterned design and they are also very lightweight. The quality in construction is definitely on the lower end however they don't feel too cheap to the point they're going to fall apart easily, that said I did notice when adjusting the headband, it was a little stiff and didn't quite adjust as smooth like previous, more expensive Turtle Beach headsets I've used before.Comfort-wise, I have absolutely no complaints, even as a glasses wearer after a fair amount of hours of continuous use; the headband and ear pads are incredibly soft and don't put much pressure onto your head (may vary on head sizes).For adjusting audio volumes, this is done via the rear of the left ear-cup which is easy to find.As for sound quality, the audio overall seems fairly well balanced although I personally would have liked a bit more bass delivery, but can't really complain due to the price point. I mainly play shooting games on the PS4 and these were satisfactory. I've also used these to listen to music from my MP3 and once again, pretty happy with that they have to offer.The microphone quality surprised me, for the price they are extremely clear!Overall, if you're not wanting to spend a lot of money on a headset, but don't want to skimp out on too much quality, these will definitely do a decent enough job.

These are a decent set of gaming headphones. I've been using a set of Razer headphones for the past couple of years but the covering and foam are splitting on the ear pad so these phones, although cheaper have been a decent substitute. They are nowhere near as comfortable to wear as the Razer phones, which I just forget I have on due to their serious padding. With these headphones I am aware all the time that I am wearing them but they aren't uncomfortable like some headphones I've tried recently. They are padded with a section along the top of the head and the ears in a dark grey synthetic fabric with lots of tiny pinprick holes.The blurb says that this fabric is "glasses friendly" and designed to make gaming comfortable for glass wearers.On my PC there are two options for setup standard jackport or two jacks (pale pink and green attachment ) that then fit into a standard jack that comes from the headphone. I think you only need to set them up like this if you want to access the extra features you can set them on. So they are still usable if you only have one phone jack port on your device. They come with a handy setup guide with simple diagrams to show you how to set them up for Xbox One, PS4 and PC/Mac.They have a flip down mic (which I don't use) and then two push down buttons on the ear can beside the mic, for power and mode which cycles through audio presets (if you want to use them). The volume is controlled by a fiddly (for me) dial at the base of the right ear can (under the mic) and another dial for mic volume, a usb charge port and a little power LED light completes the features on the right ear can. I found all this a bit irksome at first, as my other headphones were controlled on screen but I soon got used it. The sound is good. I would personally prefer the ear can to be a bit larger in circumference as I am aware of them sitting on my ears (but they thankfully don't push in) but overall I'm happy to move over to these headphones and thin that at the current price ( around £60-70) that they represent good value for money.

Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero Wireless PC Gaming HeadsetI was keen to give these a try when they were offered to me. I do listen to a lot of music, as these are described as gaming headphones, I was a little concerned as to whether these would be up to the job where music is concerned.These are comfortable to wear, they have a spring loaded metal head band, below this is a soft padded leather head strap that sits softly on the head. Each ear piece has a swivel joint which allows the ear pieces to rotate 90 degrees. The swivel joint allows just one ear piece to be used if required, it also allows the ear pads to sit comfortably over my ears. They also have a camber adjustment allowing the ear pads to swivel slightly to create a good seal,they feel soft and enclose my ears completely.On the left hand ear piece are the controls, charge socket, and input for the removable microphone. I did find the controls a little awkward at first when trying to adjust the volume, but when I had worked out what did what it became second nature.In Use:I plugged the supplied USB Transmitter into a spare port on my Windows 10 computer, within seconds the headphones were paired, ready for use. First impressions were how comfortable these felt, they are a little heavier than I am used to, but I put that down to the large speakers in each ear piece. Sound wise, they sounded great in games, for music, they did sound good but seemed to lack a little punch. With a few tweaks in the supplied software I then had quite a decent sound whilst listening to my music.I'm very pleased with these, they appear to be well made, look great, and with a bit of tweaking I can get a good sound out of them. In games they are really good, every little sound seems to come alive - Recommended!Contents:1 x Microphone1 x USB Transmitter1 x 3.5mm mobile cable1 x USB cable1 x Instruction manual1 x StickerIf you have found my review at all helpful, I would very much appreciate if you could please click the 'Helpful' button below, thank you.
