Turtle Beach Elite Atlas

The Turtle Beach Elite Atlas are above-average for gaming. This headset is great if you don’t mind the short cable and the fact it isn’t wireless. You can still use the PC splitter cable for additional range. The microphone is very good for online gaming, and the sound quality is good. The thick padding is comfortable for long gaming sessions, but you might have to take the headset off from time to time to let your ears cool off as they do get hot after a while. Just be sure to use them in a quiet environment since they don’t isolate ambient noise very well.
