Turtle Beach is on to a winner with the Elite Atlas Aero, offering premium build quality and a high-end audio experience without a budget-breaking price tag. Couple that with wireless connectivity, advanced audio features like Waves Nx 3D Audio and Superhuman Hearing via Control Studio for PC and you’ve got a great all-round gaming headset.

Turtle Beach’s wireless take on the Elite Atlas improves on the original, with built-in controls, software-side support, and more. At twice the price though, this upgrade doesn’t have the same breakout appeal.
