Despite its good connectivity to the transmitter dock, we have experienced occasional sound drops without any good reasons as to why – we never sat more than 2 meters away from the transmitter dock. Its multi-platform compatibility is a strength, but Turtle Beach’s Elite 800 has an edge with its Superhuman Hearing setting, designed to boost quiet sounds, providing a slight advantage for discerning gamers.

They’re incredibly luxurious, especially if you’re used to the fabric mesh that covers most gaming headsets.

I used to own the Turtle Beach PX 51’s, I went through 6 pairs they all broke at swivel same exact spot every 6 months like clockwork no matter how careful you were. As online gaming has grown in popularity, dedicated headsets have gone from being a luxury to a necessity, and Turtle Beach has reaped the rewards.While the Elite 800 isn’t as stylish as wireless headsets from Bose and Parrot, it’s a big improvement on previous attempts from the company and gaming headsets in general. The wireless transmitter/dock connects to devices at home including PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PC and Mac using an optical audio connection and micro-USB.

Comfort and fit remain satisfactory, allowing for extended gaming sessions without discomfort or fatigue. You can mute the microphone, toggle ANC on and off, and adjust the headset and microphone volumes from the headset, using buttons on the ear cups. It takes a while to get used to speaking over voice chat with ANC enabled, as you can’t properly hear yourself – we found ourselves shouting until our teammates told us not to speak so loudly. There are an array of settings for movies, games, and music all toggled with a quick press of a button.

In all honesty, we only ever needed to use a handful of modes within each preset and that was for the sake of trying them. These Turtle Beach headphones are over ear headphones so that your ears are not carrying any of that weight and they feel robust and sturdy. Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 is another variation of this series that is compatible with most game consoles.
